Why won't my final cut pro 7 open anymore?

The load screen starts up but after a certain piont it dissapears and says final cut quit unexpectedly.  I already tried to reinstall it but it still happens. Please help.

Nope.
Just download Preference Manager (Free) from Digital Rebellion at:

It will allow you to archive your current settings before you trash them, in case you want to return to them for some reason.
Then trash your preferences and restart Final Cut.
It will see there are no existing preference and will create a fresh set.
Hopefully this will allow you to compete the launch.

  • Why won't my final cut 7 export my entire :30 movie in pro res 422 60i

    Why won't my final cut 7 export my entire :30 movie in pro res 422 60i?
    And some transitions are not rendering properly.

    Post this on the Final Cut Studio forum. This is the FCPX forum.

  • To Apple: Why is it called Final Cut Pro?

    My question is to Apple:
    So why is it called Final Cut Pro?
    You can't call it Final Cut Pro if it's a whole new program. (or if it's an upgrade to IMovie)
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15458061#15458061
    I am soooooo disappointed in this!!!  I have been editing on Final Cut since version 1. I can't even figure out how to put on a fade to black without shifting the whole timeline. @#$%R@Q$E%QQ@!!!!!!!
    Are you really going to make all of us start over from scratch and learn the edit software again? 1/2 the stuff I've learned, keystrokes, favorite effects, screan layouts, 3 party filters etc...over the last 10 years is out the window. It's going to take me months to figure the ins and outs of this new program. How am I supposed to bill my clients for hours when I'm working at 1/10 the speed?  And when am I supposed to take 2 months to learn a whole new program?
    If anybody from Apple is reading this>>>> PLEASE give us back control and stop trying to do everything for us.  We have our own ways of working and our own workflows, folder structures, organization and views.
    Everytime I want to do something on the timeline, FCP X thinks it knows what I want and tries to override what I'm trying to do. Maybe for someone from IMovie this is fine. I know what I want and don't need my software trying to second guess me all time. That's our job as editors.
    (Now some smart a## is going tell me>>> "Just to keep editing on FCP7".... Well that's great, till they stop supporting FCP7 in 9 months, then what do we do?)
    If it's not broke, don't fix it!!!!  And for sure don't abandon it!

  • The document "2147483647-11-06 06_00_00.FinalCutCopy" could not be opened. Final Cut Pro cannot open files of this type.

    The document “2147483647-11-06 06_00_00.FinalCutCopy” could not be opened. Final Cut Pro cannot open files of this type.
    I was importing media, and closed out of the media before stoping the media import. This is how the file saved on the hard drive.
    I need to get this file into a format that FCP can open. Is there a way to export a .FinalCutCopy file into a .mov file???
    Any insights would be VERY HELPFUL!

    I was able to figure it out. I renamed the file type to a .mov format and quicktime was able to open it. Then I saved that file format on the desktop, and imported in after I opened FCP. The file then imported and I was able to access the whole video clip I had! Thanks for your help!

  • Help! Final Cut Pro wont Open, I tried to un install and re install but it still didnt work!

    I have a Final Cut Pro Express from 2006 and all was working fine untill i got an external hard drive and moved most of my projects over there. i tried moving them back to no avail and tried uninstalling and reinstalling final cut and it didnt work! Anyone have any advice on what I can do???

    I disagree an uninstall-install is going to do anything for you. "Won't work" and "to no avail" don't help us speculate on what's wrong with your system. Moving projects should not have caused any issues at all so what you probably really mean is that you moved your media or maybe moved your ssytem or the apps folder or you tried to move FCP. All really bad ideas.

  • When booting up 10.7, Final Cut Pro automatically opens

    After updating to 10.7, I find my Mac automatically opens Final Cut Pro every time I power up. It's more annoying than anything, but I can't figure out why this is happening. Any suggestions?

    I suppose you mean 10.5.7, rather than 10.7...
    To get to your question.
    Strange that it happened, but have a look at Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accounts > Login items.
    I suspect FCP to show there.
    Select FCP and press the '-' button. to stop FCP automatically startup at Login....

  • HT4589 Final Cut Pro wont launch anymore

    I updated to the latest version of Final Cut Pro and now it wont launch.  the window comes up and all I get is a spinning colourful wheel as a cursor and no way to operate the software.

    Could be a problem within one or more of your Events or Projects.
    Move your Events and Projects to new (temporary) folders so that FCP X doesn't find them on launch.
    If it launches OK, then quit the app and move the Projects back one by one (re-launching each time). The media will be offline (red clips) but if it launches OK, quit again, and move the Events back one by one - re-launching each time you move an Event.
    This should isolate the offending Event - you can then use a similar technique to track down the individual file.

  • The document "-" could not be opened. Final Cut Pro cannot open files in the "package" format.

    Hello.    
    I have been trying to open a Final Cut Pro project but I keep getting this notification (title). The internet does not seem to have any solutions (maybe because of how simple it is).
    I have had in on an external hard drive for a while.
    I am using FCP 10.0.9
    Is there anything I can do?
    Thanks,
    Jimmy Fox

    It sounds like you're trying to open an FCP library. FCP files are never backwards compatible. The library structure was first created in version 10.1, so 10.0.9 will not open it. You'd need to find out which version created the library.

  • Can final cut pro x open a final cut pro 7 file?

    I editied a file on Final Cut Pro 7. I am looking to purchase Final Cut Pro X and I am wondering if I can open and edit my Final Cut Pro 7 project in Pro X?

    You have to use Intelligent Assistance's 7toX to be able to bring it to FCP. If you're talking about an FCP project. If you mean an exported file, most likely, but it depends on exactly what you exported to.

  • Final Cut Pro X Opens But Doesn't Respond

    I am running FCPX 10.0.9 on OS X Mavericks (10.9). FCPX worked without issue on my computer and it was running Mavericks. Now, out of the blue, it will open but not respond. Once the loading screen goes away, nothing happens. FCPX is not responding and there is no light under the icon in the dock. I'm not sure why this is happening. Any help is appreciated.

    I don't beleve I trashed my prefferences. I did just now realise when I went to move the project that FCPX hangs on, I realised it was on an externail hard drive that was completly full. I deleted around 40 GB of data on that drive and FCPX works.

  • The document "P1030596.MOV" could not be opened. Final Cut Pro cannot open files in the "QuickTime movie" format.  REALLY !

    ?

    How are you trying to open it? You are not supposed to open these files in FCP X by dragging them onto to the dock, or using "open with" in the Finder. That will lead to the aforementioned message.
    Instead, you drag them into an Event inside FCP X.

  • Why do i see a yield symbol with an exclamation mark in final cut pro 7.

    Why when editing in Final Cut Pro 7 do I see a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in it when stopped.  I sometimes see a gree check mark and am wondering the differnce and how to adjust?

    Because you have the View set to display a warning for excess chroma. You can turn that off by going to the menu View > Range Check > Off.
