After Maverick, Final Cut 7 don't play and crash

After install a clean mavericks, final cut 7 runs without sinc, stop, crash. I have a Blackmagic and update too for mavericks. Disapoint, very disapoint!!! Apple Final Cut Pro X is terrible and Final Cut 7 don't work now!!!

You have to do more than delete the receipts, you
need to reinstall Quicktime. Do ALL of these steps.
Go to /library/receipts and delete any files
that say Quicktime followed by a number e.g.
Quicktime703.pkg
Go to the
Apple quicktime site and download the appropriate
version of Quicktime to your hard drive.
Run the Quicktime installer.
Repair Disk Permissions for your System Disk (Disk
Utility > Select the system disk > Repair Disk
Permissions)
Reboot
Also, just because the Capture window says "preview
disabled" does NOT mean you are crippled. Look under
the window, if it says 'vtr ok' you are good to go.
good luck

Thanks so much for the prompt response.Did all that you advised except the part about Repair Disk Permissions. Unable to locate this. Should this be located on my original install disc? Sorry for being so obtuse. I'm a better editor than computer tech.
Also, I can get to Log & Capture but a black box with a message 'Waiting for Time Code' pops up. Then another message which says 'This operation cannot be completed as there is no Time Code followed by the Spinning Ball.
Also I'm using a Dazzel Box as an interface between my Sony DV player and the G5 and external Panasonic Monitor. Any further help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Several times after restarting Final Cut X was very slow and it always kept repeating rendering on same three clips. Later it stops rendering on every restart and the machine was normal and faster. Now it keeps crushing on every restart

    My Final Cut X changed behaviour after conneting the external monitor via HDMI. Several times after restarting Final Cut X was very slow and it always kept repeating rendering on same three clips after every restart. Later the dual screen icon disapeared on the top of my screen and it stops rendering on every restart like before and the machine was normal and faster. Now Final Cut won't start anymore whenever I start it loads and crushes immediately on every restart.

    Upgrade FCPX

  • HT4589 After Yosemite Final cut pro will not run and says there are no updates available.

  • Final cut pro 4.5 playing back poorly

    I've been using Final Cut Pro 4.5 for a year or two now, and suddenly it's been dropping frames like crazy on playback. I just upgraded to OS X 10.4.6, and Quicktime 7.1, and after that, Final Cut Pro hasn't been working right. I use iMovie to import all my footage (just from a regular DV cam) and that works fine and everything plays back fine in Quicktime and in iMovie and in the Finder. However, when I'm looking at my project in Final Cut Pro, it already starts dropping frames and freezing up when my clips are still in the browser and I'm just looking at them in the viewer. They kind of freeze, and the audio keeps going, and then the video comes back a few seconds later, and freezes... Every once in a while I get an error message that says "General Error." I've closed all other applications, disconnected the internet, and Final Cut is still not even playing back my files correctly. Looking at other posts, I made sure no windows were overlapping, I set the zoom to "Fit to Window", I threw out the FCP preferences, everything I could think of. My computer is only an 800 Mhz Powerbook G4, but I have 1 Gig of RAM. The video files are all on an external Firewire hard drive, and both my internal and external drives have a good amount of free space. My laptop is also plugged in with the energy set to Best Performance. And until upgrading my OS, I hadn't had any problems like this. Has anyone else experienced this? Is Upgrading to FCP 5 the only solution (or will that not work either?) please help. Thanks.

    I think your problem stems partly because of OS and QT combination you are running. I'm a firm believer in running FCP HD in 10.3 and QT 6 because it was written for that OS and QT combo... I've an article about all of this in the Creative COW magazine.http://forums.creativecow.net/cgi-bin/newpage_wrapper.cgi?forumid=1&page=http://www.creativecow.net/magazine/cowmagsubscribe.html will get you a pdf by registering.
    Capturing in iMovie isn't the best either. If you capture with FCP, the DV codec used is optimized for FCP, and you'll find a much happier result.
    When you go to an new OS, don't 'upgrade' rather, reinstall it from the ground up... starting with a nice empty disk drive. FCP HD will run the best in 10.3.9 if you don't have a capture card, and in 10.3.8 if you do.

  • Final Cut pro doesn't play the frames

    My final cut pro doesn't play the frames in the application.
    The whole time it works great but at ones this happend.

    Couple of things to check and try.
    1) In Viewer Display options check to see whether Better Performance is checked in the Quality section. If not, check it and that should help you set real time playback with a slight reduction in quality in the Viewer. However, it will not have any affect on your project.
    2) If that doesn't work, consider generating Proxy files by eight clicking clips >Transcode Media. There is also a setting in Viewer Display Options to use Proxy in editing your project. Before you export the finished project, remember to change that setting  back to Original/Optimized.
    3) If that doesn't work, download a speed test and check the throughput of your media drive. It should be a separate drive from your start up disk and should be connected by Thunderbolt (fastest) USN3 (next fastest) or Firewire 800.

