My final cut keep on shutting off..please help!

Hi,
Everytime I open my final cut it asks for a registration and then it shuts off.
I own the program, but, I can't get back into it.
Please help.
Thank you!
Renee

Renee,
Trash your FCP Preferences, repair disk permissions (using DiskUtility in your utilities folder and reboot the mac.
FCP will probably ask for your codes again, make sure you put it exact with all the dashes in the right place.
This happened to me a few monthes ago, did you recently reinstall the OS? Perhaps after a your logic board or graphics card was repaired?

Final Cut Pro/Motion Shut Off/Render Errors

I have Final Cut Pro Studio 7. I work mostly with Final Cut and Motion. I have three problems that are occuring on a common basis and I desperately need help.
1) Final Cut Pro constantly shuts down when attempting to render. Mostly when I am rendering Motion files.
2) Motion also shuts down when working in it or it completely locks up.
3) When the Motion files render in Final Cut Pro and I go back to review what I just inserted, purple files show up saying "Render Error In Motion".
I have been trying to figure out how to fix the problem, but everything I do, does not work. Can anyone please help. I have 5 projects I need to get done by the end of next week. Two being due by Tuesday. Any assistance will be helpfull.

First of all, got a crash log? That'd help identify the problem...
When you crash, you get the option of Reporting to Apple? Take that and copy the section of the log with the crashed thread:

That's the kinda thing we need...
Second, what system are you running? What graphics card, how much memory, what kind of projects are you doing? Can you post one of the problematic projects?
More info, please...

Final Cut Pro Randomly Shutting off after Minutes

Every time I open FCPX and begin editing it randomly shuts off after about 3-4 minutes. Regardless of what I am doing. I get no wheel or anything, it just shuts off clean. I am running the most recent update to Lion, FCPX 10.1 with 8GB of ram... this is really frustrating. Any thoughts?

#44: FCP acting weird - Trash Prefs
Shane's Stock Answer #44: FCP acting weird or unusual. Just not like is normally should
If the program was working fine, and now isn't, or just isn't working the way it should, the first things to do are:
1) Trash your FCP preferences. Download the appropriate version of FCP Rescue at http://www.fcprescue.com and run it.
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/trashing_fcpprefs.html
2) Open the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
3) Shut down for 10 min. Go for a quick walk around the block and get SOME exercise today. Come back, turn on the computer and see how things are.
4) (optional) Do the Hokey Pokey and turn your self about. Results may vary.

Final Cut Crashes on macbook pro, please help!

Hi!
I just bought Final Cut Studio 3, but Im having some issues. Final Cut Pro 7 crashes at startup, everytime. Motion 4 crashes when I click on "file". Color and DVD studio works okay-ish (I havent tried them out extensively)
Could this be due to my macbook pro 4.1 not being good enough? I have 4 gb ram, 2,4 ghz, and I dont think it has integrated graphics, so it seems to pass all requirements.
Please help me! I paid lots of money for this program, so it would be a shame if I cant get it to work.

Hi Mads,
These are the specs recommended by apple.

Also, do you have any third party filters/effects loaded.

Final Cut Express: Audio question. Please help!

Hi, I'm new to Final Cut Express and I have a random question.
I have a 2 minute video that I put into my timeline sequence. I added photos over some of the video and now I decided that I want to delete the rest of the video and audio since 2 minutes is too long. Well, now it will allow me to delete the video but not the audio. Does anyone know how to make in/out points for just the audio? and to cut it? Every time I make an in/out point, it only allows me to do it for the video. Now, I have this two minute-long audio that I need to get rid of that I just can't seem to delete/cut.
If anyone out there can help me, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks.
~Alice

You're making In and Out points in the timeline right? Make sure the autoselect buttons are black for the tracks you want to select.

Can't open Sony PXW-X70 (.mxf) video files for Final Cut Pro X or iMovie, please help!

Hi there--
Just got the Sony PXW-X70 and I can't seem to open the .mxf or even successfully transcode the video files into something that can be read on the mac. (Running 10.9.5)
I downloaded Brorsoft Video Converter for Mac and the Ackrock Video Converters and neither of them work. They just are able to import the audio but not the video portion.
Very frustrated here, any advice? Thanks!

