Final Cut unable to open

So I've got a problem.
I had to restore my system to its factory settings, and I got Final Cut Pro 5 a few years back when I was in High School from my video teacher, under one of those education packages that works for like 15 or whatever different computers to install FCP. So it's a very legal copy.
When I had to restore, I knew I couldn't reinstall the program, so I had to move FCP to my External Hard drive. I had been running it off my external anyways for a while and it worked fine, just because I needed the space on my internal for applications I had to run without the external. But after I restored and installed Snow Leopard, I can't open FCP. I had back'd up my computer with Time Machine before the restore, so I put the Application Support files from the backup back into my Library>Application Support folder. But it doesn't open, but this time it gives me the error code and what not. So if this helps anybody, here you go.

I took a look at it and couldn't really find what was going on, so any help is appreciated.

The Final Cut software that I had installed was also the same software that we were running on our Macs at the high school. 3 of those Macs were iMacs with Intel processors. I didn't think I had been running FCP that functioned on the PPC Operating systems, because it's the same software that was working on the iMacs, but now that I think of it, we had PPCs running it too. I hadn't had any issues with it other than the occasional random crash that was solved by a program restart. If it was PPC based, wouldn't it -not- let me install it on the computer? Like I said before, I had been running it on my laptop with ease for a couple years with no large problems.
I had an issues like this when I tried to boot up my Adobe Photoshop from Hard Drive after I restored, and it was solved by taking my application Support folder and some other random files from my backup and putting them in my library. I assume that the movement of files is the problem and I'm just missing some minor things, but it says I'm running a PPC version of the software?

Final Cut unable to open, suggestions?

Hi all,
So this morning when I tried to open my project, I was asked for the serial number. Which is unusual, but I did it anyways, and now every time I open final cut it crashes in the opening screen. I have no ideas. Anyone have suggestions? I'll post the text from the crash box below, and i don't know if it matters, but we had to install a new ethernet card this morning, and the first one we tried to put in on friday had LOADS of issues, so we got a different one this morning. it seems to be working fine, but i'm wondering if something strange got destroyed in the process. Thanks for any help
austin

Final cut pro wont open after installing universal upgrage

my Final cut pro wont open after installing universal upgrage, I installed just the FCP 5 from the universal disc i got from apple now it wont open goes almost all the way then simply quits without explanation
I am afraid to instal the other apps for fear I would lose everything
whats causing this?

Download and run FCP Rescue. It fixes a lot of things.

Final Cut Crashed and then corrupted the file. So Final cut wouldn't open up. I tried reloading the backup, trashing the prefs file, systematically going through the 3 previous versions and opening them by themselves one by one to no avail.

Final Cut Crashed and then corrupted the file. So Final cut wouldn't open up. I tried reloading the backup, trashing the prefs file, systematically going through the 3 previous versions and opening them by themselves one by one. I found Final Cut now loads but each of the backups and files in the previous 3 versions won't load. I've worked on the project for 3 weeks. Im suprised the backup files won't load either!?! I've only rendered 1 low res version. I am thinking I will have to rebuild the project in Final Cut 7. That is simply too risky to have all my back ups not load up!!

I'm a little confused by this?
Final cut now opens if launch older projects. But if I actually click on the project it crashes. Im not sure what you mean by events? I've moved them from the events folder.
but when I open up and of the projects the FInal Cut opens but then wont load the project even with no events in the FInal Cut Events folder.

Final Cut will not open up? Help

Hi all,
I have many projects on in final cut pro. I went to open it up this morning and final cut will not open. I see it trying to load and then it does not open. Can anyone please give me any ideas on what the problem might be.
Thanks,
Wildmangoose

Well, you first need to determine whether it's Final Cut that won't open, or just one project. To determine that, you can either trash the preferences or create a new user Account and log into it, then try opening Final Cut from the new Account.
If it opens, then you know FCP is OK. If you've done that with a new Account, then log in to your original Account, and take the media volume offline. I'm assuming you have all your media on a separate volume from your boot volume.
With the media volume offline, try to open that project in Final Cut. If it opens, then you have a corrupted media file, either a captured file or a rendered file.
You then then to find the corrupted file by the process of elimination. More on that later. For now, try the first step and report back.

Final Cut to NOT open on older project every time

Is there a way to have Final Cut Pro NOT open on the last project all the time. Sometimes I just want it to open fresh without taking 5 minutes (exaggeration) to open the last project I worked on. Thanks so much!

I should have seen that. Thanks. Although what I really want is an option like when you open Aperture or iTunes with the option key held down you can select what library to open instead of the default. Usually I want it to open the last project but sometimes I don't and it is a pain to have to wait for it to open all the timelines and then close them all down again. I know..... I want I want I want. Thanks!

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.

I was importing media, and closed out of the media before stoping the media import. This is how the file saved on the hard drive.
I need to get this file into a format that FCP can open. Is there a way to export a .FinalCutCopy file into a .mov file???
Any insights would be VERY HELPFUL!

I was able to figure it out. I renamed the file type to a .mov format and quicktime was able to open it. Then I saved that file format on the desktop, and imported in after I opened FCP. The file then imported and I was able to access the whole video clip I had! Thanks for your help!

Itunes, Imovie, Final Cut ALL WONT OPEN

So i have recently deleted my quicktime, and then I tried to re-install.
When i tried to re-install, It told me that quicktime was already on my computer so i went and searched for allll quicktime components i could find and trashed them, thinking i could completely remove it that way and then re-install.
Now, my ITUNES, my IMOVIE and my FINAL CUT, well basically anything that uses video or audio wont open at all. It says it quit unexpectedly but it doesnt open in the first place.
I SOMEHOW managed to install quicktime 7 but it wont open either. I guess i deleted something important, I just wish i knew what it was so i could try and restore it.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!

