Can’t open Final Cut
One of my external drives that i edit onto got unplugged by accident….and even though everything seems to still be there….now final cut pro won’t open.
It goes through all of the regular process but at the end it just goes back to the Finder. I’ve tried restarting, and dismounting the drive and the program won’t even open on it’s own…I took the project to someone else’s computer and the project opens with some items missing (that are on the other computer).
I’m not sure what to try next….
Can anyone help? I’m lost without my computer…

Step 1.
User>Library>Preferences>delete the file named “com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist”then….
Step 2.
User>Library>Preferences>Final Cut Pro User Data> delete files “Final Cut Pro 5.0 Prefs” “Final Cut Pro Obj Cache” and Final Cut Pro Prof Cache”Now restart FCP and everything should be OK. Step 2 is going to revert ALL of your user settings to the default FCP settings. You’ll have to go back and change all your user setting back to the way you had them, but depending, that’s not too bad a task.
Hope this helps.

Glad I could help! 🙂 This is actually a question that comes up a lot here (“FCP won’t start”), and most people will ignore it. They don’t do it to be mean, but most of the people here only have a certain amount of time to devote, so if they see a question that’s already been asked and answered, they tend to go on to the next one. In the future, try a quick search and many times you’ll find the answer before you have to post, which is great cause it’ll same you the time of writing! 😀
Hope things keep running feel speed ahead!

Thank you Winston, I just searched on the web if some people had the same kind of problem and I found your prompt answer here on creative Cow, I truly wanted to thank you for sharing it. I’m working on a serious one year long project and I was scared and you gave me a great help (although, answering somebody else).
Well, thank you very much, maybe for you was a little thing but it was truly important for me to fix this problem, so thanks again and if you find the time maybe you could write why it happen so suddently that FCP didn’t open up.Thanks a million,
Peppe
