FCP quits when move within timeline

Hi everybody,
I am experiencing something unsual with a rather big project (1h20 mn right now) using many different imported clips and pictures.
When I move the cursor from the end to the begining of the timeline, I noticed that FCP will quit with a message telling me that it quits unexpectedly.
When it dies so, I trash preferences, but as soon as I do it again, I get the same problem.
Could it be because of the size of the project ? Am I going to fast from onepoint to the other ? or is it something else ?
There is plenty of room on the disk.
Thanks in advance
I am using FCP4.5

General stability problems sounds like...
How much RAM do you have installed? When you upgraded
to Tiger, did you perform a totally clean install, or
just run the "upgrade" install? (bad idea)...
Hi jerry...
RAM is 1 Go, Tiger installed from totally cleaned hard disk
Large numbers of edits in projects can result in
instability if there is not enough RAM to help out,
but if the install of Tiger wasn't performed as a
clean install, and reinstall of software, that too
can result in instability issues. Further, Tiger uses
more system resources than Panther or Jaguar, and
this might just push your RAM too hard running FCP
with many edit sequences and cause the crash...If you
have less than a gig of RAM I suspect this is or is
part of the problem.
Corrupt media can also cause this, so be sure that's
not the problem. Only way to tell is to temporarily
take it offline. and reconnect a few clips at a time
to see if there's a crash of some sort when you hit
the bad media. Also keep all media OFF your startup
disk. This results in problems as well. A firewire
drive should do the job for you if the media is on
your internal disk on the PB... it's a must really
too.
All clips originate from DVDs made up from shootage made by myself on my video camera.
I had them on external disk and imported them, one by one on the hard disk of my PWB for making of the project

FCP quits when exporting ref movie or self contained

This one has be pulling my hair out. When I try to export an hour long project, FCP quits about half way in. Doesn't seem to matter if it is a ref movie or self contained. I get the unexpectedly quit window. I have no idea how to fix this. It is extremely frustrating. Any ideas?
Best.

Don't use an XDCAM sequence setting. Mixing that format with ANY OTHER FORMAT causes issues. I have had 3 jobs in the last 2 weeks that were HDV and XDCAM, and when they were in their native timeline settings, with other footage and graphics mixed in, I had HORRID times exporting and outputting. The solution? Changing the sequence compressor to ProRes, and rendering again. Then the projects exported fine.
So my rule #1 when dealing with HDV or XDCAM, is to edit in a ProRes sequence...all the time. No matter what. Dealing with GOP native, when you add other things like stills or other footage, is cause for nightmare issues. That GOP format is just too whacky to deal with.

FCP - Quits when using pen tool to enter nodes in the motion tab

Hi all.
I'm encountering a persistent problem with FCP unexpectedly quitting on both version 4.5HD and version 5. The problem occurs when I open a clip from the timeline in the viewer and access the motion tab to adjust the scale of a clip or the position of a clip with the pen tool. I can enter four nodes successfully with no problems, but if I then go back to the clip or open a new one, I can enter maybe three nodes maximum before they cease to register, then the beachball appears for half a second and FCP quits with the "unexpected" message.
This problem occurs across all machines whether I'm running FCP by itself or with other applications running in the background. I am using 10.4.6 on my laptop (iBook G4 with 1GB of RAM and FCP 4.5HD), 10.3.9 and FCP 4.5HD on an eMac, 10.4.6 and FCP Studio 5.0.4 on a G4 Tower ...
Has anyone experienced a similar problem, and does anyone have any thoughts on causes/fixes for it?
Thanks for reading.

Hi John,
Thanks. I figured it out so there’s no need.

FCP quits when opening project

Hi all, I have been running FCP 5.1.1 for a while now, never had a problem. Been working on an on-going project that always took a few extra seconds to read and load. Well last night I digitized about 2 more hours of video to the project, did a few edits on the timeline and saved and closed. No problems that I could see. Now today when I go to open the project, I get the "Reading Project" box, and at 43%, FCP just closes, "FCP Quit Unexpectedly". I click "try again", same thing happens. Anybody have any ideas? Is there a limit to how much a project can handle? Thanks!

