Final Cut Crashes on startup "GNX4 editor" shows in info window

I recently bought Final Cut Express 4 - I had used Final Cut Studio on an identical machine at work (that was running OS 10.4) and it worked fine. The installation went perfectly, but when I try to launch the application, it loads almost completely - the menus appear at the top of my screen, the progress bar is progressing. In the status info field, it starts loading audio items, reaches one called GNX editor, stops there, and invariably the app. crashes before it can finish loading. Its rather frustrating! I tried installing the app on my identical work machine with OS 10.4 - works fine. On my OX 10.5 equipped machine, no go! Anyone else have the same problem, or know what's going on? I suspect it has something to do with my Digitech GNX4 audio input - but I did a clean install of OS X.5, on a blank drive, so none of the old drivers from that device should still be on this machine. Its very puzzling.
Any assistance will be appreciated!

Thanks for the insight - I did a bit more searching and found that there was a hidden Midi preference set for the GNX, and there was also an old preference for it buried in system file - both are gone and
Voila! Final Cut is now open for business.

Final Cut crashing on startup - Please Help

I've never had an issue with my Final Cut before until today and have to urgently create a dvd in DVD Studio Pro but it keeps on crashing on startup. It does the identical crash to Final Cut as well.

Now onto my dilemma, I've checked /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ProKit.framework and I deff don't have that folder (ProKit.framework)
I read this http://www.digitalrebellion.com/blog/posts/solvingmissing_framework_errors_in_final_cutstudio.html but I don't have my Final Cut Studio disc here or have Final cut on another machine.
I downloaded ProKitUpdate4.5.dmg from Apple support but when I try install it - it says "Alert - Your machine doesn't need this update"
Please Please any help would be extremely helpful, I'm really stuck and don't really know what to do.

When I go to start, Logic crashes and reports that it's a DIGIDESIGN CORE AUDIO problem.
I wonder if you have this file on your machine:
Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL/Digidesign CoreAudio.plugin
If you move it to the desktop, does Logic still crash?

Final cut crashes at startup

I am using the new cinestyle LUT with Magic Bullet LUT buddy plugin with FCP. My projects keeps crashing unexpectedly and it oftentimes crashes on startup as well. I saved 19 different versions of the project and they all seem to work sporatically and shut down sporatically too. what is the problem? I have Final Cut studio 6 and the newest Leopard.

If everything was running fine before you installed the plugins, then you'd probably get the best help over at Red Giant...

Final Cut Crashes on Startup on Multi User Imac

I currently have a mac lab with 10 imac and they have 5 user accounts on them with a admin account. I have installed final cut pro 7 unlimited licence on the admin account and when i launch final cut on the admin it opens fine and runs. When i go and use another, doesnt matter what imac final cut will launch shows the splash windows and finish starting up and then the splash screen disappears and final quits. I have also changed the scratch disk to a read and write partition with all the user account able to read and write to it. So i am wondering if anyone knows of a soloution to fix this. The imac have lion running on them with the latest updates and all the updates for final cut are done.

It's a mystery indeed..... Do this test PCB464, take one of the iMacs offline, (pull out the ethernet, or close airport), and try opening up FCP.

Final cut crashes on render

Please help!
I am using Final cut express for this project. I created it on an Imac.
Specs: Quad Core; Intel Core I-7; 8GB Ram; 2.93 GHz. Media is stored on an external HD.
Whenever I select render timeline, the window appears and shows me the progress. But once I let it alone and leave the computer alone for anywhere from 3-10minutes, and I return, I am greeted with another window asking if I want to report this crash to Apple or reopen program. What on earth could be going wrong? I have used this imac before with no hassle at all when rendering, but for some reason, it doesn't seem to render be working now.
I have tried to render only a few minutes of the time line and it works okay without crashing, but when I select the 30minute project, it crashes within a few minutes.
Could it have anything to do with a screen saver?
Any suggestions?

I've tried a few things to try and identify the problem, but none of them have helped.
For instance, I completely turned off the screen saver. In the preferences, under power saver, I selected, computer sleep to "never"; Display sleep to "never"; I unchecked the "put the hard disk to sleep when possible."
And then I tried to only very small portion of the timeline. The results were as follows:
At around 5 minutes, the final cut crashes. I tried this process several times, and it seems to render up until the 5 minute limit and then crashes again.
Does anyone know what to do?

FINAL CUT CRASH - FIRE WIRE PROBLEM

Alright, this is just my last shot.
I use final cut pro 3 to edit videos, and a miniDV sony camera too. (I even bought new fire wire cables to double check the problem)
Always worked with them, no sweat.
But once I upgraded my iBook with the latest OS version TIGER, my nightmare started. My iBook is the second latest one, still on warranty .....
Final Cut crashes every time I open the LOG AND CAPTURE window. No way, it's impossible .... I tried to re-install the software. The only way (it seems really weird and odd) is to use iMovie to import them.
It's very crazy. I tried the same in a friends computer, and apparently is his, just works fine.

