FCP problems w/Tiger
I am a new user to Final Cut Pro HD.
I recently upgraded my G4 to Tiger, and also installed MBox with ProTools LE and am now experiencing several problems with FCP that I did not have before the upgrade.
1) Video clips will not play (only audio). This is also the case when I try to play quicktime movies directly from a disk. The one exception to video that I can see are previous sequences made with FCP before getting Tiger.
2) Sequences will not render.
3) When I export to Compressor, and try to submit, I am given the message
“Cannot connect to background process”
I have been told to reinstall Compressor and ditch my FCP preferences, but doing neither of these has helped. Any help is greatly appreciated.

What version of QT are you using?
Rafael -
QT version is 7.1.3

Did you do a clean install?
It is always best to erase and install instead of upgrading to a whole new version (10.3 to 10.4 for example)

No, I just ran the Tiger installation disk…and that’s when all the problems started. If I remove Tiger and reinstall do you think that will help? Thanks

I would rather reinstall FC and up-date the ProApp Support etc. Don’t forget reppair permissions after any intallation.
Salud,

Thanks for the tip. The only problem is that I do not have FC to reinstall. I bought the computer from someone with it already installed. Any suggestions?

I would suggest getting a legal copy of Final Cut.

…I do not have FC to reinstall. I bought the computer from someone with it already installed.”So how could you reinstall Compressor if you don’t have the FCP HD install disk?
Quick search at Apple support brings up this troubleshooting document:

I have DVD Studio Pro 2, which comes with Compressor on it.