hi Joe
this is not uncommon behaviour if and when a sorce clip becoms corrupted.
if that is the case, what you can do is disconnect the media drive and then launch FCP. it should open up fine but all the media will be offline.
now you can reconnect the media drive and relink the media, but take care in this last step, relink the media in blocks, making a mental note of which clips you are reconnecting each time ... eventually you will get the error, which tells you that it is one of those last blaock of clips that has become corrupted.
when you discover the corrupt clip you can relink all the others and recapture the corrupted one from source.
hope that helps

FCP quits when making round trip to motion

When I try to make to make the round trip with one or more clips to motion(using "sendto" and with "embed" ticked on), everything seems to work fine, but when I save the motion project and quit motion FCP just quits "unexpectedly".
When I then restart FCP, I can import the saved motion project, but as soon as I try to play it in the viewer, or I drop it in the timeline, FCP quits again...
Any advice ?

You'd be answering your own question.
The workflow for colorgrade has evolved over the last twenty or so years (in video) and over the last better part of a century in film as the final step, after everything was LOCKED. Its kind of why this application was first named "Final Touch".... well, it was sort of a clever reference to "Final Cut"... but... we know how that worked out.
It would be a bit misleading to conceptualize COLOR as a kind of really fancy 3-way, but the fact remains that as an external application, it creates all new media, independent in most ways from the original sources. We can understand that as an extension of the workflow from the days of linear tape-to-tape, when an entirely new, "Color-Correct" Master was created. Some flexibility can be built in to the return trip with the use of handles... but it can also turn into a whole other can'o'worms. Keyframed stuff can get out of sync.... etc.

FCP quits when importing pics

Doing a project with lots of yearbook pics, and about half the time FCP "unexpectedly quits" when importing these pics. They're regular jpegs, no noticeable pattern, so I now transfer pics to desktop and do it from there. Best way is to set all material in media as a few of you told me, but I'm too far into this project and it's almost done. Any ideas as to why FCP quits would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure all your jpegs are RGB and not CMYK.

Mail Unexpectingly quits when printing within Mail

When using my G4 and printing an email within Mail, the Mail program unexpectingly quits while the printing is taking place. This happens a couple times a day, but not every time I print in Mail. This problem has existed for a couple months now.

I had Mail offline. Printed and it crashed. Here is the report:

FCP quits when DV deck turned on

Dear all,
Out of the blue, my FCP has begun to quit on me repeatedly. I think I have narrowed the circumstances down to it happening once I swtich on my DV deck (Sony M15 attached by Firewire).
The FCP/deck combination has worked fine for the 4 months I have had the deck but not now! I cannot think of anything I did just before the problem started except perhaps installing a Digital Heaven Plug-ins for a Grid overlay but I have since deleted that.
If anyone can help, I would be most grateful.
Cheers,

I hate sound pedantic, but this is basic stuff.
Also found easily by searching the internet and these boards.

But the real issue is Rosetta and why you starting a project on Intel hardware without the proper software.
If you are not much into this project, you might want to start over with the correct application version

FCE Quits when using timeline !

Hi,
Final Cut Express (2.0.3) always quits when using the timeline to scroll in the movie or inside clips. If I use "shift + arrows" it's ok, but I'd prefer being able of using the timeline to "travel" trough the film !
I've tried thrashing preferences, reinstalling Quicktime : it doesn't work better.
Can you help ?
Thanks,
Thomas.

Hi
I meant : I click on the timeline then move the mouse, and it quits.
Like I said, I already tried to trash preferences...
Thanks anyway...
Once, I read a post indicating how to properly uninstall Quicktime to reinstall from the downloaded installer... But I can't find this post again.

I am really having a horrible time when trying to do our Church announcements in FCP X. When I try to take a clip from the event to the timeline my clips expanded and my timeline zoom level does not stay in the original place. Help

I am really having a horrible time when trying to do our Church announcements in FCP X. When I try to take a clip from the event to the timeline my clips expanded and my timeline zoom level does not stay in the original place it moves to the right and is max out which makes every clip that I bring to the timeline expanded.

What format etc. are the video clips and what were they shot on?
Before you do anything else, trash the preferences with this free app:-

Why Does Imovie Quit When I Export A Movie?

When I attempt to export my finished movie as a file and save it to my desktop, the file export process goes for quite a while - usually at least an hour - and then crashes.
Imovie exits, and the error message tells me "Imovie quit unexpectedly."
I'm exporting in 720P.

