New FCP effects causing crash

With the latest version of FCP we've been given some cool new effects that used to live only in Motion. My problem is, every time I try to apply one, FCP crashes. Any ideas on what might be the cause or how I might go about troubleshooting it?

That's the kinda thing we need...But only the crashed section, not all the threads, libraries, etc - like the example above.

Featured news composition widget causing crash?

It seems there is a problem with the featured news widget. Actually several... First, you are unable to replace the photos by clicking on a folder icon at the top like you can do with slideshows. To get around this, I just deleted the stock images and filled the frame with a new image, so that’s not too big a problem, it just seems you should be able to somehow change the existing picture rather than deleting and adding a whole new image.
The next issue I encountered is that I can’t edit the bars to the left together. I am having to go to each individual “bar” and change all the states. Also, when I clicked the plus button to add new “bars” it would add only blank bars and a blank frame to the right, so I would have to copy the text box from the bars above and paste them to the new bars, plus also copy the stock image and text from one of the first three boxes to the right and paste that as well to each new box. It seems that when you click the plus button it should fill in the same contents as the “bar” above it, right?
Then, the major issue: once I changed all the states and had it all set up, I tried to save the site and it gave me an error message and didn't save any of the changes I had just made. I know a lot of other people have had this happen. Luckily this is pretty much the only change I made to the site since the last time I saved it, so it makes me think that somehow the widget is the problem and reason for the crash.

Hi Zak,
Many thanks for your 'correct' and prompt answer. I tried to make it CORRECT on the Forum, but after clicking the link, did not know where to go since this is my first time using this forum.
As it turned out, I was indeed using the font (Georgia) but did not realize that this particular font can also be used as a System font as well. So I chose the wrong Georgia font which was the System font. I corrected this issue throughout and made doubly sure that I used the Web Font Georgia.
Many thanks again for your help and assistance.

New logic board causing CRASH?

I just got my G5 back from the shop - the logic board crashed, so i got it replaced.
Since getting it back, my machine is completely freezing on me regularly - particularly when I use Mail.
A friend mentioned that this may have to do with the new motherboard having conflicts of some sort.
I am desperate and working on a deadline - can anyone help me!
PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

take it back, all I can say.
sorry to hear about your problems.

Visiting Google News in Safari causes Crash!

Okay, something weird has started to happen today on my machine (1 GHz 12" PB G4, OS 10.4.2). When I visit Google News in Safari, and click on a news link, everything works fine. Then when I try to go back, I can no longer access the network. I'm networked via AirPort Express to a DSL line.
But here's the weird part--Safari is stuck, but then this seems to also crash everything else. When I try to open an application, I get bouncing but the application fails to open. No warning messages are produced. Similarly, I can try to shut down or restart or switch users, and although the dialog boxes pop up, I cannot actually complete the request. I cannot monitor processes. The whole system is hosed and I can only restart by pushing the power button.
This has happened three times today, and has not happened before. I have reset Safari and run Disk Utility to no avail. My next thoughts are to try to reproduce this behavior on another user account, and then to run the Apple Hardware Test (I don't have it immediately on hand). Oddly, no other type of browsing seems to do this--it is quite specific to Google News, and even then only when I try to return to Google News from a linked site.
If anybody has any suggestions, I'd really appreciate it!
{509}

No, I am saying Google News is unREADable.
The system demands an RSS reader, suggests getting one in the App Store. Got two so far, neither of which wanted to show me the news from Google.
The lastest ($1.99) said "Sorry, blogs catalog is not yet available. Use RSS URL field."
Huh?
So, by now I realize Safari dropped its own RSS reader (the blog that announced that refused to tell me why, instead referring me to still another site . . . as though those of us missing such a device hadn't already visited enough).
The previous RSS attempt (free) just kept telling me to get an RSS reader, and showing me ads for things I didn't want or need.