OHH Yes absolutly, I send my originals CD's to apple. I pay 49 dolars for the Crossgrade and Then I install everythiing. I have MY oun lisence all original. But I dont know what is going on.

Final Cut crash on 'Log and Capture' selection

Hi guys,
So I have a BlackMagic Decklink Extreme card installed, and hooked up to a Sony J-3 DigiBeta Deck.
When I attempt to 'log and capture' final cut crashes before the capture window pops up. This happens on all setup's (10-bit/8-bit/JPEG) when I have device control turned on (RS-422). If I turn off device control, the capture window opens normally, and I can do a capture now, which is no good to me for logging purposes, or doing offline edits.
So, my question: Is the device control crashing Final Cut due to the fact that Im using an intel mac with Final Cut 5.0.4? Can anyone confirm this for me? Or is there something I can do to fix this? Has anyone experienced this problem?
Device control works outside Final Cut, in BlackMagic Deck Control, so I know its not a card issue.
Im still waiting on a copy of Final Cut 2, its in the pipelines... but in the meantime if there is a quickfix to this, help would be much appreciated, as Final Cut 5.0.4 is otherwise extremely stable for me...
Thanks,

Some background:
720x480 is a non-square format. It can either be the equal of 640 x 480 (4:3) or 954 x 480 (16:9) depending on what you tell your editing software the incoming stream will be.
If you told FCP the incoming stream is DV/NTSC 4:3 and you are getting a pillarboxed image, FCP is thinking you are sending it a 16:9 version and is filling the the sides to keep the aspect ratio correct.
It would help to know a whole lot more about settings within FCP and what your mixer is putting out.

Final Cut Crashed and then corrupted the file. So Final cut wouldn't open up. I tried reloading the backup, trashing the prefs file, systematically going through the 3 previous versions and opening them by themselves one by one to no avail.

Final Cut Crashed and then corrupted the file. So Final cut wouldn't open up. I tried reloading the backup, trashing the prefs file, systematically going through the 3 previous versions and opening them by themselves one by one. I found Final Cut now loads but each of the backups and files in the previous 3 versions won't load. I've worked on the project for 3 weeks. Im suprised the backup files won't load either!?! I've only rendered 1 low res version. I am thinking I will have to rebuild the project in Final Cut 7. That is simply too risky to have all my back ups not load up!!

I'm a little confused by this?
Final cut now opens if launch older projects. But if I actually click on the project it crashes. Im not sure what you mean by events? I've moved them from the events folder.
but when I open up and of the projects the FInal Cut opens but then wont load the project even with no events in the FInal Cut Events folder.

Final Cut crashes on network users

I'm running into some strange problems with Final Cut 7 crashing on network users, but not local users. I am a teacher at a highschool. We have a 30 Imacs running OSX 10.5.8 We authenticate users through an Active Directory and I also have a Open Directory OSX workgroup server running 10.5.8. Students Logon through the active directory but their home folder is stored locally. Final Cut is installed locally as well
When Logged in as a Local user final Cut works fine. When logged in as a network user final cut will crash upon launch. This problem is solved by deleting the "Final Cut Pro 7.0 Prefs" File located in User/Library/Preferences/Final cut pro user data/ . However at next launch this file is rewritten and final cut pro will crash again.
So I'm thinking there must be a permissions problem with where Final Cut is setting the scratch disk. So I look at the scratch disk settings to find that nothing in selected or checked. Final Cut usually sets its default location for scratch disk in Users/Documents/Final Cut Pro Documents. The students have read/write access to this folder. So I set the scratch disk to their Documents, save a Project, and Quit. On relaunch Final Cut crashes.
I have tried setting a scratch disk as an administrator allowing full access to it, reinstalling Final Cut, verifying disk permissions, and shutting down the Open Directory Server. Nothing has worked.
So I opened the Final Cut Pro 7.0 prefs file with text edit and did as search for scratch. I found one paragraph that listed scratch a few times, but I did not find the name of any stored locations. With some trial and error I found that I can delete the word undoedit at the end of this paragraph. Lock the file and Final Cut will no logger crash. A scratch disk can be set inside Final Cut, however the location of the scratch disk is no logger saved and needs to reconfirmed upon relaunch. This is of course a temporary solution to my problem. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Motion 5 and Final Cut X aren't updating or showing up under the 'Purchased' Tab. What do I do?
I am running OS X Mountain Lion on a 13-inch MacBook Pro Mid 2010 model.
Thanks.

