Unable to load Final Cut Pro

I just did an auto-update last night of FCP, and this morning am not able to start the program. I have not had this problem before, and have been using FCP for the last month or so. The error I got was that it may not be able to laod "nsTODimporter plug-in". Time-Of-Day? Come on, what's the problem here.
I am now re-installing the whole application. This is a joy when you have a lot to do, and little time to do it.
Any thoughts from anyone? I guess the first thing to do is not update FCP when it says there's an update out there.
Agree? Disagree?
Thanks for any input.

The problem has been solved, with a little pain.
The original problem (Final Cut Pro would not run after performing an automatic update of the OS, FCP, and many other apps) was related to the JVC component "nsTODimporter.component", which is an MPEG2 component used in QuickTime to allow you to convert JVC's compressed HD movies into apple MOV files.
The problem had nothing to do with FCP (I didn't know this to begin with when I created the first thread entry here).
The problem had to do with an update to the OS. Before the update, I had OS 10.5.1 After the update I had OS 10.5.2.
As it turns out, the JVC component is valid for OS 10.4.6 thru OS 10.4.8, and is not compatible for OS 10.5. BUT, the component worked for OS 10.5.1 because Apple allowed compatibility for many components for 10.5.1, but took this compatibility away for 10.5.2. to (per Apple tech support).
So, the steps I performed, and outcomes of the steps:
(1) Re-install FCP studio.
This took a long time, and didn't solve the problem.
(2) Run Repair Disk Permissions
This didn't fix the problem, which lead me to believing that this was not a permissions issue.
(3) Delete the FCP Preferences file
This didn't fix the problem.
(4) Create a new admin user on the machine, and try to run FCP from this new user.
THIS WORKED! So, the problem was specific to the user.
(5) Go back to main user, and see if FCP would now work with original user.
It still did not work.
(6) Find the plug-in and remove it
The plug-in was a Quicktime plug-in. Removing the plug-in fixed the problem. The plug-in allows you to convert JVC MPEG2 files to MOV files using Quicktime Pro.
Now that I have things back up and running, I have turned off the update function for the mac. Hopefully I won't have this problem again.
An an additional note, if you are using FCP, I recommend never buying the JVC GZ-HD7U camera. It seems like a nice inexpensive HD camera, but it's not worth the trouble required to allow you to use FCP for editing. I unfortunately didn't have the ability to use a better camera for the project I am on.
Thanks very much to those that replied.

How many computers can I load Final Cut Pro on

If I purchase Final Cut Pro x how many computers can I load it on? Can I put it on my desk top and lap top?

In regards to FCP X on more than one computer --- currently with the older versions of FCP, if I try to launch FCP on a 2nd computer (that I own) it prompts me that I cannot launch the application on more than one computer at the same time. Does this prompt appear in FCP X as well if two computers try to use FCP X at the same time?

Can't load Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 2004 onto Macbook Pro Laptop 2010 says error Galtstal

hi does anyone know if it is possible to load a new unopened Final Cut Pro HD version 4.5 dated 2004 onto a macbook pro dated 2010. i receive error message
Galtstal missing!

Well, you're in the FCP X forum and you should post this question in the Final Cut Studio Forum here: https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/final_cut_stud io
But I can tell you that your MBP has an Intel processor and FCP4.5 was designed to run Power PC machines. So, unfortunately, you can't.
You can verify that on the FCS forum.
Good luck.

Unable to install final cut pro on mac pro computer

Hello,
I started to use my new MacPro (Please see specs. at bottom of Page) and tried to install Final Cut Studio but never succeeded. I never can go beyond disk “apple loops for soundtrack pro.” the application “installer” quits unexpectedly each time. Does anyone has had the same problem? I would truly appreciate any help on this matter.
Thank you,
sandrine

You'll be needing the univeral version of FCP (FCP

Might clean the disks... if that fails and you do
have the Unversal version, Call Apple. Could have a
bad disk, and new install issues over the phone

Final cut studio disappeared after loading Final cut pro X

After I loaded FCPX my FCS disappered n my computer wont let me reload.....what happend to Final cut studio n how can i reload it?

Did you launch from the dock? If so check your Applications folder. If you installed correctly FCP 6/7 should now be in a folder inside the Applications folder

Final Cut Pro has quit on me.

Very abruptly this evening, I was unable to open Final Cut Pro at all. Same with Soundtrack Pro, DVD Studio Pro, and Motion. I don't know what could have caused it. Can anyone offer any advice? Thanks in advance.

One thing I didn't notice in the other posts, but did you do any upgrading of operating system or applications recently?
If you did, you might want to make you are current with the proapps, etc.
Check these two links:

and let us know.

Final Cut Pro 4 won't work on my new Macpro

I just bought a brand new Macpro and loaded Final Cut Pro v4 that I used successfully on my G4. It came up with a message that said, among other things, that I need a AGP Video graphics card for this software to work, and my computer did not have it.
Is it necessary to upgrade to the new Final Cut Pro 6 by buying the Final Cut Studio 2, and will that software work on my MacPro? Or is there an AGP Graphics card I can buy and install?
Thank you.

