Final Cut Express HD (3.5) closes right after opening?

Hi,
I believe years ago I had this same issue and it was as simple as deleting the preferences (??).
Basically, what's happening is I just installed FCE HD (3.5) on my G4. I meet the system requirements to run the application AND Soundtrack Pro and LiveType open and run fine. FCE closes immediately after opening and then I get an error: "The Application Final Cut Express Quit Unexpectedly."
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Yeah, sorry for being so confusing. That's exactely what I did. Since my main HD is 500Gb and my secondary drive is 120Gb, I just copied all the necessary files to the 500, formatted the 120, reinstalled OSX, and booted to it. The intention was to let the FCE software think it was installing on a fresh drive (which, it was).
However, even then it won't let me install FCE. Just LT and Soundtrack. ?? I'm a bit confused because the system requirements for Soundtrack and LT are the same for FCE.
I'm trying to install it on a Dual 1.25ghz G4 Quicksilver with 1.5Gb Ram. ??
The funny thing is I WAS able to install the complete program initially when I got it. I had a previous copy of Final Cut Express (1) on my main drive. I ran the FCE HD installer, and the program installed just fine. However, it kept closing right after it would open. I figured it was a preference conflict between the newer version (3.5) and the old version (1.1). So, I've done my best trying to erase all evidence of FCE ever being on the drive and still get nowhere ??
Thanks!

Final Cut Express HD 3.5 Quits unexpectedly while opening

Hi all. I have Final Cut Express HD 3.5. I bought it several years ago and used it on my Mac Book Pro (2006 model). I bought an iMac a few years later (December 2009). I can't remember what OS the iMac came with, but it's currently running 10.6.8.
I recently was asked to collaborate on a video project, so I installed FCE to use on the project. The installation went just fine, and the software didn't seem to disagree with my system, nor the system with the software.
I then went to open* FCE, and got the following error message:
"Final Cut Express HD quit unexpectedly while using the Impromptu Analysis plug-in."
*Note: this is the first time opening the software on this computer after the first time installing it on this computer.
Here is a shot of the loading/splash screen:
It tells me that while loading Audio Filters, It comes across a "MOSO: Impromptu Analysis" and somehow doesn't like it.
Live type and Sound track both seem to work fine.
THINGS I HAVE TRIED:
1. the first thing I did was a search of my computer for "Impromptu Analysis," and found a .component (I think) plugin. it wasn't in the traditional audio plugins folder, but within a folder containing the application (Impromptu) in my documents folder My first instinct was "get that thing out of here!!" so I deleted it. problem not solved.
2. Did a complete software update of everything, verify and repaired permissions, and still nothing.
3. uninstalled and reinstalled, and nothing.
4. Ran software update again.
5. reboots between each step.
6. Bid on Final Cut studio 5 on ebay. I've since been outbid (but still watching like a hawk).
What I don't understand is even after deleting the plugin, rebooting and an uninstall and reinstall of FCE, and it's still messing with the plugin.
THINGS I HAVEN'T TRIED
1. upgrading to 4.0 (don't have a disc, and it's not available for a free update, since it's discontinued, is it?)
2. reinstalling the plugin that's causing the issue
3. deleting or resetting the preferences of the AU plugins list. (not sure how to).
my best guess on the problem plug-in is that it is part of an install of the live coding software called Impromptu (http://impromptu.moso.com.au/). But it's blowing my mind as to why it's still messing things up even after I deleted it. I don't think I ever did a proper install of Impromptu, nor did I do a proper uninstall...
If anyone can point me in the right direction, that'd be super swell.
Thanks!

Well never mind everyone. Apparently, Searching your computer for plugins through spotlight doesn't search the plugins folder in either the "Macintosh HD" location or the ~/Library locations.. Go figure.
I went to re-install the trouble plugin, and to my surprise, I still had 2 copies of the plugin installed on my system. I trashed them, as well as the other 15 or so of their brother and sister Impromptu Plugins, and got the software to open! now all I have to do is figure out what codec/setup to use.

