FCP 5.0 crashes on export
I’m trying to export a sequence out of FCP 5 and it crashes immediatley. I’ve tried trashing the prefs, no dice. Another thing is that after it crashes, my system really get screwed up, like the icons are blacked out, and some of them are just gone. I never seen my computer do this. The thing that’s really strange is that it was working just fine yesterday, I was exporting with no problems. Any suggestions would be great, thanks.

If you didn’t do a full clean install of Tiger and a clean install of FCS over it… do it.

actually I’m running 10.3.9. Not sure why I should clean install, everything was working fine yesterday. And why is “clean installing” the only solution that apple can come up with? Seems like when ever there’s a problem with the so called “ever so stable” OS X, the only solution is to re-install the entire operating system? How about releasing an application without thousands of bugs in the first place!

Forgive my assumption on your OS install, and wishing here you had posted it in the first place.
I wouldn’t reinstall 10.3.9. I’d run 5 on Tiger however. I don’t work for Apple by the way. They’ve said nothing of the kind about reinstalling the OS. I have however. If you decide to run the software in Tiger, do a clean install on a second hard drive to preserve your current one, and migrate.
Apple’s release of .0 software with bugs is industry standard I’m afraid. Been that way for about mmmmmm 16 years.
