  Problems with FC 3 after upgrading the Mac OS

  Posted by Mick Bowman on December 7, 2005 at 3:06 pm

  I just upgraded from OS 10.2.3 to OS 10.4 on an iMac G-4.
  Now my Final Cut 3 is performing strangely. The worst thing is
  when I view clips in reverse with the J key the image stutters
  and visually skips frames making it hard to select an edit point.

  Can anyone offer an insight? I have 768 MB RAM. Do I need more?
  –Thanks.

  Try this first:

  If FCP starts behaving in strange ways, then it is time to trash your FCP Preferences.’ ”

  Click the following link for instructions.

  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 FCP (Pro) & FCE (Express) and a new one for FCP 5.

  Download these free Apple Scripts at

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