New Numeric Keyboard Causing Crash

I've just bought a new iMac Intel (Duo not quad) and opted for a numeric keypad keyboard. However, I'm still using Adobe Suite of software, in particular Photoshop and each time I (instinctively) use the numeric keypad (as this seems to work with the calculator and not as a fully functional keypad like on PCs), photoshop freezes, in fact, each and every time I use the numeric keys on the side keypad the entire computer freezes and I have to Force Quit and power backup, shut down and power on. Other than getting used to not using the numeric keypad which I'm used to using on a PC and for which I purchased this keyboard for (regrettably) - is there a solution? Would any one know why it would do this? Other than this problem, Adobe Photoshop CS2 (I know, its an older version) works well and a lot quicker than on my old G5 (though my old G5 didn't freeze with it - a little slow but no freezing). Is the keyboard faulty? Inferior? Will I have to succumb and update my software?

Thanks Leddy - I think an upgrade of software is in order however, after a little more experimenting it seems my keyboard is faulty...the numbers 0 - 9 do not work on the keypad area - I've tried this in 'Pages' and 'Numbers', on the calculator and just in general. If I do use the keys in these applications, no numbers show but the computer doesn't freeze in these applications as it does in CS2. I did the system reset as suggested on another Apple blog area, unplugged the power cord, waited, and also tried an alternate USB port all to no avail. Back to the retailer I go I think...
Thanks for your prompt advice.

FCP 2 upgrade causes Crash

I have many videos created in the older version of FCP and now, since I have upgraded to FCP 2- it crashes every time I open a previously made project and do anything to it. I used it the day I installed it, and it worked fine, but since adding FCP 2 filters (bloom) every project having any new effects crashes the program everytime. Anyone know whats going on?
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

are you using BM HD Decklink capture card?
I heard it's been crashing FCS2 due to a driver issue.
(I have the HD extreme in an unopened box- and still deciding if I want to install it)

After Effects CS5 crashing when I try to make a new comp

First it was crashing when I imported files, now I fixed that but it's crashing when I try to make a new comp (may affect other things too, that's just what I noticed). It was working fine for 3+ months until now and I haven't had anyway software or hardware changes. I recently installed a video copilot plugin, but it was working for a few days then started crashing.
I'm running on a Core i7 950 3.07ghz, 6GB DDR3 1600 RAM, 500gb SATA harddrive, and a GTX 465 graphics card.
It didn't give any error message, the only info I got was a windows message saying to look in my temporary app data. I looked herebut there was just a few XML files that listed my computer specs and a few AE stuff. I deleted them and it still didn't work.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Daniel

Have you installed the After Effects CS5 (10.0.2) update? The recent updates fix a lot of problems.
> I recently installed a video copilot plugin, but it was working for a few days then started crashing.
Which one? There have been problems with Video Copilot plug-ins causing crashes. Make sure that you thave the most recent updates.
Try not using that plug-in, and see if you still get crashes.
Also make sure that your graphics card drivers are up to date.

After Effects CS6 crashes, causing my iMac to restart

After Effects CS6 crashes, causing my iMac to restart.
I want to buy AE CS6, so I downloaded the 30-day trial version.
I followed all the instructions to install it properly and followed several tutorials to optimize it for my computer.
This is what I use:
iMac 27''
CPU:
3,2 GHz Intel Core i3
memory:
16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
archive:
1 TB
graphics card:
ATI Radeon HD 5670 512 MB
operating system:
OS X 10.8.2 (12C60)
we are filming with:
Canon 5D Mark II
File format:
QuickTime (.mov)
Based on everything I've read, my iMac has all the system prerequisites to use AE, and all the other programs that I use for video and audio recording and editing ( Final Cut X, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Photoshop CS6, etc. ), work perfectly, run smoothly and never crash.
After Effects CS6 crashes constantly, causing the computer to restart. It seems to run smoothly, then I start a render and it crashes; or I start a color correction with Curves and it crashes. Each and every time the computer restarts by itself.
I've tried rendering smaller portions of video at a time, sometimes it finishes the rendering, sometimes not.
Hope somebody can help me! Thanks.
Hilary

Your post is not much use to anyone. You are not telling us anything about your operating system, storage locations, output settings and whatever else may be relevant. The magic sauce is all in the details, not a generic assumption that this would be some bug or known issue.

