FCP 7 on Lion

[John Oselette]

Greetings,

I recently installed OS X Lion 10.7.2 on my iMac. I have been operating FCP 7 on Snow Leopard without issues for almost 3 years. Since installing Lion, when I launch the Voice Over Tool in Final Cut, it freezes up and I have to force quit.

Any suggestions?

Heck, I’m using fresh install of FCP6 on a new Imac with Lion. No performance issues what-so-ever (although it took some black magic to get installed).

Download and install the trial of Digital Rebellion’s Pro Maintenance Tools. Run Crash Analyzer. It will point you in the right direction of where your problem lies.

Thanks Dennis. I will give that a go.

Actually yes I had a Voiceover tool problem recently with FCP/Lion setup. A few crashes back to back whenever I tried changing the tool from 44k to 48k. Seemed like it was solved by resetting the capture scratch for some reason. That was very strange. So far all good now.

I have been unable to get that far. As soon as I launch from the menu or shortcut, it crashes.

Hi Shane, do you have them on the same disk with two partitions?

Currently, no….different drives.

Same setup here. Have not installed the 3.0 version for the MXO2 (Media Composer). Still using 2.3.3 for Snow Leopard. It will be nice when Matrox will have an update version for both FCP and Media Composer.
FYI, v2.3.3 works with my Lion drive.

Very helpful Shane. Thanks! I hope you feel better now. I’m on Lion 10.7.3. When I try to open FCP7, or projects completed in FCP7 on OS X 10.6.whatthehell, I get the beachball of death. Anybody out there who can provide an answer other than “It’s working for me, what’s your problem?”
