Final Cut Pro won't fully open with new OS 10.10.3

final cut pro version 10.2 will not open with OS 10.10.3. Rather, it starts to open in my project, then hangs up with the spinning wheel that never stops. I upgraded the OS to this one just last week and haven't been able to open fcp cc since then

1. Can I rename the library as I wish to reflect the project topic?
- Libraries can be named anything you wish.  Rename them in the Finder.  Or simply name them when you first create them.
2. Can I safely drag it into the external drive so everything is in the same place and space is saved on the computer? I realize upon FCP start-up I'd have to locate the library to re-establish the connection.
- You can move Libraries to any location you wish in the Finder.  If you don't want your media to do offline (relink), you can select the Library in the Browser, go to the Inspector, click the Consolidate button.  This puts everything physically inside the Library so it is self-contained.
3. The library (on the computer hd) seems to create new libraries sometimes. One when I used FCP the first time. Another when I restarted using option/command, etc. Another with a little test video when I first purchased the program. Can I delete every single library (now in the movie folder) other than the one I am working on, or does the FCP system somehow need to hang on to one or more other libraries?
- There has to be one Library open when you launch FCPX.  If you closed all your Libraries before quitting FCPX, then it will create a default Library in your Movies folder.  You can move unneeded Libraries to the trash in the Finder, FCPX doesn't care.

    Installed a ATI Radeon HD 5770, now Final Cut Pro won't even open - says 0mb Vram?  Only dvi port work the two mini's not at all.  Bad card?  Macpro 3,1

    I would guess there is a a corrupt media in the project. You could also try to copy a part of it to new project which is shorter and see what happens. 5 Hours is extremely long. Best to divide it to smaller sections.

  • Final cut pro HD 2 not working with new updates

    recently purchased a new imac. Most of my old programs were not supported. I updated to 10.9 from 10.5. Now, all the programs are running except Final Cut pro HD 2. I get a message sayin"power pc applications are no longer supported" Any suggestions? I read in an old discussion (from 2011) that I might need to download Rosetta?

    I do not know which version of FCP the OP is using as I do not recognize his designation of Final Cut Pro HD 2.
    However, last weekend I attempted to install Final Cut Studio 2 (Final Cut Pro 6) into Snow Leopard installed in Parallels, as a test.  It failed!
    Final Cut's installer suggested the following problems: not enough VRAM - 64 needed; 0 present (even though Parallels is set for more than the minimum required VRAM); and a missing video card.
    I attempted to work around this problem by using Pacifist to install FCS2, which worked, as far as the installation was completed.  However, when I attemped to run FCS2, a dialog box came up with indicated that same two problems and then it quit.

  • Final Cut Pro won't open

    Hi All,
    Please bear with me as I'm new to this forum.
    Final Cut Pro won't open on my computer and as a message, a window appear and says:
    "the waver form cache files folder does not have read/write access. Please select a new folder in the system setting dialogue or correct the problem on disk".
    I don't have access to the dialogue box at anytime because when I turn on FCP and this message appears, when I click "OK", FCP turns off. I have tried to open it through the icone but the same message comes back again.
    Can someone help me?
    Thanks a lot!

    I never suggested repairing the boot disk.
    I should have been more specific in my suggestions.
    In my experience the best way to repair permissions via Disk Utility is to restart the computer in safe boot mode/repair permissions/restart.
    It is my understanding that running Disk Utility without a safe boot is less than effective.
    I do think this process is better than running DU from the OS disk but there are worst case scenarios where it must be done. The original posting probably doesn't apply to this situation.

  • How can I open a project made in 2000 on Final Cut Pro to migrate it to a new version?

    how can I open a project made in late 2000 on Final Cut Pro to migrate it to a new version to finish editing it? files, timeline and unfinished edit are all stored on hard drive since early 2001, with all the original miniDV tapes still in hand

    Do you still have legacy FCP? If you not you need to find someone who will open the project in FCP6.0.6 or later. Export an XML file of the project. Use 7toX to convert it to an XML format that works with FCPX. Import the converted XML file to FCP.

    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.

    I transfered my Final Cut Pro from a macbook to a new macbook pro and i cant get the program to open. I have already uninstalled a reinstalled 4 times. What should I do?

    How did you transfer it?
    As a first step you should trash the preferences with http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/

  • Final Cut Pro stopped working after I bought new macbook pro

    I bought a powerbook G4 back in 2004 and Final Cut pro. I recently bought a new macbook pro and I can't get my final cut to work on it. I lost my disk but I had it on my backup hardrive but when I try to open it it says final cut pro hd 4.5.dmg -not recognized, claiming that the images failed to mount. Can anyone explain this for me?

