  • Cinema Tools crash at startup on Mountain Lion

    Posted by Radim Palus on January 17, 2013 at 10:48 am

    Hi,

    today it is the first time I had the need to use Cinema Tools after upgrading to Mountain Lion and surprisingly it crashes before starting up.

    I found some advices to install “ProApplicationsUpdate2010-02”, which my Mac doesn’t allow me, or to copy CinemaTools from a Lion installation. I went straight from 10.6.8 to 10.8.2, so I have only a 10.6.8 installation which also crashes.

    Have anyone solved this issue?

    Best Regards!

    Radim

    Was this a clean OS and reinstall of FCS?

    As far as I’m aware CinemaTools is dead under Lion / Mountain Lion.

    So if it’s a part of your workflow, you’re only hope is Snow Leopard and if that will run on your hardware. SL does not have some of the drivers for the latest Mac hardware. 10.6.8 was the only version which would run on the first run of pre-installed Lion Macs (with a few button issues on Laptops).

    Good luck.

    Hi Michael,

    I made a clean OS install and than migrated the apps and documents, so now I’m thinking of reinstalling Final Cut Studio. Originally I was happy that it runs and I didn’t want to take the risk of reinstalling it as it was working – except Cinema Tools. I have a backup so I will try to reinstall FCS and will see what happens.

    I have Cinema Tools running quite happily under Lion 10.7.5
    Cant really offer advice on the crashing under ML but certainly seems to work on this OS

    best wishes

    FCP needs to be a clean install on a clean OS install. Anything else is likely to give problems. This forum has had hundreds of posts over the years pointing out the problem with installs over or migration which never seems to be robust or problem free.

    The other thing is that after a clean install of OS and FCP it pays to run permissions repairs. In fact after any software install it is a good idea to repair permissions just in case something gets a bit haywire.
