FCP BAD CRASH!
Hey guys, someone was deleting some file while FCP was open, not sure if this did it (but i guess is worth mentioning), and i lost a whole lot of media, so i close FCP cause it was acting funny, when i tried to relaunch, it gives me a splash screen, but it does a weid flicker like a flash frame teasing me with the application interface, but it closes down.
I’ve tried trashing the application, reinstalling it, trashing preferences, etc… any ideas what might be going on.
ALSO: I lost some really important footage white this co-worked was deleting files, is there any way to get them back? some sort of undelete? Thanks.

First off, get that co-worker fired. What they did was downright bad. OK, not fired, but a good talking to at least. Why the heck were they deleting files?
Your first course of action is to REpair Permissions with the Disk Utility, and then run FCP Rescue to trash and rebuild the FCP preferences (google it). If that doesn’t work, then you might need to trash FCP and all it’s files (NOT YOUR MEDIA OR PROJECT FILE) and reinstall. If that doesn’t work, then a clean re-install of the OS and FCP might be warranted.
Lost media? Why not recapture from the source tapes? Finding files that have been erased requires special software, or more drastically for the drive to be sent to data recovery specialists.