Made a 2 minute edit on Final Cut Express but at the 30 seconds (after I exported), there's a clip showing up that is not in my project, a clip i don't want in there, a glitch, how can I correct this problem? I don't want to start over again :(

Basically, I have 2 problems:
1) When I export it shows this clip that's not in my normal project and it ruins my project by having this clip in there; it's like a glitch. I tried to change the clip, and and still doesn't make the project normal again. Tried a new sequence and dragging the project into HD Mode and to no avail.
My camera:
HD: 1080p
Settings: At Hd
2)
Also, it's only displaying black bars above my project, even after exporting at 720p. I just don't want this random clip in my project or the black bars. I'm using Final Cut Express. Does anyone have any possible idea what this could be? Any help woud be much appreciated! I'm clueless on this.
IS ANYBODY OUT THERE? : )

1) Is it a video clip? Something you recognize? To be clear, it's displaying at a point in your exported movie but doesn't appear at all in the sequence?
2) What are your sequence settings? Right-click your sequence and choose "Item Properties" to verify.

Premiere CC closes right after opening it.

I bought these programs i'd like to use them to continue working!!!!

See my reply in your other message Lightroom is the only program that will run

Creative Cloud closes right after opening.

Hello.
My creative cloud apps close right after I open them.
For an example I'll take photoshop. I click it, I get the photoshop logo.
After the logo disappears I get the Photoshop screen. But it only remains open for a few seconds, and then closes right after.
No error messages, no warning, it just closes.
It's not just PS, every app I have installed has the same reaction.
I have tried:
The font thing I found on here. - Didn't work
Reinstalling the apps - Didn't work
Reinstalling Creative Cloud - Didn't work

ITunes closes right after opening

My iTunes started "performing an illegal operation" right after opening, then closing, a few days ago. I've tried every trick I know, been through every support scenario on their website, and looked at all kinds of forums to try and fix the problem, but nothing's been working. I've found out that the "quicktimeh264.qtx" file is the problem, but I have no idea what to do. I've uninstalled and reinstalled both iTunes and Quicktime, and that didn't help. Any ideas?

Sorry, wrong forum, I'll repost it in the right one.

IDVD 7.1.2 closes right after opening in OS 10.9.5

I have a 27-inch iMac (Mid 2010) with a 2.93 GHz Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB 1333 MHz DDR3 Memory and a 1TB SATA Internal Hard Drive. I have the most current issue of iDVD (7.1.2) which worked fine when I created a DVD on August 24, 2014. I then upgraded my OS to Mavericks (10.9.5) on September 24, 2014. On October 12, I attempted to make a DVD from a short video I had taken and iDVD closes or crashes 10 to 15 seconds after opening. This leads me to believe that for some reason it is not compatible with Mavericks.
I am wondering if this is the case or if there is a fix for this. If not is there another DVD creating program available in the App store that would work as good or better that I could purchase to solve this dilemma.

Try this basic troubleshooting fix:
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents of IDVD'S cache folder: User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD.
3 - launch IDVD and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If you're running Mavericks or Yosemite go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:

Apps close right after opening - IOS 5

Just upgraded my ipad 2 to ios 5. Some apps that worked fine before upgrading ios, now close a few seconds after opening them. Any clues on how to solve this? (already tried reboot, delete app and re-install... doesn't work)

I was under the impression that any apps that you currently had on your iPad would work with the new updated iOS. However, I can't remember why I even think that but I probably read here on this site.
In any event, I believe the overwhelming majority of your apps should still work even if some will not under the new iOS. What I'm saying is that there may be something else going on that will require something additional on your part - perhaps restoring your device to factory settings and then restore to your backup.
iBooks is an Apple App but there are other reasons why the apps could be crashing. You could try closing all of the apps in the recents tray and restart and see if that helps, but you may need to restore your device(s) if nothing else works.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Out of memory error on Final Cut Express

