I open final cut and...
Hello, i really need help here! I open final cut in the brand new lion and what happens is that the program seems to go to an invisible window… when i open mission control it is there, but if i click in it… gone again! anyone?

Yuck, sounds pretty frustrating. I would start by doing a split half troubleshooting approach.
Using this method: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4740 I would hide all projects and events
Launch FCPX and see if it works correclty.
If it does, start by moving projects back one by one, quiting and launching FCPX between moves.
It may be a corrupt or bad project. Then do the same for events.
If you narrow it down to one event or project, starting removing files inside those folders to figure out which one may be causing the issue,
Good Luck!

Cant open Final Cut Pro

Hi can anyone assist please. i have just deleted a years worth of files from various projects I have worked on to completely clear the system on my Mac pro. I now want to ingest more recent footage and on trying to open up Final cut pro a window appeared stating that there was a problem with one or more scratch disks and asked if I wanted to reset the disk which I did. I then tried to open final cut and it starts to load up gets 5 or 6 seconds in then stops. Could i have possibly deleted a file that Final cut requires to open or operate? As you can probably gather I'm ok with the editing side of things but not the removal of files.

>Could i have possibly deleted a file that Final cut requires to open or operate?
Sure, it's possible. You may have to reinstall if you did. You can use this app ( http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/ ) to uninstall the app properly, then reinstall from the install discs.
But you may not have to go that far. When you try to launch FCP, does the splash screen come up? If so, watch the splash screen to see what process or plugin FCP is loading when it stops and let us know.

I just updated my RAM and I keep getting a crash report. I have a 21.5 Inch mid 2010 imac. I also am experiencing slow load times and when I try to open Final Cut it says that quartz extreme is not compatible and that I have no VRAM even though I do.

I just updated my RAM (replaced the two 2 gig cards with two Corsair 8 gig cards) and I keep getting a crash report. I have a 21.5 Inch mid 2010 imac. I also am experiencing slow load times with Photoshop and when I try to open Final Cut it says that quartz extreme is not compatible and that I have no VRAM even though I do.

There have been a few reports on here where Corsair RAM seems to have caused users a lot of grief with crashes.
The recommendation on here, mostly, is to only buy RAM from macsales.com or crucial.com as they guarantee their modules will work and offer a no quibble lifetime guarantee.
I'd put the original RAM back in, return the Corsair chips for a refund and re-order from one of those two companies.

When i opened final cut pro x, EVERYTHING WAS COMPLETELY GONE, i had about 4 years worth of footage and editing what do i do please help!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

when i opened final cut pro x, everything was gone.

so this means that all my work isn't completely gone?
Your work will still be there, you just have to go through Updating your older pre 10.1. stuff to the new Library model way of doing things.
Follow Tom's suggestions to the letter and things should go smoothly.

When i open final cut pro x when it starts loding the projects it shows the spining beach ball and is stuck wat can i do?

when i open final cut pro x when it starts loding the projects it shows the spining beach ball and is stuck wat can i do?

Possible corrupted project or media fies. Here's what I'd suggest.
First trash preferences. If that doesn't work…
Move your Final Cut Projects folder into a folder named Hidden Folder. See if FCP then launches. If it doesn't hide your Final Cut Events folder. Once FCP launches successfuly, create a test event and project.
To track down the problem, successively move load events and projects from hideen to their proper location and open FCP. When and if you get the crash you have hopefully located the problem.
The easiest way to do this is to purchace Event Manager X ($5).
Good luck.

I can't open Final Cut because of huge project

Hey everyone,
I'm working on a timelapse project in 10.0.9 on my MacPro5,1 with OSX 10.9 (13A603). I have the OS, final cut and the project and event files running on a 240 solid state SATA drive within the tower. AND lastly I have 16gb of RAM
So basically my problem is that this timelapse project is about 33gb large and when opening Final Cut it lags for anywhere between 2 and 5 hours to open. Once it is open I have to wait for the project to load which takes no time at all (1 minute or so). But when I start playback, pause and then try to play again I get the spinning beach ball of death.
I know my project is immense, but this can't be the biggest project of all time. Especially with the new RED cameras and RAW 4k footage. So what am I doing wrong? I don't want to throw out and start all over, but at the same time I know that that is a possibility that I'm going to have to cope with.
Also I've done the Repair Permissions, Repair disk and cleaned many extra unnecesary files within the computer already. So that's not an issue.
Can anyone help me? I'm supposed to have the project done by this Saturday, November 30th, 2013.
I appreciate any and all help.

For a start try trashing the preferences with this free app.
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 and the job is done.
Perfectly safe as the preferences are separate from the app and when you re-open FCP X it will create new ones.
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.

Wont let me open final cut studio-missing hardware

when i try to open final cut studio a message comes up saying missing hardware 512mb ram, but i have this on my computer.
do i need more ram?
what will make it work?
any help would be greatfully appreciated

Welcome to the forums.
Yes, you need more RAM. FCP needs MINIMUM 512 MB Ram, and your system right now is taking up half of what you have. 1.5GB is the min RAM I recommend for running FCP. 2.5GB to be comfortable...3.5GB to be stylin'.

