Final Cut Pro crashes every time I drag onto project

Every time I try to drag a clip to my project, the program crashes.

What are the complete specs of the media? How did the media get into your computer?
What are the computer specs? What version of the software and the OS?

Why does Final cut x crash every time I try to edit or delete a title!!

When I add a title I cant edit or even delete it without FCPX crashing every time. Pretty frustrating..

Hi,
Same problem. Very annoying. I have made a personnalized title using Motion. And everytime I use it in FCPX, it crashes. The worst of all : I am unable to open the current project. I have found that if I removed the preset made with Motion, the FCPX would open, but a missing title alert. S the only way is to place the title again. And after a few atempts, FCPX crashes again. And so on…
So sorry, no real solutions, but at least I don't feel alone.

Final Cut X Crashes every time I try to import imovie event library. Help?

Like it says in the title.
I try to import my event library. I begins to import, freezes and then crashes.

I had problems getting it to accept .dv files from imovie. I batch converted all of them with MPEG Streamclip to .mov files. That helped.

Compressor 3.5.3 stalls at end and Final Cut Pro crashes

Compressor 3.5.3 stalls at end and Final Cut Pro crashes I have tried Compressor repair, deleted qmaster files been at for a week now and it is doing my head in. Anyone out there who can help please.

Export your sequence File>Export QuickTime Movie. When you save it make sure Current Settings is selected and that Recompress Frames is not selected.
If that export fails, create a new project, copy the first project's sequence and paste into the Time line of your new project. Then export, following the steps in the first paragraph.
Once you have a self-contained QT movie, import that into Compressor. If you need to down res, turn on Frame Controls and set the resize filter to Best.
BTW, why do you need to down-res to SD?

#44: FCP acting weird - Trash Prefs
Shane's Stock Answer #44: FCP acting weird or unusual. Just not like is normally should
If the program was working fine, and now isn't, or just isn't working the way it should, the first things to do are:
1) Trash your FCP preferences. Download the appropriate version of FCP Rescue at http://www.fcprescue.com and run it.
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/trashing_fcpprefs.html
2) Open the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
3) Shut down for 10 min. Go for a quick walk around the block and get SOME exercise today. Come back, turn on the computer and see how things are.
4) (optional) Do the Hokey Pokey and turn your self about. Results may vary.

When exporting as a quicktime movie, final cut pro crashes!

When exporting as a quicktime movie, final cut pro crashes about 3/4ths the way through the 12 hour process. I'm saving it to a La Cie 500 GB disc by fire wire. It's worked before but after I converted one SD sequence (that was shot in HD)to a HD sequence, I haven't been able to export it and it won't play straight at anything bigger than 25% size. Please if you have any advice I won't forget it. I'm trying to export as ProHD 1060i.

I converted one SD sequence (that was shot in HD)to a HD sequence
How, exactly? And what were the settings of your new HD sequence? DVCPRO HD 1080 60i?

When i open final cut pro x when it starts loding the projects it shows the spining beach ball and is stuck wat can i do?

when i open final cut pro x when it starts loding the projects it shows the spining beach ball and is stuck wat can i do?

Possible corrupted project or media fies. Here's what I'd suggest.
First trash preferences. If that doesn't work…
Move your Final Cut Projects folder into a folder named Hidden Folder. See if FCP then launches. If it doesn't hide your Final Cut Events folder. Once FCP launches successfuly, create a test event and project.
To track down the problem, successively move load events and projects from hideen to their proper location and open FCP. When and if you get the crash you have hopefully located the problem.
The easiest way to do this is to purchace Event Manager X ($5).
Good luck.

FINAL CUT PRO KEEPS QUITTING WHEN TRYING TO OPEN PROJECTS-PLEASE HELP!

I am finishing up two projects and ready to export them to quicktime and final cut pro will not let me open the projects as it quit on me and these projects will not re-open.
Can someone please advise?1?!
Thanks

Does it give you any error messages?
Try downloaded FCP RESCUE and then click on TRASH. It will trash your preferences...that usually fixes stuff like this.

I have just updated to Final Cut Pro 10.1.4 - I have updated Projects and Events on my external hard drives (off the File menu). It's says under several project 'missing file' - but they were all there working fine before I updated.

I have just updated to Final Cut Pro 10.1.4 - I have updated Projects and Events on my external hard drives (off the File menu). It's says under several projects 'missing file' - but they were all there working fine before I updated. I am working off 2 external drives - not sure if that would make a difference.

After the update each seperate connected drive should now have a seperate Library.
The older Projects and Events folders would have to be at the top level of those drives go be seen and updated.
Were all the necessary Projects and Events in the corrrct place before updating?

HT4740 How can I avoid or solve the problem of Final Cut Pro crashes when trying to Show Events Library?

When I try to Show Events Library in Final Cut Pro, it crashes each time. Please tell me how do I work around this problem?

