MBCC Error At Final Cut Express Startup

Hi,
I have Final Cut Express and recently installed Magic Bullet. It turns out that this is a FCP plugin not a FCE one. So I delete it out of the plugins folder. Now every time I start final cut when the loading screen gets to the Video Effects part it gives me an error message saying:
MBCC ERROR:
unable to figure out your host. Assuming Final Cut Pro
If I click ok it continues loading then the same message pops up but behind the loader.
I have trashed the pref files and, of course deleted the effects in the plugins folder.
help please.
Also If this has been answered before sorry. I looked quickly but did not see it.

I reinstalled the program and then deleted the plug ins in the plug ins folder

  • Out of memory error on Final Cut Express

    Hello,
    Ok so quite often we have to record into iMovie6 live (on a Macbook Pro) so that we can get all the content being recorded without gaps (tapes don't last long enough). After the project is imported (and transfered to my Powermac with FCE on it) I would rather use Final Cut Express to edit everything. So after saving the iMovie project I start a new project in FCE and import the files from iMovie. When this happens the audio always needs rendered and often when I render these files it really bogs down my PowerMac G5 and eventually gives me an out of memory error. After looking at Activity Monitor during the rendering, the System Memory just starts to become inactive and then eventually active until all the memory is used. That's usually when I get the memory error in FCE. I have 1GB of memory and I've added another Gig but the result is the same. It appears this is a problem with the app. Anyone have a clue or any ideas? I am using Final Cut Express HD 3.0.1 on my PowerMac.
    Thanks-
    Adam

    Thanks for the comments however I currently have a project that I am trying to get done and these comments don't help right now. Anyone have any advice to speed up the process?
    I just need to render the audio faster without having to reboot all the time. Any other FCE project works fine when rendering audio, it's just the import from iMovie that for some reason soaks up my memory and causes me to have to reboot to get it back.
    Thank you-
    Adam

  • Final Cut Express HD 3.5 Quits unexpectedly while opening

    Hi all. I have Final Cut Express HD 3.5. I bought it several years ago and used it on my Mac Book Pro (2006 model). I bought an iMac a few years later (December 2009). I can't remember what OS the iMac came with, but it's currently running 10.6.8.
    I recently was asked to collaborate on a video project, so I installed FCE to use on the project. The installation went just fine, and the software didn't seem to disagree with my system, nor the system with the software.
    I then went to open* FCE, and got the following error message:
    "Final Cut Express HD quit unexpectedly while using the Impromptu Analysis plug-in."
    *Note: this is the first time opening the software on this computer after the first time installing it on this computer.
    Here is a shot of the loading/splash screen:
    It tells me that while loading Audio Filters, It comes across a "MOSO: Impromptu Analysis" and somehow doesn't like it.
    Live type and Sound track both seem to work fine.
    THINGS I HAVE TRIED:
    1. the first thing I did was a search of my computer for "Impromptu Analysis," and found a .component (I think) plugin. it wasn't in the traditional audio plugins folder, but within a folder containing the application (Impromptu) in my documents folder My first instinct was "get that thing out of here!!" so I deleted it. problem not solved.
    2.  Did a complete software update of everything, verify and repaired permissions, and still nothing.
    3. uninstalled and reinstalled, and nothing.
    4. Ran software update again.
    5. reboots between each step.
    6. Bid on Final Cut studio 5 on ebay. I've since been outbid (but still watching like a hawk).
    What I don't understand is even after deleting the plugin, rebooting and an uninstall and reinstall of FCE, and it's still messing with the plugin.
    THINGS I HAVEN'T TRIED
    1. upgrading to 4.0 (don't have a disc, and it's not available for a free update, since it's discontinued, is it?)
    2. reinstalling the plugin that's causing the issue
    3. deleting or resetting the preferences of the AU plugins list. (not sure how to).
    my best guess on the problem plug-in is that it is part of an install of the live coding software called Impromptu (http://impromptu.moso.com.au/). But it's blowing my mind as to why it's still messing things up even after I deleted it. I don't think I ever did a proper install of Impromptu, nor did I do a proper uninstall...
    If anyone can point me in the right direction, that'd be super swell.
    Thanks!

