Help, My final cut wont start...

I tryed to start up final cut after removing my Lacie Drives and it wont work now. Even after putting them back in it still wont boot up. I dont know what to do, I tryed deleting it from my applications and it still wont work. Any suggestions?

What error message(s) are you getting? How is the application behaving when you try to start it up? Are you starting up by double clicking the application or an existing project?

  • Help Please! My Harddrive crashed and Final Cut wont start!

    Hi, I'm new to the forum and I was wondering if somebody could give me some advice on what to do if one's Harddrive crashed, was deconnected from the Computer and now Final cut Express HD asks me to reset volumes when I start the programme? If I do so would I loose any data on my new External Harddrives?
    One of my Hard drives crashed last week when I was trying to burn a movie on DVD and I have a new one now, Final cut used to use two of my Hard Drives, one of which is still working- but it wasn't used as a source anymore when I crashed last week, since it was full...would my new Hard Drive and the old Hard Drive be affected by this command?
    I know it is a bit complicated, but Thank you very much for your help!

    Thank you very much for your reply...
    The problem was the following, my PowerBook has a 60 GB capacity for saving things (please excuse my terminology)...that wasn't enough so I connected external harddrives to save my media files and movies etc etc. The hard drive that contained my media files is fine, but the one with the edited version of the movies crashed and deleted everything. So I got a new harddrive and started over...got no message, imported the media files into a new project and edited again, but this new harddrive crashed again and deleted everything too. So I wanted to start over once again with a new harddrive today and connected both the new harddrive and the one with the media files to the Powerbook, but suddenly when starting Final Cut Express, this message appeared:
    In order not to loose any data this path is neccessary: ''The name of my deleted harddrive that isn't connected to the computer''- missing and I have three options: Quit, Retry or Reset Volumes
    Now I should maybe specify that while I was editing the last time, I frequently got the message that my memory was full and I should choose a different hard drive for FCE to do the automatic saving on, so I selected my larger new hard drive(the 2nd one that crashed) as opposed to the selected one from before with my media files on it, which had reached the end of its capacity (in 'Settings' or 'PreSettings').
    Now my worry is that something will be reset on my old and new new hard drive that I don't want to be reset, but I cant edit my movie if I don't find a solution to this...I'm so sorry about this being very confusing probably...but Thank you very much in advance for your help!

  • FInal Cut wont start up: URGENT!

    Everytime I click on the FCP icon in either my dock or applications, it begins the start up and the little start up info window pops up to start running through all the plugins etc... then it just quits out. No error explanation nothing. It just stops loading. I have a deadline pending so any help ASAP please!
    FCP HD 5.0.4
    Thanks!

    Hi Erika,
    You could try this:
    Move your project folder into your Shared Folder (Users>Shared)
    Create a new profile on your Mac
    Try opening FCP in your new profile
    Reconnect your media
    and hopefully this is an emergency workround

  • My final cut wont let me download my footage.....why?

    ok first let me say that to fix this i can delete final cut and start over however i cant seem to delete all of final cut. the main bulk of it is hiding someplace and i cant seem to get it all. very frustrating. i have used "FIND" and delete everything that had final-cut and yet still the main part of it still was there. if you know how to delete it all let me know.
    but here is the problem. I have a mini panasonic cam and when i go to download. i go "apple8" and then when i try and play my footage. it plays 3 seconds of it and freezes. its not the camera i know this 100%. but i dont know why it does this. i have checked the video pref. and its all correct in audio and video. i need help and im just running out of choices. my last and final is to start my computer totally over because i cant get all of final cut to delete. that would be a super pain in the butt. i hope someone know whats going on or know how to delete FCP 100% so i can start over and down load from scratch.

    What panasonic camera? Tape based, or tapeless? If tapeless, I have a tutorial:

  • Final Cut wont recognize when i push esc when capturing now.

    Final Cut wont recognize when i push esc when capturing now on an uncontrolled device.
    help.

