Final Cut Studio Crash! Why?

Hi,
I am working since a few years with Final Cut Pro 5,0,4.
Suddenly the application doesn't open anymore. The other Studio apps even don't.
Does somebody have an idea?
Thanks for help.

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 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.

Suddenly I can't run my Final Cut Studio Programs-why?

All of a sudden when I try to run any of my Final Cut Studio applications I get the following: PROTECTION ERROR...CANNOT CONTINUE..ANOTHER APPLICATION WITH IDENTICAL SERIAL # RUNNING ON ANOTHER COMPUTER ON YOUR NETWORK.
Alas, I'm not on a network and there are no other programs running. So what can I do to set the Tiger's brain straight?

By running Disc Utility, I found a number of permissions were in need of repair. Repairing them fixed the problem.

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!

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

I see you have the GT120, not a very nice card really but maybe it is 'enough.' I'd upgrade. To ATI Radeon 4870, once you get it stable and working.

I see your crash is kernel panic actually.

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).

Why Can't I Install Final Cut Studio?

I have a MacBook Pro which is about 12 months old. It has a 2.66GHz Intel Core i7 Processor and 8G of RAM. I have been trying to install Final Cut Studio 5.1. Yeah I know that is an OLLLLLLLLLLLD version. Why I chose not to update is neither here nor there. I was about to update when Final Cut Pro X was realeaded and FCS vanished into the ether. I really only wanted DVD Pro but when that wouldn't install I went back to Square 1.
The specificationa as stated are:- "These discs contain the files required to install Final Cut Studio 5.1 on either PPC or Intel based Mac computers."
The error message that shows up on the screen when I click on the install package is:- "You can't open the application Final Cut Studio pro.mpkg because Power PC applucations are no longer supported."
This is despite the stated specifications and the fact that there is a Universal Icon on the discs.
I am also having a simillar but not the same problem with iLife '06 but i'll start another thread on that.
I'm confused, thanks for your help in advance.

Your problem is you are running Lion as your OS (10.7) and Lion does not support Rosetta which is required to run the INSTALLER of FCS 2. If you were running Snow Leopard, you would have been able to do the install.

Why won't my final cut studio 2 open on my iMac

Why won't my final cut studio 2 open on my iMac after I have installed all the disc?

Nope.
Just download Preference Manager (Free) from Digital Rebellion at:
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
It will allow you to archive your current settings before you trash them, in case you want to return to them for some reason.
Then trash your preferences and restart Final Cut.
It will see there are no existing preference and will create a fresh set.
Hopefully this will allow you to compete the launch.

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.
jennymanning

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.

"Motion 4" icon greyed out after upgrading to Yosemite - Did Yosemite break "Motion 4" in Final Cut Studio?

Against my better judgement (now that Apple has turned into Microsoft 10 years ago, breaking apps with every OS update, followed by radio silence from Apple, pretending like they didn't do anything), I just upgraded from Mountain Lion to Yosemite and noticed that my Motion 4 icon is now greyed out. Thanks Apple.
I still do the majority of my work in Final Cut Pro 7, with many, many, Motion 4 projects embedded in the timeline (so that I can change them in Motion and have them seamlessly updated in my Final Cut Pro project), including an unfinished feature length documentary on gay and lesbian history from 2000 BC until 1900 AD. Should I just throw the entire film into the rubbish bin? I would presume that Motion 5.1.2 is incompatible with Final Cut 7? So what am I supposed to do now?
1 - Downgrade to Mountain Lion (or heck, why not Snow Leopard?)?
2 - Switch to Adobe Premiere?
3 - All of the above?
Thanks (for nothing, Apple).

After some peacefull time my system crashed completely on Friday!
I installed all from Scratch to make sure its not some old stuff that I carried on during migration.
It's not a problem with the motion files as I deleted all of them and XML export is still crashing!
The situation is, that after installing it all I got the same quicktime translation error again and I am quite angry about how Apple handles clients who are working on projects with the recent FCP story.
Unfortunately due to the problems in exporting XML I am not even able to switch to Adobe Premier as this is the only way to import there.
After a lot of testing I am quite sure, that this issue has to do something with an Apple Update release between June 2011 and now.
Conclusion: Final Cut Studio II is not working correctly anymore as it did before June 2011!!! Apple, Please fix this issue asap.!!!!