Try creating a new (temporary) folder and putting all your events in there - then launch FCP X.
If you can open the Browser, then it's possible one or more of the clips in one of your events is corrupt. Close the app and move the events back into their original places one by one (re-starting FCP X each time). This will help you find the event which has the corrupt file in it.
If isolating the events has no effect, I suggest you trash your preferences.
Unexplained faults like this can often be fixed by clearing out FCP X's preferences (for some reason, they get knotted up from time to time).
Download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (free, simple to use, and perfectly safe, both to download and use).
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
With Preference Manager, you can backup the Prefs when FCP X (or any of the Apple Professional Applications) are working normally. Then when either of the applications are acting strangely, Trash the Preferences, then Restore from your backups (just a mouse-click).
If you trash the prefs and don't restore them, you will need to manually restore all your FCP X settings again, so it's a great idea to backup Preferences from time to time when FCP X is working well, then your backups are up to date.
Doesn't fix every problem, but it fixes a lot.

Final Cut Pro crashes when starting app

Hi there - Some of you may remember that I had Final Cut pro v.2 and could not install it on my new G5. So... I went out and bought a v.4 upgrade. I went to install it today and have the following problem:
When Iaunch the program, it crashes..EVERY time.. I can install it without any problems, but when I go to start Final Cut Pro, it gets to the point of loading audio files and CRASH... the app shuts down.
The only clue that I have is that when I start the computer after installation, I get a security messages saying that there is a problem with the security of a startup item..specifically library\qmaster. I click FIX, restart the computer, but when I try to start Final Cut, the same problem pops up - it crashes.
Help please!!!!!

The only thing I've loaded that didn't ship with the computer is Audio Recorder 2.2. I can try killing that and see what happens...
Appreciate the help.. Bill
On edit... the last thing I see is LOADING AUDIO FILTERS... not files as I said previously...
Then I get this dump in the report (sorry, long, but maybe you or someone else will know what to look for...I'm lost!!! :

Final cut pro crashes constantly

Hi, I was using Final Cut Pro X Trial with no issues on my mac retina 15 (w/ most current OS update, no sketchy pirateware ever installed on this machine.)
I bought FCPX via the mac app store and the program crashes constantly, like every 1- 5 minutes, literally.
I have a simple project I am working on, 2-3 of audio and video in the project. Could anyone point me to a troubleshooting process page? Thanks for anyone who can point me to the best way to start to trouble shoot this, I have tried a lot of searches but just can't get the right keywords to get me to a page that helps.

HI, if vtrash is just a typo for trash, then yes I did do that. I haven't downloaded addtional content, is that something I should do? I did run disk repair permissions and restarted. A few times.
And Thanks for the fast reply!

Final Cut Pro crashes when video is added to the timeline.

I have Final Cut Studio 5, and every time I use Final Cut Pro, it crashes when I add video to the timeline.
I meet all the system requirements, have all the updates, have trashed preferences, and have also uninstalled and reinstalled the software.
Everything else in Final Cut Studio works fine. What should I do?

The codec for the sequence is "DV/DVCPRO- NTSC". I converted a .mov file to a DV movie, and Final Cut worked just fine when I put the file into the timeline.
So this solves the problem, but I have one question. Am I going to have to always convert files into this format now? Or is there a way I can import the files without it crashing?
Thank you.

Final cut pro crashing with slide show photos

I am working with a large slide show - a few movie clips, but mostly still images from Aperture. The photos were shot wtih a Nikon D300 in Raw, not that I think that matters much at all.
Becasue this is a slide show I am working wth short durations for the images - usually 3:14. Most of the transitions are simply cross dissolve, but some are more complex.
I am getting again and again crashes - or the spinning color circle going to oblivion and requiring a Force Quit.
Either can happen when adding new material, moving arround existing material, or trying to reset durations, add text, different transitions, or working wth the Ken Burns options. Sometimes it also happens when resizing the time line zoom level.   This marvelous feature seems the most consistent way of trashing the application so I tend to leave it alone.
I may be able to work for an hour or only a few minutes. Sometimes deleting and re-adding an image seems to help, but that may not be true - most of the time it's just simply random.   The system has 14 Gig Ram and I am using iCleanMemory now to see how much is in play. A crash / freeze may occur with a lot or a little - usually looks like I have about 8.9 Gig in play for normal use of Final Cut and no clear change when it crashes / freezes.
Clearly the images are compatible - they are from Aperture and there is no consistency in always the same image being the issue.
Below is the first part of the error report dump.
Hoping someone has an idea for how to overcome this.
Appreciate the thoughts.
Cheers -
Dan

objc[1012]: garbage collection is OFF

Well, I filmed many of those videos in HDV (the 2x2 wall, the 5x5 wall and some of the 10x10 wall). Plus I converted the whole project to HDV because it is the way I displayed it (thru camera to Plasma TV's) and I wanted the HD space to work with and since part of my videos were HDV I figured that would be best.
Of course the DV footage is not so good quality, but when made very small for that big screen it looks fine I think. Yeah the AIC codec is great but it takes 4 times as much room, but you think that would work better hey?
I just don't want Final Cut crashing like that. I don't care if it can't play it back in real time or it takes 10 seconds to display 1 frame.
I have not used motion....would it work for what I did. Remember I used over 100 discreet video streams I had. I don't want to replicate the same layer...you get the drift.
Did you see it in youtubes HD? What did you think of the quality?
