Snow Leopard makes FCP 6.0.6 wipes black out main video

Since I upgraded to Snow Leopard I have found FCP 6.0.6 will not show the viewer window output properly on my 2nd screen via the View > VideoPlayback option, it just shows the first frame, if I scrub the viewer window it updates but not when I play it. But the canvas window does play back correctly in the 2nd screen.
Also getting very odd side effects if I use wipes like the QuickTime > Gradient Wipe on a 2nd video over the main video blacking out the canvas window while the wipe animates and then once complete the underlying video returns. Even when I render it out to a seperate QuickTime file it does this.
Anyone else experienced this?

It was just an upgrade from the standard DVD of Snow Leopard.
What I have also noticed is that both the new designed QuickTime interface and the old QuickTime 7 app are co-existing. I'm wondering whether that is part of the problem?

  • Snow Leopard makes 3 burps-beeps

    My imac 10.6.8 Snow Leopard makes 3 burps-beeps while running (not at  start-up) Nothing goes wrong or happens, just makes the 3 weird noises  while sitting with a web site open. How do I stop this. Only happens  about 2 to 3 times a day when it does this, but some days not at all. Use Firefox

    It's not as bad, but it still does it. I will put the hardware over view in here. At any time there is between 1.23 & 1.62 GB free.

    Would it help if I increased the memory to 8 GB & filled the two remaining slots.

  • Will an upgrade from Tiger 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard make me loose programs?

    I have an old 2007 Macbook pro and I need to upgrade from Tiger OS 10.4.11 to either leopard of Snow leopard because my charger broke and the new charger does not work probably in the older laptops unless you firmare update (which I cannot do as my OS is less than 10.5)
    My question is: Will upgrading wipe all the files and programs from my laptop? I have programs that I no longer have the discs, to install them with, for so if they get wiped I will be unable to get them back and they are programs I need on a daily basis. I was just wondering what upgrading from tiger to leopard will actually involve? Will I loose all files/programs so it would be like starting from scratch with a new computer? Or would it not change these things?

    Buy an external drive (or two).
    Clone your system before you begin.
    Repair the drive while at it, Apple First Aid and another 3rd party program.
    Make sure you can boot from your backup clone.
    Apple Restore is part of Disk Utilty or there is SuperDuper, or Carbon Copy Cloner.
    Me, I would take the above precautions. Then I would format your drive with SL DVD, and perform and clean install. Do all the updates. Then use Setup or Migration Assistant.
    Look for threads, there seems to be 4-5 a week at least on Migrating, going from 10.4 or from PPC to 10.6.
    That is the safest. In theory, and YMMV, you could try upgrade in place, but not without backups, and repairing your drive with SL DVD first.

  • Snow Leopard and FCP

    I have a couple questions about Snow Leopard with Final Cut Studio.
    First, in a quick search, I saw a couple folks saying that the experienced crashes or other basic problems under Snow Leopard. Is that a common problem from what you folks have seen?
    Second, does render performance speed up due to Grand Central Dispatch distributing it across more processors in the system, or just by the greater horsepower of 64-bit operation?

    For me, at least, there were issues but they were corrected by the x.0.1 updates released a few weeks ago. I was on 10.6.1 at the time and have recently updated to 10.6.2, things seem all good.
    In case it matteres, my main editing machine is a 2007 8-core that I simply upgraded to SL (I did not Erase-and-Install). With just 10.6.0 and FCP 7.0.0, I would get regular crashes with FXplug Filters. I have an ATI X1900X card.

  • Snow Leopard makes fan go on more often

    I just upgraded to Snow Leopard, but now I find whenever I'm streaming video online, the laptop gets very hot and the fan goes up to 5000 rpm. Any idea why? Thanks

    Because streaming video uses a lot of processing power and generates a lot of heat. The fan speeds up to prevent your MBP from overheating.

  • Boot Camp on Snow Leopard can't install Windows-Stuck on black BIOS screen

    I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on an early 2008 Mac Pro (dual 3.2Ghz Harperton CPU's, 10gb RAM) with Boot Camp version 3.0.4 (all updated). I've successfully had a Boot Camp partition in the past, running WindowsXP32 Bit. I just purchased Windows7 Professional and can't install either the 32bit or 64 bit version. Neither can I install any of my original Windows disc. Boot Camp successfully creates the partion, then asks me to install the Windows install DVD/CD which I do, and then when it reboots, it gets stuck in a black BIOS screen that says "Initializing..."
    I've tried all my Windows discs: WindowsXP-32bit, Vista-32Bit, Vista-64Bit, Windows7-32Bit, Windows7-64Bit. Same problem...gets hung on the black BIOS screen. I disconnected all my USB hardware except for my keyboard/mouse. All my other internal drives are disconnected.
    The only thing that I can think of is that is different is my MacHD is a 500GB Seagate MomentusXT solid state hybrid drive.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!!!!
    Thanks

