Crash may be cause by KGCore plug-in???
One project keeps crashing upon startup and I’m getting an error message about the KGCore plug-in. Anybody know what the KGCore plug-in is? Its not something in my plugins folder and does not show up in Spotlight.
TIA,

Any plugins with KG in them?

Nope, that was my first idea too. Turns out that a corruption happened, so I had to go back in time in the AutoSave Vault. That’s a pretty decent Apple idea, wish the person who came up with that one was still coming up with new ideas, but he’s obviously working on the iPhone team now.

Hmm.

There is a better solution- hope it’s not too late for you. You can open your project that keeps on crashing, then before it crashes (right click- copy) -copy all of your media files from the browser then paste them in a new open project. Then (if it hasn’t crashed yet)- copy your timeline and paste it into the new project. Quickly close down the crashing project and save the new one with all your preserved EDL and media. Might take you a couple tries. Hope that helps!

I had this very same problem this morning: all of the sudden, I started getting the KGCore Plugin error message.
Final Cut wouldn’t open at all, so there wasn’t any question of cutting and pasting to a new project to try to work around the problem — and I’m not sure that would solve the problem anyway.
I spoke with Apple, and searched around, and it seems that the only way to solve the problem is to do a clean re-install of Final Cut Studio.
Before doing so, make sure you remove Final Cut Studio. Also follow the instructions for removing Compressor and related files at https://support.apple.com/kb/TS1888?viewlocale=en_US
Then reinstall Final Cut Studio. You will lose your settings and preferences, but the good news is you will be able to work again.
Good luck!

Hi
KeyGrip Core….
Sounds pretty fundamental – back to that old Macromedia KG code 🙁 -
I’m having this sort of problem, only on one sequence in one project. I just this morning tried what you describe, Louis, removing everything and re-installing, and I still have the same problem. Oddly, FCP doesn’t always mention KGCore when it crashes, and now that I’ve reinstalled, it takes a few minutes longer for the crash to happen than before. But, it still crashes.
I guess I’ll try the quick cut and paste idea but am dubious about that. -
Are you sure that you’ve really removed FCP Studio? There are lots of hidden files. That’s the only thing I can think of doing, except a clean reinstall of the whole machine, but that will take a long time.
I wonder when Apple going to come up with a patch or fix or at least some support for this problem?
-
Well, it’s almost impossible to be sure, but I spent an hour or so scouring out everything I could find that looked like it has something to do with FCP Studio, in the Applications, Library, ~/Library, prefs, Frameworks, etc etc…
Too bad there’s no Uninstaller.
I would like to know what causes the problem. It’s so odd that just one sequence gives me problems. And it’s disturbing because, who knows when it will happen again? And who’s to say that if I DID wipe the whole hard drive and reinstall everything clean, or even throw the machine in the river and buy a new one, who’se to say that same problem won’t crop again?I used to always be so happy that FCP didn’t have crazy instabilities like this. sigh.
