  • FCP7 suddenly slows down macbook pro

    Posted by Joseph D’ovidio on January 11, 2010 at 11:00 pm

    Hi there,
    Does anyone know why my FCP7 has just decided to play up?
    It has been working beautifully for months, but last night when I opened the software it took longer than usual to set up. Then once opened, the macbook pro’s clock stops for 3 seconds at a time. When I click on any button it takes up to 8 seconds to respond and when I close the application this slowness continues (until I restart the mac). It happens also when I try to open FCP with a project file.
    This bringing my macbook pro to its knees only happens with the Final Cut application.
    I have tried repairing my disk utilities and then deleting then reinstalling the entire studio, but it is still happening and I am at a loose end!
    I have a drop in meeting with an Apple store booked for next week but I really need to get this working as soon as I can! Can anyone help??

    Many thanks,

    Joe
