  Final Cut Studio Problems

  Posted by Jekabs on June 28, 2007 at 10:32 am

  Hello.

  I installed final cut studio 2 and i cant open final cut and compressor – each time i try to open it fails and says that the application quit unexpectedly. DVDSP, Motion and Color opens, but not Final Cut and Compressor.

  The previous version of Final Cut on what i was working was – 5.1.4.

  2×3 GhZ Intel Xeon
  6 GB RAM
  Black Magic Multibridge Extreme, Driver Version 6.2.

  I recently uninstalled FCS 1.5 (including FCP5) and installed FCS6. I’ve been able to run all apps successfully, which leaves me to wonder how you uninstalled FCP5. If you don’t find another less comprehensive solution, here’s how I made the move up to FCS2.

  After much searching of forums and even an unproductive phone call to Apple, I did the most complete uninstall I could short of removing content files, as follows:
  1) Followed detailed advice posted on Apple’s message board under the topic, “how do i uninstall final cut pro?”
  2) Followed the same general pattern for the other apps in FCS. Not all use the same prefs or system files, there are only so many places Mac OS X saves these files.
  3) Did manual searches for files containing FCS app names just in case.
  4) Ran Disk Utility to clean up disk permissions and verify disk.
  5) Ran Tech Tool Pro to check for everything else (okay, so I like to be thorough with my diagnostics, I admit it!)
  6) Posted a note on Apple’s forum requesting they include an Uninstall app with their programs!
