Final Cut 10.1.4 keeps loading unwanted events

I just upgraded to Final Cut 10.1.4, and am deeply regretting it.
I imported all my events and projects, and everything seemed fine until I tried to actually do work.
Every time I try to drag part of a clip into the timeline, or an effect onto a clip, Final Cut decides to start loading an event I'm not working on into the event browser, but the load never ends, and the program freezes. It won't let me do anything. I have to Force Quit the application. It's basically useless, as I can't drag any media into the timeline without this happening. HELP!

I followed the prompts, and updated all of my projects and events to the new Library format. All of my media is there, and I can see it. I upgraded from 10.0.8, which had been very stable, if somewhat slow to render effects.
The problem went away for a few hours, I got a lot done, and suddenly it's back. When I try to drag a selection of a clip to the timeline, or an effect onto a clip that's already in the timeline, or if I use any commands, suddenly I get the spinning colour wheel and the application starts to load an event unrelated to what I'm working on.

    I am trying to download Final Cut Pro, but it keeps telling me there is not enough space on my hard drive even though there is. Help?

    I realized that my laptop only has 2GB of memory. It's a MacBook Pro 13in bought in 2009. Is it true that I'm able to upgrade up to 8GB of memory. Seems like 4GB of space is a lot for a single program to be running.. A bummer I'll have to save up for more memory.

    You can search the entire internet by putting that error message into google, see what other discussions appear.
    With only the little information you've provided, I'd trash Compressor and download it again from the App Store.
    You could share the timeline out to MPEG2 and then import that into iDVD, if you have it, or Toast.
    Given an hour or three, someone with better suggestions will soon chime in.

  • What do I do when Final Cut Pro 4 crashes when loading audio filters?

    When I try to start Final Cut Pro it crashes while loading the audio filters. I have upgraded through the years to FCP HD but trashed that and reinstalled FCP4.0. I also trashed preferences file and everything else other forums suggested. I ran preference manager but no luck. It hasn't opened for several months. I am running OS X 10.4.11 on a dual 1.8 GHZ Power PC G5 with 2.5 DDR SDRAMM. Thanks in advance for any help.

    I downloaded Audio Manager and disabled the plug ins it found(which were in a different file folder) and lo and behold FCP loaded. I guess now I need to enable each one at at time and find out which is the culprit. Thanks for your help.

  • Final cut wont open and keeps disappearing while loading

    Since friday, I am trying to open final cut and wont let me, it disappears as soon as it starts loading. I restarted the mac so many times and I have reinstalled final cut and nothing. keeps disappearing.
    any thoughts?

    Before the long winded uninstall / reinstall hoopla, did you just try trashing your preferences? Might be all you need. You can do it manually of course but the free Preference Manager tool from Digital Rebellion handles it easily plus allows you to create preference set backups and more : http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm

  • All Final Cut Studio 2 products keep prompting for Serial Number

    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    1) Bought Final Cut Studio 2
    2) Installed it with the provided Serial Number
    3) Registered
    4) Opened each product - was prompted to enter name and serial number
    5) Tried reopening stuff like DVD Studio Pro 4, Final Cut Pro etc.. and am re-prompted with the same blanks to enter name and serial number... this happens even when I restart the computer.
    What gives?

    OK, I just spoke with Apple Care and got it fixed...
    I like when things work this well.
    Here is my simple translation of what he told me
    A) Make sure you have closed all applications.
    1) go to this folder:
    /Library/Application Support/ProApps/
    2) Find any file that has "_SystemID" in the name
    i.e. FinalCut_ProSystemID, DVDStudio_Pro_SystemID
    etc... These are left over from your previous versions.
    DELETE THESE FILES - yes all of them.
    Empty the trash too
    3) Restart Final Cut Pro and enter your Serial Number
    This is nice because now ALL of Studio 2.0 is serialized!
    4) Enjoy Final Cut Studio.
    Here is a more technical version below:

    Troubleshooting serial number issues with professional products
    If you're having difficulty entering a serial number when activating your professional software product, keep these tips in mind:
    * Make sure you are reading from the original serial number label that came with the product.
    * Be sure to enter your first and last name, and verify there are no mistakes in the serial number field.
    * Some numbers and letters look similar, so make sure you don't mistake a zero for the letter O and the number 1 for the letter i or lowercase L.
    * Enter the dashes in the serial number.
    * Make sure there are no spaces before or after the serial number.
    * Make sure that the serial number is valid for the product you're trying to serialize, for example:
    o Soundtrack serial numbers are not valid for serializing Soundtrack Pro
    o Upgrade serial numbers cannot be used with Academic or Not for Resale numbers from a previous version
    * If you've already serialized your application and downloading an update causes it to stop working, try removing your System ID file and enter your serial number again. The System ID file for your product is located in
    /Library/Application Support/ProApps/
    Remove the appropriate file for your product, then launch the application and enter your serial number again.
    Also see the "Installing Your Software" document that is available on the Install disc in the Documentation folder, or as a download from the AppleCare Support manuals page or from these direct links:
    Installing Your Final Cut Studio Software
    Installing Your DVD Studio Pro 4 Software
    Installing Your Shake 4 Software
    Aperture: Installing Your Software
    Installing Your Motion 2 Software

  • Final cut express 4.0 keeps crashing

    I just purchased Final Cut Express 4.0 and it keeps on crashing when using log and transfer as well as other areas. It works for awhile and the colored pinwheel starts to turn and the program crashes. Please help thanks.