The clips from the X70 are not XAVC-S, but XAVC (sometimes called XAVC-L) and the plugin from Sony linked above is not compatible with them. I also don't recommend those sketchy third party conversion options. Still, as of mid-December, the best options for getting Sony X70 XAVC clips into FCPX are:
1. Use the free Sony Catalyst Browse to convert them (one at a time, although you can queue up multiple files without waiting for the previous one to finish)
2. Use the $200 Sony Catalyst Prepare software
3. Shoot AVCHD until there is a solution from Sony - supposedly Sony is at work on a plugin for FCPX to allow native ingest/editing of these clips. I've read that it should arrive very soon, but we'll see.
I'm using option 1 - $200 is ridiculous, and I didn't buy a camera with 10-bit 4:2:2 and a strong codec to shoot in AVCHD
If it's any consolation, Avid and even Sony Vegas will not import them either.

I'm trying to listen to a track on youtube, whilst reading the lyrics from a different link. as soon as i click the next link, the youtube shuts off. please help

How do I listen to a track on youtube, whilst accessing a different link for the lyrics? each time I try, the music stops as soon as i clic the next link. this never happens on MS Explorer

Hi ..
Flash is required for most YouTube content.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Now open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
Click: Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that doesn't help, go back to System Preferences > Flash Player > Advanced then click Check Now. There may be a Flash update available.

Final Cut Pro Won't Open, Please Help

Hello everyone,
I had my main hard drive started to fail, but I was lucky enough that
I was able to clone the drive with Data Rescue II.
The majority of my files were ok. I had to do a reinstall for some
things. Which brings me to FCP. Whenever I try to launch FCP, I get the launch window, I get the window where everything is loading, then it just stops. I have FCP Studio install disk. After a couple tries, I reinstalled the software, and the same thing.
I deleted the Application file and the System ID file.
I reinstalled and updated, tried to launch, I have deleted the
application file in Application folder, reinstalled. and again
nothing.
One thing that I have noticed is that even after I deleted the Apps and System ID files, when I go to reinstall, it still says upgrade? Is there a file(s) that I am missing.
I am on a tight deadline, and any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance
Dual 2.5 G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Welcome to the forum S. Dot! You are lucky seems to me...
Try trashing your Preference files for FCP using this: http://fcprescue.andersholck.com/ If That fails, you could try creating a new user to give it another go with... BUT:
Funny, the same thing just happened to me. I used Data Rescue II as well. I've saved data several times for clients too, but in no case would I trust the clone that Data Rescue would deliver... I'd be starting over though with a fresh install of OS and applications. Be happy you've saved your data though, it can be copies over to a new startup disk.
I'd build a new startup disk from the ground up. Install OS X, Run Software update to get to the latest, then install the Studio, and run Software update again to get to the latest... then install other apps you need to. Using a different drive other than the one you are using now... that way you can copy over from the clone you're working with now.
You'll only need previous serial numbers for FCP when you install any of the upgrades. Just install the latest vesion you have.

Final cut will not shut down stays in the dock and I have to reboot

Final Cut will not shut down ..... stays in the dock and I have to physically reboot

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean by stuck in Dock.
You reboot your Mac. Is FCP trying to open automatically (the icon bouncing)? Or is it just visible in the Dock?

My final cut keeps on closing down after about 10 - 15 minutes of editing and deletes my progress it has done this about 6 times now and was wondering if anyone had had this problem and overcame it?

What version of FCP X are you using?
What is the full spec of your Mac?
What codec (file format) of video are you working with.

My iphone 5 keeps randomly shutting off and won't turn back on unless I plug it in to the charger

my iphone 5 keeps randomly shutting off and won't turn back on unless I plug it in to the charger

I'm experiencing the same issue. It's one thing to have to re-power up but to not be able to do so without plugging in the charger when the battery is substantially full, is a real drag.

I lost my i-phone 4s yesterday night around 7.15 p.m i am keep on trying to reach my number but still the mobile is switched off,please help me how to find it

i lost my i-phone 4s yesterday night around 7.15 p.m i am keep on trying to reach my number but still the mobile is switched off,please help me how to find it

The only way to locate any lost/stolen iPhone is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.

How do I delete movies from iTunes library? I have moved them to the iCloud and now only seem to have the option to hide the icon in iCloud. I am sure I chose poorly at the 'keep file' window. Please help. My Brain hurts- 18 movies need to go-.

Instead of removing the music from the cloud or the iTunes library why not shuffle your music using a Smart Playlist which excludes the holiday music, or tracks that are not checked. For example, use this very simple Smart Playlist:
