Final Cut Studio 2 keeps crashing

Hey guys,
so I did quite bad with FCS and now I'm crying. It started all when I tried to fasten up the boot process. I killed some processes, and apparently also some QMaster which made that the Compressor did not work. A simple reinstall of FCS caused that compressor would start, but not show anything. So I decided to delete all FCS with the FCS Remover tool and do a clean, nice reinstall. After installing and updating FCS, Final Cut Pro, Motion and Soundtrack do not work anymore. DVD Studio, Color etc still work, but I don't need them. The complete error log below.
To sum up:
- Destroyed my installation of Compressor
- Reinstall did not fix anything, but FCP worked
- Uninstalled using FCS Remover
- Reinstalled
- Installed updates
- Software now crashes immediately
- Used reset and relaunch, still not better
any idea?
thanks
Thorben

Sorry, this is a bug with v1.0.3 of FCS Remover. It removed some frameworks but did not remove the corresponding package receipts, meaning that the Final Cut Studio installer was fooled into thinking that the files existed and were up-to-date when they weren't. This is now fixed in v1.0.4. Apologies for any inconvenience.
1.0.4 is now available:

Final Cut Studio 5.0.4 Upgrade to Final Cut Studio 2 HD Crash now needing to install on laptop

I had Final Cut Studio 5.0.4 on my laptop which I upgraded to Final Cut Studio 2 during the 12 month period when it was offered at a reduced price. My old G5 Hard Drive has bit the dust and I am trying to install on my laptop. I have successfully re-installed upto 5.0.4 including the troublesome compressor 2.0.1 and Qmaster 2.0.1. There are no further updates apparently when my laptop scans for any. I am running OSX 10.5.8. Now when I put the disks in for the Studio 2 all FCP, Motion, Soundtrack Pro, Compressor, DVD Studio Pro, Apple Qmaster, Live Type and Cinema tools are all grayed out, saying they need to be upgraded first. I am guessing it is because this 12 month deal is no longer available. Does anyone know a work around for this? I paid $499 for this upgrade and I cant re-install it?
My laptop is 2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo, 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SD RAM, small for FCP but I don't keep files on there.
Any help would be appreciated.

why did you install FCP 5 when you are going to install FCS 2? FCS 2 upgrade installer does not need FCP 5 installed and therefore you dont need updates as you will be installing a newer version of FCP.
During the installation process of FCS 2 it should ask for the serial number of FCP 5 then ask for the upgrade serial number for FCS 2. You must have both of these or it wont install.
Check this spec for FCS 2 with your laptop to see if it is compatible, if the machine is not compatible, it wont install.

Final Cut Pro X keeps crashing on opening

I have a 9 hours video opened up in the program so everytime i try to open Final Cut Pro X, it crashes. I have tried restarting, etc, but it keeps doing it! i really need to finish this video but i can't seem to even be able to open it. Please dont use technical words because i am still new to this software. ANY HELP IS APRECIATED!!!

First trash your preferences. Use Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion. Next, unmounting the drive that holds the events and projects as see if the application will open. Next, hide the Final Cut Projects folder and see if the Events folder will mount by itself.

Final Cut Express 4 keeps crashing while exporting large project

I have an Imac and I'm using final cut express 4. I keep having a problem when exporting project to quicktime conversion for youtube. The software just keeps crashing and giving me an error. I normally only have this proble with projects that have alot of editing or just long files. Sometimes it crashes and then ends up going thru without crashing but I can't seem to get it to work this time. The project I'm trying to export is about 20 minutes. Please help me.

It's not clear to me what you're describing about the upload process. It could be a problem of YT's uploader.
trakaddict wrote:
My final mov. file is 6 GB does that have anything to do with it?
Possibly. If you follow YT's guidelines for a 1080 res video @ 8 Mbps, your file should be more like 1.2 GB.
Your AIC sequence shoud be exported from FCE with current settings. That means it's still an AIC file when you bring that into MPEG Streamclip. Choose Export to Quick Time and in the dialogue window choose h.264 as your compresssion. Check the Limit Data Rate and enter 8000. If your video is interlaced, check the de-interlaced box.
Good luck.