Hello,
Ok so quite often we have to record into iMovie6 live (on a Macbook Pro) so that we can get all the content being recorded without gaps (tapes don't last long enough). After the project is imported (and transfered to my Powermac with FCE on it) I would rather use Final Cut Express to edit everything. So after saving the iMovie project I start a new project in FCE and import the files from iMovie. When this happens the audio always needs rendered and often when I render these files it really bogs down my PowerMac G5 and eventually gives me an out of memory error. After looking at Activity Monitor during the rendering, the System Memory just starts to become inactive and then eventually active until all the memory is used. That's usually when I get the memory error in FCE. I have 1GB of memory and I've added another Gig but the result is the same. It appears this is a problem with the app. Anyone have a clue or any ideas? I am using Final Cut Express HD 3.0.1 on my PowerMac.
Thanks-
Adam

Thanks for the comments however I currently have a project that I am trying to get done and these comments don't help right now. Anyone have any advice to speed up the process?
I just need to render the audio faster without having to reboot all the time. Any other FCE project works fine when rendering audio, it's just the import from iMovie that for some reason soaks up my memory and causes me to have to reboot to get it back.
Thank you-
Adam

Problem with my Final Cut express HD's livetype & soundtrack programs

Hi everyone, hope someone could help me
In 2006 i but my Final cut Express HD for my laptop Macbook. I have used a lot, it always worked.
I haven't used it this year and the only new thing a did to my laptop was installed the snowleopard software is now 10.6.8. But yesterday, i try to save a project in my LIVETYPE and SOUNDTRACK (programs that come with the Final Cut Express HD) it automatically close up deleting everything and appear a window saying: that quit unexpectedly and push reopen and repeat the error over and over again.

I will like to know what happens? and how can i fix it?!
Thank you so much

Final Cut Express Problem...HELP PLEASE!

I have installed Final Cut Express HD and when I try to open the app it gives me this messages:
B4 II: Cannot load the B4 default file! Still no tonewheel files found!
Please install the B4 again.
B4 II Cannot find default file 'def.b4'. Please locate it in order to use the default presets!
I have no idea what it's talking about or what I am supposed to do. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Have you used a lot of music applications on your computer... Midi etc,
B4 II is a virtual Hammond organ and the tone wheels are its default draw bar settings.
Have a look in your applications folder for B4... or Native Instruments folder and delete.
Hope this helps

Can Final Cut Express open Final Cut Pro files?

I am wishing to edit a Final Cut Pro file that is saved to a hard drive, but I olny have Final Cut Express. Will I be able to open the Pro file with Final Cut EXpress? If not, is there any way I could open the file?

I did this, as instructed, but when I got home to see if my FCE would open the file, it didn't even recognize it as a standard file. When I tried to force it, it just brought up an error message. I do have all the related media files on my drive. Anything I'm missing here? Thanks so much!

DVD tray closing right after opening.

Hi, everybody!
I just bought a sata DVD recorder and I'm having some problems with it. During the startup, I receive the following message repeatedly:
ata4: hard resetting link
ata4: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300)
ata4.00: configured for UDMA/100
ata4: EH complete
ata4.00: exception Emask 0x100 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6
ata4: hard resetting link
Then, when I try to open the tray, it closes right after opening (either by pressing the eject button or using the command line). Even with only one second, I managed to insert a disc, just to see if the system would recognize it. The DVD was read normally, but I almost broke the disc trying to insert it on the drive. First, I thought it could be a problem with the drive, so I replaced it with another model, but the problem persisted. I have dual boot with Windows XP and the problem is not happening in that OS. I don't know what kind of information would be useful to provide. My system is up-to-date and I tried both a Samsung drive and a LG (which is the current one).
Thanks.

Check System Preferences. I think Control-1 is used by something in the OS now. Switch it off. It's a major p[ain the way the OS is taking over more and more of the keyboard, allowing less options for application use.