  • I have an academic version of Final Cut Studio on my laptop and recently purchased the most recent Full version of Final Cut Studio. Do I need to uninstall the academic version before installing the new version?

    I have an academic version of Final Cut Studio on my laptop and recently purchased the most recent Full version of Final Cut Studio. Do I need to uninstall the academic version before installing the new version? I ask because this is not an upgrade, but a completely new version.

    I'm with Jim on this.  It always seems to work out better if you do not install over another version.  You can use this app (freeware - thanks to Jon Chappel) to completely remove ALL Final Cut Studio apps and components: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
    Once that's done, install your newly purchased version.

  • I have purchased Final Cut Pro for my imac and now want to put it onto my macbook air so I can use it when away from my desk. How can I do this

    I have purchased Final Cut Pro for my imac and now want to put it onto my macbook air so I can use it when away from my desk. How can I do this

    I took away my backup disk with me so just took it from there excellent. I am back home at present working on my imac. When I go to use my macbook air on these projects (when away on boat) is it easiest to simply copy the Project and Events folders in total from my imac onto the other machine and do the same upon my return in reverse? I don't use icloud

  • Final Cut X 10.0.8 Keeps Crashing?

    It keeps crashing whenever i insert a game clip. I record with a HD PVR, video capture with EyeTV then import it into Final Cut, within five minutes the app crashes.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Final Cut Express HD 3.5 and Final Cut Pro Studio 5.1.1

    Hi,
    I have a client with both of these installed on the same machine (running 10.4.6).
    When they try and launch either application, the splash screen comes up, loading various filters, etc. then they get an error message:
    "File Error: A file of this name already exists" "OK"
    Clicking "OK" closes the app.
    Any idea:
    1. What the file in question is?
    2. Can it be deleted to let the app run?
    3. Can Final Cut Express HD 3.5 and Final Cut Pro Studio 5.1.1 be used on the same machine?
    I'll post this on the Final Cut Pro thread too (but with the order reversed).

    1. No idea.
    2. Depends what the file is.
    3. Yes. Though I've never tried to run them at the same time.

  • Final Cut Server is for video and photo archiving?

    Too many products in the last few years. I used to use iPhoto to archive both photos and video and edit them. Now I have moved to the professional line but it gets more confusing.
    Aperture2: archiving and cataloguing thousands of pictures with minor edits
    Adobe CS4: major edits to my pictures
    FCP6: video edit but with no archiving and/or metadata capability
    Final Cut Server: for what? Can it archive/metadata all my video and all my Aperture files and work
    seamlessly between all these four programs?
    Please help. I am considering buying Final Cut Server. I am both a photographer as well as a videographer running many different cameras over many different kinds of shoots. And I am trying to simplify my work process.
    Thanks,
    Brian

    We were in a similar situation as well.
    We use Adobe products for photo and desktop stuff
    and FCP Suite for video.
    We ingest images with Bridge and add keywords.
    The raw files are backed up and the corrected images
    are processed (Photoshop/Image Processor) and dropped
    into a Final Cut Server watch folder.
    This action automatically adds the files to FCS for
    easy access as well as backs up the images to an
    external FTP in our desktop publishing office across
    town. Desktop has its own version of FCS that adds
    the new files and makes them available for designers.
    When we shoot video we shoot mainly with Sony EX3
    camcorders with SxS media. Footage is downloaded
    and tagged in XDCAM Transfer. The folder that is
    labeled "Import" in the utility is also a watch
    folder which added the files to FCS.
    So in other words Final Cut Server has us organized
    and working together much better than we were before.

  • Hey, I have Final Cut Express 4.0.1 and a JVC everio camera, whenever i try to import my files to FCE via "Log and transfer", it just doesn't do anything, as if FCE doesn't know the camera is there, please help !

    Hey,
    I have Final Cut Express 4.0.1 and a JVC everio camera.
    Whenever i try to import my files to FCE via "Log and transfer", it just doesn't do anything, as if FCE doesn't know the camera is there,
    please help !

    FCE 4.0.1 can only capture DV/HDV which is produced by cameras using Mini-DV TAPES and cameras shooting AVCHD which is a high definition format.
    If your camera shoots standard definition on Memory Cards, DVDs or Hard Drives it will not work in FCE.
    What is your camera's exact model name and number?

    Are my current versions compatible with OS X Lion?
