  Log and Transfer corruption problem shuts final cut down.

  Posted by Mehmet Caglayan on July 14, 2010 at 1:00 pm

  Hi Folks,
  I am working on a project where multiple external hard drives are at work. One has the footage in AVCHD and XDCAM the other has my project.
  I was using log and transfer and dumping all my files into one hard drive in PRORESS 422 HQ.
  One of the hard drives dismounted. I got the red dot warning indicating my hard drive was removed. It was not on my desktop nor it showed on the system. So I turned the computer off and re powered everything. Once all were back online. I tried to resume log and transfer. The clips played on the preview but when I drop them to Que it gave me a red dot waring and Final Cut shut down.

  Question Number 1: How do you completely erase final cut from your system? Because dropping into trash did not do the job. When I tried to re install final cut, the computer indicated I was upgrading and it did not ask me serial number and stuff.
  Question number 2: My imovie can transfer AVCHD files. So I know the files are not corrupt. Panasonic AVCHD Viewer also plays the files so I know the max os x is fine.
  DO I need to do complete system erase to get my final cut back to work?
  I can’t even get an error message to know what the heck is going on..

  Cheers
  Mehmet

  Maybe, but don’t go there quite yet. Have you tried trashing the FCP prefs?

  What’s a ‘red dot warning’?

  Hi Jeremy thanks for the quick response.
  The red dot is:
  It looks like stop sign with exclamation mark in the middle.

  The only think I trashed was the final cut studio components in my application folder and I did clear my trash bin.
  But when I tried to re load the program it did not ask me the serial number and imidiatly went to installing as an upgrade…
  I will try your link first before I go nuts.
