FCPX Trial Ver Crashes when an Effect is added to a Clip (APPLE JOKE SHOP)

[Chris Gordon]

Just for comparison, I have no extra FX installed from anywhere. Just what came with the demo of FCP X.

I am having the same problem and I have Motion 5 installed so that isn’t the issue. I am also experiencing a horrible zooming issue where I zoom in and it keeps zooming to other areas, usually the start of the timeline which is very irritating. I do love FCPX but needs ironing out a tad 🙁

I.m getting the zoom problem as well, new in 10.01, let’s hope 10.02 soon!

Yep definitly to do with inspector as I had it closed and no crash, press the i and bang….

Maybe I can go one better, following this:
Purchase and install FCPX on iMac, Snow Leopard 10.6.8…no problems
Download and install FCPX trial on same iMac…crash, crash, crash on the usual suspects, effects.

Download and save Lion to DVD.
Boot from disc on MacBook Pro.
Use Disc Utility to erase HD and write zeros over disc.
Perform clean Lion install on MacBook.
Load FCPX trial from disc…
crash crash crash.
go figure

Hi Guys, did you know Apple have made stealth changes to the Trial ver 10.0.1 so if you are having problems with Trial version pre 07-Oct-2011 crashing when adding certain effects to a clip then trash your copy and download the Trials again. If you compare the file sizes you will notice a slight difference in number of bytes.

This is an unforgivable sneaky thing from the Apple team.

Thank you! That seems to solve the problem, at least in the bit of testing I’ve done so far.
