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
Andy

Apps quit when opening PLEASE HELP!!

about two days ago i tried to log onto microsoft messenger but when it was logging in it quit and came up with an error message and asking to send a report to apple. I also tried to log on to msn with aMSN and the same thing happened. then later that day when i open certian safari web pages (it normally happens on myspace) it just quits halfway through opening a page. now when ever i open safari it tries to load the homepage but quits.

JDeveloper 11.1.2.3 hangs when opening project from JDeveloper 11.1.1.6

Hello! I have a problem here which I can't solve. I also asked this question here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14365031/jdeveloper-11-1-2-3-hangs-when-opening-project-from-jdeveloper-11-1-1-6/14369211#14369211 . The whole story in short. I have a JavaEE client-server project in JDeveloper 11.1.1.6, where it works like a charm. Recently I had to upgrade JDeveloper version to the latest 11.1.2.3. The first problem was that the standard procedure of migrating project from the older version of JDeveloper to the newer one did not help: IDE was hanging forever all the time with no apparent (for me) reason, log file was silent about that. Then I tried another way: I just created the same project from the beginning and put there all necessary source files, libraries, set project properties etc. Still nothing, but now found the way to obtain a kind of error at least. I ran C:\Oracle\Middleware\jdeveloper\jdev\bin\jdev.exe from the command line and got the following (e.g. when I started running debug):
Jan 16, 2013 8:52:09 PM oracle.ideimpl.runner.StarterFactoryDescriptionImpl logError
SEVERE: Incorrect hash-structure value in starter-factory definition
Jan 16, 2013 8:52:10 PM oracle.ideimpl.runner.StarterFactoryDescriptionImpl logError
SEVERE: Incorrect hash-structure value in starter-factory definition
But I don't know what could be the next step... Could anyone help me? Thanks in advance for your attention!

Hi,
not sure if you have a support contract or work for Oracle. In both cases the best option is to file a bug (service request)

Dreamweaver CS3 quits when opening some .aspx files

Dreamweaver CS3 has begun suddenly quitting when opening some .aspx files - not all, just some. Other .aspx files open just fine. In most cases these files are virtually identical in every way from one to the next and still, one will open and the other will cause DW to crash. This problem just started about a week ago.
I have been running DWCS3 on the same Vista Ultimate machine for over 2 years now with Service Pack2 installed. Apart from these few .aspx files, the program is running as it always has... perfectly. Nothing has changed on the machine, nothing new is installed, and, as far as I know, no Windows updates have come through from MS.
I have tried bringing the files down from the remote server to see if my local copies were somehow corrupt but... same thing.
Any thoughts?

Frequent crashing when opening projects

10.5.8, LP 9.0.2, Mac Pro 8-core 6GB RAM
Logic frequently stalls/crashes when opening projects. This happens most often with projects that have lots of sampler instruments (primarily VSL), but some of the time with no samplers at all. The loading window generally hangs on Vienna Instruments with projects that have them, and on Space Designer with projects that don't.
The project this happens most frequently with is an orchestral template I'm creating. It has about 25 instances of Vienna Instruments (totalling 1.34GB worth of samples), a few channel EQs and one instance of Space Designer. Other projects that have caused the crash include about 10 native software instrument plugins, 1 Akoustic Piano and 10-15 native effect plugins. I consulted VSL tech support who said the problem was most likely with Logic. I'm inclined to agree, since the problem happens with and without any Vienna Instruments, and Vienna Ensemble Standalone has no problem loading templates with a lot of samples.
Does anyone have any suggestions to troubleshoot? Has anyone had similar experiences? Thanks.

Well, this has happened to me too. To the point where I've lost all the work, because Logic can't open the original project or the "crashed" copy it creates. Happened again with a new project I'm working on, albeit on a much more modest laptop system.
Annoying. Makes me think about switching DAWs...what else can you do if Logic can't be trusted.

Priemier Elements 12 pops up a error screen when opening project." No disc in drive E.Please insert

Priemier Elements 12 pops up a error screen when opening project." No disc in drive E.Please insert disc to continue." My DVD drives are F and D. What do I have to do to get rid of this error?

charkmapman
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on?
In versions of Premiere Elements earlier than 12, the answer for that type of "No disc" message was usually related to SmartSound/Sonicfire Pro 5 feature. But, there is no SmartSound/SonicfirePro 5 feature in version 12, only Music Scores without the SmartSound name.
Consequently, I would suggest an uninstall, do a ccleaner run through (regular cleaner and registry cleaner parts), reinstall.

FCP 5 quits when opening a project file

Hello...hope someone can help.
I have a project file that gets past all the plugins (I don't have any extras) and then quits when it starts loading. Other project files load fine.
I trashed my preferences, restarted in safe boot and repaired permissions through the Disk Utility program. I moved my media to another folder...and it still does it for this one project file.
Any ideas?
Thanks..

try creating a new user on your computer. Open the project file under that new user. If it won't open, you have a corrupted project file. I hope you have a back-up!

Strange newer FCP version error message when opening project

I'm working on a large (500+ hours) project that I have divided into seperate Final Cut projects so that I can load the sequences without waiting 10 minutes for the masterclips project to open. Lately, when I load the masterclips project it will give me an error message that says that it was made in a newer version of Final Cut. Then, when I restart FCP it will open fine. Does anybody know why it's doing this and how to fix the problem?
I have been copying a lot of media with media manager lately, it has crashed once or twice could that be part of the problem? Also, there are about 20,000 clips about 75% of them are online and they were captured in different capture projects so they are in different capture scratch folders. Is the fact that they are scattered a problem?

If you want, you could send me the project. I''ll
open it and do a save as and zap it back to you. You
should then be able to open it and do a reconnect.
May help. My email is in my profile. If it's too
big to email, you could bring it by my cutting room
(in times square). If you can email it, be sure and
archive the file before attaching to an email.
Thank You
I really appreciate the offer and I may still take you up on that, but can I get the same result by opening it on one of out other editing systems and doing a save as? The files are too big to email and Times Square is a bit far from where we are.
Will reconnecting all of the media to a copy of the project help FCP dealing with badly written meta data for clips that is causing corruption. Is that the idea?
Thanks again for your help.

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 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 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.
Tom

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 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.