    I see you have have 4.0.1.
    What's the camera, computer, drives, how are they formatted, what's the OS?

  • Final Cut 5.04 Won't Load

    Final Cut won't load in the TI. Stopped last night at class. It goes thru the load screen, then just shuts down. I've reloaded software, no effect. Any Ideas what to do next?

    A good first step might be to go to 'Utilities' and launch 'Console'. Then go through your Log files and see if you can find any error messages associated with FCP in the log. These messages are often very cryptic, but if you've tried a a few times in succession to launch a FCP, there should be some clues in your log files.
    I'd copy and paste that log entry into a Google search or the search function here at Apple support... You need to isolate the source, and there should be an error message somewhere in the log that should mark the place where you need to start to diagnose what's happening...

  • HT4740 How can I avoid or solve the problem of Final Cut Pro crashes when trying to Show Events Library?

    When I try to Show Events Library in Final Cut Pro, it crashes each time. Please tell me how do I work around this problem?

    Try creating a new (temporary) folder and putting all your events in there - then launch FCP X.
    If you can open the Browser, then it's possible one or more of the clips in one of your events is corrupt. Close the app and move the events back into their original places one by one (re-starting FCP X each time). This will help you find the event which has the corrupt file in it.
    If isolating the events has no effect, I suggest you trash your preferences.
    Unexplained faults like this can often be fixed by clearing out FCP X's preferences (for some reason, they get knotted up from time to time).
    Download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (free, simple to use, and perfectly safe, both to download and use).
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
    With Preference Manager, you can backup the Prefs when FCP X (or any of the Apple Professional Applications) are working normally. Then when either of the applications are acting strangely, Trash the Preferences, then Restore from your backups (just a mouse-click).
    If you trash the prefs and don't restore them, you will need to manually restore all your FCP X settings again, so it's a great idea to backup Preferences from time to time when FCP X is working well, then your backups are up to date.
    Doesn't fix every problem, but it fixes a lot.

  • Final Cut 10.1 crash when copy/move events

    Final Cut 10.1 crash or hangs up with spinning beachball when copy/move several events between libraries at once. The problem happens more often than not when managaging media in different libraries on same and/or different disks.
    Move or copy one event at a time works, but not several events at the same time. 
    The problem occurs on an 21.5 iMac (mod 2010) i3, 12 Gb RAM, 500 Gb HDD with external WD FW800 disk, an 27" iMac i7 (mod 2010), 12 Gb RAM, 1Tb HDD with external LaCie FW800 disks as well as with a 13" MacBook Pro (late 2012) i5, 16 Gb RAM, 480 Gb SSD with 1Tb External thunderbolt disk.
    Just checked one of the external drives that had problems with move/copy with Disc Manager and there were no errors.
    /Casi

    I tried the same thing with smaller (200 Gbyte) library and this problem didn't occur.
    My guess is that something fishy was going on with the large (>1 Tbyte) default libraries during upgrade to 10.1 and therefore not found during test of move/copy functionality.
    My own two machines are now upgraded to 10.1.1, but I have not dared to see if this work with an on-going project ;-)

  • Final cut pro x refuses to open projects/events from external hard drive

    I have a Lacie Rugged 1TB USB3.0 hard drive which is paritioned. Previously I was a lways able to open and edit projects from the drive but now it refuses to open it.
    When I initially open Final Cut, it says 'reading .....' and it reads the projects and events as usual(from the hard drive) and then it opens the window, and for about 5 seconds all my events are open and listed, but then I just dissapears and it only reads from the internal hard drive. I have tried everything from restarting but I have not reintstalled the program.
    Help would be appreaciated, thanks

  • Help please! Safari keeps loading unwanted websites.

    After clicking on certain pages I want to view on Safari, it loads that page as well as pages like www.efix.com for Mac repair which is really annoying. It also capitalises certain words on web pages with links to clean and repair windows errors. I viewed a previous thread by someone called Davis, but this didn't work for me as I presume it's to dated. Is there any current suggestions that you helpful bunch could give me to try and cease this annoyance?

    Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones.

  • My Final Cut Pro X won't load past the start-up screen....Why??

    I have been using FCPX for about 3 months now and I have had no problems. Out of NOWHERE today when I tried to open up FCPX it loads everything except for one project and it gets stuck. The start-up screen simply says "reading project 1". I have no idea what to do. I use FCPX everyday for editing videos and now I have nothing. I need someone's help.

    Not too many fans of FCPX here. Wrong forum. You'll have better luck here. https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/final_cut_pro_ x

  • On final cut pro x I keep trying to export but get the -50 error (something about quicktime)

    I've read the other threads and deleted all my render files, stopped background rendering, yet I still can't share my video. Any reason why I can't share?

    I was 't clear that I was talking a version of FcP. Even
    If some people still encounter iSsues,
    I still think Italy's sense to update.

    Sorry, but I'm not following you very well. Perhaps some else who does will weigh in and help.

    The term, movie files, covers a lot of territory. What format? Open in Quick Time, hit Command–I and post a screenshot.
    My files are stored on an OWC external hard drive.
    Project and Events?
    If I drag a file to my computers hard drive, the applications starts up fine. SMH.
    Drag what kind of a file? Projects need to be opened from within FCP.