    Unfortunately Final Cut Pro 4.5 was long before the era of Intel Macs and it won't run on a modern MacBook Pro. You will need to upgrade to Final Cut Studio 2 to get Final Cut Pro to run on a MacBook Pro.
    Final Cut Pro 5.1 was the first version that could run on Intel Macs, released in March 2006.
    Sorry to be the bringer of sad news.

  • Can Final Cut Pro 7 be run on the New MacBook Air

    Can Final Cut Pro 7 be run on the New MacBook Air (just for looking at footage and assembling a rough cut) or is the graphics processing inadequate? Also wondering the same about Photoshop CS5 and Aperture 3.1.3.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    You can install on (1) Tower and (1) Laptop, as long as they are both used by you, and NOT at the same time.  This is for when you edit on your tower, but then need to edit at home, or on the road.  You cannot use one copy of FCP on multiple machines at the same time.  You need one copy for each machine you intend to use at the same time.

  • Final Cut Pro won't open windows

    Hi
    I'm pretty new to FInal Cut Pro, and am still getting used to it, so forgive me if this question has a blindingly simple or obvious solution, as I'm reasonably sure it has.
    For some reason, FCP is not wanting to open certain windows. More specifically in this instance the Tool Bench option under the Windows menu is greyed out, and won't let me open the window.
    I've had problems previously where FCP would refuse to allow me to open the timeline window too. Is there something obvious I'm missing?
    Thanks in advance.

    the tool bench window would only be an option if you actually had a tool bench hosted tool open (ie those tools listed under the tools menu) without a tool open then the tool bench window would just be a big grey empty square ... hence the option is disabled until you open a tool.
    similarly the timeline and canvas window would be disabled if you did not actually have a sequence open else they would have nothing to show ... same rules apply
    cheers

  • Final Cut Pro won't open any of my projects.

    I had a one month break not having time to work on my videos, during which I have updated Final Cut Pro X to version 10.1.1. Now my projects have vanished from the library, and it won't open .fcpevent or .fcpproject files. When browsing in Finder, everything looks as it always has, but Final Cut library shows only the original clips, none of the edited work. If I try to open .fcpproject file, it states that "The document “CurrentVersion.fcpproject” could not be opened. Final Cut Pro cannot open files in the “Final Cut Pro Project” format." Months of work on a sketch series has thus just disappeared, and my backups are just as useless as the originals. I'm new to Final Cut and edit videos as my hobby and don't quite understand all the features. I've got no idea what to do or try.

    Is that an external hard drive? I can't see the left side.
    What have you done so far? It looks like a library was created for that drive and the old projects and events were put in a back up folder. Where did these new projects and events come from? None of them after the correct FCP icon. They only have generic icons, and they were all modified today. Did you open them in 10.0.9 today? How were they modified?
    Change the name of the folder called Misc. to sonething else.

  • Final Cut Pro Won't Open, bounces once in dock

    I am running Final Cut Studio 2 and everything has worked perfectly for about 6 months. When i started up my computer today I clicked to open Final Cut Pro and i t just bounced once in the dock, then did nothing. All the other studio programs(motion, soundtrack, color etc...) open up just fine. I have not run any updates in a few weeks, infact, that computer isn't even hooked up to the internet. I tried deleting the preferences, opening up form the applicaitons folder and double clicking a project file and final cut still just bounces once in the dock and then does nothing. A safe boot didn't do the trick either. Does anyone have any ideas as far as what i could try short of doing a re install of final cut studio?

    tried deleting the preferences ...
    When you say "tried" do you mean you did? which files did you trash, or which app did you use to do it? I'm liking "Preference Manager" for this at the moment (http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm)
    Also as a troubleshooting step you might want to create a new OS X user account, log in to it, and then see if FCP will launch in that new account.

  • When opening Final Cut Pro it keeps getting stuck with the loading circle and I have to force the quit so please help?

    I have a Macbook Air, still fairly new from July 4, 2014. Yesterday, I was editing some footage in Final Cut Pro, and the colored spinning circle kept popping up. I continuously forced the quit, as I couldn't do anything, and then I restarted and looked for updates (though there was none). I then deleted the app and reinstalled it, but it's still giving me the same problem. This morning, I created a new user account, and Final Cut Pro works on that account, but it took some time to find the exported video (I actually had to turn it off and turn it back on to find the video). Later today, I went onto the main account, where Final Cut Pro isn't working, and it's still giving me trouble, and then the Picture Preview program got stuck, as well, twice, where I had to also force it to quit. What's happening? How do I fix this problem?

    The info given below might help but if it doesn't, I'm sure other people will give you useful suggestions.
    Corrupt preferences can create a vast range of different symptoms, so whenever FCP X stops working properly in any way, trashing the preferences should be one of the first things you do using this free app.
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
    Shut down FCP X, open PreferenceManager and in the window that appears:-
    1. Ensure that  FCP X  is selected.
    2. Click Trash
    The job is done instantly and you can re-open FCP X.
