There are more than one preference files to trash. The easy way is with preference manger, you can download it here.

Hi,

I suddenly cannot open FCP 7 as well after having it work for over 2 years without any system updates. It will go through all the normal starting dialog and then after it asks for the default hardware which I can set to DV, Blackmagic, etc, I get the spinning ball and then under Force Quit it says (Not Responding)

I’ve:

Deleted all preferences by hand and with Preference Manager
Repaired Preferences
Zapped PRAM
Uninstalled with FCS Remover
Re-installed
Tried 7.0 without updating (no go)
Deleted everything again with FCS Remover
Re-installed, then updated to 7.0.3
It will re-do the profile for RT and then crash

System: OSX 10.8.5
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro9,1
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 2.3 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 8 GB

The only thing I’ve installed since I used it last was DaVinci Resolve Lite. Any thoughts would be most appreciated.
