FCP 6 Sequence not opening, "out of memory"

Hi,
I'm running FCP 6.0.6 on a 2010 Macbook Pro with 8gb ram, 500gb int hd and 1tb ext hd. OS is 10.6.8. I don't see the canvas or timeline when I start FCP and when I click on sequence I get "error-out of memory". I have deleted all projects and everything I could find from old work. I used a ram checking program and checked disk permissions all seemed ok. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chris

#44:  FCP acting weird - Trash Prefs
Shane's Stock Answer #44:  FCP acting weird or unusual.  Just not like is normally should
If the program was working fine, and now isn't, or just isn't working the way it should, the first things to do are:
1)  Trash your FCP preferences.  Download the Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion:  http://www.digitalrebellion.com
2)  Open the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
3) Shut down for 10 min.  Go for a quick walk around the block and get SOME exercise today.  Come back, turn on the computer and see how things are.
4) (optional) Do the Hokey Pokey and turn your self about.  Results may vary.

  • [SSIS.Pipeline] Warning: Warning: Could not open global shared memory to communicate with performance DLL

    Hi All,
    I am running an SSIS solution that runs 5 packages in sequence.  Only one package fails because of the error:
    [SSIS.Pipeline] Warning: Warning: Could not open global shared memory to communicate with performance DLL; data flow performance counters are not available.  To resolve, run this package as an administrator, or on the system's console.
    I have added myself to the performance counters group. 
    I am running windows 7 with SSIS 2008.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.  I have read that some have disabled the warning, but I cannot figure out how to disable a warning. 
    Thanks.
    Ivan

    Hi Ivan,
    A package would not fail due the warning itself, speaking of which means the account executing it is not privileged to load the Perf counters, and should thus be safely ignored.
    To fix visit: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2496375/en-us
    So, the package either has an error or it actually runs.

  • SSIS.Pipeline : Warning: Could not open global shared memory to communicate with performance DLL

    I am getting the following warning for my SSIS08 package:
    Could not open global shared memory to communicate with performance DLL; data flow performance counters are not available.  To resolve, run this package as an administrator, or on the system's console.
    I did check Warning in SSIS 2008 , but didn't find any solution.
    The package processes data and executes fine , but why do I see this warning? When I run this package on my machine, I see no such warning, it's only when I deploy it to our DEV SSIS server, I get this warning.

    You have to include the account you use to execute the package in the performance counters group.

  • Sequence not Opening: File not found and Out of Memory Error Message

    Hello
    Attempting to open sequence in FC gives me the error: File not found.
    Clicking on okay in the message gives another error: Out of Memory.
    Final Cut Pro version is 6.02
    Anybody have a solution on how to get this sequence working again?
    Thanks

    Project itself opens fine.
    Can a sequence file with in a project become corrupted?
    Luckily, I always make duplicate of the sequence I'm working on at the start of the day. And I save often when I'm working.
    The earlier duplicated version of the sequence works, so not everything is lost.
    Unfortunately the auto save was disabled in my profile, back on it goes.
    I was wondering if this has happened to anyone before and that if there is a fix - if it is not a corrupted file?

  • Operation not allowed , Out of Memory

    Hey everyone.
    I opened an FCP project one day and opened a sequence and got a dialog that says "Operation not Allowed", followed by "Out of Memory."
    I can't open the sequence anymore.
    I am running latest FCP with mac book pro intel core2 duo. I've got 2 GB ram and had nothing else open so I don't think it's the memory.
    Anyone know a fix for this?
    Help because I lost ALL my work!!!

    I've seen this message when opening projects with clips using unsupported codecs such as Avid Meridien. You might be able to take the media drive offline temporarily to get eh project open, and sort the browser by compressor to check for different or missing codecs. Usually you can find these online and place the in the /Liibrary/QuickTime/ folder.
    Hope this helps -

  • Faild to save sequence file. Out of memory

    I need to write several arrays to my report file. This works fine for a couple of times, but when I add to many steps I get the message "Failed to save sequence file xxx.seq. Out of memory" from the Sequence Editor.
    I found the "CustomActionStep" on this board and modyfied it to handle two arrays.
    Any ideas to why this happens?

