  • FCP 5.0.1 Won’t Open!!!

    Posted by Matt Fezz on May 9, 2006 at 12:03 pm

    Ok, heres the situation. FCP was working perfectly fine on my machine. I don’t open it for about 2 days, and now it will not open. I try to open it by any means (dock, application menu, quicksilver, project files, terminal) and the loading screen comes up no problems, however after I see “loading audio filters” it just closes. No windows initialize, no error messages, it just terminates.

    I have tried restarting, I have tried unmounting drives, I have tried uninstalling Quicksilver (installing it was the only change I have made to the system in the last 2 days). But none of these have helped. I cannot think of anything else and I REALLY need to get FCP running again.

    has anyone else encountered this problem or have any idea how to fix it?

    My final solution would be to re-install it but it it not somthing I would like to do..

    If you’re still running FCP 5.0, you really should be running 5.0.3 or 5.0.4 as those are much more stable. You can download the updates from the Apple Site.

    Have you trashed your FCP Prefs? Do that and then try to launch FCP.
