FCPX shuts down when I select clip

You might want to provide some information so you can get help.
HD clip could be almost anything. You system and OS could be almost anything.

Hi Craig,

It had nothing to do with the clip which was a 1280×720 HD clip from our JVC GY-HM700u camera. I’m using the same MacBook Pro that I have been editing on since in was bought new a little over a year ago. It was just that vignette effect. What bothers me so much about it is that there was no way to delete the effect or the clip. Selecting it cause the program to crash every time. That’s a serious 1.0 bug. Can you imagine getting near your deadline and that happening? That alone scares me with this app. I had such high hopes.

On OS 10.6.8, FCPX 10.0.1, the vignette effect doesn’t cause any issues for me so I don’t think the effect itself has a bug. I can add and remove it at will. Selecting the clip it’s place on behaves normally.

I’m seeing this, sort of. I downloaded the trial, imported some 1080p 23.976 footage, dropped it into a 720p timeline (most of my footage is 720p), applied a vignette effect and invoked the Inspector (both by keyboard shortcut and by menus). If I select the clip and invoke Inspector is crashes to the desktop. If I open inspector then select the clip, it crashes to the desktop.

Footage is from a 7D, .h264, the timeline is only 1 video clip and 1 audio clip (audio from a separate Tascam recorder).

I can crash this thing every single time with the steps above. Footage is on an external drive, by the way (USB).

Tested on AVCHD from Canon Vixia 1080i29.97. I’m not having a problem.
You’re both using 720p timelines could that be the correlate I’m missing?