(Time Machine NOT set up)

You now need to reinstall your entire operating system from the original install disks.
You will also have to reinstall all Apple applications that install "add-on" QT components, as well as, any third-party components you may require. Depending on your specific method of re-installation, you may also have to purge PLIST files as well. If you really messed with the QT structure imbedded in the OS rather than simply deleting player apps and components that support the imbedded structure externally, I personally would back up all projects and data files I wanted to keep and then wipe and test the hard drive before performing a complete "clean" install. And, even if you only deleted the superficial apps and suppornt components, you will likely have to re-install the packages that would replace everything you've removed and stil may have to purge the PLIST files to get the replaced apps to open properly. Even then, you may come across some broken links to certain components owing to some apparent inconsistancies the in installation/re-installation and software upgrade work flow. (E.g., you may end up with the wrong or a non-functioning iMovie '08/'09 "AppleMPEG2Codec.component" being installed.) In short, as Klaus1 indicated, you may have opend a real "can of worms" from which it may be difficult to extricate yourself.

Final Cut won't open for a project

I can open Final cut Pro HD But I cannot open my project After adding 10 Livetype titles. Every time I try to open the project the application crashes at 13% of reading the project. I can open other projects but not this one. The Project is only 30 minutes long. I Tried going into my library and deleting the Com apple final cut pro plist and the data folder but it did not help. I also deleted the livetype titles that I created off of my hard drive and I have have the same problem. Does anyone Know how to delete Livetype titles from a project without openng Final cut pro or how to resolve this problem. Please Help.

Should I delete all of the render files for that project. One thing that I did do, since I worked on the project from my G4 laptop on a Lacie External drive, I tried opening the project up on my g5 desktop computer where there was no render files and the project still would not open. Is there any kind of way to delete livetype titles from the project without opening it.

Final Cut Express not opening, error says final FCE disks are missing.

Hi there,
Recently I got a WD Fire Wire 800 Hard drive for christmas so I could move all of my final cut projects over to the HD.
When I moved my final cut express documents including all of the folders it now says this error.
To preserve the integrity of the data used by final cut express, it is necessary to ensure the existence of the following paths;
- My HDD Chris is missing
Then it gives me the option to reset scratch disks, check again or quit.
So I'm not sure what I do.
Should I simply move back all the folders and documents that I moved to my hard drive (btw I tried this but it still gave the same error message). I have deleted final cut express 4.1 and re installed 4.0 to see if it works but it didn't and has the same error message.
Any tips would be helpful.
Chees, Chris.

You moved the software? You can't do that. That's fatal. The software must be on the system drive as it requires system resources. Move the application called Final Cut Express back into the top level of the Applications folder. Do it move it, rename it, or put it inside a folder.
Do not assign the scratch disk to a folder anywhere. If you want the scratch disk to be on your external drive select the top level of the external drive. FCE will create the folders it needs in that location.
Hi,
When you say move the application final cut express into the application folder.
Do you mean move my folder of final cut express that I moved onto my HDD?
If so it's copying the 20GB folder as I speak. Hopefully fixes this frustrating problem..
Cheers, Chris.

Final cut 7 wont open after final cut x install OR 3rd party software

I had installed FC x a week ago, did all the steps, even got FCP 7 to open... if I remember correctly. I came back from a short week off and now I cannot get 7 to open. It starts up loading the drivers and then I get the warning sign "Final cut quit unexpectedly" and I can send the report or ignore etc.
I'm not sure if this was an issue from final cut x or if it is because of a driver download I made from sony today. (link below)

Motion 4 opens, DVD studio Pro opens, FC x opens. I tried trashing the prefs and that didn't work
Any other ideas? Do I need to reinstall 7?
Thanks for your help.

Repair permissions in Disk Utility. If FCP continues to crash…
why not trash FCPX and see if FCP7 then launches?
Either way, it won't take very long to download another copy of the new app.
Also – Digital Rebellion's Pro Maintenance Tools has a Crash Analyzer. There is a trial version so you can evaluate.

Every instance is different. There is no single fix for everyone.

Then come back and do this:
Please give your full system specifications, what computer, what drives, what camera or deck, how everything's connected, what settings are on the media, what settings you're using in FCE, and finally what version of the software, of the OS, and of QT are you using?

Final Cut fails to open, network users?

I am having the same issue as this discussion ( https://discussions.apple.com/message/12447873#12447873 ). I have done everything that was stated in this discussion. I have a lab with 20 21.5" iMac (Late 2009) all running 10.6.4 and FCP 7.0.2.
As stated in the previous discussion, this is occuring with multiple users on multiple iMacs. The users log in with their network credentials to authenticate against a windows server 2008 DC however the user account data is stored locally on the iMac HD. The iMacs are also joined to a xServer running 10.6.8 server and the iMacs are part of WOrkgroup Manager. When a user encounters he issue, I need to go into the users homefolder (on the iMac) user>Library>Preferance>Final Cut User Data>Final Cut Preferences and I delete that file. That user can then launch FCP and it will work correctly until they quit FCP. The next time that use opens FCP it goes through the launch scree and then quits. ( No error logs, just dissappears). If I have that user log out and then log in as a different user it will work fine (Again this user has their home folder saved to the local iMac HD but is using their AD crediatials to log in.)
Any thoughts or ideas how to resolve this issue? Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!

Final Cut won't open project, stops at 0% or 1% while reading project

Smaller projects will open, but all of a sudden this large project (with HVX-200 HD footage) which I've been editing for several months won't open. Final cut opens fine but when it starts to read the project, it never gets passed 2%, and I have to force quit. I am running the project off of two lacie 500GB drives. What should I do?

Duplicate the project on the Desktop and try opening that.
Try opening your last autosave - resave and try working off of that.
Good Luck