Final Cut Pro X Keeps Crashing - Have tried lots of things

Hi there,
Final Cut Pro Keeps Crashing on me.
I've tried repairing the permissions on my drive , I've also tried logging in as a different user.
I've also instead of trying to import from an external drive - copied the files directly onto my MAC HD and imported from there - but it contiually crashes.
Any ideas?
thanks for your help

What is your system configuration?
Where do you keep FCOX events and projects?
What kind of media are in your projects?
What are you typically doing when FCP crashes?

Final Cut Pro X keeps crashing after trying to import .mov files

I don't know if I have an corrupted .mov file that is making it mess up, or if final cut just cannot handle the movie type. I also tried to import .MTS files into final cut, that may have affected something. Please help!

So there is a single file that you think causes others not to import? .mov covers a lot of possibilities. Where did these clips come from?

Final Cut Pro X Keeps Crashing

So at first I just installed FCPX and I was in the middle of edditing when I got the whirley beachball of death and it froze so I forced quit then I tried to reopen and it the WBBOD came up again and it quit unexpectadly it happens everytime I open FCP about 10-50 seconds into it. I re installed it and still had the same problems! Please help!

Yuck, sounds like it doesn't like a specific project or event.
I would try hiding all events and projects, and then add them back one by one to figure out which one is causing the issue.
This article will help you.
Best of Luck!

Final Cut Pro 7 keeps crashing on my MacBookPro 15"

Specs: Retina 2.7 ghz intel core i7 16gm ram
Does this mean it's time to move on to fcpX or premiere?

Have you trashed your FCP preferences? That is is the usual first step when FCP begins to act in unexpected ways.
Download Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion (free) and it will do it for you:

Your preferences will be reset to default settings the next time you launch FCP.

Final Cut Studio Crash - Just Purchased and Installed - Crashes Immediately

Just installed Final Cut Studio (1).
Crashes immediately after open.
Please help.
I can provide report (code) if someone that can help needs to see it.
Thanks,
Dan

It is Snow Leopard. Don't run SL with your version of FCP. So what this means you have to do is back up all your files, erase the hard drive, install the Leopard OS from scratch (10.5), then fully update, then install FCS, and fully update. And stay there.
If your FCS is an older FCS, you can't run the latest OS, typically.

Final Cut Studio is crashing a lot using a Mac Pro (nehalem) 2009

Greetings,
I have a video workstation based on a Mac Pro (2x2.26GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon Nehalem, 6 GB RAM, 640 GB HD, 512 NVIDEA VRAM) with a Blackmagic Decklink HD Extreme 2009 and an Highpoint RocketRAID 4322 card (properly connected to a RAID 5 array).
I'm editing, with Final Cut Studio 3, a big TV project with some TGA and loads of HD XDCAM EX 35mbs video footage.
*What is happening wrong?*
Final Cut Pro is crashing to many times and dont let me work with the flow that is supposed. I start to work and i do a bit of scrubbing in the timeline and suddenly the rainbow spyral starts to spin and kaput! FCP just crashes.
I've tried to many things. Re-installing everything from the baseline, plug out the 2 PCIe cards (and not even the drivers are installed). Even so FCP still crashes with the project.
Funny thing is... This symptom only happens with the Nehalem Mac Pro. I have another station based on a Mac Pro 2x2.66 GHz Dual Core Xeon 3 GB RAM 2006 and when i run the project... everything works fine. FCP here doesn't crash.
This is what makes me believe that the problem must be with the new Mac Pro.
I have the reports generated by the FCP after the crash. You can find it here:
http://www.ideiascompernas.com/reports/
I'm getting frustrated because i've invested big in this workstation, safe in the knowledge that it was going to be stable to complete my requirements.
Is there anything that i or Apple can do to resolve my problem. Is it the processor? Extended Hardware Test says that everything is ok.
I'll be waiting,
best regards, thanks,
Pedro

Almost always that is memory related, are you seeing parity errors?
Watch System Profile - Memory tab
Replace the RAM (I'd even up it to more memory, 6 x 2GB is what I would have configured for)
Have you tested your RAM? run Apple Hardware Test?
Disabled ALL USB and Firewire devices?
Is the RR4322 okay to run in slot #2 (16x) rather than in slot 3 or 4 (4x)?
Getting RAM replaced, advanced exchange, or go out and getting some Kingston or Crucial etc for your system, and swapping, really is one good method, trial and error, to find the cultprit or rule out RAM.
Errors like this can mean flushing your caches is a must, and possibly due to errors and crashes, clean system install, checking data (both time consuming) and being careful to recheck your drives with Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro 5 to insure there are not any corrupt files (not perfect either which is why restore the system from known good backup image can be a must).

