Final Cut Pro won't load anything and keeps crashing.. help!

Just got FCP today with my new MBP. It was working fine and it crashed. Now I open and it doesn't load the clips and the timeline doesn't show the preview. I've attached a screenshot. It opens for about 30 seconds then crashes. I tried reparing permissions but got nothing. Any ideas?
As you can see dark blue areas shouldn't obviously have images but they aren't loading FCP is crashing

What are the specs if your computer? What are the specs of your media?
Trash your preferences. Trash event and project render files.

Final Cut Pro won't load my project.

I have an external hard drive that I keep all my projects on and today I tried to load a project, but it won't load,
I have attached a screenshot below, it has been stuck like this for the last 4 hours.

Just to add a to Al's advice, working within the FCP X UI, try to copy one of the events (not the troublesome one) to the new library. Let us know how you make out.

I am thing of using Final Cut Pro but when I try and download I get the message "Your computer's video card does not meet the minimum system requirements." Can I do anything about this?

It is just as the message says. Your video card is not compatible.
You can add a compatible graphics card and use FCP X with your mac. I can't suggest which one, but maybe other people on this forum can guide.
And you may also get good suggestions in the Mac Pro forum.

Final Cut Pro Studio 5.1.1 and Final Cut Express HD 3.5

Hi,
I have a client with both of these installed on the same machine (running 10.4.6).
When they try and launch either application, the splash screen comes up, loading various filters, etc. then they get an error message:
"File Error: A file of this name already exists" "OK"
Clicking "OK" closes the app.
Any idea:
1. What the file in question is?
2. Can it be deleted to let the app run?
3. Can Final Cut Pro Studio 5.1.1 and Final Cut Express HD 3.5 be used on the same machine?
I'll post this on the Final Cut Express HD 3.5 thread too (but with the order reversed).

What you did was not enough to delete the preferences properly.
This article tells you how. It is for FCE2 but works the same for FCE3 so I assume it is also OK for FCE 3.5:-

It's simple to do so try it before reinstalling etc. - You should completely uninstall before reinstalling:-

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.

Installed a ATI Radeon HD 5770, now Final Cut Pro won't even open - says 0mb Vram?

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 has stopped loading!!!

Final Cut Pro has stopped loading!!! - I'm sure this is an easy thing to fix but every time I click on Final Cut Pro, the program begins to load, and at the final hurdle, it stops and returns to the dock as if I had never asked it to load in the first place. I tried to log in under a different account and final cut worked, but only for a while. I tried a previous 'help' tip by deleting the .plist to see if that helped but alas no.
Thanking you in advance

Does it crash while the splash screen is up? If so, see what's loading when the crash occurs. There could be something corrupt in your project if it's past the splash screen and you have your preferences set to load the last project on setup. If this is the problem, do some searching here on corruption for some clues.

I just updated to new final cut pro x 10.1.1 and i am also on mavericks so but on my editing timeline i was trying to color grade using magic bullet looks but i am having problem with it. when it comes back to tcp x it's black.

I just updated to the new final cut pro x 10.1.1 and i am also on mavericks so but on my editing timeline i was trying to color grade using magic bullet looks but i am having problem with it. When i send a sample to MBL and color grade it , it comes back to final cut pro x all black even after render. By the way on the MBL i am using the GPU rendering, I used before like 4months ago and it was fine. And i don't like to use the CPU because it very slow.

What is the frame rate of the project? At what frame rate was the media recorded? What frame size?
What are the audio settings?
What are the specs of the machine, in particular how much RAM, how is the hard drive connected, etc.?
If possible, post screenshots of the inspector for the project.
It could be related to the audio frequency?

If it's in the purchased page and doesn't download, you should contact Apple.

IIs there an export function from Lightroom? Did you export? Does the exported file contain your edit?
THe hard drive file size doesn't matter. What matters is the image size, it's dimensions in pixels.
IN FCP press Cmd-J to see the project properties.