MacBook Pro will not load Final Cut Studio 2 Install disc?!

So, this is the first time in all my years as a Mac user that I haven't been able to find info online about a problem I'm having with my machine.
Firstly, I've never had optical drive issues. Secondly, all other disks I try are still loading and playing perfectly (including other disks in the FCS2 box, e.g. the tutorials).
BUT when I insert the Final Cut Studio 2 Install disc, the drive sounds like it's trying to load the disc over and over, but it never gets spinning properly. The disc doesn't appear in my finder and after about 30 seconds my MacBook just spits it back out.
I've restarted, I've closed all other apps etc. but nothing helps.
Also, this same disc works fine in my parents' 17" MacBook Pro...
Please someone tell me what the **** is going on

You have probably already done it but ensure you have updated the OS and Quicktime prior to attempting to instal Final Cut Studio.
I recently had a hard drive crash and after installing the new hard drive it would not read the OS installation disc. I ended up using an external drive case and installed the OS on the drive from a different Mac Book, then reinstalled the hard drive in the other Mac Book. Then it booted right up. I updated all the original software before attempting to install any additional software.
Everyone kept saying it wouldn't install due a possibly defective optical drive and I can't say why but it wasn't the drive. As soon as I had the system up and running again the optical drive functioned flawlessly.
I hope this helps you.

Final Cut Studio Upgrade/Crossgrade Nightmare

Hopefully someone here can help me, because I'm facing a huge problem thanks to Apple's horrific upgrade/crossgrade nightmare with Final Cut Studio.
After some forum surfing here, I've discovered that upgrade/crossgrades were offered some months ago, but not anymore. I think this is outrageous on the part of Apple.
Here's my situation:
September 2006 (Australia): Bought a spiffy G5 / 23" Cinema HD machine with Final Cut Studio (5.0). Spent over $8,000. Used and loved and used and loved.
April 2007 (New Zealand): Bought a spiffy MacPro / 23" HD. Spent another $8,000. Can't used the software because the new machine is intel/Rosetta. Can't "crossgrade" because the offer's gone. Have to upgrade to FCS2. Cool. I will. But it's not here in NZ for a few more weeks, and I need FCP NOW!
What do I do?
How do I install and run my Final Cut Studio 5.0 on the new intel Mac? Where do I go to get the "crossgrade" (what a load of crap, by the way... to make customers who spent thousands on software have to pay to use it on the new machines) now that the links are all redirecting to FCS2??
Any advice (URGENTLY) would be most appreciated. I've been on hold with Apple for 20 minutes already. Cheers.
MacPro 2.66Ghz QX Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Really? The upgrade was no secret? Maybe for people who sit online and read everything there is to know about this stuff... but I've been busy using FCP 5.0 for a year and a half on a PPC machine. How am I supposed to know that when I buy a new MacPro everything is going to come crashing to a halt? I've had better upgrade experiences with Windoze machines (and those have been pretty horrific--the appropriate and suitable word here--too)!
And why exactly should I have to pay $700 USD for the privilege of using MY software on a newer machine? I have no problem paying the upgrade price for Final Cut Studio 2... it's a new product, better features, etc. But to pay it to use software I bought a year and a half ago on a new machine? The "crossgrade" should be FREE. Yes, I know that's a bad word in the Apple world, but if you're going to do a shift in technology, it's completely disrespectful to your customers to present them with a situation of being unable to use what they've paid dearly for. Honestly. It's one of the "benefits" Apple uses to SELL their computers -- whatever happened to It just works, and You can use all your old stuff?
Mate, you don't have to sympathize with my position. But after spending $18,000, I think a reasonable solution to this problem is fair and warranted.
If anyone else has any suggestions, I would very much appreciate them.