If you do a search in this forum, you'll note that there are many posts regarding problems with FCP 4 and Intel Macs. Primarily, FCP 4 was released before the Intel transition and was written specifically for the Power PC processor. In order for a program to work natively on an Intel Mac, it needs to be Universal. Final Cut Pro 5.1 is the first Universal version.
There are also a number of reports regarding incompatibility with FCP 4 and Quicktime 7.
Final Cut Studio 2 works really well on our MacPros here, so it may be worth the upgrade for you.

IHDPro/MBCC Error: Unable to figure our your host. Assuming Final Cut Pro.

So I have just installed FCE 4 and am encountering error messages upon start up. The messages read as follows...Message 1: "IHDPro Error: Unable to figure our your host. Assuming Final Cut Pro" as well as Message 2: "MBCC Error: Unable to figure our your host. Assuming Final Cut Pro."
The first message initially appears upon FCE's loading of its video effects. I am given the option to press OK...so I press OK. FCE then loads a couple more video effects then that same first message reappears. I am again given the option to press OK...again I press OK. This happens one more time (for a total of 3 error messages of the first kind) until FCE loads a couple other video effects then displays the error message of the second kind. This error message displays twice, to which the OK option are offered by FCE and accepted by me both times. FCE finishes loading and all is ok.
This issue was last brought forth on and only on this forum in December of last. The link to that topic can seen here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6097916#6097916
I'm unable to tell whether the issue was resolved since the topic has been archived (preventing replies) and due to the fact the the individual (Richert Goyette) who encountered this same problem has not listed an email to which I'm able to ask him of his resolution.
Thank you for your time and effort in aiding in this matter.
P

I don't know whether this will help but the first thing to try when FCE does anything wrong is to trash the preferences exactly as described here:-
http://www.fcpbook.com/Misc1.html
If that doesn't work you could completely uninstall FCE 4 as described here and reinstall it:-
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301182
You can ignore the LiveType and Soundtrack items.
You might also want to trash FCP 6's preferences as well.

"Error: Final Cut Pro was unable to read the movie file just captured"

Hello everyone!
We had a computer crash while we were working on Final Cut Pro and backing up some media to a hard drive.
Since then, whenever we "capture' video footage and hit the escape key to stop capturing - we get -
"Error: Final Cut Pro was unable to read the movie file just captured"
We reinstalled the Final Cut Pro software all over again thinking that maybe the software got corrupted and we also rectified any disk permissions for the hard drives.
Any ideas?
Thanks

You eventually want to figure out how that happened and make sure you fix it.

You reformatted the external drive, yes? You might not have used the correct initialization setting. Should be Macintosh HFS, journalling is optional. Or you have a drive formatted for Winderz.
Aside from incorrect drive formatting, we have seen this error if the capture is incomplete or improperly terminated.
It's not an FCP issue, it's hardware.

I have recently downloaded final cut pro and i'm unable to access cinema tools. I understood this would be a free addition when purchasing FCPX?

Thanks for responding Tom. Yes I was trying to conform frame rates, I found a few threads/youtube tutorials that all used cinema tools. Now I've spent some time in FCPX I can see where you can conform.
Appreciate your help.

Loading New Easy Setups in Final Cut Pro 5

I want to load the extra easy setups for the sequences in Final Cut Pro. Specifically I need to 24p presets. I have located the files but can anyone help me with a tip on how to get these .fcpre files into the program?
Thanks for any reply!

They are all there.
When you create a sequence, click on the settings menu choice and elect to load preset.
On launch, there is a "show all" button you can check.

Loading fonts into FInal Cut Pro 5.0.4

Is it possible to load addtional fonts into FCP 5.0.4?
I loaded the font into all the font folders I could find and still they have not shown up in the Final Cut pro fonts? I restarted twice?
Am I missing some hidden file that I must load the fonts into?
Thanks for your help

There is no provision for loading fonts into FCP. Use FontBook to add fonts; choose to make the fonts available to all users so they'll be installed in .[boot drive]/Library/Fonts.
But even with that, FCP won't see just any font. FCP seems to be partial to TrueType Data Fork fonts.

Is it possible to load Final Cut X and Final Cut 7 on the same macbook pro?

I already have Final Cut X on my MacBook Pro and I tried to load Final Cut 7 on there and after it said install complete I checked and it was not in my applications but the peripheral applications were. Is it possible to load them both on the same mac?

You must install Final Cut Studio first, run all updates and then you can install FCP X.
Go to digitalrebellion.com, get a free copy of FCS Remover and use it to uninstall FCP X.
You can then install FCS and download FCP X again -the AppStore knows that you already paid for it.
FCS will be moved to its own sub-folder in Applications.

What do I do when Final Cut Pro 4 crashes when loading audio filters?

When I try to start Final Cut Pro it crashes while loading the audio filters. I have upgraded through the years to FCP HD but trashed that and reinstalled FCP4.0. I also trashed preferences file and everything else other forums suggested. I ran preference manager but no luck. It hasn't opened for several months. I am running OS X 10.4.11 on a dual 1.8 GHZ Power PC G5 with 2.5 DDR SDRAMM. Thanks in advance for any help.

I downloaded Audio Manager and disabled the plug ins it found(which were in a different file folder) and lo and behold FCP loaded. I guess now I need to enable each one at at time and find out which is the culprit. Thanks for your help.
