Boris Title 3D won’t close
first time this has ever happened. i’m editing a title in Boris in FCP, and it won’t “apply”, “cancel”, nor close…and FCP won’t even show the option of “force quit”. i’m just turning off the machine, but any idea why this might have happened? thanks…

hmmmm…hitting the power button to turn off my G5 doesn’t really turn it off. the drives sound like they’re spinning down, the tower power light slowly blinks, and the screen goes black. i waited a few minutes, turned it back on, and it resumed back to my open FCP timeline that wouldn’t close nor would it force quit through the dock…
????????

If you’re running FCP 5.1.2 and you can get Title 3D to open without crashing FCP, consider yourself among the lucky few. As to getting it to close, I dunno, I’ve been trying to fix this for weeks with no luck

I had the problem too. After building about 40 titles, suddenly, it wouldn’t close. I found that hitting the red “x button would close the window, and a prompt would ask me if I wanted to save my changes (something to that effect)… Click yes and it worked, but troubling that it suddenly became buggy.
I haven’t been back into that project this week (tomorrow I will), so I don’t know if my upgrade to 5.1.4 fixed it or made it worse. I’ll find out in the morning!!

Title 3D has it own set of preferences, try trashing them. Do a search under “title 3D” to find it.

you are just sleeping the machine. If you are intent on powering down with everything still open, press and hold the power button until it turns off.
I would repair permissions after re-starting. -
ya, working fine now, but pardon me asking but how does one ‘repair permissions’?

In disk utility, highlight your boot drive, under the first aid tab, select repair permissions. Conventional wisdom suggests doing this after installing anything, after a hard freeze, and just every so often when you think of it. I think it’s sort of similar to the old rebuild desktop routine pre-OS X

i’ve experienced the exact same problem. i don’t recall if it happened after upgrading to the latest version of fcp or not, but lately, when i use boris title 3d i’m unable to close the window, apply or cancel. hitting the red button to close the window will not work either. sometimes, if i leave the window alone for a period of time, eventually it will allow me to close it, but this isn’t always affective.

I had this same problem.
Do a search for “title 3d” and delete the
boris preferences. Restart FCP and try
boris again.Worked for me.

Happens to me all the time. Took me a while to figure this out, but try hitting Command-W as if to close a window. It will prompt you to save changes or cancel. Works every time for me.
