  FCP 7 Crashes Every Time On Log And Capture

  Posted by Mark W on October 20, 2010 at 1:38 pm

  Hi,

  I have a Sony TRV950E connected to my new i5 iMac (10.6.4) via Firewire. I’ve selected Firewire PAL profile. Every time I hit ‘Log and capture’ FCP 7.0.3 crashes (I’ve included edited crash log highlights below). If I had any hair I’d have pulled it out long ago over this!

  Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

  Trashed FCP Prefs

  Reinstalled FCP (using FCP remover tool) and patched up to latest version (7.0.3)

  Reinstalled Quicktime X from system disc

  Ran Disk Utility Repair Permissions several times

  Reset PRAM

  System profiler lists camera correctly under firewire settings

  Tried Firewire PAL Basic profile in FCP

  New firewire cable

  Noticed Quicktime 7 wasn’t installed, so installed from Snow Leopard system disc.

  Captures perfectly in iMovie using DV VCR (which proves camera/firewire/cable are working).

  As I understand it, quicktime handles the capturing in FCP and I assumed reinstalling Quicktime X would fix it – no dice.

  If anybody could shed any light on what else I can try I’d be eternally grateful.

  Thanks.

  Create a new admin user
  logout, login with that new user.
  Check if it crashes now

  I actually solved this by removing the USB soundcard – no more crashes! That was causing the problem. Only problem now is all sound is coming through my internal iMac speakers!

  Ideally when I’m editing I’d like to run the sound through my Mackie MR5’s connected via my Numark USB soundcard rather than use the internal iMac speaker.

  If I choose ‘Numark USB Audio Device’ or ‘Default’ under ‘View-Audio Playbak’ I only get audio on the viewer window not the canvas? If I change audio output to ‘Built In’ all audio plays fine on both viewer/canvas. I’ve tried rendering everything to no avail.

  Just seems odd the audio works in the viewer with the soundcard but not the canvas?