Final Cut Studio crash after OS 10.6.5 update

10.6.5 and Final Cut Studio.
Final Cut studio is not working after 10.6.5 update. Have spinning ball of death on many projects and exports from FCP crash Compressor and DVD Studio Pro (or they crash of their own accord)
Question: Reinstall FCP??
Question: is anything lost when deleting current FCS??
Do not want to roll back to previous OS. Have done too much stuff since, and it's complicated.

Question: Reinstall FCP??
As a last resort, maybe. Have you tried using Disk Utility to repair permissions?
Did you install the ProKit 6.0.1 update? There are some threads here that advise not to do so.
You can find out by opening the Software Update pane in System Preferences and looking under the Installed Updates tab.
Question: is anything lost when deleting current FCS??
The applications, accompanying media content, associated libraries etc will be removed. You will not lose project files or media that you have imported from cameras or other sources.

Final Cut Studio crashing upon opening whenever external drives are active

Hello folks,
I've gotten some great advice on this forum for a while now, through reading other posts. But now I'm hoping I can get some directly tailored advice, as I'm floundering a bit. Thanks in advance for your time, as I've tried to be as thorough as possible in my description of the problems and as-yet failed attempts at solutions.
The project is a full length documentary, and I'm having repeated, regular problems with Final Cut 6.0.5 crashing when I try to open the application.
Now, here are some of the details. FCP will open just fine, if the external hard drives that contain all the media for the project are NOT turned on. However, if the drives are turned on, Final Cut will begin to open, the white box with the application name, registration information, and whatnot will begin, and it will freeze up, hanging there until I force quit. When I force quit, and look at the report, the only information I can get out of it is that the cause is "hanging", though as I'm no expert on reading crash reports, I'm sure I'm missing a lot.
Once I force quit, FCP will not entirely quit. It remains "open", in that I can't open the application again, and my FCP icon in the dock has the little white dot next to it (I'm OS 10.5.6). However, if I eject the drives (which I am sometimes allowed to do, other times I'm told that the drives are still in use by an application), then FCP does resolve its force-quit, and is entirely quit. I can reopen it again immediately afterward with no problem, assuming I haven't turned the drives back on. If I'm not able to eject the drives, then I have to restart.
My workaround so far has been to open FCP without the drives being active, turn on the drives, and then open the project file I want. This works, but seems to be evidence of some serious problems. If I'm opening FCP, and I have the user preference of "open last project upon launch" switched off, why would the hard drives affect FCP? Is FCP trying to read the drives even though it doesn't need any media from them to open in a brand-new project file?
Other issues that have arisen are occasional freezes while in FCP. I will have FCP open (using the workaround), playing fine, and suddenly a click somewhere in the timeline will lead to the spinning beachball. This happens most frequently if I am quickly changing clips, or if I have just brought another application to the foreground and then gone back to FCP. When this happens, and I force quit, once again FCP does not entirely quit, but has to have all the drives ejected to fully quit.
About the drives themselves - I am using 4 GTech 1 TB drives, all of which spin up normally, though two of them are now over 2 years old.
About the software - I reinstalled FCP, and the problems existed beforehand and afterwards. I may do it again.
About the operating system - I archived and installed Leopard, I did not back everything up and zero the drive before installing Leopard.
About the project files - All project files are under 75 MB, most are much smaller. Since it is a long-form piece with over 200 hours at this point, I've been creating multiple projects.
About the render files - I've flushed them repeatedly.
About corrupt files - I've looked through my capture bins and trashed any suspiciously small QuickTime files.
About FCP preferences - I've used FCS Remover a couple times, and the problem reappears.
About permissions - I've repaired permissions repeatedly, and the problem reappears.
About the rest of the system - Compressor won't allow me to submit batches, but from what I understand that is an issue with Apple QMaster. Also, the problems with FCP were there before Compressor was not working. I just today had a problem with System Preferences crashing once it opened, but after deleting the plist for System Preferences it seems to be back up and running fine.
Machine details:
MacPro
2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon
6 GB memory
667 MHz processor speed
FCP 6.0.5
Thanks again!

