Final Cut Pro X won't open.

So here's what happened. I was working on my project from my 2tb hard drive, and all of a sudden, FCPX crashes, and completely freezes my computer. Can't eject my drive, can't do anything. So I'm forced to shut down my computer. When I powered back up, I checked my drive, and all the files seem to still be safe. However, when I go to open FCPX, I get this scary warning sign saying the project/drive may have been corrupted, and then just quits on me. When I check the drive again, files still safe. I try to reopen FCPX and the icon just bounces for a while, and then stops and doesn't open, like nothing even happened. Has anyone run into this problem/have any suggestions, or ideas?? I'm freaking out because this literally came out of nowhere.

The first thing you do after the application crashes is trash your prefs which undoubtably have been corrupted. You should do this before you try to reopen the application.
Hide your events and projects (Event Manager X is handy for this). Trash your prefs (Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager is best for this). Launch the app see if it runs.
Replace the currentversion events and projects with their backups and see if the app will run.
Please give complete specs of your computer system and perhaps what you were doing when the crash occurred.

  • Final Cut Pro 5 Won't Open

    Hi i am having a major problem!
    well for starters i must say that a few months ago my macbook crashed and i called apple care and my computer was repaired over the phone(a folder was corrupted)
    I was told that my applications were saved and shall run like normal but that was not the case..
    I had to re install my internet browser and recently i figured my Final cut pro would work fine but when i went to open it it failed to open! it said a error occurred and asked if i would like to report to apple and i did several times..
    Then i decided to look up the problem in online forums and i deleted final cut and re installed it and even deleted old preferences (was suggested in forums ) but when i go to open it it dosen't load ... It crashes
    i'm really upset and frustrated and i hope i can be helped because my efforts have gave me no sucess!
    please do help me soon!
    here below is my error crash report
    if that helps
    thanks

    Version: 5.0.1 (5.0.1)
    Code Type: PPC (Translated)
    Not only is Final Cut Pro 5.0.1 incompatible with Intel Macs, it's also incompatible with Leopard. The reason it used to work was pure luck. When you run an outdated version of Final Cut Pro you live on borrowed time because any future operating system or QuickTime update can break it.
    The solution is to purchase a newer version of Final Cut Pro that is compatible with your processor and operating system. As you have a prior version of Final Cut Studio you can upgrade for $299 (even less if you shop around).

  • My Final Cut Pro 7 won't open! Help!

    Hey!
    So I've had FCP 7 for awhile now and it's been working perfectly!
    But then a week ago I tried to open it and
    it spends a couple of seconds starting up then comes up with,
    ' Unable to locate the following external devices:
    Apple FireWire NTSC (720 x 480)
    Your system configuration may have changed, or your deck/ camera may be disconnected or tuned off.
    Please check your connections and click 'Check Again', or click 'Continue' to set external device selection to None.'
    But I don't have a camera/device that is connected?
    I've tried to click 'Check Again' but nothing happens...
    and when I click 'Continue' this pops up:
    Non-Writable Scratch Disks
    One or more of the scratch disks you have specified does not have read/write access.
    To preserve the integrity of the data used by Final Cut Pro, it is necessary to ensure read/write access to the following:
    Macintosh HD/Users/haleighdoyle/Desktop/External Drive/Documents
    And the only option is for me to reset my scratch disks. And then it pops up saying that:
    One or more of your chosen scratch disks cannot be found. Please verify your current selection in the scratch disks preferences.
    And THEN this pops up...
    PLEASE HELP ME! I'm not too sure what to do now.
    Thank you!

    You are in the wrong forum.
    You need to post this in the Final Cut Studio forum.

  • Final Cut Pro project won't open

    I can locate my project, but when I select it, the event opens and shows the beach ball forever. It is a project I had to set aside while finishing some others. I bought a new MacBook Pro and had to update to FCPX 10.1.1, and all my projects. Now the project jams when I select the event. Original media is there, the project is there, and the beach ball is there.

    Hi TNGWB,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    A few questions come to mind as I review your comments.   You mentioned “It is a project I set aside.”  Then you “updated FCPX to 10.1.1 and all my projects.”  So, was this project updated with all of the others?  Or was it moved to a different location and has not been updated yet?     When you open FCPX, do you see the event called Updated Projects?   When you click on the Updated Projects Event, do you see this particular project in the Event Browser (it will have a black and grey strip along the top.)    Click on the link below for complete instructions including screen shots:
    Final Cut Pro X 10.1: Updating and working with libraries FAQ
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5958?viewlocale=en_US
    If the project has not been updated yet, you can update it manually:

    http://help.apple.com/finalcutpro/mac/10.1/#ver2df430747

    Take a look at this information, and see if it sheds some light on your particular situation.

