Final cut pro and quicktime both crashing!

Hello
I posted this topic before:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18279503#18279503
I'm using fcp HD 4.5 and quicktime 7.6.6 on Leopard 10.5.8.  Final cut has been crashing, and now quicktime is crashing.  They are both dropping frames.  I am losing the ability to use flash player as well (for instance, I can't click on video links on facebook but I can still watch youtube).  Does flash player have something to do with dropped frames/crashing?
Also, someone suggested I upgrade to fcp 6 with quicktime 7.6.6 on Leopard.  They suggested ebay but does anyone else have any suggestions where I might find it?
Thanks!

Shane & Dave answered your FCP/QT compatibility question in your other thread.
If QT itself is crashing and so is Flash, that would make me suspect something has gone wrong with your system (operating system, not necessarily the hardware).
If you recently installed or upgraded Flash, that could perhaps be a factor.  In today's environment, more & more Mac applications are Intel-specific and they could cause problems on a PPC Mac.  I cannot tell if that is the case for you, but it's something to be aware of if you continue to use a PPC Mac.

  • New Final Cut Pro and Quicktime X

    My IT guys installed my Snow Leopard. I have FCP Studio 3. I don't have QTPro any longer. Anyone else experience this?

    I should be there is you elected to install it.
    I think it goes in by default, but check as Meg the Dog says in Utilities.
    The options for both Rosetta and QT7 occur in the customize area of the Installer of SL

    FC/e is based upon the Quicktime-engine; so, on 'Export using QT', you'll get all codecs & settings.
    but which one..
    due to sheer popularity, YouTube became a 'standard' - I'm happy with the convenience, YT and the 'embed'-code offers - excellent quality, automatic adjusted to the watchers connection&hardware.
    my export settings are 720p, h264, 6MBit/sec - gives a - imho! - superb quality.
    (example of a 'screen-test' from my latest project CLICK )
    for creating so-called 'flash video'/.flv, you need 3rd party apps.
    Sorenson Squeeze is more of an pro-tool, .. you need some background knowledge to get noticeable 'better' quality.
    .. and the question is: are you willing to pay $.$$$ for that 0.x% more quality .. ? does your source offers such a 101% quality, which needs such affords?
    if bandwidth is an issue, because you're hosting on your own servers, consider the free codec xh264, you can install as a free QT-plug-in.. with low or super-low bitrates, it offers a superior quality compared to h264 ...

  • I am traveling with my macbook pro and I forgot to install final cut express and quicktime pro before I left. How can I in a way download them for free on my laptop from where I am

    I am traveling with my macbook pro and I forgot to install final cut express and quicktime pro before I left. How can I in a way download them for free on my laptop from where I am? I need them and don't want naturally to buy them again!!!
    Thank you    

    Assuming you purchased QT Pro, you can always download it again at no extra charge by logging in to your Apple account.
    Regarding FCE, there is no way to download & install the product.  You need an original FCE install disk and your FCE serial number.
    Final Cut Pro X (aka FCPX) can be purchased & downloaded from the App Store.

  • If I own a Macbook pro and an iMac can I have final cut pro downloaded to both with one purchase?

    If I own a Macbook pro and an iMac can I have final cut pro downloaded to both with one purchase?

    If you purchase Final Cut Pro X at the Mac App Store, you can install it in all your Macs free of charge as many times as you want. The same applies for all the applications you purchase at the Mac App Store

  • Does CC 2014 eliminate the need to have Final Cut Pro and/or Compressor installed to access Apple ProRes 422?

    Hello:
    Just today, I was working on a Mac system that does not have any of the applications that I would have expected to need to have installed in order to do more than just decompress movie files compressed with Apple ProRes 422.
    I was expecting to have to install Final Cut Studio 3, Final Cut Pro X, Compressor 4, and/or QuickTime 7 with the QuickTime Pro key; however, none of those applications are installed and I am able to create custom QuickTime Apple Pro Res422 Sequences in Premiere Pro as well as export using Apple ProRes 422.  After Effects and Adobe Media Encoder also show all the Apple ProRes variations.
    Does CC 2014 eliminate the need to have Final Cut Pro and/or Compressor installed to access Apple ProRes 422?  Is it something happening on the OS or QuickTime level that would affect CC or CS6 in the same way?
    I've done a web search, but haven't really come up with anything other than older articles about needing to have FCP installed (and I typically work on systems with Final Cut Studio 3 installed as well as CS6, CC, or CC 2014).  If more detailed information is available, it would be great to be able to read up on it.
    The system is a 21.5-inch iMac running Mac OS X 10.8.5, QuickTime Player 10.2, and Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 (8.0.0 - I know an update is available for PrPro, but it's not my system to make that change).
    Thanks in advance,
    Warren Heaton

    Hi Emil:
    I use ProRes all the time as well, but I have Final Cut Studio on my workstations.
    I had not come across MindPower009's YouTube video.  That explains how ProRes could be showing up without FCP or Compressor.
    So, the answer to my question would be, "No, CC 2014 does not eliminate the need to have Final Cut Pro and/or Compressor installed to access Apple ProRes 422; however, if you are willing to be in violation Apple's terms of use, you can install the ProRes codecs anyway."
    Even though MindPower009's YouTube video comments claim "FREE and LEGAL", it's clear from both the Apple download page and the ProRes codecs installer that Apple expects you to own at least one of their applications.
    Thanks again for the link!
    -Warren

  • Final Cut Pro X 10.8 crashes every time I load firefox

    Final Cut Pro X 10.8 crashes everytime I load firefox. I have reinstalled both programs and it still just keeps crashing. I asked an apple FCPX expert and they said they had no idea why. The other software I have loaded is Logitech Vid. It doesn't crash but it auto loads everytime I run FCPX

    That's video chat software. You need to contact Logitech about why there software is firing up when FCP is launched. You probably have an extension in Firefox that's interfering with FCP. Try disabling all extensions.

