Hi guys. I contacted apple support and have managed to solve this problem. For anyone else experiencing this issue the solution seems to be to recreate the proFX.framework folder in the library folder. This is an OS installation problem rather than a FCE installation problem, as you so rightly identified. The apple tech sent me a zipped framework folder which has now solved the problem. Thanks for all your help.

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.

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....

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.

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:

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!

Final Cut express HD 4.0.1 Keeps crashing on start up

Hello, I run a Mac lab at an art school and we have 8 copies of FCE on iMacs.

You can log in to the computer once and open up FCE HD. 4.0.1 and everything is fine and dandy save and quit.
Log back in and ope up FCEHD. Crashes, without warning. Right after the load screen.
Repaired the Disk Permissions and still nothing. I can't find the Pref files for FCE. Are they hidden in the application folder in the package contents?
They aren't in the Library/Preferences Like they usually are. Please someone help I want my students to work with FCE instead of that crappy iMovie. Thanks

Ps. I have one copy of Final Cut Pro Studio 2 and now it started to do the same thing...

Hello,
Does this happen on all 8 of your iMacs, or just 1 of them? Is this a new behavior (meaning it worked fine before, and this just started happening? If so, can you think of anything that may have changed recently, like a security update, installing new software, update or upgrade OS X?
What version of OS X is installed?
When you installed FCE, did you install it under an admin account and run it at least once in that account before running it in any user accounts?
Since this is a lab, are you using Workgroup Manager? If the user accounts are networked accounts and the user folders are on the OS X Server, FCE won't work with that setup.
Are the iMacs networked, and if so did you use the same FCE serial number when you installed FCE on each Mac? (FCE inspects the local network when it starts, to see if there is another copy running with the same serial number, in which case it will terminate.)
FCE preferences are in /users/username/Final Cut Express User Settings/Final Cut Express 4.0 Prefs Each user has their own prefs file.

Final Cut Express (4.0.1) keeps on freezing (not responding) when i import files (pics). Have force quit 3 times already. Also rebooted Mac. Any help please?

Frustrating experience with Final Cut Express 4.0.1 today. Started a new project. Imports pics, but every now and then FCE freezes and I have to force quite. Any advice please. Thanks

CMYK is a colour system used by specialized publishing businesses so unless you have got your pictures directly from one of these sources they are unlikely to be CMYK.
If the pictures have been produced by you they are likely to be the normal RGB.
To check, ctrl click on an original picture and in the Get Info window check the colour specs.
As you can see this one is RGB.

Final Cut Express: I had to do a force quit of FCE. When I click to re-open it, it runs through its opening sequence but quits before it opens. Is there a fix or do I have to re-install?
Mac OS x 10.5.8, FCE 4

Hi
And You can also try
• Keep alt-key down during up-start of FCE (iMovie, iDVD and iPhoto is forced to start from a new project or give possibility to select another library - if old project/library got corrupted)
• Start a new User-Account - log into this - to force FCE to create a new set of Pref- files (if corruption was in any of these)
Just to find out where to look for the problem

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.