Editor, Don't Think I've Forgotten <Edited by Host>

Hi Michael,
Thanks for your input on this. I went through several steps, including most of the ones you recommended, and came upon what seems to be the problem (knock on wood).
My editing setup is one MacPro, 4 G-Raid drives, and one Sony DSR-11 digital video deck. After clearing up more space the G-Raid drives to bring them to about 10% free space, things seemed to be running smoother - there were less crashes within FCP. However, I was still getting crashes on opening FCP, at the same "splash screen" point (after all the AE Effects and Video Effects had loaded).
Running Disk Utility on all drives showed no problems, and unfortunately I don't have DiskWarrior (though that may be an upcoming purchase).
It wasn't until I went through your suggestion of starting FCP with the individual drives connected that I got somewhere. FCP would start up fine with one or even two drives connected, but not with three or four. Doing a little research on that brought me to two threads on Creative Cow about G-Raid drives and daisy-chaining:
http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/176/856609
http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/176/856570
Once I put two of the drives onto the rear FireWire800 port, and two of the drives into the front FireWire800 port, with the DSR-11 still in the back FireWire 400 port, my problems disappeared. Huzzah! The G-Raid folks recommend no more than three FireWire devices connected at a time, and lightening the load on the FireWire port by uncoupling the four-drive long daisy-chain has immediately helped. Now, I'll keep an eye on it, and may potentially buy a PCI card if something goes wonky again, but I am very happy to have gotten things up and running again. Cheers!

My final cut studio keeps giving me this error out of memory message when ever i try to render a piece of footage and its closing unexpected. Does anybody know the reason?

My final cut studio keeps giving me this error out of memory message when ever i try to render a piece of footage and its closing unexpected. Does anybody know the reason?

I had this problem about 2 months ago and, as others have suggested in this thread, eventually traed it backed to some stills I had scanned and brought into the project. Accidentally I had changed the scanner settings, with the result that a couple of skills were well beyond 1980 x 1020 pixels. I resampled the stills and everything was fine again. Hope this might help.

All Final Cut Studio 2 products keep prompting for Serial Number

Does anyone know how to fix this?
1) Bought Final Cut Studio 2
2) Installed it with the provided Serial Number
3) Registered
4) Opened each product - was prompted to enter name and serial number
5) Tried reopening stuff like DVD Studio Pro 4, Final Cut Pro etc.. and am re-prompted with the same blanks to enter name and serial number... this happens even when I restart the computer.
What gives?

OK, I just spoke with Apple Care and got it fixed...
I like when things work this well.
Here is my simple translation of what he told me
A) Make sure you have closed all applications.
1) go to this folder:
/Library/Application Support/ProApps/
2) Find any file that has "_SystemID" in the name
i.e. FinalCut_ProSystemID, DVDStudio_Pro_SystemID
etc... These are left over from your previous versions.
DELETE THESE FILES - yes all of them.
Empty the trash too
3) Restart Final Cut Pro and enter your Serial Number
This is nice because now ALL of Studio 2.0 is serialized!
4) Enjoy Final Cut Studio.
Here is a more technical version below:

Troubleshooting serial number issues with professional products
If you're having difficulty entering a serial number when activating your professional software product, keep these tips in mind:
* Make sure you are reading from the original serial number label that came with the product.
* Be sure to enter your first and last name, and verify there are no mistakes in the serial number field.
* Some numbers and letters look similar, so make sure you don't mistake a zero for the letter O and the number 1 for the letter i or lowercase L.
* Enter the dashes in the serial number.
* Make sure there are no spaces before or after the serial number.
* Make sure that the serial number is valid for the product you're trying to serialize, for example:
o Soundtrack serial numbers are not valid for serializing Soundtrack Pro
o Upgrade serial numbers cannot be used with Academic or Not for Resale numbers from a previous version
* If you've already serialized your application and downloading an update causes it to stop working, try removing your System ID file and enter your serial number again. The System ID file for your product is located in
/Library/Application Support/ProApps/
Remove the appropriate file for your product, then launch the application and enter your serial number again.
