Can't Open Final Cut Pro file

Hello - I've been given an FCP file that I tried opening in my FCP 6.0.6 and it said "Files format too new for this version." So I assumed it was a FCP 7 file. So I downloaded free trial of FCP X to see if that would open it and it wouldn't either. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there a converter out there that will convert down to FCP 6? I paid for 7toX and it wouldn't read it either. THANKS!!!!

Thanks Gregory. I have read something similar. I was actually trying to see if there was some kind of converter out there that I could download that could make the XML file. Looks like I'll have to ask the person who created the file to send me a XML file. Thanks again!

FCE only works with DV for standard definition and the Apple Intermediate Codec for HD. Most FCP projects cannot be opened in FCE.

Can't Open Final Cut Pro X

I can't open Final Cut Pro X. The problem seemed to start when I deleted some old backups. Help?

Close FCP X and re-open holding the Option key.
This will allow you to create a new Library, do so.
If the newly created Library works OK then there is a corruption issue in the current one that doesn't open.
Try a backup, usually found in your Home>Movies folder.

Can Final Cut Express open Final Cut Pro files?

I am wishing to edit a Final Cut Pro file that is saved to a hard drive, but I olny have Final Cut Express. Will I be able to open the Pro file with Final Cut EXpress? If not, is there any way I could open the file?

I did this, as instructed, but when I got home to see if my FCE would open the file, it didn't even recognize it as a standard file. When I tried to force it, it just brought up an error message. I do have all the related media files on my drive. Anything I'm missing here? Thanks so much!

Can't open Final Cut Pro after the migration

I bought a new iMac (21.5 inch: 3.2 GHz) and migrated all the files from my old iMac, which I brought in 2006 or so. When I tried to open Final Cut Pro (Version 5.0.4), an error message shows up and says "Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly" and I can't even open the application. Here are the details. Can anyone help me fix this problem? Thanks.

Two problems
Never migrate a pro app.
In your case the underlying issue is v5 is not compatible with intel processors
The solution is to purchase the upgrade to the current version, erase your hard drive and install the system and pro apps fresh from the disks

Can't open Final Cut Pro anymore. HELP!!!

I can't open my Final Cut Pro. When I click to open it, a message comes up saying, "Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly." It tells me to click reopen to open the application, but every time I click reopen, the same message screen comes back. I can't open Final Cut. I need help.

I am having same exact problem.
It was working fine for years, and all of a sudden, after a Mac Os X Software Update it will NOT open, ( I think this may have caused the problem, however I am not sure)

Can't open Final Cut Pro

Can anyone help me resolve a problem with opening Final Cut. I get the message "The application Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly". I've tried using the FCP Rescue utility as well as tried to reinstall the software (though setup didn't give me an option to reinstall).
Is there a way I can uninstall the software without losing any files and reinstalling from scratch. Any suggestion would be helpful.
Thanks,
Commaleta

MichaelG's question of what shows up on the splash is important... maybe it's trying to load an AE plugin that isn't compatible -- find that one and remove it from the plugin folder...
however -- not sure this helps YOU at THIS time but...
Here's what I like to do (short of a full reinstall) when FCP crashes:
When FCP Quits...
Do these in order and you might not have to do them all:
1) Trash Preferences FCPRescue - http://fcprescue.andersholck.com/
2) Repair Permissions - DiskUtility
3) Type this in your terminal window (without the quotes) and hit enter: "sudo update_prebinding -root / -force"
4) Unplug everything and wait
5) Create New User
Good luck,

I can't open Final Cut Pro x after it crushed

I can't open anymore Final Cut Pro X after it crushed while I was editing footage for 10 minutes. Can you tell the reason and what could I do to resolve it?
Thank you

Maybe the Library or Project have become corrupt.
Hold down the option key as you launch FCP X and you should be given the choice of which Library to open.
Choose to create a new one.
If that doesn't work try these troubleshooting strategies.
Use this free app to trash the preferences. This should be the first thing you try when any problems occur.
         http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
2. With FCP X shutdown, hold down option key and select Go>Library>Application Support>Final Cut Pro . . . trash the Layouts Folder.
3. Open Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
4. Trash FCP X using this free app and reinstall it.
      http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
5. If these 3 measures don't work, create a new User Account (Admin) in System    Preferences and try running FCP X from that as it sometimes works miracles.

Can I open Final Cut Pro X Archives, Events or Projects in iMovie?

I did a trial version of FInal Cut Pro X for a month and imported some events, did some archiving and a couple of projects. I don't think I'll end up buying FCP X - at least not for now as Imovie seems to cover my needs. Is there a way for me to move these archives, events and/or projects to iMovie?

If you imported your media with transcoding or copy options, then you can recover those files from the Final Cut Events > EventName > Original Media folder (as long as they are not aliases to the originals.) If you archived originals on Import you can retreive your media from the archive (looks like a film "can") by right-clicking and selecting Show Package Contents (you should see basically the same layout as is on your memory card in your camera.) Just go in and drag them out, then trash the archive. Other than that, the data saved in the Final Cut Projects folder is pretty useless for any other app.

Can't Open Final Cut Pro 7

Hello All,
I've run into a glitch that I can't seem to get out of. I was having some timeline difficulties (playback freezing, etc.), so as I have in the past I closed FCP7 and trashed my preferences. When I went to reopen FCP7, I get to the Final Cut Pro loading window (the one that says "Licenced To:" and "Version:") and behind this window is the "Choose Setup" window. I can move the "Choose Setup" window, but I can not select any option or drop down menu on it. So that is where I am stuck.
I've searched, but can't seem to find what I am experiencing. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can solve this?
In adavnce, thank you for your input.
Regards,
Marc

Michael, et al,
Here is the scoop with my problem and how things seems to have gotten back to normal:
Firstly, one should always take step one and two in your troubleshooting tips (see Guinness solution). For me it was a couple of martinis, but it's best to step away from one's machine for a little bit and begin to think rationally (a difficut task for me since in my case there would be about 40 hours of editing plus Motion graphics to recover to where I was).
I disconnected both of my external hard drives and launched FCP7 with the same result, but this time I saw a Bias Soundsoap purchase advisory appear. This was a product I experimented with as a trial version some years ago, but never actually purchased (good product, but with Soundtrack Pro it was redundant). I remember deleting the application, but apparently I didn't do as complete of a job as I thought and some of the program's files were still installed on my system. I removed them via these instructions:
http://www.bias-inc.com/support/faq/cView.php?faq_id=59
After I connected my external firewire dirve that contains my FCP files, FCP7 launched correctly.
Thank you very much for your assistance with this. I used to follow these forums extensively when I was starting out, and your help reminded me why this is such an outstanding resource.
Regards,
Marc

I just installed Maverick on my Mac, now I can't open Final Cut Pro!

I just installed Maverick on my Mac. When I started Final Cut Pro, I got the message that probably it doesn't work with Maverick.
Before that moment it was also impossible to update Final Cut Pro. App Store directed me to Apple Menu looking for updates, and the Apple Menu directed me tot the App Store. Sounds familiar to someone?

The GM of Mavericks that I tried out shortly before Mavericks actually came out worked great with FCPX until I tried to import something into FCPX. The import window would open and then nothing. Wouldn't let me do or choose anything. Always had to force quit it. So, I'm a little hesitant to upgrade today.

I have some Final Cut Pro files that I created while working for someone else, if I buy Final Cut Express, will I be able to open and edit them?

Officially no. It may work, but you're rolling the dice. The newer the version of FCP the less likely it is to work.
