  Menus gray out

  Posted by Joaquin (kino) gil on October 19, 2005 at 4:56 pm

  Has anyone experienced FCPHD’s menus going greyed-out AFTER doing an export through quicktime conversion?
  The only way to recover is to use keys to save and exit and restart the app.

  I have a new G5 2.7 dual and same old FCPHD.

  Thanks

  The first thing to always try is to Quit FCP, Restart the Mac, Open your FCP project and try again.

  Next:
  THE FOLLOWING COMES FROM THE KEN STONE WEBSITE:
  “Over 5,000 years ago Confucius wrote: ‘If you are toiling away, you have changed nothing and FCP heads South on you, [starts behaving in strange ways] then it is time to trash your FCP Preferences.’ ”

  Click the following link for instructions.

  https://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/trashing_fcp_prefs.html

  A great way to do this is to use “FCP Rescue” a free Apple Script that will Trash the Preferences for you (and restore nearly all of your user settings afterward).
  There are versions for FCPro & FCExpress.

  Download these free Apple Scripts at

  This is one FCP tip that has helped in hundreds of “odd” problems.

  Umpteen thanks. The Confucius quote is admirably apt.