    I have captured from a VHS player thru a camcorder to FCP, but never experienced a Capture Now not stopping after pressing the ESC key. I did a quick search and found a question similar to yours. The following suggestions are mostly from a response posted by Tony Gay:
    1. Trash the FCP preferences. Try Preference Manager for doing that if you don't already have it.
    2. Run Disk Utility and select Repair Disk Permissions
    3. Check your System Prefs, make sure that your Energy Saver settings are so that the system stays awake and disks do not power down.
    4. The FCP preferences will need to be reset. If using Capture Now, check that it is not limited, reset your drives and etc.
    5. Check that the codec of the camera/tape match the setting that you are capturing with.
    6. Try capturing a short piece using Log and Capture...
    7. Try Capture Now.
    The person with the problem posted back reporting that after doing the above, ESC was again working with Capture Now.
    Good luck.

  • Help! Final Cut Pro wont Open, I tried to un install and re install but it still didnt work!

    I have a Final Cut Pro Express from 2006 and all was working fine untill i got an external hard drive and moved most of my projects over there. i tried moving them back to no avail and tried uninstalling and reinstalling final cut and it didnt work! Anyone have any advice on what I can do???

    I disagree an uninstall-install is going to do anything for you. "Won't work" and "to no avail" don't help us speculate on what's wrong with your system. Moving projects should not have caused any issues at all so what you probably really mean is that you moved your media or maybe moved your ssytem or the apps folder or you tried to move FCP. All really bad ideas.

  • Final cut wont open and keeps disappearing while loading

    Since friday, I am trying to open final cut and wont let me, it disappears as soon as it starts loading. I restarted the mac so many times and I have reinstalled final cut and nothing. keeps disappearing.
    any thoughts?

    Before the long winded uninstall / reinstall hoopla, did you just try trashing your preferences? Might be all you need. You can do it manually of course but the free Preference Manager tool from Digital Rebellion handles it easily plus allows you to create preference set backups and more : http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm

  • Help for Final Cut Pro X training book.

    Hello everyone!
    I've recently decided to study to get the Apple Certification for Final Cut Pro X level 1, so I bought the book "Apple Pro Training Series: Final Cut Pro X" by Diana Weynand. Due to a mistake of mine, I bought the edition released on October 2011, knowing later that there is a 2012 version and a new one coming out in just a month.
    I'd like to know if I can still handle the exam studying this book released on 2011, or if I necessarily need to get the latest version coming out sooon.
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    - Alex

    I understand. I don't feel like waiting so much time, so I need to choose.
    1 - Start studying my old 2011 book since I have it here, and see if I can make it before the exam is updated (I have no idea how much time it'll take me to study the entire book though, even if I study everyday).
    2 - Buy the Motion 5 book and get that certification while waiting for the new FCPX book to come out.
    3 - Just waiting for the new FCPX book (which means wasting time waiting).
    Thanks for your answers and patience.

  • Final cut wont render

    I've just come across a strange problem. Final Cut will no longer render out. When I click on render all, render video, etc, the task window bar pops up for a split second as it would when rendering, and then closes. I've tried rebooting, trashing preferences, and still nothing. My Final Cut is 5.0.4. There is plenty of room for render. it just wont. Any ideas? Thank you.

    I don't know if this will help or not but...
    I had a similar issues like this once. My issues were slightly different.
    I work in DV NTSC. I use a lot of effects on my clips. I switch over to unlimited RT from Safe RT (Using the little RT button top left on the timeline) If you're in Unlimited RT mode you don't have to Render Unrendered footage to see it. FCPro will play through it as best it can. It'll be a bit jumpy but at least I don't have to render all the time. The kicker is that FC won't let me "render by selection". I get the same issues your describing. A little render window will flicker on screen for a second and then be gone and no rendering will occur.
    In my case I either need to "render all" or switch back to safe RT mode and render by selection.
    Like I said I don't know if this will help at all but worth a shot.
    Good luck.