You have to choose – one settigf or another.
The thing is.your HD clips will look better in an SD project than your SD clips will in an HD project.
WIthout knowing much more about your project and the kind of content, it's really hard to be specific. But generally I'd let my project settings be guided by what fraction of my timeline will be made up of HD clips and how much SD clips. If it's 75% HD, I'd probably do an HD project…and so on,
Good luck.

HT4589 final cut pro x 10.0.6 and 10.0.7 Bugs with neat video

In Final cut pro x 10.0.6 and 10.0.7 (unlike 10.0.5) have a bug, which produces corrupted frames (incorrect colors,inverted,mirrored,uppside down...etc.) when certain types of plug-ins are used. one of them that i have bye is neat video. If you think of bye final cut pro x, dont bye it!!! Stay away from it because it has TO MUCH BUG!!! What was apple thinking (Sorry they dont think) when they uppgrade from FCPX 10.0.5 to 10.0.6 and then to 10.0.7 without fix the bug???

I did so but it did not change things. I checked fpr disc issues and found error and repaired the disk, but that also did not work. I think my issues is not enough ram, I'm only have 2G ram. Final cut did not do this initially but yet I have sevearl spots or projects now total 6 but thay are all short videos. surely 2G would let you edit sevearl short videos. There is not a full length motion picture on it, but soon will be if I can get the final cut to work properly. I did get rid of a lot of videos butr thern again it maybe because I have my hard drive partitioned due to error in harddrive. but sense I repaired onle the partition that the final cut was on. Perhaps I should repair the other partition yet it only has storage of videos etc. I'm kinda lost unless maybe I get all new hard disc and use an external drive. I see issues aboutr Final cut a lotr on interrnet, what up with that, maybe I need something larger then an Imac with a heck of a lot disc space and RAM RAM RAM. u can reply here or to [email protected]

Final Cut Pro won't open project

Please Help!!
I have been working on a final cut pro project for a week and it will not open my project. When I saved it to an external drive and tried to access it it wouldn't let me open it.

Here ya go

Final Cut Library Won't Load!

My Final Cut Library, based on an external drive, won't load. It gets stuck loading certain events.
It all began earlier when my Library WOULD open, but it would take 10-15 minutes to do so. I finally realized it was because it was attempting to access thousands of PNG files on an external drive that caused the hangup. Noticing that the local machine drive handled these files much better than my external drive, I moved the folder of media to my local drive with the goal of reconnecting the media files.
Then, when I opened up my Library in Final Cut (after taking 15 minutes to do so), the event with the trouble files contained NO CLIPS within it whatsoever (in fact, the star Event Logo wasn't present next to the name of the event). The clips were still in the sequence that I had cut in, but they would not open in the media browser at all.
Now, trying the main Library again OR the local backup (from the Movies folder), the app gets stuck once it opens. I can't click anything within it.
I'm stuck, don't know what to do, am on a deadline, and would sure love some help. Thank you to any kind and knowledgeble souls out there!

All the files were being linked to the folder on the same external drive at the library is on. I.e., I "left the files in place." I figured if I just renamed that external folder, the files would register as off-line in the event, and I could relink the event to the copy of the files on my internal drive. Granted, I did not know you could use the consolidated feature in Final Cut Pro to relocate original files. I did it by hand in the Finder. The weirdest part of all, is that the event still remains in the library within Final Cut, but it's only text with no event logo next to it, and if I selected, all the original clips that were in that event have vanished, meaning I can't select and relink them.
Unless I can try what you're saying of inserting the files directly into the event folder within the library package, I'm having to create a new event and import the new files from the internal drive clean. It requires me to redo all my edit with the graphic files, but it seems I don't have much other choice. Even if I were to replace the graphic files back into the original event folder, they would still be running off of the external Drive, which caused the problem in the first place. So far, accessing the graphic files off the internal drive has gone lightning fast.
