Hi Jerry.

Not sure what you mean. Do you want me to create a new account in Creative Cow? Or is this something to do with my question?

[Jerry Hofmann]

A new mac OS user on your computer.

If you are trying to open a project, move your media to a different location and open the project. If it opens, you have a corrupt clip in your sequence.

Another problem may be a conflict with a plug-in.

This is weird. I just let it try to open this time for a few minutes. Eventually it did.

And now it opens just fine each time.

Go figure!

Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll keep them in mind in case it happens again.

[Steve Eisen]

Not weird. That is normal. FCP scans all the files to make sure they are correct. Depending on the project size, it can take awhile.

Just never saw it take that long. Must have been 3 minutes or so.
