Final Cut pro crashes when any effect is click in the effect window HELP!!!
I have video placed in a sequence and when I go to the effect browser to click on a effect to drop on it the program thinks for a few seconds and then quits. I tried dumping the pref files in the pref folder and it did not work. is there a different method I should try?

#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.

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 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 crashes when reading Motion 5 titles

just made a personal version of the keynote title in FCPX and saved it. it appears in FCPX but it is obviously unable to read it and the title thumbnail appears as a single blue screen, if this is added to project FCPX fails miserably and crashes, yes a blue screen of death on a mac. how can i stop this or edit a title and save it correctly.
this fella https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3704394?tstart=0 is having the same problem.
-graeme

i did the 'open a copy in motion' for the existing title in FCPX.
when i have finished with the title in motion, i save it then go back to FCPX, the saved title is there but only as a blue thumbnail, if that is added to the FCPX project, FCPX cant read it correctly and crashes.
hope that makes sense

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?

I have a project that crashed on me when I was about to finish it. When I try to reopen Final Cut Pro it wouldn't open until I took the project out of the Final Cut Project folder. Can somebody tell me if this is a problem that has a solution? I cannot go back to the project at all.

If you are using 10.0.3 or above Apple added a backups folder that for a little extra protection in cases like this. If you quite FCPX go to your Final Cut Pro Projects folder. Find the folder that has the project in question. If it has a backups folder there should be a file with a date stamp and .fcpproject extention, that is your back-up. Just move the back-up from that folder one folder up to the place where you deleted CurrentVersion.fcpproject from. When I have had to do this I haven't renamed the backup but some people to recomend that you rename it to CurrentVersion.fcpproject and it seems to work both ways. Ofcourse it wont work if there is already a CurrenVersion file there you will need to delete that one first.
If you don't have the backups folder or there is nothing in it I am not sure if there is anything that can be done.

This error occurs when there is corrupt or invalid media in your timeline. Check that the codec used by the file is recommended for use in your editing application.

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?

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.

I shot video on a Panasonic P2 and I'm trying to import the MXF files to Final Cut Pro but when I try to import, the only thing that imports is a blurry image of each clip. There's no audio and no video...how can I import MXF files into Final Cut Pro?

at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
vs
using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.