    Hi fellow Mac buddie,
    I just zapped the PRAM, and also reset the SMC switch on the mother board.....no luck.
    In refenece to the hybrid SSD drive, I've already taken that one out, put in a fresh 3.5" drive, formatted and installed  a fresh clean version of Lion OS, and then attempted the Boot Camp install using Lion with the newest Boot Camp version (3.1 or 3.2) Please see my original post above.
    Same issue, black BIOS screen.
    Also tried Boot Camp Windows install on a second drive in drive bay 2 (an option now in Lion's Boot Camp)
    same issue, black BIOS screen.
    Lastly, I've tried all these interations using my three different Windows install disks (XP, Vista, Windows7).
    XP is a "full install" disk, Vista and Windows7 are upgrade disks. But I've had XP installed previously using Boot Camp with no problem. So I'm confused I can't even install XP.
    As another option, I went to a friend who has a PC, and I installed Windows 7 on a new hard drive. I'm about to install that in drive bay 2, reboot while holding down "option", and see if I can boot directly into that disk.
    That's a workaround, as is VMWare Fusion which I have and Windows7 works fine as a virtual machine.
    But when something doesn't work the way it's supposed to (in this case Boot Camp), it bugs me makes me want to know why it doesn't. I'll report back with regard to the 2nd bay Windows7 hard drive install.

  • We are having old home movies put on DVD's. How do we import them to MacBook Pro using Snow Leopard and iMovie 8.0.6.  Can watch the video, but can't get it to import.

    We are having old home movies put on DVD's. How do we import them to MacBook pro using Snow Leopard and iMovie 8.0.6?  Can watch the movies on the laptop, but they will not import.

    We took 3 video cassette 8mm that were recorded in the early 90's to a place that burned the videos onto 3 DVDs.  When inserted to our Mac, the DVD player comes on to play the DVD. Opened Quicktime, but can find no way to import. Went to File>Open File>Sony_DVD_Recorder_Volume. Clicked on Sony_DVD-Recorder_Volume and it shows a file named VIDEO_TS.  Clicked on that and 6 files showed VIDEO_TS.BUP,   VTS_01-0.BUP,   VTS_01_0.IFO,  VTS-01_1.VOB,   VTS_01_2.VOB, VTS_01_3.VOB.  Where is DVDxDV?

  • What to install first: Snow Leopard or FCP Studio 3 upgrade

    Ok, I will be finishing a big video project soon and will finally be able to upgrade to Snow and FCP Studio 3. I was wondering would upon the order of those installations, and whether or not it mattered in terms of optimization of FCS's performance? So, being that Snow is a complete rewrite under the hood, would it be better to do that first then install FCS upgrade on top of that, or the reverse?
    thanks

  • I have a imac 21.5 mid 2010 10.6.6 snow leopard osx.  how do I restore to out-of-the-box condition? No restore dvd came with it.  thank you

    Hello,
    I have an imac 21.5 mid 2010 and want to restore it to out-of-the-box condition.  It came with no dvds.
    thanks,
    budarobe

    That model should have come with a DVD for 10.6.3 or .4
    Call apple support and request the DVD for your model.  (The retail SL DVD won't help in your case as it's too old).

  • How do i update from snow leopard to lion after mountain lion has come out?

    My computer isnt compatable for mountain lion and i want to get lion but it doesnt appear in the app store

    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • I just upgraded to 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on my desktop but can't figure out how to install the app store.

    Need to download app store but can't find

    App Store is in your Applications folder and there should also be an icon in the Dock.

  • Can I wipe my hardrive before upgrading my Macbook to OS X 10.6 by using the Snow Leopard install CD?

    Can I wipe my hardrive before upgrading my Macbook to OS X 10.6 by using the Snow Leopard install CD?  Or do I need I need to wipe my computer from the OS X 10.5 CD that came with the laptop?
    In other words.  If I purchase the Snow Leopard Software for $29, can I wipe my hard drive first before installing it?  Or do I need to wipe my hard drive, reinstall OS X 10.5, and then continue to upgrade to Snow Leopard?

    If you want to wipe the drive in Leopard, do it from the install disk. Otherwise do it from you Snow Leopard install disc.

