Final Cut No Go After 5.1.2 upgrade

Hi Guys & Girls
To make it short... I upgraded to FCP 5.0...
ok..so far so good
Then I upgraded to Tiger 10.4 and upgraded off the net the apple updates to make it 10.4.8
again..so far so good.. I thought until I opened FCP to finish some work
FCP would not Log & Capture ... so I checked and changed capture settings etc, etc, etc ...
I then upgraded to FCP 5.1 and then opened it ...still no Log & Capture
Then I updated to, off the net, 5.1.2
Now, the whole bloody thing won't open !!!
It starts, then quits when it gets to the G4 Excellerator?
Does anyone know what the go is ?
Tiger seems to be ok .....all other apps open and work
Soundtrack, LiveType, Cinema Tools, DVD Studio Pro & All Adobe products open and run
If I go back to FCP 5.1, I still can't Log & Capture (due to missing camera files)
FCP 5.1 has the same problem... the update from apple says........
((Final Cut Pro Update 5.1.2 provides important bug fixes and compatibility updates for certain Canon, Sony, JVC and Panasonic devices. This update is recommended for all Final Cut Pro 5.1 and Final Cut Pro 5.1.1 customers)).
I have run permissions in Disc Utilities and All are OK
Another college was happily working when he decided to update to 5.1.2 and guess what !!!!!
He went home with the SHTS
So ?? Are we all screwed ?? or is it just a simple fix ??
Reguards to all
Mark

thank you for your information
the capture problem has been fixed with the deletion and download of Q/time 7as stated in the link you directed me to.
As I already had pro, it stayed and is working fine
Dear Maxplanar
As for FCP quiting.....
tried dumping the preferences, but no effect ..
I looked into the lead messege about FCP quiting after start up ... when I have time to try it I will (dumping non-apple Q/Time files)
Yeah ...Q/Time again ...
But thank you for your input ... you never know if you never try these things
Thanks guys

I can't open Final Cut Pro x after it crushed

I can't open anymore Final Cut Pro X after it crushed while I was editing footage for 10 minutes. Can you tell the reason and what could I do to resolve it?
Thank you

Maybe the Library or Project have become corrupt.
Hold down the option key as you launch FCP X and you should be given the choice of which Library to open.
Choose to create a new one.
If that doesn't work try these troubleshooting strategies.
Use this free app to trash the preferences. This should be the first thing you try when any problems occur.

2. With FCP X shutdown, hold down option key and select Go>Library>Application Support>Final Cut Pro . . . trash the Layouts Folder.
3. Open Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
4. Trash FCP X using this free app and reinstall it.

5. If these 3 measures don't work, create a new User Account (Admin) in System    Preferences and try running FCP X from that as it sometimes works miracles.

I am having an issue burning DVDs on Final Cut Pro X. After 15 minutes, I get a QuickTime Error:0. Anybody have a solution to this?

I am having an issue burning DVDs on Final Cut Pro X. After 15 minutes, I get a QuickTime Error:0. Anybody have a solution to this?

I'm sure the pros will be along to ask what your settings are. Although this may not be exactly helpful, I did find compressor to be much more robust for burning DVDs. This could partially be because it includes a template to convert you movie into correct DVD format. I was quite pleased with the outcome after multiple failed attempts using FCPX alone.

Final Cut Pro X after installing Mountain Lion I have lost some of the "additional content" which was available by clicking on "Download Additional Content" in the roll down from "Final cut Pro". Now this feature takes you to store update?

Will Final Cut Studio 2 HD and FCP 7 Upgrade load on newest OS?

I have Final Cut Studio HD and an FCP 7 Upgrade on my old system. Looking to buy a new iMac and wondered if I could load Studio 2 and FCP 7 on the newest OS?
Any insight is appreciated!

Forgot to mention, although it will install it isn't officially supported by Apple anymore. Just in case someone jumps in to point it out.

Will final cut pro X speed up if i upgrade my ram and don't upgrade my processor? iMac 2.9 GHz i5 with 8 GB ram

will final cut pro X speed up if i upgrade my ram and don't upgrade my processor? iMac 2.9 GHz i5 with 8 GB ram

the most improving effect on 'speed' is distributed media:
System/App, Projects, Events, Cache, backups on diff. platters. Esp. when using compounds/multicams, each 'angle' on its own drive...
To improve 'rendering' = export speed, the graphic card is the limiting factor.
On my slow system, 8GB was nice, 16GBs made it more 'snappier' ...

Final Cut Not responding after computer is in Sleep Mode

I put my computer to sleep for a few hours when I go away on a shoot. When I come back and wake the computer, final cut gives me the spinning wheel of death and is not responding. What is even more annoying is when I go to force quit the program, it doesn't quit from the task bar and the dot under the icon of final cut is still lit. Even after trying 10 force quits it still stays active. I am forced to shutdown my computer everytime and this problem happens everytime the computer goes to sleep and is woken up.
Is there a fix to this?

Which version of FCP?
Are you on a network?
How many drives are in your Mac?
And, if there is more than one drive, are you absolutely certain you placed your registration information on the correct drive?
The usual explanation is that FCP is trying to locate or verify the serial number (different behaviors in different versions). The drive where that info is stored is inaccessible (because the drive is not spinning and so is the same as not mounted) to FCP (which is loaded into RAM) and totally active.

