FCPX not responding when creating new project

My FCPX isn't responding when I'm trying to create and edit a new project. I can create a new event, import a video in but if I try to play it or create a new project to drop it into it stops responding and all I see is the beachball twirling. I need suggestions and fast. Already erased FCP preferences, did the purge script and repaired disk permissions in case it was a RAM issue. No other programs seem to be having an issue.. and I've been using FCPX just fine for 8 months..HELP
Final Cut Pro X, Mac OS X (10.8.5)

Try these general troubleshooting strategies.
Use this free app to trash the preferences even if you have already done it. This should be the first thing you try when any problems occur.
         http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
Shutdown FCP X before you do it.
2.  Trash Layouts folder. With FCP X shutdown, hold down option key and select Go>Library>Application Support>Final Cut Pro  .  .  .  trash the Layouts Folder.
  3. Open Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
  4. Trash FCP X using this free app and reinstall it.

  5. If these 4 measures don't work, create a new User Account (Admin) in System    Preferences and try running FCP X from that as it sometimes works miracles.

  • It's not responding when opening new projects

    My FCPX isn't responding when I'm trying to create and edit a new project. I just bought this tonight and it's giving me the beach ball and not responding. What is going on?

  • BUG:  Advanced Actions duplicated when creating NEW PROJECTS FROM TEMPLATE using Adobe Captivate 8.

    Need:  CREATE NEW PROJECTS FROM TEMPLATE using Adobe Captivate 8. 
    Problem:  NEW PROJECT (.cptx) duplicates the Advanced Actions originally configured within TEMPLATE FILE (.cpt.).
    For example: Template file (.cptl) advanced action "_initializeModule" gets duplicated as "_initializeModule1", "_initializeModule2", "_initializeModule3" within NEW PROJECT.  FYI, the original "_initializeModule" advanced action still appears.
    MAJOR BUG, what the heck is going on?!?!!!  Planning to deploy this template file to use for multiple courses with multiple users, this WILL cause epic confusion across the board.

    Similar problem, think they are working on it as well: when dragging a shared action from an external library to a slide or object event, and that action is using a parameter that was already created for another shared action, there will be a new parameter created which really screws up the shared action contrary to this problem. Tip: for the moment do not drag shared actions from an external library immediately to an event, but drag them first to the Library: Reuse Shared Actions in other Projects - Captivate 7 vs. 8 - Captivate blog

  • "Multiple Validation errors" message when creating new project in   FCPX

    As a test I have now managed to change the file format from older quicktime file to .m4v and  import into FCPX.  I had to use Handbrake to change the file format to .m4v. If a free software can do this then why can't the $300 FCPX - and allow me to import directly?  This would save me MANY hours of extra work!
    But then, when I try and edit this - first trying to create a new project  I get the message "Multiple validation errors occurred"  The same message even if I try and custon settings rather than use the default
    Does this mean that after all the work and hours it took me to tarnscode the file format, import and then render etc - I will be unable to use FCPX - to edit this footage?

    Update on trying to create a new project - and getting "Multiple Validation errors" message
    I quit FCPX and tried to use iMovie to make a clip to send to you.  Decided against this - and so I opened FCPX again
    To my surprise there were now over ten projects - as every attempy had appeared!  This is bizarre - why did they not show up when I tried to create them first? 
    So, I had to delet most and just use one.  This appears to be working as a project and is allowing me to edit clips into it.
    It will be a reall bummer though if I have to do this every time I need to create a new project!

  • Outlook 2013 not responding when creating a new email item in Windows 8

    This issue occurs intermittently. No add-ins are running. No anti-virus programs are running. Outlook does not respond and it must be restarted. This issue also affects reply email items and forwarding email items as well.

    Hi,
    Which type of email account are you using? POP3, IMAP or Exchange?
    If you are using a POP3 email account with an Exchange server account configured in the same profile, this issue may happen because the
    delivery folder selection is corrupt and you are referencing a nonexistent folder. To fix it, in Outlook 2013, click on the File tab >
    Info > Account Settings > Account Settings > Highlight your POP account, then click Change Folder. Select a proper folder to deliver to. For more information, please refer:
    http://www.slipstick.com/problems/outlook-crashes-when-you-reply-or-create-a-new-message/
    If above didn't apply, please follow the steps in the KB article below to troubleshoot the issue:

  • Imovie freezing when creating new project?

    My imovie app- seems to be freezing the loading icon won't go away - all other functions seem to be working but when I create a new movie and add a movie clip- it starts to freeze and the pop up new movie window just keeps on coming back up when I try to add a clip. Then it just does not respond to any prompts and I have to force quit.  I also did delete a few projects earlier to free up space & it just seems like all the projects have been deleted.  I tried restarting but that did not work. Any suggestions?