    *Final Cut Pro crashes on start up in Snow Leopard. (FCP Studio 7.) Is anyone else having this problem? Need a solution. Have tried trashing preference but did not fix it*
    I take it that you cloned your boot drive, and then did a clean install of SL, and then FCS2 with updates?
    No migration assistant, time machine or upgrade install?
    And that you trash your FCP preferences files after the upgrade?

  • How do I keep programs such as Word when I wipe my hard drive to reinstall Snow Leopard?

    I am having serious issues with Lion. Even after the update, I lose WiFi, my mailbox crashes, Word crashes without saving a backup, and it has just been a very distasteful experience. I talked with Apple, and they couldn't help me resolve issues beyond telling me to bring it in or reinstall. I am choosing to reinstall Snow Leopard. I am going to wipe my hard drive clean and start over. Could someone tell me how to keep programs such as Office '11 though? I am currently at school and I didn't bring my Office software with me to reinstall, so how could I save it? I can't really do a time capsule since I am running Lion and I want to reinstall Snow Leopard.

    If you are going to wipe the disk then you will have to reinstall the software.
    You can't have your cake and eat it also.

  • Back to Snow Leopard -- how?

    Having worked with OS X Lion now for about a day, I have to say I'm encountering too many issues. (A selection: Safari won't allow me to start with my Homepage and then have new tabs open with the Same Page for some reason (I'm not sure what exactly the people who review the software are reviewing: don't they see this?); my scanner won't scan to the right destination anymore; the folders in the Finder's sidebar that I've added there myself all have generic icons, which makes it hard for me to find the different folders I have there; apps that have to start up when other apps export files to them, don't -- et cetera. Just really a lot of stuff.) Maybe some of the issues can be fixed, but even then I can't see the appeal of Lion. A thumbs down, I'm afraid to say.
    What I'd like to know is: how do I revert back to Snow Leopard as painlessly as possible? I have my stuff backed up, I have Snow Leopard's Install disc right here, I'm all set. What do I do? I want everything to be the way it was yesterday. Maybe I'll look at Lion again later, but not right now.

    Back to Snow Leopard from Lion install method
    Read and print out these instructions, your computer is going to be offline and you wil be cutoff from help until your machine is restored.
    Clear the Desktop, Downloads and Trash of anything you wish to keep by placing their files in the respective Documents, Music, Pictures, Movie folders.
    Disconnect other drives except the sole backup drive.
    Backup ALL your Users folders (Documents, Pictures, Movies, Music etc) manually (drag and drop methods) to a (not TimeMachine) external powered drive (HFS+ journaled formatted in Disk Utility) and disconnect, your going to be wiping the entire boot disk of ALL DATA.
    (warning, everything will be gone and not recovered, OS, programs, files, Windows etc all gone.)
    Note: You might want to hold c and boot off the 10.6 installer disk and use Disk Utility to format the new blank external drive instead of using OS X Lion if that's hosed. Then reboot into Lion and copy files, may be safer that way.
    Here we go!
    Hold c and boot off the 10.6 installer disk that comes with your computer and second screen in just STOP there, don't install OS X yet.
    Look at the Utilities Menu for Disk Utility.
    On the left is the name of your hard drive maker, click it and Erase (format HFS+ Journaled), give it the same drive name as before, and click Erase...
    (note: if you want to "scrub" the drive of old files that haven't been overwritten yet, then use the Security Option > Zero Erase, takes a lot longer)
    This should wipe the drive of ALL partitions (GUID, OS X and 10.7 Recovery, Windows if present)
    When it's done, quit and install OS X 10.6. Then install all your programs from fresh sources and validate/update.
    When you setup a first account, use the same user name as before, this way you can simply drag and drop the content of your previous Users folders from the external drive right back into the new Users folders and everything should work peachy. Links in iTunes to music, playlists and iPhoto links especially.
    Update OS X to 10.6.8 using the Combo Update for best results.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    (Note: If your original machine had 10.5 and you want the free iLife that comes with the disks with the computer, then you'll have to install 10.5 first using the same c boot/erase/format methods as above, then update to 10.6 via the disk, then Combo Update 10.6.8)
    Final step optional but highly recommended.
    A lot of people use a Carbon Copy Clone of their boot drive to a new HFS+Journaled external drive (used only for this purpose) as a "hold the option key" bootable backup in case something goes wrong with their boot drive or need to restore to a previous OS X version..  (in addition to TimeMachine drive for more immediate backups.)
    It's not advised to have a Bootable Clone and a TimeMachine partition on the same external drive, as two drives gives hardware protection in case one fails.