    Hi misa37,
    I have run your sequence file several times, but I am unable to reproduce the same error message.  I opened the sequence in TestStand 4.1, added 6 copied steps to the ones already present.  My computer has 2 GB of RAM, with 20GB free of hard disk space.
    If you open the task manager while the code executes is there a noticeable CPU spike or rise as the code executes?  Have you tested this code on a different computer that has more RAM?  What version of TestStand are you using?

  • FCE emergency - corrupt sequence not opening

    Hi
    I've spent all day on a sequence. I then imported a project from iMovie, which was simply exported at 'Full Quality', but there were audio issues (audio fades not recognised).
    I tried importing the iMovie session and got a series of folders, with files in referring to the film. I tried to drag a file from one of these folders to the FCE timeline - this seems to have corrupted the sequence. The sequence will no longer load properly, giving me a 'general error' (a bit like George Bush's 'general threats') and then adding an 'out of memory' warning.
    What on earth has happened to my sequence?
    If anyone can come to the rescue, I'd be really appreciative.

    Nope - there is NO connection or continuity between iMovie and FCE.
    They are two different programs working in entirely different ways.
    The fact that it is (just) possible to swop files between them is merely a bonus and should not be done as a regular procedure.
    Ian.

  • FCP files will not open

    I have FCP files that were created by a co-worker. I have them on a jump drive but for some reason they will not open on my computer in FCP. I'm using fcp 5 I'm not sure if my co-worker is using fcp 6. I plan to ask but they are out for the week and i can't get them.

    I had that same inclination, however, does that matter when it comes down to raw footage that was just uploaded into a particular version of final cut. I know that if she is using 6 and I'm using 5 then we have a problem, but i was unaware that the hardware would make a difference. Thanks for the response, you have been helpful

  • FCP & other programs not opening when plug in Firewire

    Hello,
    First, please forgive the double posting - but I just didn't think that I had made myself very clear lastnight, and I wanted to rectify that.
    The problem is, that whenever I plug my camera/deck into my G5 with my firewire, no program will open, including Final Cut. I tried Repairing Permissions, and shutting down and unplugging everything, then powering back up again. Then, I turn on the camera and try opening any program, even Disk Utility, and it will not open (giving me the spinning beach ball) until I turn the camera off. This is making things very difficult, especially since I have projects in Final Cut, that I need to Print to Video, view on my tv monitor, or do anything at all.
    I might add that this has indeed worked before, and after some 'futzing' w/it, it would work, but I had been 'futzing' for over 2 hrs., and have lost way too much time. In addition, in order to Log and Capture, I've been 'daisy chaining', using my Dazzle, as well as the camera w/the tv, but, it does not work the other way around, when trying to export -- thanks very much!

    In response to: "Has the dazzle and the camera ever been connected to the computer at the same time?" and, "Have they both been turned on while both connected at the same time"?
    No, they cannot be connected at the same time - I only have 2 firewire ports, one is for the Lacie external drive, the other is for either the Dazzle or Firewire. I unpluged the Dazzle to make way for the Firewire lastnight, because I wanted to Print to Video, and could not, because no program would open up, w/the Firewire plugged in.
    I will try resetting the PMU, thanks. Not sure how the camera could be the suspect, as it used to work just fine, and it's less than 2 yrs. old, but will take into consideration.
    "(You have taken any hard drive out of the chain while you are troubleshooting - right?)" When I shut everything down lastnight, I unplugged everything, including the Lacie, then plugged everything back in, is that what you mean? Thanks Studio X.

  • FCP 7 will not open

    Any reason FCP 7 Academic would not open on a MacBook after apparently installing as usual from DVDs, legal and all, with appropriate serial numbers, etc.?

