Final cut express quit when I tried to view clip

Hi, I'm new to FCE. I got the software a year ago but have only just got a new Mac to use it on. I followed the instructions to transfer AVCHD footage by copying the folder from 'Private' into a named folder, and did 'log and transfer'. The files appeared in the Preview place, but when I clicked on the 'play' button to view a file, the app quit. I get Thread 11 crashed. I have no idea what to do next. Can anybody help, please?

Thanks for the suggestion - only I don't seem to have an AVCHD option at all in easy setup.I have just noticed I can change the format to DV/PanasonicDVC pro, and then I get a whole lot more options of Codec, but I don't understand them....

  • Final Cut Express Quits when exporting using Quick Time conversion to MPEG2

    I'm new Mac user and I'm trying to compress a movie from Final Cut Express HD when exporting using Quick Time conversion to MPEG2 format when I do that Final Cut application quits.
    and if helps you to answer I have the same problem trying to do the same from iMovie HD and from Adobe Premier 6.5

    "exporting using Quick Time conversion to MPEG2 format"
    I'm not sure how you can get to that point: I cannot even find MPEG2 in my list of compression types while exporting with QuickTime Conversion... (I have 31 of them, and QT 7 Pro installed).
    In any case, if you want to make a DVD and have iDVD installed, you have simply to Export/QuickTime Movie (without conversion): iDVD will take care of compressing your movie for you before burning the DVD.

  • Recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion then Mavericks. I have Final Cut Express and when I export to Quicktime, and open to play the movie, Quicktime starts to "convert" it? What is this about????

    Recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion then Mavericks. I have Final Cut Express and when I export to Quicktime, and open to play the movie, Quicktime starts to "convert" it? What is this about????

    My existing movies are all the following types straight from FinalCut
    Apple Intermediate Codec, 1920 × 1080, Millions
    16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz
    This particular movie is 6.66 Gb
    The new Quicktime player in OS Mavericks converts these to the following format:
    Apple ProRes 422, 1920 x 1080
    Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 2 channels, 48000 Hz
    And a movie size of 6.48 Gb
    Please, please can someone tell me why?

  • Final Cut Express installed when I bought my machine will not open, can not find any upgrades

    Final Cut Express installed when I bought my machine will not open, can not find any upgrades. I am working on Mac Os10.6.8.
    It always worked before.

    There are no upgrades to FCE any longer.  Apple has discontinued the product.   If you need to reinstall the version you have from the original install discs, use this app to uninstall it first: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/

  • Final cut expectedly quits if I try to reverse clip

    Hi
    I really hope someone can help me, I'm at my wits end. Every time I attempt to reverse a clip final cut just crashes and quits on me. I use proxy media, I have render turned off. it is happening in both my projects. I don't really know what to try next... any ideas?

    The version of fcpx is 10.0.8
    Graphics in my laptop is is Intel HD 3000 384mb

    I store the projects and events off my external drive, a g drive mini with 7200rpm. I import the media via a folder on my desk top.
    The project is mainly greenscreen work with a mix of footage I shot on my dlsr and backgrounds/found footage downloaded form YouTube. I can give more detailed projects specs in the AM, right now my external HD is in my studio and I just got home. I really appreciate you replying to me.

  • The application Final Cut Express quit unexpectedly.

    Dear Group
    I have been receiving this error when trying to run FCE today. I have spent all day trying to run the app but to no avail.
    I have completed an install after completing a complete uninstall as per the instructions on this page:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA38198?viewlocale=en_US
    I have also downloaded the Preference Manager 2.1.4 to remove all my preferences and also deleted them manually.
    The splash screen always gets to "loading video effects' and then issues the error with associated report. The report makes no sense to me.
    I'm not sure what else to try now and it's driving me crazy.
    Please help if you can.
    Thanks
    Craig.

    Thanks Tom.
    Yes it's been working fine for a year on my iMac with the update 4.0.1. The only thing I can think of is that I installed the Boinx Fotomagico upgrade for Toast users this morning. I have since uninstalled this and still have the same problem with FCE.

