Fcp crashes on opening fcp_project

Hi there,
I'm a new apple user. Here's my problem;
I work with fcs, as i was editing on my project I sent some clips to motion en soundtrack pro to do some adittional work. No problems so far. Yesterday i tried opening an audiotrack of a clip in it's editor(control+ click---"open in editor") I wasn't pleased with the sound and wanted do undo some actions. Weird enough i did'nt see a waveform in soundtrack pro, but could unclick some actions made earlier...so i did....saved the mofo and quit Soundtrack pro. Back in Final cut pro the app suddenly quit and frm that time of i am unable to start that project again. Every time i open fcp via that project it quits before opening. I tried some earlier versions in the autosave vault, I evenm coppied the project to an other hard drive and gave it another name. No luck so far.
Has anyone expierenced simmilar problems????
And more importantly how to fix this!
thank you.
ps. I'm unable to send a clip with stereo audio(audiotracks A1+A2 together)to soundtrack pro.
I can only send a mono audiotrack(audiotrack A1 OR A2)to soundtrack pro.
Does anyone know how to solve this.. or does this mean i have a conflict elswhere
thanks again
Eray

back again with an update.
I maunted my second internal HD back and left the external HD unmaunted. When i selected the fcp_project "from ****" with the date of 27 september it worked(off course media off line). Then i tried slowy opening files more recently saved. The closest I came was October 20th in wich 5 or so files were saved but 3 of them seem to be corrupt.
So what does thsi tell us....??
Do i Still need to check if i have corrupt media files?
Eray
ps. I maunted the external HD back on opened the project did a change saved it and could open it again.
Another change made is that scratch disk is set to systemHD due to unmaunt hd's earlier. could that have a part in this?

FCP crashes after opening. Says it's because DivX Pro Plug-in.

FCP crashes after openning. Says it's caused by DivX Decoder Plug-in. Need a solution to fix it.

It's a QuickTime codec. Finder searches don't look in system folders unless you tell them to do so (the + will give you options). But look first in the root of your main hard drive in /Library/Quicktime and also in your home directory in Library/Quicktime...

FCP Crash when opening log and transfer with some AVCHD footage on a card

Hi,
I'm using a freshly (re)installed version of FCP 7 on a brand new macbookpro loaded with 8gb ram and equipped with a small 2ghz Intel Core i7
I get footage shot on Panasonic ag-hmr10 minicams coming on SD cards as AVCHD footage. Sometimes the files are quite big, 17gb of compressed footage.
When I go to log and transfer, to convert the footage in apple prores, the l/t window opens, I see a preview of my footage, than the spinning beach ball of death shows up and FCP crashes every time. I've tried deleting the preferences and reinstalling the software. Still, it keeps crashing. Now the same file on a different computer equipped with FCP will be processed, slowly but surely.
Now I know I can work around this problem by going to toast as an encoder, but I want to fix this issue so I can operate from FCP. I've seen this problem posted before but never found any good solution.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried setting the L&T AVCHD audio conversion prefs to plain stereo?
Open the L&T window.
Click on the gear icon towards the upper center of the frame.
Select "Plain Stereo" For the AVCHD plugin.

FCP crashes, and opening and saving projects take too much time

Since my upgrade to FCP 5.0.4 I’m having trouble on several aspects of FCP.
I am using an Xserve raid storage, connected via fiberchannel to an Xserve with 10.4.4.
The editing computers are connected via fiberchannel and Xsan to the central storage.
FCP runs on an Apple G5, and my projects run from an external disk described as above. Al the other FCP scratch disk settings are also set on the external disks.
Example:
I’m using the FCP 5.0.4 with the multi-clip mode, and one of the consequences is, that my projects become relatively large. The larger they become, the longer it takes to open (up to 10 minutes) it and to save it (up to 2 minutes). Together with these problems, FCP crashes a lot.
I set my “auto-save” at an interval of 15 minutes, to prevent to loose a lot of work, but when it takes 2 minutes to “auto-save” each time, I loose a lot of time.
So when my project was 224 MB, I made a copy of my project, and opened it from a local drive. Opening the project took also 10 minutes. But when it was open, “saving” the project took only 15 seconds, instead of 2 minutes. The “auto-save” was still on the external scratch disk. “Auto-saving” still took 2 minutes. So I set the “auto-save” on a local scratch disk, and after that, it took only 15 seconds. Opening the project still took 10 minutes. And the FCP didn’t crash frequently.
My conclusion would be that the problems have something to do with the size of the project in combination with the connection with the external scratch disks. Is this correct? If yes, how do I solve this.
And if not, what else could it be?
Out of memory
Another problem occurred when my project was 327 MB. I had a multi-clip sequence of 100 minutes, with 4 camera angles and a lot of cuts and effects in it. When I tried to “nest” the sequence, it didn’t work and got the message: “out of memory” . Then FCP crashed.
When I opened the project again (it took 10 minutes), I could not save it anymore: ”out of memory”. So now I cannot work with this project anymore.
How do I solve this?
Is my project or sequence too big?
Another crash example
FCP crashed sometimes, when I switch my “Ëxternal Video” setting from “Blackmagic 8 bit” to “Firewire PAL”. Could this have something to do with it the problems I previously described?
Can anyone help me with these problems?
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I've run into a simliar problem and I believe I traced the issue down to the number of files on the drive. A drive I was using had over 600,000 files on it. Opening projects took 5+ minutes, saving took 2+, for a 15 minute simple project.
See if that is your issue.
Edit: 600,000 files on the scratch/capture disk.