    There are certain procedures needed to have both FCP-7 and FCP-X installed on the same machine.
    Here is Apple's best practices guide:
    Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5, Compressor 4: Installation best practices - Apple Support
    Look about halfway down the page and you'll see the portion about installing FCP-7 on a machine with FCP-X already there.
    Also, I would trash your FCP=7 prefs and see if that helps. It is the usual first step when FCP-7 begins to act unexpectedly.
    Download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manger (free) and it will do the heavy lifting for you:

  • FCP 7 will NOT open with my brand new Retina MacBook Pro, any ideas?

    I got my brand new retina-display macbook pro in the mail today. I installed Final Cut Studio 3, with dmg file I made from original disk, right serial numbers etc. Upgraded to 7.0.3 through the software update.
    Final Cut opened once (which was fine) and I realized I had to install magic bullet looks to keep working on a project I had been working on.
    After I did so FCP would not open. Thinking this was the problem, I completely uninstalled all plugins using Red Giants official uninstall app. I also deleted the Boris continuum plugins lots of people say is a problem in Mountain Lion with FCP startup issues.
    I then used FCS remover to completely remove the entire suite and restarted, emptied the trash etc for a clean slate.
    Upon reinstalling, Final Cut will not open. The startup screen shows up, goes through profiling for RT extreme etc and then closes and the icon disappears from the dock. Everything else opens, motion, compressor, dvd studio pro. Everything is fine except for Final Cut. I have trashed preferences and reinstalled numberous times and triple checked there are no rogue plugins lying around. Nothing seems to work. The only thing I haven't tried is restoring the machine to factory settings and starting from scratch.
    This is incredibly frustrating, does anyone have any insight?
    Thanks.

    Thanks David. I wiped the machine and rinstalled Lion and started from scratch again which was a bummer but worked. I feel like the earlier plugins I installed had something to do with it.

  • FCP 4.5 Not opening on new G5

    I just recently bought a new 2.0 GHz G5 PowerMac straight from Apple. The hard drive and RAM were upgraded, and Bluetooth was installed. I installed FCP 4.5 (From an Academic Production Suite package) and the application will not open. An error message pops up saying that the FCP needs an AGP Graphics card. I've looked for an update for FCP perhaps to accomodate the graphics card in the G5 to no avail.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Corp. Simmons

  • FCP 7 sequence not transfering to external hard drive with media manager

    Ok so heres the problem. I started making a bunch of webisodes and after I got through editing and finishing the first two on my computer, I realized while I was working on the third one I would need to transfer my workflow to an external hard drive.
    My goal was to transfer all the projects individualy with media manager to a 1.5tb external hard drive I just purchased and then delete all the projects and associated files off my computer. Then set the new scratch bin to the hard drive and continue working on the third episode from the hard drive.
    However, thank god when I used media manager I said "copy" the files. I opened the project I had copied in the hard drive to see if it was all there and there was no sequence with all my editing! I'm not sure why it didn't import the sequence. All the clips are still I the project tab.
    Can anybody help?      Am I doing this right?
    Thanks!

    The information for the Sequence is contained in the .fcp project file that should be in the same folder as your Media Managed clips. Double click it to open the new version.

  • FCP 6 Will not open on one Account

    This one is strange to me. I have a Mac Book Pro. I use it in teaching my digital film class. Different groups of students use it different periods. Final Cut opens fine on two user accounts, mine, and another classes. However, on one of the accounts FCP 6 opens to the splash screen, gives me the warning that a device is not connected and then just closes.
    FCP was opening on that account yesterday, and now it does not. I have reset the Ram for the machine- But am at a loss of even researching this issue.
    Please advise-
    Thank you

    When FCP runs on one account but not another on the same machine, it is a sure sign of corrupted USER preferences for that application. The best way to deal with the corrupted prefs is to use FCP Rescue (Andy has already provided the link.)
    Once you've downloaded the correct version, with FCP not running, open FCP Rescue and TRASH the prefs. When you launch FCP again, you will need to reset things like scratch disks and any other custom user settings.
    Once you have things the way you like them, use FCP Rescue to save them. If you have problems again, simply restore the settings and the corrupted ones are overwritten by your saved prefs.
    good luck.