  • HELP HELP with Final Cut and Compressor

    Hello
    Hope there is somebody out there which can help figuring that problem out without telling me reinstall because I did that and it did not work. Here is the problem. I want to export my timeline to compressor and compress to DVD90 quality but nothing really happens. I am getting an annoying screen asking if I allow Batch Monitor share (deny or allow) regardless what I do it always comes up. But compressor does not do anything . Final cut does create a separate Tab with a long number but that disappears. Anyway I have discovered when I am sending it to compressor at work and I am connected to the Network there, I am still getting the annoying questions but compressor starts compressing. (that was also before the 6.0.3 update) I had 6.0.2, but here at home I do not have a network. I created a different Network place for home but that did not help.
    Has anybody an Idea how to fix, Apple seems to ignore it, I never had the problem with that in FCP5

    thanks for the answers
    i actually did that and it did work and was actually faster then using compressor the way i did.
    I still got the deny and allow screen but it started to compress it, I had to restart first though the first time the same thing happened nothing at all but after the restart it started to compress.

  • Help with final cut express 4

    Is there a free vignette plug in for final cut express 4?

    Thanks I tried it again and it seems to be working but I crashed like once or twice when viewing the footage. But after starting it up again it is working fine it is jsut that the footage has these white flashes in it when playing back sometimes. I am not sure if it is going to crash again or not hopefully it is fixed. I was just using the hdv setting for 1080i60. Im not sure if it was pal or nstc I just used the basic hdv 1080i60 setting. also do you think I should upgrade my ram and memory? Would that help moving it up from a 1 gig to 2 or 4 when working wwith hd footage now?
    thanks again

  • Help! Final Cut Studio broke Quicktime!

    A G5 at work used for multimedia production started having a lot of problems, including, but not limited to, QT not launching. I erased the hard drive and reinstalled Tiger (x.4.6). QT launched as it should. Alright! Then I reinstalled Final Cut Studio. Now QT will not launch. Neither will Soundtrack. I deleted all QT prefs, installed the ProAppRuntime.pkg (read that in a post in the FCP forum). Did all the things I could find posted in Discussions. Nothing. I REALLY need this computer to be back up and running. Any and all help would be appreciated!

    Sorry for the long delay in replying.
    I'd already tried trashing the QT prefs (it was QT that wasn't working). Alas, trashing the FCP prefs didn't help. I erased the hard drive again and started over. This time I installed OS x.4.5, which is what it was running originally. I then installed the FCS apps one at a time. After some painstaking troubleshooting, it turned out that QT 7.0.4 stopped running the second FCP 5 was installed. Downgrading to QT 7.0.3 fixed that. All the FCS apps were then updated to the latest versions, except for Soundtrack. Even under QT 7.0.3, Soundtrack had to remain at 1.0 to work. As far as I know (it's not my computer), everything works fine now.
    I've since found a couple posts about QT 7.0.4 not launching if FCP is installed. I guess I didn't use the right search term when I was looking for this before having to erase the HD twice! Oh well.
    Thanks for your input.

  • Final Cut wont work on a G5?

    Maybe some one can help me... I have final cut pro hd.. I installed it on my mac and when i went to start it up it said that it could not because I did not have an agp card... I have the pci express...
    I called apple before I purchased the G5 and asked them if Final cut would work and they assured me that it would.
    Does anyone know how to make this work?

    You either need to either:
    1) use the following hack -

  • In desperate need of help! Final Cut Pro suddenly distorts audio!??

    Hi
    I have filmed much with my 7d using a juicedlink mixer and imported it into final cut pro.
    Suddenly when I am editing the sound gets distorted and really high even though the sound waves look fine. It happens mostly in transitions on all my timelines. Here is a video clip of the phenomenon: http://enelesfilm.se/ovrigt/audiofail-desktop.m4v
    Look at the audio meters Why is it like this and how do I fix it?!
    Thank you so much for any help!

    If you open these files with Quicktime and hit command+I QT inspector will show the info you need, however, glitches like the one you are having can often be caused either by unusual/unsuitable clip settings or corrupted preferences.
    If audio is indeed AIFF 48kHz 16 bit and a re-start of the programme does not fix the issue you may want to try [trashing the preferences|http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm].
