Crash may be cause by KGCore plug-in???

[Ellen McKay] “Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!”

Sounds like you need to reinstall FCP.

[Ellen Mckay]

yes. this is my next step, but I’m still concerned about having trashed the KGCore files. Does anyone know if this is integral to the OS, or will they get back into the Framework Folder when I reinstall?

Thanks.

If reintalling FCP doesn’t do it, you will have to do the OS next.

Hi,

I’ve been battling with this error for a few weeks now. Trashing the prefs and the User Data files is a good temporary fix. However my user needed to point his Waveform Cache, Thumbnail Cache and Autosave vault to a location on the Xsan. This worked until he restarted FCP. We knew that if we left FCP to run with the default settings after trashing the prefs, it was OK.

I went through setting the Scratch disk, Waveform Cache, Thumbnail Cache and Autosave vault indevidually and restarting FCP and found that it was when we pointed the Thumbnail Cache to the user’s preferred location, the KGCore error happened. Looking at the files in the Thumbnail Cache folder i noticed that they hadn’t been modified for a couple of months! I deleted them, and restarted FCP, watched the files get remade, and BINGO! FCP booted!!!

I don’t know if this error is specific to the Thumbnail Cache, it could relate to any of these folders…

Hope this helps!!!

Cheers,

Jon

Solution is
Final Cut Assistant 1.0.5

https://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/finalcutstudio/finalcutassistant.html

Use it to reset every thing from fcp pref, cache and rest…

I solved the same problem with it.

Recently been having this problem with FCP 7 and the following worked for me to fix this KGCore Plugin error from crashing my FCP:

Right or control click on your sequences and export them as XMLs. Then, make sure they’ve exported correctly- I’d try importing them into a new project and making sure it imports correctly. If you can open them in a new project, do one of two things:

1) Use this new project as your starting point, importing all your XMLs into this new project, along with all your other media (footage, audio, graphics, etc.)

2) If you’d prefer not to reorganize yourself in a new project, go back to your old project and delete all the sequences you have exported XMLs for. Then simply reimport those XMLs and you should be up and running again, minus the KG Core plugin error.

This works for me. Just remember to keep a hearty autosave going, along with manual saving as often as you can. Apple+S is your friend.

Re: KG-core plugin
I was getting the same crash message and fixed it simply.

I’ll start back a couple of steps, each time I opened FCP I would get the window with the message that FCP was searching for my external camera or words to that effect. I had a check option which said don’t show this message again which I would ignore and hit continue and open FCP.
After spending ages trying to find an answer to the KG core crashes, I was opening FCP up routinely and up popped the usual window about external camera. I could hear in my mind a voice whispering “tick the box for the “don’t show this message any more” and the KG core plug-in problem will never appear again” I ticked the box, and when I quit FCP after working on a project…hey presto no bloody KG core plug in crash message!
So if that window is unchecked tick the box…it worked for me.
Cheers everyone

Hello People, after much research and reading all your posts. I found the solution.

Doesn’t matter if FCP crashes when opening FCP or when opening a project. If you get the KGcore plug-in crash just go to where you are saving your thumbnail data and erase the contect of the folder. That is it.
The data will be recreated when you open the project.

Let me know if it worked for you.

Hey there

this looks good but I get a ‘page not found’ on the apple site with this link. Also unable to find a copy on the web, any ideas?

Thanks people.

[Andy Bailey]

Thanks Diego! I second that solution. Worked perfectly for me.
I was in a bit of a panic this morning, and luckily I found this thread.