  • Final cut pro quits when video filter is applied

    This is a new one on me... 
    I Installed FCP (studio 3) on a couple of macs at work, only to find that whenever a video filter is applied, it crashes out.  Transitions fine.  Generators fine.  Prefs trashed.  Permissions fixed.  Tried it on ProRes and DV footage with the same result.
    Any ideas?!

    Mac Pro, OS 10.6.8

    If you see this problem on multiple macs, there must be a common denominator.  Is there any antivirus software installed on the systems?  Are you using network storage?
    do you have any 3rd party filters installed? 
    Did you use preference manager to trash preferences?

  • DVC PRO HD for final cut express

    Hi,
    I recently got some videos in the DVC PRO HD format that I need to edit in Final Cut Express. When I try to view them in Quicktime...the screen is black and I cannot import them into FCE.
    I have no idea what to do? Any thoughts?
    Thank you.

    FCE does not work with the codec, FPRO can, if you can access it. Or, this free app can convert the clips to one that FCE can work with.

    Make sure the conversion matches the specs of one of the FCE Easy Setups. I'd suggest an AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec).

  • Why does Final Cut Express 4 quit automatically when I open Log and Transfer window?

         I'm using a Sony NXCAM and I am editing on a Mac OS X. The clips I have recorded are in MTS format so I understand I must use the Log and Transfer setting to import my clips. I plug the camera into my computer, go into Final Cut Express 4, turn the camera on, and then go into the Log and Transfer window. Once I open that, Final Cut quits and an error message pops up that reads, "Final Cut Express quit unexpectedly." Final Cut quits too fast for me to even click on anything in the Log and Transfer window. I really don't understand why it does this. The only thing I can think of why Final Cut is quitting is because I have over 100 clips on the camera, so maybe that is too much for Final Cut Express 4 to handle. However, I wouldn't think that would be the case. If anyone knows of anything I could do to fix this problem, then please send me a reply. I've looked around the internet to see if anyone else has had this problem, but I haven't found anything. Thank you, any responses will be greatly appreciated!

    Shooted videos directly saved to the SD memory card is no problem, the log and transfer window immediately recognizes the sd card and I was able to convert the videos. I will check later today if this were 25p, 50i or 50p footages.
    Strangely enough is that transferring the .mts files from the internal memory to the sd card (using the Mac finder, I don't know if it is possible within the camera itself) won’t help, the log and transfer window doesn't the recognizes the transferred files, strange!
    I hope that this problem will not occur using Final Cut Pro X, which I will start using soon.
    I'm curious what the exact problem will be.

  • Final Cut Express 4 Keeps Quitting Unexpectedly?

    So, on my old computer, I had Final Cut Express 4. However, that computer crashed and is no longer in use, resulting in all applications and documents from my old computer being transferred into a hard drive. I plugged in my hard drive to my new computer, and when I try to open Final Cut Express, almost immediately a small window pops up saying "The application Final Cut Express quit unexpectedly. Mac OS X and other applications are not affected." I had MANY times try to click relaunch, then reset and relaunch, but the same window appears each time. What should I do? Will my Final Cut EVER be able to work on this computer or any other? Or will I have to purchase a new one? Thanks SO much!

    My suggestion:
    Remove FCE withhttp:
    //www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
    Then reinstall from your FCE disc.

  • Error: Final Cut Express HD quit unexpectedly.. help????

    Ok, It was working great. Then all of a sudden I tried to open FCE HD from my dock icons and it says "The application Final Cut Express quit enexpectedly. Mac OS X and other applications are not affected." However, this doesn't seem to be true, because now quicktime doesn't work at all, and iMovie will not import anything: audio, video, nothing. I've tried everthing I can think of, I read other discussions here, nothing helped. I even un-intalled and re-installed twice... Can anyone give me a suggestion to fix FCE HD? Thanks. Fat Preacher.

    Disconnect all devices from the computer except the keyboard and mouse. Reboot. Trash your preferences and repair permissions and then launch the applications from the Applications folder at the top level of your hard drive. If it still does not launch the OS has been corrupted. I would advise contacting a service center or erasing the disk and reinstalling the operating system and all applications.

  • 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!