  • Help Final Cut Pro 5 Won't Open

    It seems to just quit when it gets to loading au plugins. It did this under 5.0 so i updated to 5.0.3 and same thing. Do i need to trash my au plugins could they be corrupt. I also tried a reinstall. It did nothing. I trashed all the plists and preferences. could i be missing anything?

    Y'Know... I just did this same thing on a guy's G5...
    Tried FCP Rescue... no go.
    Went in manually and did the following:
    In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences (the tilde (~) represents your Home folder.)
    Remove the "com.apple.finalcutpro.plist" file from the Preferences folder.
    Remove the "Final Cut Pro User Data" folder from the Preferences folder.
    BAM!!
    It worked. Eye hope it works for ewe.

  • My final cut pro 7 won't open any more

    it jumps up and down on the bar at the bottom then a window pops up saying that it had to close unexpectedly.  All the other features work(Compressor, dvd pro, cinema, soundtrack) and i would love to have the program back.

    You should probably ask about this in the Final Cut Studio forum not in the Final Cut Pro X forum.

    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.

  • Export Final Cut Pro 7 project to open in FCP 6?

    Is there any way to open a final cut pro 7 project in final cut 6?
    We have a bunch of older Macs that won't run FCP7, but we use for training but our hope was to upgrade the newer machines to the new Final Cut Studio, but it would be great if we could create something on the newer machines, that we could transfer to the older ones.
    We tried XML export, but it didn't look like it included filters and such, so we are wondering if there is any other way?

    Nope. no other way.

  • Final Cut Pro x crashes when opened.  Why?

    I downloaded a ton of photos to use for promotional videos and now Final Cut Pro X will start to open, then close.  I put all the photos in the trash and emptied the trash but it still won't open.  Can you help me please?  Thank you. 

    First thing to try is trashing the preferences using this free app which will only take seconds.
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
    Shut down FCP X, open PreferenceManager and in the window that appears:-
    1. Ensure that only  FCP X  is selected.
    2. Click Trash
    The job is done instantly and you can re-open FCP X.
    There is absolutely no danger in trashing preferences and you can do it as often as you like.
    The preferences are kept separately from FCP X and if there aren't any when FCP X opens it automatically creates new ones  .  .  .  instantly.
    Many weird things happen as a result of corrupt preferences which can create a vast range of different symptoms, so whenever FCP X stops working properly in any way, trashing the preferences should be the first thing you do.

  • Final Cut Pro X does not open

    Final Cut Pro X goes through the motions of launching then I a window opens up but doesn't populate with anything...it's just a blank dark grey window.  I tried uninstalling (dragging icon to trash) and reinstalling but it didn't work.

    Try trashing the preference files.
    Lots of different symptoms can be cured by trashing these files, so it should be the first thing you try when FCP  behaves strangely in any way.
    To do it manually is very simple.
    Close FCP X if it is open.
    Navigate your way to Users>Library>Preferences
    Then make sure the preference folder is in List View and the Name column is selected as this makes it easier to find the 2 files you need to trash.
    Drag the 2 files I have outlined in red to the trash.
    Click this image to enlarge it for clarity.
    Then launch FCP X and it will create new preferences and hopefully it will make things better.
    That's all  .  .  .  .   it won't take a minute and may work wonders.

  • Final Cut Pro doesn't like opening 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.

    Well this is bizarre... I know I accidentally double posted this thread, but I could've sworn that a mod deleted the duplicate.
    The only reason I'm even posting here is that my subscription to this thread as topic starter told me there was new replies.

  • Final Cut pro X crashes when opened

    I was creating a photo montage at the end of a video when the application frooze and then crashed. My problem now is that every time I open FCPX its fairly slow to open and as soon as I click on something it crashes and I get the beachball.
    I tried to locate the project file in finder but can't find it.
    I can't even start the project again as everytime I go on to final cut pro x it crashes.
    Any help?

    t could be a variety of things that was causing it to crash –for example,  the library itself, the event, a clip.
    With FCP open, see whether it will let you open the problem library Open Library>Other. If it does use the Move command to move the event from the old library to the new one. Then see whether it will let you work on it.
    Good luck.