FCP crashes when opening particular project file

I have one particular FCP project file that crashes each time I try to open it. I have read other threads and tried to follow their suggestions, but to no avail. I have tried opening it on different computers (both PowerPC and Intel), disconnecting hard drives (to keep media offline), creating a new user, etc. None of it works. The file will not even get to the "Preparing Video" stage before the spinning beach ball appears and FCP crashes. Thanks for your help! I have included the error message below:

Hi, thanks for the response. The project was actually finished in v2, but I wanted to open it in v7 as a reference. I don't want (and shouldn't) have to keep all previous versions of the software installed on my system so that I may be able to open project files. Most software programs I work with are backwards compatible or provide some means of upgrading files to newer format. Can you imagine how things would be if Word Doc format became unusable with each MS Word release? :-)
In this particular case, Pre7 shouldn't be crashing like it is. Ideally, it should recognize a previous version project file and either update it automatically or drop features no longer supported (with some message to the user or log file generated). The error message is ambiguous at best and pretty useless as it didn't really help in identifying the root cause of the problem. This is likely the result of some uncaught exception when the program parses the .prel project file and finds an element attribute it doesn't expect (version "3" instead of "4").

FCP crashes when opening with motion2 files rountrip

I have a new MacPro FCP 5.1.2 and Motion2.
After creating a motion project, importing into FCP, FCP crashes 3 times before it will open the project. upon exiting it asks if i would like to keep the new settings.
In FCP under video processing my settings were High Precision and best motion filtering quality. But even at 8bit YUV and normal, it still seems to crash FCP.
Any ideas?

FCP crashes on open but, OK if I trash the Final Cut Pro 6.0 Prefs.fcset

If I trash this FCP preference file: Final Cut Pro 6.0 Prefs.fcset
FCP opens everytime.
If I dont trash the old file, it crashes everytime.
So, Now, I have to recreate all my Favorite Affect filters and transitions all over?
I never had this problem until after upgrading to Snow Leopard.
I was able to fool it for a while by removing, reopening project, closing project and pasting my old Final Cut Pro 6.0 Prefs.fcset back in.
Now that wont work.
I really didnt want to have to recreate it all.

Now even after using a recreated FCP Preference file, FCP is still Crashing.

FCP Crashes at Open - Large Project - Help!

Near end of large 10 minute 24pa video. Total file size is about 60 to 70gb. FCP loads file - then crashes. I believe this started after use of motion for ending credit roll down. Tried trashing preferences, cleaned up main drive (now about 85 gb free, turned off external monitor and vtr. Below is first 10 lines of crash report. Major peoject - would really appreciate some help. Thanks.

I've never learned to read those logs, but it would appear that you might have an MPEG2 file in that project. If so, then QT is having trouble loading it.
I'd approach this just like any other failure to open a project. Take all the media offline and see if it opens. Assuming all the media is living on a separate volume from the volume where your FCP project file lives, Eject the media volume and try to open the project.
Please report back.

FCP crash when opening

For some reason I cannot get into FCP today, it crashes when I use the icon or try to open a FCP document. The only thing I've done since using the program yesturday was update security and iTunes software.

......and to do that properly you need to get 'SuperDuper'. Works for me. You can clone your entire startup disc using the free version. Buying a serial number for it will enable you to activate the program so that it just updates any changes to your cloned drive instead of having to redo the entire clone again. The price for the full version far outweighs the cost of your edit suite downtime while you're trying to fix startup disc problems. I think it's 30 bucks or something for the serial number.
But I won't make you repeat all that.

