FCP crashes on start in Snow Leopard
Final Cut Pro crashes on start up in Snow Leopard. (FCP Studio 7.) Is anyone else having this problem? Need a solution. Have tried trashing preference but did not fix it. All was very stable until Snow Leopard upgrade two days ago. Here is the crash report abbreviated:

Did you do clean erase and install of the OS and then reinstall the application from the discs?
All the best,

Thanks Tom,
The recommended action was to install Snow Leopard over 10.5.8 so that’s what I did. Not really an option anyway given our operating schedule. Would prefer a debug that handled the specific crash thread to a complete re-install. Is there a simple way to revert to 10.5.8?
-
One of our suites is doing the same thing. I thought it started when the new Kona drivers were installed. Did you install the latest drivers also?
-
I was using the older Kona drivers when it first started. Then installed 7.0.1 and it solved it for one day. Then it happened again. I traced this second crash to the permissions on my Raid drive. Apparently Snow Leopard is not happy with the existing permissions set by 10.5.8. I unmounted the raid drive, unlocked the permissions, put them back the way they were and rebooted Snow. It worked, and so far I’m still up in FCP. Let’s hope it stays that way!
Seems like the KONA drivers and the Raid permissions were separate problems causing the same crash at start up in FCP.

Sorry can’t help you with the crashes but I have been running Snow Leopard and FCS 3 that were clean installed and haven’t had one problem. Working with FCP, Motion, Color, Compressor and DVDSP all work fine.

Recommended by who, certainly not the people on the COW.
If you run Pro Apps it is ALWAYS recommended to do a clean install of any new OS.
There are no “technical solutions” to your “artistic problems”.
Don’t let technology get in the way of your creativity! -

Zane,
Something tells me you got that right. Perhaps Rick should search for “Snow Leopard 101: For Smart People Only” if he doubts you.

I am on clean installation of FCP7 and Snow Leopard and it’s a crash ride too. It crashes all the time. I’m seriously contemplating moving back to 10.5.8.
-
You did make a sparseimage of 10.5.8 system partition before the upgrade, right?
-
I’m having the same experience with FCS3 and SL. FCP7 crashes by itself; when round-tripping to Color and Soundtrack Pro.
It’s like owning a PC two years ago and upgrading to Vista: uggh.
The 10.6.1 update hasn’t contributed any greater degree of stability. In the mean time, I’m saving my FCP sequences much more frequently.
Deleting preference files in Adobe Soundbooth and Office 2008 for Mac has improved their stability. Tempted to do the same with FCP, except I’m leery of making things worse while I’ve got projects due.
