ARGHHH! FCP 5 Crashing!
First of all, this project is loaded with Magic Bullet filters and color correction, but they have all been rendered. Well one particular CC filter needs to be applied to all the rest of the clips in the timeline. So, if I try and double click the clip with the filters to load in the viewer, it crashes. “Final Cut Pro had to quit unexpectedly” If I do a match frame on the clip, then “open in editor,” it crashes. If for some reason I am able to get it to load in the viewer, the minute I try to copy the one filter I need, it crashes. This is the only project I have that crashes. You think the intense amount of filters may be stressing out my system?

The first thing to always try is to Quit FCP, Restart the Mac, Open your FCP project and try again.
Next:
THE FOLLOWING COMES FROM THE KEN STONE WEBSITE:
“Over 5,000 years ago Confucius wrote: ‘If you are toiling away, you have changed nothing and FCP heads South on you, [starts behaving in strange ways] then it is time to trash your FCP Preferences.’ ”Click the following link for instructions.

A great way to do this is to use “FCP Rescue” a free Apple Script that will Trash the Preferences for you (and restore nearly all of your user settings afterward).
There are versions for FCPro & FCExpress.Download these free Apple Scripts at

This is one FCP tip that has helped in hundreds of “odd” problems.
