Why can't I open final cut pro x

I moved one of my libraries in FCPX and haven't been able to open the program since. It starts to open, then just sits on "resoring with window layout."
HELP!

Thanks, Russ. I figured it out. (Google is a wonderful thing.)
Apparently, when I was moving things around -- yes, in Finder -- I messed with the folder that saves your preferred window layouts for each project. I didn't even know that existed.
Basically, I followed the steps perscribed on the FCPX site, which had me locate the layouts folder, deleted the folder, and opened Final Cut from scratch. Once I deleted the folder, it opened on the first try...and I could breath again.

  • Why can't I use final cut pro 7 with Mavericks?

    Why can't I use final cut pro 7 with Mavericks? Is any one else having problems? All my media is reputedly "offline" even though I can see all the files. Using the reconnect to media function doesn't do a thing. All of my previous projects are the same. Any ideas would be most welcome!

    Because it is $299.99, and there is tax.

  • HT2736 Why can't we gift Final Cut Pro X?

    It's nice to be able to gift movies and books and whatever, but why can't we gift larger apps? I want to get FCPX for a friend, but I have no "Send as Gift" option to do so in the App Store (whether from my laptop or phone). Now, I have to get him to bring me his computer, then send him a gift card for the amount, then go on and buy the app for him with the credit. So incredibly tedious, not to mention LAME. At the risk of interfering with your fingerprint scanner R&D, would you please rectify this?

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Suppor nor Apple.
    Final Cut Pro X is a Mac app, it's not available in the iTunes store (this is the Using iTunes forum). As far as I know you can't currently gift any apps from the Mac App Store (I can't here in the UK).
    If you want to leave feedback for Apple then you can use the feedback page : http://www.apple.com/feedback/

  • Why can't I add final cut pro sound effects?

    I am wanting to add a sound effect or background music to my video but I can't access it through final cut pro x.  I see the only option I can add music through is iTunes.  It doesn't give me any other folders.  I even tried to drag in the folders from the finder (because these sound are in my computer) but that didn't seem to work. Please help!

  • Why can't I install Final Cut Pro X on my second computer?

    I've bought and downloaded final cut on my main computer, but my second one (both iMacs!) can't download - App Store says I have to buy before I can download. By the way, before I upgraded to Mavericks, final cut was available for download. I did, however, not download it - thought it would be best to upgrade the OS first. Bummer.
    What to do?

    log-in with your AppStore account on your 2nd Mac .......
    most probably, the OS update cleared some cookies ....

  • Can't open Final Cut Pro after the migration

    I bought a new iMac (21.5 inch: 3.2 GHz) and migrated all the files from my old iMac, which I brought in 2006 or so. When I tried to open Final Cut Pro (Version 5.0.4), an error message shows up and says "Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly" and I can't even open the application. Here are the details. Can anyone help me fix this problem? Thanks.

    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

  • Can't Open Final Cut Pro X

    I can't open Final Cut Pro X.  The problem seemed to start when I deleted some old backups.  Help?

    Close FCP X and re-open holding the Option key.
    This will allow you to create a new Library, do so.
    If the newly created Library works OK then there is a corruption issue in the current one that doesn't open.
    Try a backup, usually found in your Home>Movies folder.

  • 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 have AVI files that I need to be MOV files so that I can edit them in Final Cut Pro. I am going to use Quick Time Pro for this....do I have to 'export' it or can I just 'save as', or is there even a difference? Thanks in advance for your help!

    I have AVI files that I need to convert to MOV files so that I can edit them in Final Cut Pro. I am going to use Quick Time Pro for this....When I have the files open in QT Pro do I have to 'export' it or can I just 'save as', or is there even a difference? Thanks in advance for your help!

    I strongly recommend you use compressor to do the conversion (if it will open the files - since quicktime will open them, it will more than likely do it.
    Compressor allows you to customize presets and save them and apply them to multiple files.  Although the interface may seem daunting, it's actually pretty simple.
    Even if you can edit the avi in fcp, it's not a good idea.  Liable to cause problems down the road.

  • Opening final cut pro

    to whom it may concern,
    i am working with only wmv files, which already is a hassle in itself. whenever i open final cut pro it prompts me with a screen that says "importing" on it. i figure final cut is importing all of the wmv files from previous projects or maybe information from the scratch disks, im really not too sure but it is kind of an inconvenience every time i want to open final cut up. ive turned off the "open previous project" in the settings. is there anything else that can be done because that does not seem to work. thanks.

    Hold down the Shift button whilst opening FCP and you'll start with a clean FCP, no previously opened projects.

  • 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.
