Avid Xpress Pro 4.8.1 conflict with FCP launching?
My question is regarding whether or not Avid Xpress Pro can caused conflict with the launching of FCP. Details are below – thank you.
I just purchased FCP Studio and a new dual 2.3 G5. Installation ran fine. All other apps open (ie: soundtrack, dvd studio, motion, compressor, etc.).
When I try to open FCP 5.03, it starts to open – anotherwords the rectangular box with FCP and my name and the serial number comes up like it’s going to launch, but then the box goes away and no application. The finder then becomes active.
I’m running on and OS 10.4.2 and QT 7.0.1 and would rather not go to 10.4.3 or a higher version of QT as I need this OS and QT for my Avid Xpress application. Plus I do not suspect that the OS or QT version is the problem, as we know FCP has launched on OS 10.4.2 and QT 7.0.1. All other software is up to date.
Possibly there are software conflicts with Avid? The only other software I have installed on this machine is that which was packaged with Avid Xpress Pro v.4.8.1 which is as follows:
Avid Xpress Pro v4.8.1 (which includes)
Avid ALE
Avid EDL Manager
Avid FilmScribe
Avid MetaSync Manager
Avid MetaSync Publisher
…and also:

Bors Graffitt 2.1 LTD
ATTO ExpressStripe

Sonic Fire Pro v.3
Sorenson SqueezeAny insight on how to launch FCP would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
Michael.

I’m running both on my PowerBook (plus all the other apps) with the newest OS and QT versions. No problems yet. Maybe there are some issues with that G5? Have you uninstalled the Avid apps? If so, do things work correctly?

Oliver:
Are you saying that you have them on the same partition/drive and there are no conflicts?

Yes, that’s correct – single drive (NOT dual boot). It’s probably not recommended, but has worked for me so far, except at the change to Tiger and AXP 4.3. With AXP 4.8.1 things have been fine.