Final Cut Studio 2: Requirements and Recommendations

Hello Final Cut Studio 2 Experts,
I'm considering purchasing Final Cut Studi 2, and to make sure that I'll benefit from the full range of specific application (FCS/motion/color...) and I'd like to ask few questions (5 main points) regarding requirements and recommendations. So, please be prepared for much reading as I am not an expert on the matter. I like to know if my computer accepts any further hardware parts highly recommended and if I can purchase and install them myself. And yes, you should also know that I intend to use a Panasonic multi-format (HD/SD) camera for capturing and exporting videos.
N.B. Please note that the full list of my Hardware contents appear at the bottom of this text.
THANKS IN ADVANCE for your expert advise!

Is it unlawful to sell my used final cut studio version 3 software?

I had listed my software at eBay after deauthorizing it from my Mac Pro. Was I under a contract with Apple that prevented me from reselling the software?(I'm afraid I don't have time to read pages of fine print.) Here's the message I just received from eBay after the closed my auction:
You recently listed the following listing:
300791938347 - Apple Final Cut Studio Version 3 (Version 2 Retail plus Version 3 Upgrade)
Your listing has been removed.
Your item was removed because of a request we received from BSA (Business Software Alliance) (US), a member of our Verified Rights Owner Program (VeRO), asking us to remove the item for:
- Software offered for sale is in violation of an enforceable license agreement, which constitutes a copyright infringement.
If you have additional questions or concerns on why your item was removed, please contact BSA (Business Software Alliance) (US) directly at:
[email protected]
Please allow 7 days for BSA (Business Software Alliance) (US) to reply to you.
All listing fees associated with the removed item(s) have been credited back to your account.
The rights owner or an agent authorized to act on behalf of the rights owner, BSA (Business Software Alliance) (US), notified eBay that this listing violates intellectual property rights. When eBay receives a report of this type of violation, we remove the listing to comply with the law.
Copyright infringement is unlawful and against eBay policies. Copyright is the protection provided by law to the authors of creative works, such as movies, music, software, photographs, and books, both published and unpublished. Copyright owners have the exclusive right to reproduce the copyrighted work, to distribute copies of the copyrighted work, and to perform or display the copyrighted work publicly.
eBay doesn't allow the listing of unauthorized copies of copyrighted works. Unauthorized copies include backup, pirated, duplicated, or bootlegged copies.
If the product you are selling is a copy of another work that you aren't authorized to copy, don't list the item. eBay doesn't allow the sale of software if this violates the manufacturer's copyright license. Some common types of software with license agreement restrictions include:
-- Academic software: Software that is sold at discounted prices to students, faculty members, and educational institutions
-- Beta software: Early copies of software that are distributed by software developers for evaluation, testing, and troubleshooting purposes
-- Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) software: Software that is included with the purchase of new equipment such as a computer, digital camera, or printer
You may need to obtain the manufacturer's consent to sell this software.

You may need to take a tutorial. The next time you sell, you may be asked to take the tutorial, if it's required. Once you've completed the tutorial successfully, please review your account status for any other possible concerns. If there are no other issues, you should be able to sell again.

Please be aware that any additional violations of this policy may result in the suspension of your account. eBay understands that you may be concerned about this situation. We encourage you to contact BSA (Business Software Alliance) (US) directly if you have any questions.
You can send an email to: [email protected]

Although there may be similar items currently listed on eBay, we review all listings that are reported to us by eBay members or Verified Rights Owner (VeRO) program participants. We rely on reports from our members to help maintain the safety and security of our Community. We encourage you to report any items by using the REPORT THIS ITEM button on the listing so we can quickly remove any other items that should be removed.

eBay heavily "overprotects" copyright owners.
The BSA is hired by Apple to look out for copyright violations. They simply go after everything without any investigation. eBay plays along and so you are the one with the problem to do something completely lega.
Here is the relevant section of FCS's SLA:
3. Transfer. You may not rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute or sublicense the Apple Software. You may, however, make a one-time permanent transfer of all of your license rights to the Apple Software to another party, provided that: (a) the transfer must include all of the Apple Software, including all its component parts, original media, printed materials and this License; (b) you do not retain any copies of the Apple Software, full or partial, including copies stored on a computer or other storage device; and (c) the party receiving the Apple Software reads and agrees to accept the terms and conditions of this License. All components of the Apple Software are provided as part of a bundle and may not be separated from the bundle and distributed as standalone applications.
This means that you are allowed to sell the package if you are the original owner of the software.