Massive memory usage when using latest version of final cut, 10 minutes after restart.

Hey I am really struggling with using Final Cut Pro X and I suspect there is some software issue.
I am editing a one minute video clip, the video files are 1080 h264. I restart my computer and only open final cut. After 10 minutes of editing I cant barely navigate my computer anymore as it is going so slow, until eventually I have to force reboot my computer. I can scarcly export anything out of final cut, when I do my computer feels like its about to die and if it exports I seem to get broken frames and/or missing media.
I reinstalled my mac only about 2 months ago.
System specs.
Mac book pro.
13-inch, Late 2011
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
On my previous mac book pro (early 2010, 4 gm ram), running snow leopard and previous versions of final cut I was able to edit 3, 1 hour documentaries with very little problem, but now I cant even manage a one minute clip.
Not sure what to do. Here is a screen shot of my memory usage. Im getting massive swap memory and lots of inactive memory. It seems very strange. Especially after only 10 minutes running only final cut.

FCP is only using 409 MBs of memory out of your 4 GBs. But whatever else you have open is using up virtually all the physical RAM you have. This is forcing the memory manager to page memory out to the disk-based VM file. That's a major reason for major slowdowns.
You have 4 GBs of RAM. How many applications are you running concurrently? If you look at Page outs: you will note the positive number in parentheses. That means your computer is hitting the hard drive a lot because the memory demands are too high. If possible cut down on how many concurrent applications you run or put more RAM into the computer, if that's possible.
About OS X Memory Management and Usage
Using Activity Monitor to read System Memory & determine how much RAM is used
Memory Management in Mac OS X
Performance Guidelines- Memory Management in Mac OS X
A detailed look at memory usage in OS X
Understanding top output in the Terminal
The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.
Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently. It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster. What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM dependent. It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.

Suddenly getting message that my system doesn't support final cut. this is after hooking up an external lacie hard drive and downloading a new lacie shortcut button software. i had also safe started the computer.

I am suddenly getting an error message when i try to start up final cut pro 7. it won't let me anymore, saying i don't meet system requirements. this started after I hooked up my lacie external drive and found the shortcut button to not be working properly. i then turned off my computer and safe started it. that didn't help. so i downloaded a new lacie shortcut button software. then i could no longer start final cut. also, my screen shots on my desktop appear blank when i try to open them now.

if your using the Lacie as a scratch drive for Final Cut, uninstall the backup software and blue button control utility to use the drive properly to save and read media files.
Lacie blue button drives are for automated backup and dont perform with FCP
see this from Lacie on uninstalling the preference utility:

Final Cut Studio crash after OS 10.6.5 update

10.6.5 and Final Cut Studio.
Final Cut studio is not working after 10.6.5 update. Have spinning ball of death on many projects and exports from FCP crash Compressor and DVD Studio Pro (or they crash of their own accord)
Question: Reinstall FCP??
Question: is anything lost when deleting current FCS??
Do not want to roll back to previous OS. Have done too much stuff since, and it's complicated.

Question: Reinstall FCP??
As a last resort, maybe. Have you tried using Disk Utility to repair permissions?
Did you install the ProKit 6.0.1 update? There are some threads here that advise not to do so.
You can find out by opening the Software Update pane in System Preferences and looking under the Installed Updates tab.
Question: is anything lost when deleting current FCS??
The applications, accompanying media content, associated libraries etc will be removed. You will not lose project files or media that you have imported from cameras or other sources.

Setting up final cut pro studio after fault

Hi
I installed final cut pro studio a few months ago but my mac then had to go in for repair. I have since had it back but when trying to run any of the studio applications, when asked to enter my serial number again it says it cannot run application as licensing data is corrupt.
can anyone help?
thanks

If it was my mac, I'd archive anything of importance to another drive or cd's or data dvd's, then do a complete erase and install of everything, starting with the OS.
Install OS, run the updates, install applications, run the updates. Repair permissions and reboot after every installation. You'll be stunned at how spiffy your machine will then be.
You can search this forum for how to just trash the corrupt licensing data. But personally, I wouldn't do that. FWIW.

Final Cut Express problem after upgrading to Leopard

I have a Final Cut Express project file (plus all supporting files) on an external hard drive. This project has run successfully on 2 computers, a PPC running OS 10.4 Tiger and an Intel MacBook Pro running OS 10.6 Snow Leopard. After upgrading the PPC computer to OS 10.5 Leopard, it will no longer open the FCE file on the external drive. Other FCE project files work OK. The error message is: File Error: Access Denied.
Other files on the external drive open successfully (e.g. iMovie and iPhoto).
The Get Info window of the external drive did not have the checkmark in front of Ignore Ownership on this Volume. Adding the checkmark makes no difference.
Any suggestions?

Hi(Bonjour)!
There are 2 variations of FX1: the USA and the european: FX1 and FX1E, like the HC1 and the.. HC1E.
SONY choose 1080i60 (1080 pixels height, interlaced 60 frames sec) for USA and 1080i50 for europe. It's relevant because you can preview your HDV clip on a standard TV sets (NTSC or PAL).
The Z1 model can handle NTSC and ... PAL, nice .

Did you launch from the dock? If so check your Applications folder. If you installed correctly FCP 6/7 should now be in a folder inside the Applications folder
