FCP Won’t Boot Up
I have a G5 Dual Gig with Final Cut Pro Studio on my system. Just recently had a Black Magic Deck Link Card installed for a job and uninstalled after it was done and now Final Cut Pro won’t boot up. Tried re-installing and still nothing? Can anyone help?
Thanks

Are you getting any error messages?
Have you completely uninstalled the Black magic drivers…
Also delete FCP prefs.. since you may be running into the problem of FCP may still be trying to find you blackmagic deck…Simon Carlson-Thies,

Thanks for responding so quickly. I unistalled all black magic drivers, rebooted, and re-installed FCP and still it doesn’t boot up. No error messages at all. It just looks like its about to open as it appears to be loading all the elements to open up FCP but then just quits.

Try uninstalling FCP I can’t recall if the installer has the option if not… Delete:
the application, application support files in you library folder, preferences, and render and scratch files on your internal system drive located in the docs folder, and the reciepts out of the library… then re-install the application…If this is what you have already done, and mean by re-install then, what has changed besides the blackmagic card in your system…?

Have you repaired permissions on your main system drive?
If you have not and don’t know how:
go to Utilities, look for the drive Icon with the stethoscope, select your sytem drive, then repair permissions. Reboot.If you already knew how, just trying to cover all bases.
You could also download the Edit Well newsletter that is still Free and follow along with Larry Jordan’s tutorial about fixing FCP when things go wonky. just goggle Edit well and select the link.