Thanks one again. I know you helped me the last to. I do have the Deja Vu font set in my folder. I downloaded and the last time. So I don't know if there is supposed to be more or not, but those were installed with Windows-XP after my reformat.
This is really driving me nuts. as I've done several re-formats on my computer and several friends computers and even upgraded hardware so I am not necessarily a software or programming expert, I am somewhat advanced when it comes to computers in general and can usually diagnose the problem but these font's are the problem and they never were before.
I did see in another forum that if you had a Dell Computer and did the Microsoft update for the onboard video card driver that it could be the culprit, but I have that disabled being I have a much better graphics card so the updates from Microsoft for the onboard video weren't installed.
It' a Dell Dimension 3000 with an Intel(R) 82865G Graphics Controller so I don't believe it is the culprit being it is disabled. The actual video card that I am using is a PCI Nvidia GeForce 9400 GT with 1 GB Memory. And I didn't have any problem before.
I appreciate the help. But still can't get things to work. Live Help Chat doesn't open for another two hours so maybe they can do "Remote Access" or something and can check setting and help me. But if you come up with other suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again.

Final Cut Crashes when I try to export a batch list - help!

I'm doing a very large documentary project and each tape has extensive log notes. I use the batch list function to export tabbed text files and convert them to excel - very useful in the creative process when figuring out story structure etc.
But now every time I try to export a batch list final cut crashes - any ideas on how to get around this?
please help.

Are you batch exporting the enrire project maybe?
Might try selecting just your capture bins and trying to batch export those. Could be a sequence or graphic file making it go kookoo.
If the sheer size of it is making FCP choke you could try selecting a single bin and then doing batch export. Do that for all your bins and assemble them in excel.

Final Cut Pro 10.1.1, hide/show inspector problems

In Final Cut Pro 10.1.1, my "show" option in the inspector for transform, crop, etc has disappeared. It has "hide" but not "show." I can't open any of the options to adjust the settings. Any ideas?
I've tried running pref manager, house cleaner, I even deleted the app and reinstalled through the app atore.

Yes it let me do that. Sometimes it would show the transform adjustment sliders in the inspector when I altered the media, sometimes not. If it did appear, if you hit hide, it was gone...no "show" to open it back up. I couldn't toggle on/off the skim tool for video or audio or snapping. Not even in the top menu or by hot keys.
Anyway someone advised me on another forum to create a new user with admintrative privileges on my machine, and then try to use FCP X. It worked. Now I guess I just have to give the new user read/ write privileges to the location where all of my previous user materal is. Unless there's some other better work around. I usually edit to external media, but all of my blue chip materials (music, stock footage, logo stuff) is in the movies folder on the old user profile.
I'm guessing that FCP is hiding some sort of preferencence file somewhere that I don't know about, or maybe not many people know about. I used pref manager, house cleaner, and even uninstalled/ reinstalled the app using digial rebellions FCS remover and also using the method provided by apple. Nothing.
Weird. Thanks for trying to help though.

HELP! Final Cut Crashes or Freezes on Export/Render System Kernel Panic

I am having issues with Final Cut on this computer since day 1 when I first purchased it! I do alot of video production for weddings and events and this is driving me nuts!
I have an Imac 2.16 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 3GB 667mhz DDR2 SDRAM. The media is reading off of my external Firewire 800 1 TB Drive. Final Cut is version 5.1.4. Quicktime version is 7.4.5
I am editing an HDV project currently although I have had the same issue with other regular DV projects that have lengthy renders.
The current project is fairly simplistic in layout, with a white matte on the first video line, video and png stills on the second row each with a key around the edges to give a soft white border appearance on the video. PNG stills have motion settings.
The problem occurs when attempting to render the project. If attempting to render the entire project, the time states about 4 hrs (for a 30 min project). At around 18-25% the kernel error pops up asking the restart the imac. If I attempt to render in selections of about 10 minutes a piece, it also results in kernel panic. If I take smaller peices at a time and render and keep saving, I am able to slowly get through rendering the project.
Exporting the movie to quicktime as a self contained file, or even not self contained, also results in kernal panic about 40% of the way through.
I have read on various forums about this and it seems like everyone is thinking it may have something to do with quicktime. What could the problem really be? I'm going crazy! Is the Imac just not able to handle final cut?
Thanks!

I've tried a few things to try and identify the problem, but none of them have helped.
For instance, I completely turned off the screen saver. In the preferences, under power saver, I selected, computer sleep to "never"; Display sleep to "never"; I unchecked the "put the hard disk to sleep when possible."

Show File Info window disappearing

I am trying to access a Pages document in a file sharing arrangement, but Pages won't allow me to access it. I checked permissions on the Pages document and need to add permissions, but the Show File Info window closes before I can do anything to change permissions.

Eversave.app was the problem. It apparently was causing the issue - closed the app, problem disappeared.
