Clean install of Leopard

[Sean Oneil]

[richard boghosian] “I get a big kick out of that warning “never upgrade in the middle of a project” In the corporate world, there is no completed project, ever. Always revisions. So we are sometimes/always re-editing a project in a new software environment. There is no good time to make the switch, just a less painful time. “

Well said. I don’t think I’ve ever not been in the middle of a project.

After reading Gabe’s suggestion I went to go do a “Save As” of a project, basically creating a duplicate that had been save in the Leopard environment. Hoping that when I reopened FCP and opened the new project everything would be fine. Well, I didn’t have to do anything I opened one of the projects that had been giving me problems and everything worked fine? All effects are working. I had already run the Login & keychain Access Update, but that shouldn’t have done anything to fix this? Anyway everything seems to be working fine. Now I’m nervous to save a project in leopard for fear of these problems coming back. Anyone else experiencing anything similar, or know anything more about this “known problem”? Thanks.

Yes I had the same problem as well when I tried to open the same project on a newly installed Leopard computer (same version of FCP 5). I also found out that my font (Gill Sans) also displayed incorrectly. I copied and the font from my Mac Book Pro (Tiger) and installed it the proper way in my Mac Pro Leopard but still its “bold” was twice the bold of normal. I simply changed all my “bold”s to “plain”s and no problems (though they now look a little thinner then before).

I fixed the “failed to render” by closing the project and re-opening it again- but then I’m used to FCP being temperamental with me (reminds me of my days employed as an IT “expert” with Windows accreditation)….