Hey there RusticBohemian,
It sounds ike you are trying to esxport or share your project but it is quitting when you try. I found the following article to help you troubleshoot or isolate the issue:
iMovie: How to troubleshoot "Application Unexpectedly Quit" messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3143
1) Verify your software is up to date by running Software Update.
The updates necessary to resolve the issue are those relating to QuickTime, iLife, iMovie and Mac OS X. If any of these updates are available, install the updates. After you install the updates, run Software Update again to verify there are no more updates for that application available.
2) Disable non-essential QuickTime components.
Navigate to /Library/QuickTime/ for a list of components currently installed.
Temporarily disable any components that are not in the list below. You can disable the components by moving them to the Desktop or another folder outside of the /Library/QuickTime/ folder.
Open iMovie and see if the issue is resolved. If iMovie no longer unexpectedly quits, check to see if an updated component is available, or contact the developer of the component for further recommendations.
iMovie uses the following components, and should be left in the QuickTime folder:
AppleIntermediateCodec.component
AppleMPEG2Codec.component
Note: There may also be a similar folder at ~/Library/QuickTime/ depending on the components you have installed. If this folder is available on your Mac, remove any components as instructed in step 2. Both of these locations hold QuickTime components. The components help you encode or decode different types of multimedia content.
3) For iMovie 6 or earlier, try disabling iMovie components provided by manufacturers other than Apple. Start by quitting iMovie 6. Navigate to ~/Library/QuickTime/ and /Library/QuickTime/ and use steps 2 and 3, under "Disable non-essential QuickTime components," to determine what components to disable.
4) Check the Knowledge Base.
Search Apple's Knowledge Base for further recommendations. You can use search strings such as "iMovie unexpectedly quit" to locate new or updated articles describing specific iMovie scenarios and possible resolutions.
5) Run Apple Hardware Test and Disk Utility
If you are experiencing unexpected behavior in other applications, check your hardware by using Apple Hardware Test. You can also test your hard disks using the Verify and Repair functions of Disk Utility.
Note: If the issue only occurs when importing footage from a camera or device known to work with iMovie, consult the articles "iMovie '08: Cannot see or control camera" and "iMovie 6 or earlier: Cannot see or control camera" for additional recommendations.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Why do I get "not connected to Internet " when I try to move within a website?

I am using Verizon hotspot to connect my laptop with internet. Never had problems until IOS 8 came out. My laptop is XP but I don't want a new computer yet! Since I downloaded 8 on my phone my laptop does not work properly! I can get on various websites, but when I try to move within the website I receive on a large screen "no internet connection" but I am still connected to the internet. When I use my computer on a free wifi service I don't have this problem. What is going on? Help Me Please!!!

My Movie project (timeline) disappears when I try to create a new one

Hey guys,
I'm pretty new to iMovie so apologies if I'm missing something here;
I created a new Event. Within that Event I imported video, music and images and then dragged them to the Timeline & created a new "Movie".
If I create a 2nd new Movie within that Event, it deletes the Timeline of the 1st Movie.
If I take a different approach and create an entirely new Event, it still seems to have the Movie Timeline from my other Event in it!
Is this normal?
I am a little confused about the way iMovie organises Events & Movies, etc. I take it "Events" are like folders and "Movies" are like projects within those folders..?

FCP quits without reason when i try to log clips

I have a brand new Mac Pro with a 2.66 Quad Core processor, 6 gb of ram, the latest OS (10.6.2) and i'm having trouble getting Final Cut Pro to work propperly. It runs very slowly every time i try to edit h.264, and when i try to log any clip, FCP quits without reason. My software is original, it is the Studio pro 2 (Final Cut Pro 6.0.6) Does anyones knows what is wrong or what could it be?

OK - it is possible that you do not have a fast enough Hard Drive Capture Scratch location to handle uncompressed capture. You may need to setup a RAID if you do not have that already. I saw that you have a Mac Pro, so you could set two or three drives up as a RAID if you want, or employ an external FW800 RAID.
If this isn't your problem, or if you already know this, than maybe you should either trash your "preferences", or look at un-checking "Abort capture on dropped frame" in the "General" tab of User Preferences.
I hope this is helpful Chikimi. -s
