can’t open FCP
Hi there –
I recently moved, so have not opened FCP in about two weeks. Now when I try to open it or any FCP project, it looks like it’s going to open and the FCP “licensed to” box comes up, but then every time it gets to “Loading Audio Filters,” the “Final Cut Pro has unexpectedly quit” box comes up. I tried opening FCP from the dock, from the HD, and various FCP projects, all get the same response. Can’t get to the canvas/browser/timeline screen.
Any ideas on what happened and how to fix it? (not having issues with any of my other software)
Thanks much!

Trash your FCP preference files

I tried both FCP rescue and the prebinding suggestion that has seemed to help others (docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93984), but those didn’t work either.
It seems to quit right after “Loading Audio Filters”, so someone suggested trashing that, but I can’t find it. There is no FCP folder in my App-Support (there’s Compressor, Adobe, Firefox, and about 8 others, but no FCP), and in my Preferences folder I see a Final Cut Pro User Data folder and a Plugins folder within that, but it’s empty.
any other suggestions?

No other suggestions but since you’re posting in multiple FCP forums, please do us all a favor and close all of your threads if you find a solution.

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

Yes sir.

Someone in the Apple FCP forum helped me solve the problem — third-party audio unit was the culprit. As soon as I unplugged it from the USB hub, FCP worked perfectly. Helpful article below (thanks Patrick at Apple!).