"Replace with After Effects composition" in PP CS6 causes crash in AE CS6

Hello,
When I right click on a movie-file in a Premiere Pro seqence and choose "Replace with After Effects composition" AF starts, it asks me what I want the file name to be, "save" this and go on. I can see the interface for a short while, then it crashes and closes. In PP I get the error "The importer reported a generic error"
I have the latest versions of both PP and AE, downloaded from Creative Cloud.
What can I do to solve this?
By the way - when clicking on an audio track, "Edit in Audition" is greyed out... Problems with Dynamic link?
Regards,
Håkan
WIN7, 16 GB RAM Intel Core i7 920 @ 2,67GHz

Fuzzy,
I have now tried what you told me (and some more), without any success;
- Cleared all the files in the named folders
- reinstalled After Effects
- deactivated and reactivated the suite
Every time I try to:
- right click a video file in PP and choose "replace with...."
- copies a video file and pastes into AE...
AE crashes.
When I copy into AE it works until I drag the clip to "New composition", then it crashes.
Hopefully you, or anyone else, have more suggestions. I really need some rain on this clip...:)
UPDATE:
I have now tested with other footage, An MPEG-clip from my Sony (.m2ts) - this works well, both when I copy and paste, and when I use the "Replace..." within PP. The clip can be played in timeline without any problems.
Using the "Replace..." also works well "back in" PP - the effects are there when switching to PP.
However - when I add an XDCAM-HD 422 Movie (.MXF) file to this project it is ok, I can scratch (is that the correct english for using the mouse to "browse" the file in timeline?) this file in a comp, but as soon as I press "spacebar" to make it play "by itself", AE crashes.
Regards,
Håkan

After effects instantly crashes while using opengl with nvidias new drivers 178.24

Since I installed nvidias new drivers 178.24, after effects instantly crashes while using opengl. Anyone else experienced this?
I have Geforce 8600 GT.
As a minor note, I had major problems with the new quicktime 7.5.5 update, both After effects and Premiere got problems with interpreting footage and frames here and there got the "missing frame" look. I also got more problems so I uninstalled it instantly. Is there a major problem with the update or a major problem with me?
Thanks
/ Olle

I use Vista (in retroperspective this was probably a mistake, but the company wanted to test the capabilities with Vista when we bought the computer a year ago). And specs are:
*Graphics: Asus Extreme GeForce 8600GT SILENT 512MB DDR3 TV-out HDTV DUAL DVI RETAIL PCI Express
*HD: Samsung HD501LJ 500GB 7200rpm 16MB SATA2

Sorry not to give more info on the Quicktime problem, I don't remember exactly what more problems there where as we have had extremely much to do these last couple of weeks and I just freaked out and uninstalled it as soon as the problems emerged. I do remember the frame issue however, it was very clear, i imported an image sequence in premiere and everything worked fine, then i updated and frames were suddenly dropped, then i uninstalled and installed 7.5 again and it worked just fine. I also tried to flush the cache, restart and generally search for the source of the problem for a couple of hours.

Effects causing Illustrator crash

When using some effects, a crash seems to occur. For example, when I use a dropshadow effect, Illustrator crashes. Any tips on fixing this? Im using 16.0.4. Thanks

Nobody can say anything without system info, details on your documents, effect values used, raster effects DPI setting and so on.

ITunes new purchases causing CRASH! consistently

Hello,
This is a consistent problem/bug. Everytime I purchase new content (movies and/or tv shows) from the iTunes Music Store, while iTunes is trying to download the new content, it causes my computer to freeze up and I have to manually power off. This has been going on for a few weeks. It will work (download) for about 30 minutes, but eventually and consistently it will freeze my computer and cause a manual reboot. This is only when I'm downloading new content from the Music Store. I have all other applications closed. This is strictly an iTunes problem. I'm using Snow Leopard with all current updates (10.6.2) on a 24" iMac, intel Core 2 Duo, 2.8GHz processor, 4GB ram.
Please help

Fortunately for me, the folks at ITunes restored the lost episodes to me - but I would still like to know if anyone has any words of wisdom about what I can do to prevent this from happening in the future.
