P2/DV … KG Core plug in …
Hello All,
I’m working on a brand new Mac Pro (one week out of the box), FCS2 installed from original disks (not migrated). The Mac is 16G with a RAID card, Radeon GFX card, 2.26GHz Intel Quad-Core Intel Xeon. FCS2 is on the Macintosh HD while the scratch disk is the RAID disk (2 disks).
I have started 3 projects with only 1 ever being open at one time. My latest project is a 26 minute show for broadcast. The second half was shot last week in DV PAL 4:3 and already edited on the timeline. The first half was shot yesterday on P2.
I watched Shane’s tutorial on how to import P2 into FCP and followed every step.
Soon after dragging all the P2 stuff into the same timeline, the programme started shutting down time and time again. It stated that the KG-Core plug in was responsible and, after asking around, I ended up here to a post from 2009 regarding the same problem.
FCP would then only open for a few seconds before closing itself down. I couldn’t drag anything into the timeline, my completed part two edit of the show was now trapped inside the same timeline as the newly imported P2 … and kept crashing.
I have now wiped the Mac Pro of FCS2 and have started reinstalling from scratch.
Do you, the real pros here, think that the combination of DV and P2 could have caused this?
I would be interested to find out as it appears that I have to start this edit all over again – thankfully, a DV copy of the P2 files is available.

Trashing the preferences usually fixes that one.
Download the Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion: https://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm

Shane,
Well I did what you said and my ‘preferences were successfully deleted’.
Opened up the problem project file and FCP closed almost immediately.
Thoughts?
Grateful thanks,

Hi Stuart,
With our Mac OSX, is much more possible that any glitch comes from the System than from FC.
Whenever I have problems I start by optimizing the System; rebuilding directories (DiskWarrior, TechTools,..) and repairing permissions. Normally this works.
Best,

Rafael,
Many thanks.
I have;
– reinstalled FCS2
– downloaded Preference Manager and trashed all the FCS Pref files
– repaired permissions on the Mac ProStill, I am unable to open my projects. Looks like I have to start each one again …

Well, it opens and then close..
Put the media off-line and try to open the project.
This will tell you if there is any problem with the media.

EVERY project? Just a few?
Yeah, removing the MEDIA DRIVE and then launching FCP is a good way to test. Might be a corrupt piece of media.

Shane,
Thank for getting back to me.
I haven’t done what Rafael suggested as I’ve been editing on another machine all day. I’ll do it tonight and get back to you.
FYI, I tried opening another project which didn’t contain any of the ‘problem/original’ material. The project opened and then shut within 10 seconds (according to the error report).

Hey…do me a favor and post that error report. I have something that can read that and tell you what’s up.