    Well never mind everyone. Apparently, Searching your computer for plugins through spotlight doesn't search the plugins folder in either the "Macintosh HD" location or the ~/Library locations.. Go figure.
    I went to re-install the trouble plugin, and to my surprise, I still had 2 copies of the plugin installed on my system. I trashed them, as well as the other 15 or so of their brother and sister Impromptu Plugins, and got the software to open! now all I have to do is figure out what codec/setup to use.

  • Final Cut Express HD version 3

    Ok, I am getting an error that Final Cut Express HD version 3 will not open due to a missing agp card. How can I get around this?

    This worked for my intel macbook
    1. Control-Click on the Final Cut Pro application and select "Show Package Contents."
    2. Open the "Contents" folder
    3. Open "info.plist" with your favorite plain-text editor. Maybe make a backup copy first in case you accidentally save in RTF or some other format.
    4. Change "AGP" to "PCI" under a string named "<RequiredIODevice>" or something similar to that.
    5. Save and close "info.plist."
    Optionally, you can also simply delete the line "<RequiredIODevice>" and the following line containing "AGP."

  • Using Final Cut Express for video editing without attaching external device

    Hello,
    I am a newbie to Final Cut Express as well as Mac's in general. I am wanting to use Final Cut Express for video editing of files, but without an attached camera. Is there any way to have Final Cut Express startup without having it prompt for an external A/V device? I just want to do some basic editing and use the chroma key feature. Can anyone help?
    Greatly Appreciated,

    Hi Zak,
    Unfortunately, I've tried that and I get into an issue that was addressed in this posting: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=836595&tstart=120 where FCE will show the splash screen and then the program doesn't start. I then have to delete FCE preferences and then I will get the Easy Setup dialog box prompt me again for choosing the external device.
    I am looking for a way to use FCE for video editing of files that I already have on my computer that I created using iClone software and is in .avi, or .mp4 format. I get FCE to work one time without the external device actually being attached, but then when restarting the program I get the dialog box asking for the external device and if it's not there, the program just closes, and to get it to work again, I have to delete the preference files and go through the process all over again which is time consuming especially when this is at work. If FCE is not the right program, can anyone suggest a good video editing program that doesn't require an external device and is as good or better than FCE?
    Thanks again for your help and support,

  • 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.

    I can't even open FCE any more because I have moved everything onto the external hard drive including software 'everything'.
    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.

  • Iam trying to import a short video in final cut express and I'm getting this error... File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown.  How do I solve this problem? The video is on my desktop it's an mpg.

    Iam trying to import a short video in final cut express and I'm getting this error... File Error: 1 file(s) recognized. 0 access denied, 1 unknown. How do I solve this problem?  The video is on my desktop and it's an mpg file. Please help me 

    Get a copy of MPEG Streamclip and convert your MPG file to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC).  In FCE, select one of the setups that uses AIC that best matches your clip (say, 1920x1080i60).  Create a new sequence, then import the converted file.
    Note that if your MPG file is actually MPEG2 you will also need the QuickTime MPEG2 Component in addition to MPEG Streamclip. 
    What was the source of the MPG file?  How about if you open it in QuickTime, then do Window > Show Movie Inspector.  Tell us what it says for codec/compression, frame size & frame rate.

  • Disk space error - final cut express 4

    I'm new to final cut express. I color corrected a 60 minute video clip and attempted to export the sequence to Quicktime. It got about 80% complete and stopped due to out of disk space error. I have about 16 GB of remaining internal hard drive space on my macbook pro. I just received the software last night, so I do not yet understand scratch disk setup, etc. Is there a preference I should change or should I export to an external hard drive? I'm attempting to
    import the final clip into imovie and idvd.

