The first thing to always try is to Quit FCP, Restart the Mac, Open your FCP project and try again.

THE FOLLOWING COMES FROM THE KEN STONE WEBSITE:
“Over 5,000 years ago Confucius wrote: ‘If you are toiling away, you have changed nothing and FCP heads South on you, [starts behaving in strange ways] then it is time to trash your FCP Preferences.’ ”

Click the following link for instructions.

A great way to do this is to use “FCP Rescue” a free Apple Script that will Trash the Preferences for you (and restore nearly all of your user settings afterward).
There are versions for FCP (Pro) & FCE (Express) and a new one for FCP 5.

Download these free Apple Scripts at

This is one FCP tip that has helped in solving hundreds of “odd” problems.

If that doesn’t work, go into the mac system prefs and go into the Blackmagic prefs and change the input and output, then put them back. I’ve had to do this on mine. It just resets the driver (I guess). If none of this works, there is a blackmagic forum here too. See if those guys can help.