FCP crashing when opening photos in viewer

This is getting crazy, Final Cut will crash when I try to load a photo into the viewer canvas. Its doesn't happen everytime I open a picture, but enough to make it a real inconvenience and slowdown my workflow. Most of the pictures I use are .png and .jpg. It happens on all sizes and resolutions, and doesn't always crash on the same photo twice. I can bypass this by dragging directly into my timeline, but this shouldn't be necessary. Any ideas on this, everything is up to date on my system?

Crash upon opening Log and Capture

I'm working with a friend to solve her FCP problem. Everytime she opens the log and capture window FCP crashes. When she starts up FCP they are greeted with the DV NTSC Device is not connected message even if the camera is conected and on. Doing a refresh AV devices does nothing. iMovie recognizes the camera just fine and will control it and capture from the camera which is a Panasonic PV-GS500. I have had her trash her preferences, do an un-install and re-install and repair her permissions on the computer as well. What could be causing this? Does anybody else have any more suggestions?

A few questions back to you, Andrew.
Has this camcorder ever worked with her Mac & FCP in the past, or is this the first try hooking the two together?
Have you tried using a different firewire cable, and/or connecting the camera to a different Mac with FCP installed? Or, have you tried connecting a different camcorder to her Mac?
Does FCP crash when opening Log & Capture even if, in fact, nothing is connected?
A little info about the Mac might be useful, like which model is it, which version of the OS, Quicktime, and FCP are installed?
With my G4, an older OS and a previous version of FCP, sometimes the same thing would happen to me (FCP didn't recognize a camcorder was attached). Changing the startup sequence around usually did the trick -- like start the Mac, then plug in the firewire, turn on the camera, open FCP. Or, plug in firewire, turn on camera, turn on Mac, etc. etc.
MBP 17" w/max memory; and a souped-up G4 that's still useful Mac OS X (10.4.8) FCS, CS2 pkg

FCP Crashes when I try to open a project - just one project.

I even tried going to the Autosave Vault to open the latest saved file.
"Finder>Documents>Final Cut Pro Documents>Autosave Vault>Look for the folder with the project's name you are trying to open." Someone else had a similar issue and had success with that, but not me.
When I open the file it launches the latest FCP, but when it gets to 19% loaded FCP crashes and wants to report the error to Apple.
This file represents about one weeks worth of work, and FCP suddenly won't open this project anymore for some reason.
I made consistent backups, and even the backups won't work now.
How do people editing with FCP for a living survive if FCP does this??? This is unbelievable. If anyone can offer any ideas I would appreciate it.

Here's the first part of the crash log... (Let me know if the rest will help.)

FCP 7.0.3 crashes on open.

I'm Running Final Cut Pro 7.0.3, and it keeps crashing on open. (Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly) I went looking for the file "com.apple.finalcutpro.plist" in my prefs. folder but had no luck. Could anyone help?

FCP 6.02 Crashing when opening Project

Hi,
Going bananas trying to work out why a project I have been working on for 6months now causes FCP to crash when opening. I can open other projects fine, but when I try and open a project with all media offline I get the same issue.
All drives are external and I have space on both local and external disks.
I have tried opening the project from the autosave vault - which should work - to no avail.
I have now reinstalled Final Cut Studio 2 with no change to the above.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks Shane,
I was running all the latest apps - Qt 7.3, FCP6.02 OSX 10.411, did all the updates etc.
By erasing FCP and compressor I was able to get the project to open, but exporting through compressor kept crashing - which was an original fault that started happening before the project crash issue.
Not wanting to waste any more time I did a complete erase and re-install of my computer, and after spending close to half a day doing it I think it's been worth it - though I'm going through the testing phase - although as it stands the project has been loading and compressor has been working properly (will test more though).
I was using a couple of plugins that I downloaded from Apple's website: FX plugins manager of sorts, and I was using a filmic filter from that set which I think may have been corrupting the whole project.
I will keep testing though...

FCP crashes immediately after opening

I have been editing a movie for a couple of days. From time to time FCP stopped loading immediately after opening. Today FCP crashes immediately after opening ("...reading project" and stop), but now it refuses to open whatever I try. Some other movies open without problems. The recent movie is well saved. It's about 15 minutes, I work with FCP 3.5.1. Any suggestions?

Thanks for reacting so quickly. Unfortunately it didn't help. I trashed preference files, repaired disk permissions. The 'Kenstone' suggestion doesn't work because the movie does not open at all. All my other fcp movies open flawlessly, so the problem clearly is in the file, not in the app or the mac. I see no other way to reopen it (not accepted in imovie or QT). I back up all my projects on an external disc, but unfortunately only once a week. I'm afraid i have to restart the project from scratch.