  • Exporting from final cut pro to quicktime

    hi,
    i am trying to export my movie from final cut pro to quicktime. after exporting, the file is actually a final cut pro movie file, NOT a quicktime movie as intended. what am i doing wrong?
    to export the movie as quicktime, i know i go to sequence>settings> set the settings and then go to file>export>quicktime. what am i doing wrong??? it seems so simple!
    thanks,
    farilee

    You aren't doing anything wrong. It is still a quicktime movie, but set to auto open by FCP.
    Two things:
    (1) add a .mov extension to it.
    (2) select it in the finder, and do a get info. Change the Open With... to QuickTime Player.
    Make sense?

  • Final cut pro and compressor

    I have a FCP project that I have been working on for a year and have made DVD's from through compressor. Suddenly when I open compressor it states that there are no files associated with this project.
    Another user suggested I trash the preferences, but am loath to do this incase it makes things worse as I'm not very clued up on some of the systems functions.
    Please help
    CB

    If you've been on the project for more than a year, it must be legacy Final Cut Pro and not FCP X.
    This is the FCP X forum - you should ask this question in the Final Cut Studio forum:

  • I have recently downloaded final cut pro and i'm unable to access cinema tools. I understood this would be a free addition when purchasing FCPX?

    i have recently downloaded final cut pro and i'm unable to access cinema tools. I understood this would be a free addition when purchasing FCPX?

    Thanks for responding Tom. Yes I was trying to conform frame rates, I found a few threads/youtube tutorials that all used cinema tools. Now I've spent some time in FCPX I can see where you can conform.
    Appreciate your help.

  • Student Help advice! what is best iMac model for Final Cut Pro and logic pro

    Hi
    I am currently looking into getting a iMac, but is toggling to device if I need a 27inch or a 21inch(top model),which will be used for Final Cut Pro and logic
    There is a lot of money being invested iMac, and I really not want to be stu k with a computer that not going to keep up with the amount of work load in the future.
    The specs that I have on mine are..
    21inch 
    Upgrades include
    Sdd drive 512gb
    Intel core i7
    16gb of ram
    Or
    27 inch
    Upgrades
    Fusion drive or sdd 250gb
    Intel core i7
    (Possible graphic card) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2GB GDDR5 [+ £105.60]
    (Ram is way to expensive so will buy from second party)
    Anyone who has brought a iMac for final cut or logic what would you likely buy?..Am really stuck on the hard drives between the 27inch fusion and 512gb on the 21inch
    My budget is £1900
    My fear is that the 21inch top model's graphic card may not be good enough for advance editing on Final Cut Pro In the future when I start to get more deep into editing..logic really only needs 8gb to run smoothly..buts its the final cut specs that am having problems deciding. I know iMacs are not future proof or technology lasts for that matter, but I do expect to have it run good for a number of years before I upgrade again.
    If anyone can give me some advice, or even tell me about there set up they have for media work please let me know.

    All kinds of things affect system & HD performance, I can't tell you why your 4 year old Mac is slow.  Just because your old Mac is slow doesn't mean that a new iMac will be equally slow.
    You are correct about the issue with the smaller fusion drives.  It's one of the reasons I am not high on recommending them.  Everyone thinks they want power & performance but don't understand the gap between marketing and real life performance.  The 1TB fusion drive however should give you a good combination of rapid access and sizeable storage capacity.
    I have used external FW800 / 7200rpm drives for years and have never had a problem with any of them.  I consider them very reliable but admittedly I DO NOT use consumer drives like the WD MyBook that the big-box stores sell.   For the most part I assemble my own with OWC Mercury Elite enclosures.  In the past few years I have centered on WD Caviar Black and WD Scorpio Black drives.  I also have some Seagate Barracuda 7200.xx drives.  They all perform excellently and reliably.
    Pls. refer to my earlier post for what i recommended to you.

    I have edited a movie in Final Cut Pro and the video has been smooth all the time.
    Now, when the one hour long movie is ready the video seem to paus every 5 sec (only for half a second). It does it all the way through the movies.
    What is wrong? All the sudden.

    We need info, info, info!
    What version of FCP X?
    Did you render? what are the project specs? do you use many compound clips? how much ram, hard drive space, how is the hard drive connected?
    It looks like your mac can't keep up. Maybe the bottleneck is the hard drive, or something else.
    Try exporting a master file and see if the video is ok.
    Also, keep Activity Monitor open and see how much memory pressure you've got.

    256GB SSD  it shipped with will run low and one of the things to watch.
