FCP Crashing when hitting L Key

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and am having an issue with my Final Cut. I've been using FCP for about 6 months now and have a good working knowledge of the software, but lack technical expertise about it. Recently, I started working at a TV station where we have 3 identical Mac Pro workstations. On one of the systems I've been having an issue where FCP crashes after I click in the timeline and hit the L key to play. I know the simple solution would be to use the space bar to play, but habits die hard. Unfortunately I also can't rely on just using the other two systems. This is a recent development and to my knowledge the previous user didn't have this issue. To my knowledge no one has updated any software or hardware drivers since I started using the computer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Start by deleting FCP's Preferences files. New ones will be created with default values, the next time you launch FCP.
For information on how to do this, see my post here:

Fcp crashed when it reaches the end of tape

When I 'capture now' HDV footage to FCP 6.0.3 using sony HDV firewire, FCP crashes when it reaches the end of the tape. Basically, I've been working around the problem by hitting 'esc' just before the end, but it sure is annoying. Anybody else? Any ideas?

Are you using Capture Now or are you logging your clips then Batch capturing?

Why would FCP crash when i click within the effect window?

Why would FCP crash when I click within the effect window?

I have an old system, but have not had this problem before.
It is a MAC G5 tower...

MAC OS X version 10.4.``
Quicktime 7.6.4

FCP crashes when launched

After the update to 10.4.6 FCP crashes when i try to open it..
Its happen to me before with the previous update but I found the fix was FCP rescue..
Now however FCP RESCUE is not solving the problem tried reinstalling and also manually deleting prefs..
If anyone knows of any other fixes I would love to hear from you..

So after installing the new update 10.4.6 FCP didnt not open..Normally FCP Rescue would do the job fixing this kind of problem but not in this case..
So my solution was to delete all files in the preferences folder and it worked right away..if you do not want to go to that extreme you could always try deleting the files that has something to do with FCP...but I dont have the patients for that especially after four days without FCP..
goodluck happy times Borat rules!

Adobe Camera Raw ACR crashes instantly when hitting accent key

I just lost several hours of work because ACR 8 with PS CC2014 crashes every time you hit the accent key ´ which is under to the Volume up and down keys on a German keyboard.
An error message says: "The command could not be completed because of a program error." See screenshot.
Is that a known bug?
Thank you
Marco
BTW: The ACR interface looks like it's from the nineties. How long will Adobe drag this through upgrades?

…<sigh !>…
Yes you are, Marco.
The Adobe Camera RAW window is a modal dialog box. All its tabs are modal dialog boxes.
All dialog boxes MUST close when the Escape key is pressed, or a key that somehow acts somewhat like the Escape key is pressed.
You cannot get around that, Marco. Sorry if that irritates you, but that is reality.
All we do here is try to help people and offer workarounds.
If you're prone to hitting that key too often accidentally, perhaps the workaround would be for you to disable it, either by re-mapping the offending software keyboard layout, or by physically removing or otherwise disabling it in your hardware keyboard.
If the Adobe Camera Raw Team determines it is an Apple OS bug in the mapping of that key on a German keyboard, I can guarantee you that it will be quite a while before Apple fixes that.
I am now assuming you're on a Mac because of the interface shown in your screen shot.
I understand you are frustrated, and I feel for you for having lost many hours of work for a momentary gesture of inattention, but so far you have not given any details whatsoever about your setup.

Bridge crashes when hitting spacebar to go into preview mode.

