  • FCPX – Motion – Logic Pro X ….. WILL NOT WORK !!!

    Posted by Vick Sepetjian on September 5, 2017 at 4:52 am

    And when i get FCPX to open ( 1 in 10 reboots ) generators, parameters are out of whack……third party and native FCPX plug-ins have issues…. its a corrupted mess. So, basically it’s unusable. I’ve re-installed all three programs 3 times. ( getting the perpetual beachball on all 3 ) I’ve re-downloaded the OS ( el Capitan )- All the latest versions of everything …… which i’ve been using since they came out. Every other software I own works beautifully on the same system. I’ve re-set preferences…even on the fresh installs. I used FCS to remove old packages. I’m running a 2010 Mac Pro ..2.8 ghz…quad core…32 ram… radeon 7950. ( strong computer…never had any issues like this before. )
    I did recently install Final Cut Library Manager and cleared out about a tera-byte of render files. I also just installed the Nuke Studio ( which is working brilliantly ) I’m not sure if there’s some kind of compatibility issue with NUKE and FCPX etc. on the same system.
    Sorry if i’m in the wrong forum…but i can really use some help figuring this out.

    Does this still happen if you create a new library?

    I’ll certainly try that when I get it open again…..but I’m not sure that will help with Motion and Logic.

    You could try setting up a new user account on your system and seeing if that makes things work.

    thank you, Steve. I had tried that already. Fingers crossed …. i repaired my permissions in disk utility and am now able to open all 3 softwares consistently. still experiencing some plugin issues….but hopefully i’ll have some luck there too.
    thanks again for your responses.

    Spoke to soon. Back to the drawing board. The three softwares won’t open 90% of the time and when FCPX opens…. there are numerous generators that are in-op. I did notice that 2 of my 3 internal drives are read only. Including my boot drive. In the process of backing up data to reformat the 2 drives. Still appreciate any help anyone can offer.

    I think the fact that 2 out of your 3 drives is almost definitely causing your problem, and that sounds pretty serious. Would definitely tackle that first and start fresh.

    Did you delete your parameter files and restart?