    Have you tried deleting iMovie preferences? Home-library-preferences-com.apple.iMoviepref

  • VS 2013 - Settings lost when creating new project

    I am having this is odd issue with my VS 2013 settings.  I setup VS 2013 with all my custom settings and colors.  I can open and existing project and my settings with be there.  If I create a new project all my settings are gone.  I
    backed them up so I can import them and everything looks correct again.  Is there something I need to do to make the settings permanent?

    Thanks for Kulasangar's help.
    Hi heffer86,
    Like Kulasangar's suggestion, the real issue would be related to how you custom settings and colors in your VS IDE. For example, generally some settings under TOOLS->Options->font and Color or color theme like the following screen shot in
    VS IDE, it would be saved to your current VS settings file, so it still have the same feature if you create a new project with the same settings.
    But certain settings just were used for your current projects, I mean that they are not saved to your current VS settings file. So it would change to the previous settings if you create a new project. So you would check the
    real settings file and make sure that which settings are saved to this file.
    Or you didn't enable the settings when you export the settings file, so it would have this issue when you use this settings file next time.
    Best Regards,
    Jack

    I had the same issue then I found out all you have to do is to set the default view to List before opening any previous or new project and it worked, credit goes to this user below who found the solution.

    I was able to resolve by workaround:
    1. Closed all open applications
    2. relaunch Finder
    3. run  sudo find / -name ".DS_Store"  -exec rm {} \;
    4. this removes all  .DS_Store old files on the computer
    5. launch finder and set default view to "LIST VIEW" as shown here:http://macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/ss/Setting-Finder-Views-For-Folders-And-Su b-Folders_2.htm
    5. rerun the offending application and file chooser works

  • Photoshop CS4  shuts down only when creating new project.

    I've had CS4 web premium since nov. 08 and everything worked fine until the most recent update from adobe.
    I ONLY have this problem with Photoshop cs4: when creating a new project after selecting the aspects (name, width, hight, etc.) when you press ok it shuts down and no error is given as to why it shut down, it just does.
    opening documents that had been created prior to the last update isn't a problem, I'm able to do everything Photoshop cs4 has to offer.
    I can also open a file started in another program and edit them in PS CS4 (ie: fireworks , or AI).
    but for some reason if I want to start a project in photoshop it just shuts down, never used to happen. any clues? any one else have a similar problem and know how to fix this?
    running on windows XP

    I think you mean a new docuement - Photoshop doesn't have "projects".
    Photoshop shouldn't "shut down" - there should be some message about a crash.
    And the most likely causes at that point are OpenGL (try turning it off in prefs) and your default printer driver (try changing default printers).

  • Showing GL, PA Period error when create new Project

    Hi All,
    I am facing an Issue while creating a Project through Template, though I have opened PA Periods and GL Periods of current, but still showing following error
    "Cannot copy a budget to a period which is out of the range of system defined periods (e.g. PA period or GL period)"
    Please help me in resolving this.
    Regads
    Madhu

    Hi
    I assume your template budget has periods within the range dates of the template project, between the start date and the completion date of the project.
    When you copy the template to create a new project, enter the start date of the new project as the start date of the template. If your project start date is different from the template start date, the system will try to more the end date, and may also try to move the budget periods, so those will keep the same lenght, but starting from the new project start date. In those case you might be creating budgets in other periods then the original template budget.

  • RoboHelp 7 crashes when creating new project with files from VSS

    RoboHelp crashes when I create a new project and choose to get existing files from Visual Source Safe to load into the project.  Does anyone have a solution to this problem or a suggestion as to why this may be happening?  I'm attaching the errors associated with the crashing.
    Also, we have a very large Help system (985 topics) which compiles into a 46 MB chm file.  Is there a maximum suggested topic size (per topic) and a maximum suggested number of topics per project?  Could this be part of the reason RoboHelp is crashing?  We've always had a large Help system since we started using RoboHelp several years ago but the crashing is a more recent problem.
    Thanks,

  • InDesign 6 not responding when adding new pages

    Hi folks,
    I'm having a continuing problem that sees InDesign 6 "not responding" every time I try to add a new page or duplicate a spread on a document I'm working on.
    This doesn't seem to be a problem on a new document - only on my working file, which is due at the printer tomorrow!!
    Can anyone offer any advice as to what the problem may be.
    Typically, I need an answer ASAP.
    many thanks