Hello there,
So, whenever i've been in Bridge for a little while and want to do a full preview mode by hitting the spacebar I get the dark grey screen and after awhile "the spinning beach ball of death" appears. This continues until I have to force quit Bridge. When I restart bridge and try to do a new preview right away the same problem occurs imeditly.
I've tried to delete all the preffs both manually and automatically by holding down the option key during start up, but nothing helps. I've also installed the latest updates.
I'm on a pretty new Macbook Pro 2.53 GHz Intel i5 bought this summer with a SSD harddrive and 4gb of RAM if that is of interest.
Am I way off if I think it could have to do with the graphics card?
Well I'm thankful if anybody has solution for this.
Best,
Per

Deleting prefs manually seems to be OK although I personal would not bother
about the last workspace
> I don't really understand this part you wrote.
"What setting do you generally have for Bridge preview, always high Quality
or on demand or embedded previews
In Bridge Path Bar top right there are two small checker board icons. The
left one is just a shortcut for prefer embedded previews that only let you
cache the thumbs. A quick way to view the content of a non cached folder and
have the option to glance through thumbnails without having the need to wait
for all the previews to be build.
The right one gives you 3 options, first prefer embedded (same as left icon
and in fact is double but there are still more strange things in Bridge
regarding to workflow I'm afraid...)
Second is High Quality on Demand meaning the HQ preview builds when you
select the file. Somewhat useful but time costly when having to click on
several files and every time have to wait for the building of the preview.
Third is Always HQ. This one I prefer to have set as default. It means that
you have to wait longer for all the previews to being build but this is only
once and after this you can browse freely through all the files.
Having set to also build monitor sized previews in the prefs means you also
have to wait a little longer once when the folder builds cache but this is
in the same go after file ingestion and after this you can use the space bar
almost without delay to see a full screen preview. (And I'm on a 30"" Apple
Cinema display using mostly files from a EOS 1Ds3, big files, big screen
When it comes to size it can be any size, either a large psd. file or a tiny
.jpg. And i have my max set to 1000mb.
With this setting files above 1000 MB don't build previews but that should
not cause trouble when hitting spacebar, it only shows the small thumb on a
full screen with gray background and surely should not let Bridge crash.
Try also system maintenance with check and repair permissions.
And if the problem still persist create a new user for testing, log in under
this new account and try if the problem is still there, just to rule out
your current user account as the culprit.

DSR11 Not Recognised. FCP Crashes When Log & Capture Selected.

I've recently had a quite traumatic period installing QT7 Pro to work with iDVD disk burning. During that period, FCP3 worked faultlessly. Succeeded at last with disk burning then shut down for the night. Next day went into FCP and found that my DSR11 was not being seen by it. Chose 'Continue' and tried to set things up through 'Easy Setup' in the usual way. Couldn't be done. Selected Log and Capture as a 'try' and FCP crashed, leaving me with the Desktop screen. Despite numerous attempts to create a connection with the DSR11, I always am getting the box telling me it cannot be found and giving the choice to try again or select 'Continue.'
I'm wondering if the QT settings were in some way corrupted as I shut down the computer.... I'd like some help in getting back the settings.
I downloaded the QT7 upgrade which afforded the correct running of FCP and iDVD disk burning but now I can't find any record of the prog and its key in order to re-install it. I looked in HD/Library/Receipts and could only find references to Flip4Mac and QT Packages - no QT references with numbers following. Since inplutting this post I've found that the last mentioned QT package is 7.2 so I tried reinstalling it but after going through the procedure it ends with a message that there were errors in the installation and that I should try reinstalling it again.... Well, after four attempts with the same result, I'm here, and on tenterhooks!
As an aftermention..... I also have used the DSR11 with my MacPro to successfully operate FCP in its normal way.
Ron.

On the Apple website it specifically states that QT7.2 with OSX.4.10 (actually any system of 10.3.9 and above) is the best way forward for the most efficient result from my computer. In view of that, I've recently used their Feedback page to pass the information to them. Yes, I know it states that one can only use it for feedback and they will not entertain other than that but we should have the abililty to put back to them the sort of quandary I'm in over their OS and allegedly compliant prog - ie QT7.2.
I've now taken the bull by the horns, because there's no other way I'm going to get satisfaction with Apple's software which should be capable as stated, and I'm about to re-install QT7 then try once again. That's despite not finding those additional Receipt files for scrapping prior to the install.
I'll report back the result when finished and tested. If it again fails, Apple will get an official complaint regarding their software that fails after being bought when their advertising says it improves rather than fails.
Thanks for your inputs.
Ron.