    In addition to Al's response,  with only 16GB left on your internal hard drive you are effectively out of disk space.  You need to move stuff off that drive and/or delete what you no longer need.  If you are doing video it is wise to keep at least 50% free space especially if the drive capacity is 500GB or less.
    If you are doing HD video, here are some numbers to consider:
    1 hour source media (video clips) = ~45GB
    1 hour of render files of your 1 hour movie = ~45GB
    1 hour exported QT movie = ~45GB
    1 hour iDVD project of your completed QT movie = 2 to 4 GB
    So your 1 hour project could easily consume 140GB of disk space.

  • HDR CX7 with Final Cut Express gives me error message

    A couple of days ago I got Final Cut Express 4. When I tried to log and transfer clips with my Sony Handycam HDR-CX7, all the clips were there on the Log and Transfer screen and I could play them and all, but when I added them to my queue, it loaded for a few seconds and then an error message came up in the status screen with a little red exclamation mark. It said, "Error: No Data" My camera works fine with iMovie, but final cut won't work with it. HELP!

    There are a number of different causes for the red exclamation mark. Please to a forum search and see if anything helps you.

  • Final cut express error insufficient disk space to render.

    I have my final cut express projects saved to external hard drives. When working on a project and I try to render the file I am receiving the error message of insufficient space to render but I have over 25 gigs on my external hard drive. I can save the file but not render it. I have tried restarting computer and hard drive but problem continues. Any suggestions? I only have 4 gigs of space on my internal hardrive.

    Make sure System Settings is correctly set to the external drive. You do not have enough space on your system drive. It is heavily fragmented and likely to cause serious problems. You should keep about 10% or more of the system drive free for the OS to work with.

  • Final Cut Express 4.01 quits on startup

    Hi, I just installed Final Cut Express 4, updated to 4.01 and I can't get past the startup screen. It quits immediately after. It also did this before I updated it.
    I have tried trashing my preferences. I've done a thorough re-install and still... can't get past that screen. I did a full software update including firmware and then reinstalled, still, no luck.
    I have plenty of RAM and free disk space, don't have any 3rd-party hardware connected, and I have the latest version of Quicktime.
    The only possibility is the graphics card, but I'm pretty sure that meets the specs as well as it does say that Quartz Extreme is supported in my system profiler.
    Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas?
    Thanks very much for your help!

    I know you said you trashed the preferences and reinstalled FCE but did you do it properly ...... most people don't.
    They just delete the .plist and drag the FCE application to the trash.
    This is a complete waste of time.
    Take a look at this short troubleshooting guide:-
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24195?viewlocale=enUS&locale=enUS
    I would suggest deleting the preference files first EXACTLY as described here.
    If that doesn't work, COMPLETELY UNINSTALL FCE as described here and reinstall it.

  • Final Cut Express General Error

    I successfully installed and worked with Final Cut Express 4.0 at the end of last year createing a number of small projects. When I came back to rework those projects yesterday I found that while they will load and appear as rendered files I'm unable to play them as each time I try it generates a General Error (no number)! At that point FCE becomes very unstable and usually quits. I have trashed the preferences, re-installed the programme but have failed to solve the problem. Can anyone shed any light on what has happened. The only change that I am aware of is an upgrade to Quicktime 7.4.1.
    iMac G5 running OS X 10.4.1 FCE Version 4.0

    It would appear that the latest version of Quicktime (7.4.5) has resolved this problem. Interesting that it was after the last Quicktime upgrade that the problem first surfaced.

  • Error: Final Cut Express HD quit unexpectedly.. help????

    Ok, It was working great. Then all of a sudden I tried to open FCE HD from my dock icons and it says "The application Final Cut Express quit enexpectedly. Mac OS X and other applications are not affected." However, this doesn't seem to be true, because now quicktime doesn't work at all, and iMovie will not import anything: audio, video, nothing. I've tried everthing I can think of, I read other discussions here, nothing helped. I even un-intalled and re-installed twice... Can anyone give me a suggestion to fix FCE HD? Thanks. Fat Preacher.

    Disconnect all devices from the computer except the keyboard and mouse. Reboot. Trash your preferences and repair permissions and then launch the applications from the Applications folder at the top level of your hard drive. If it still does not launch the OS has been corrupted. I would advise contacting a service center or erasing the disk and reinstalling the operating system and all applications.
