Go to View>>Channels and change from Alpha to RGB.

Did you use Migration? If so, do a complete reinstall of FCS from the original install discs.

also have this problem, did a separate system on a firewire drive and FCP7 worked fine then i migrated my files, back to white screen only. spoke to apple 4 times last suggestion after archiving the OS and installing FCP7 didn’t work was to erase my drive and start clean, works now but now i am not sure what conflicted. in the meantime i also installed on my macbook pro without a problem and i have all the same applications/extensions, etc that i have on my dual quadcore.

By any chance is your monitor hooked up via VGA at a resolution of 1920×1200. When I hooked up my monitor via DVI, the problem disappeared. I am working with apple on this and am going to run a test on the VGA hookup at lower resolution and see if that corrects it.

Same problem here! Interresting note is that if you select preview RGB + alpha you can see the clip with the red overlay ( clips with no alpha)
Apple, please ! Anyone reading this thread? This seems like it could be fixed without wipping out everything and re-install. -
Yes I notice the same thing with alpha and rgb albeit the image appeared with a red mask and was visible in pause and scrubbing only.
My monitors are attached via dvi
oddly enough I was able to digitize from a 1200a deck with no issues and I could see the images upon digitizing and the files seem fine when viewed in QuickTime -
well, interestingly enough problem is gone.
Only thing I did was shut down the computer and unplug the power cord
which reset the SMC (System Management Controller)
the SMC is a chip on the logic board that controls all power functions for your computer.
quite weird that this fixed the problem but FCP is working properly now.
It would be great if someone at apple could shed some light about this FCP white canvas problem.
does the SMC has more function than the power functions ???? -
I take that last post out!!
Problem is back on after restarting mac pro!
And this time reseting SMC doesn’t fix the problem.
This is really a pain .
I hope we can get some answer to this white screen problem soon.