HELP! Why does FCP Crash when Batch Exporting Freeze Frames?

I have been Batch Exporting a lot of freeze frames recently but just last week FCP just started to crash when I tried exporting. It will let me export one single freeze frame but no batches. Also, when I open FCP now some of the freeze frames I have made looks what appear to be like green digital hits on them. I thought it was a space issue but I have plenty of room and I've taken out my FCP Preferences and nothing seems like it's working. I have final cut version 5.1.4 and the Error Message Reads: "The Batch Export failed for some items. Please review the status column to identify which items had errors." When I check the status it says "File Error: Unknown Folder" which I don't understand at all.
Any ideas?
Power Mac 10.4.10
Power Mac

Well it seems like it might be an OS or hardware problem rather than a FCP problem, however...
Have you installed Diskwarrior on your startup drive? If not, do it, and try launching it from your startup drive and then try running it on all other drives.
Describe your hardware configuration (you should really post all your system specs in your profile here). Can you change the batch export destination to another drive? Describe what your source material is, your sequence settings and the export settings. You might try changing your export settings.
This is not normal behavior and I'm sure we can solve this.

FCP Crashes when rendering or adjusting attributes of clip

For some reason Final Cut Pro 5 (latest version) crashes whenever I render a specific project. I tried doing a "save as.." and making a new fcp file, but the problem still persists in the project. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
PS: I tried FCP rescue and OnyX, with no luck.

hmm..I don't see why ram should cause Final Cut Pro to crash. When I import one of the .psd files in my project into new project if I double click on it, then FCP crashes! Here is a link to the project file:
http://salsunproductions.sitesled.com/video/ACMVIDEO/ACMPROMO4-fc3.fcp
I realize that you won't have the media files or some of the plug-ins (TMTS), but I would appreciated it if someone could see if it crashes for you. (highlight everything and under render selection check all of the colors, then hit command + r to begin rendering everything).

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 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 now crashes when importing h.264 (not intending to edit with it). was able to import it yesterday but not today. fcp seems to work fine otherwise.

All sorts of wierdness can happen with unsupported media.
Convert to one of the Pro Res flavors before you import. Either Log & Transfer if you have the card or a backup, or use Compressor, or MPEG Streamclip if you don't have evrything.
Good luck.

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 I Try to Log and Transfer

I just got a new iMac and installed a new copy of Final Cut Studio on it. I'm trying to transfer footage from my camera (Cannon Vixia HFM300) to Final Cut Pro via Log and Transfer. When I first tried, the thumbnails came up fine. I realized however that I had the wrong SD card, so I switched it. Now as soon as the Log and Transfer window comes up, FCP quits unexpectedly.
I've tried disconnecting the camera and restarting the computer. Log and Transfer comes up fine when the camera's not connected. But when it is, the Log and Transfer window comes up for a second or two only, and then FCP crashes.
I'm not sure what else to try. So any help will be much appreciated!

So heres a status update:
Someone suggested that I copy the files off the camera and onto the computer, then eject the camera, and try to Log and Transfer from the new folder.
I tried that and FCP isn't crashing now, so that's an improvement. But when I try to open the folder in the L&T window, I get the following error message:
Warning
'Folder Name' contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.
Any suggestions?

FCP crashes when I try to change sequence settings

In FCP 4 I opened a new sequence with one already open. When I tried to view the settings of the new sequence FCP crashed. Same thing every time I try.
Am I doing something wrong?

Hi,
Trash preferences to see if that fixes the problem.
Weird behavior is often caused by corrupted preferences.
Here is a link to an extremely simple application that can do that for you.
It won't affect your project or media.