Final Cut and After Effects "file is busy"

Hello All-
I am running Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 and After Effects 7.0.1 Pro (on OS 10.4.8) and I have a question. I have a series of After Effects animated DV Quicktime clips edited together in Final Cut, and when I make changes to the After Effects project files and try to rerender, I get an error:
After Effects error: unable to overwrite - file is busy (delete) (-47) ( 3 :: 3 )
It's like Final Cut is "holding onto" the files and not allowing After Effects to rerender them. If I close down Final Cut, I can rerender just fine, but this gets real annoying closing it down and restarting it every time I need to rerender a clip. The problem is, because of my workflow, I need to do this dozens of times a day with clients in the room and I'm spending a lot of time closing and restarting Final Cut over the course of a day... is there way to do this without closing down Final Cut?
I assigned After Effects to be the "External Editor" for "Video Files", and used Final Cut's "Open In Editor" command. It sends the quicktime file to After Effects (not exactly what I want) and you would think that at this point Final Cut would have relenquished its access to the file so that I could rerender in After Effects, but nope, I still get the error. I have tried this with the User Preference setting "Always Reconnect Externally Modified Files" both on and off, no difference. I have also tried "Embed Project Link" in After Effects's quicktime output options, but this didn't help anything (I believe this only affects other Adobe apps).
The weird part of this is that when I drop a Photoshop file onto the Final Cut timeline, I can do "Open in Editor", it throws it to Photoshop, I can alter it and save with no problem, and pop back into Final Cut and it will be updated. But no such luck with Quicktime files and After Effects.
Let me know if there is a solution to this, or if I am stuck having to shut down Final Cut every single time I need to rerender one of the After Effects animation clips in the timeline.

What i have to suggest is more of a work around than it is a solution. i've had this problem off and on as well. What i do is add a number to the name of the newly rendered file, (ie. "monkey_throwspoo2.mov") import that file into FCP, open it in the viewer, and then copy it (apple + c). Provided it's the smae length as the previous file, you can right click on the previous file in the timeline and paste attributes, making sure to click on the content button for video (and audio if there is any). This should replace the old file in the timeline with the new one. Granted, you end up having a bunch of files that you're not using, but it's faster than restarting Final Cut (and looks more like it's something you're doing on purpose rather than a problem with the program to your clients). Hope this helps.

I have a MacBook Pro , Model Identifier MacBook Pro8,2 , MAC OX S 10.7.4
I noticed that if I open Final Cut Projects created on other/older models MacBook Pro Laptops or MacPro Desktops, the fonts used in the previously created FCP projects, change their font spacing! which distorts the look of the Text that was written, by oevrlapping on other things that were put & present on the screen.. Another similar probelm is that the Vector shaped used for example to highlight certain words or shapes, also change their position on the screen so that they no longer highlight exact things that we once used these vectors to highlight or outline... Anyone knows how to solve this problem please?? I made sure that the same fonts are available in the Library in both old and newer computers...
thanks in advance..

You might want to take your question to the FCP forum - if you copied all fonts to your Library>Fonts folder and restarted they should be recognized by all applications. I know that this works for Adobe products, anyway.

Can't open Final Cut Pro after the migration

Two problems
Never migrate a pro app.
In your case the underlying issue is v5 is not compatible with intel processors
The solution is to purchase the upgrade to the current version, erase your hard drive and install the system and pro apps fresh from the disks

Ok, I thought I could do a project in my new Final Cut Pro X. I got everything downloaded on Final Cut and I made my Project. The problem is is has taken so long to render that I don't have time. How do I download the video from Final Cut to Imovie?

Your media is stored in Final Cut Events folder > "name of event" > original media. The Final Cut Events folder is in your movies folder or at the root level of an external drive if you are using one to store your media. Simply open iMovie and under file menu select import movies. Navigate to the original media folder and import your clips to Imovie event library.

Trouble opening Final Cut Express

I'm borrowing a friends imac while my macbook pro is off for service. When I first got it the Final Cut Express worked perfectly. Now whenever I try to open Final Cut Express I get the message that the camera is not connected and when I tell it to continue it shuts down suddenly. I've tried to open it with the camera connected but it does the same thing. I've also tried to click on a saved project and open it but that didn't work either. Does anyone have any idea of what might be going on?
Thanks

Thanks for answering. The imac is a 1ghz pc g4 with 256 ram. The Final Cut Express says that is version 1.0 (not for resale) so it must have come loaded on there from apple. I'm not sure how I could trash the preferences. The program doesn't stay open long enough for me to get in there. I tried to go to preferences when the message came up that it couldn't find the camera but it was grayed out. And once I click on continue that's when it closes down.

I cannot open final cut X

I cannot open final cut. I got a message saying my HD was full and I needed to delete files in order to continue, so I did but since then I have not been able to open Final cut x. All I get is the mac loading wheel. Any ideas why I can't open it?

Thanks again for all your help Tom,
Have now trashed and then reinstalled the application, it is opening. It now stalls when it is trying to load my previous projects.
I realise now what I did wrong, I deleted files from 'All my files' that fcpx is now trying to find, that is why it was not opening to begin with.
How do I get fcpx to open with all the files that it can find, without stalling while trying to find projects that it cant find?

I open final cut and...
