  • FINAL CUT PRO 7 keeps crashing

    Posted by Kurt Zeisler on October 1, 2011 at 3:22 am

    Hi all,

    I am freaking out. My FCP 7.0.3 has started crashing relentlessly. Before yesterday, I’ve never had a problem. I finished my project, exported to a .mov in DVD Studio Pro, and since then I can barely run FCP without it going down. Sometimes right when I start it up, and sometimes I can get it started doing what I need before it goes, but it ALWAYS goes. I cleared my drive with Disk Utility, I trashed my prefs, have plenty of memory, and I’ve been on the phone with Tech Support all day. So far nothing has worked. This project is done, and I CANNOT get it onto a disk.

    I’m losing it, this project is critical to my our company and is due in two days, and I’ve been at this for hours with zero progress.

    Please help me!?!

    Version: 10.6.8
    Processor: 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory: 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3

    Steve, did anyone ever answer you about Final Cut 7 keeping on crashing? I am having the same problem. It has never happened before, now it happens practically as soon as I make my first edit. Please let me know if there were any solutions to cure this malady!! For some reason I was unable to find a thread on this with your post. Thanks so much.

    Liz

    Paying about 153$ (+-) to buy an App that fix a problem that should be fixed by Apple seems to me a little too much!
