Canvas, timeline, and toolbar
I’m using an iMac G5 and FCP 5, trying to edit some HD footage that I succesfully captured and have stored in my bin and can view on the view with no problem. My canvas and timeline are missing. I’ve gone to the provided website and tried to click on the sequence and such but that isn’t working. I tried going to easy setup and picking the setting and it responds with a message “codec not found. you may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card.” and then it tells me that i’m out of memory even though I have 21 gb remaining. I don’t know what to do. Does anyone know how to help me with my problem? Has anyone run into this dilemma before? Please get back to me ASAP, thank you.

Out of memory error messages refer to RAM not drive space.
It sounds as if the application has not been properly installed. You should uninstall FCP and all its ancillary applications, all receipts, preferences and system IDs and reinstall from the DVDs. Components seem to be missing from your installation. Sim ply installing won’t work as the receipts will tell the computer items are there when they’re not.
All the best,
Tom
