    Final Cut Pro 7 Won’t Launch

    Posted by Dan O’sullivan on September 10, 2014 at 3:57 pm

    I have had this same configuration working for almost 2 years and suddenly, Final Cut Pro 7 won’t start.

    I have:

    Mid 2012 15″ Macbook Pro
    8GB Ram
    512MB Nvida Graphics card
    FCP 7.0.3
    MacOS 10.8.5

    It gets through asking for hardware setup, then hangs.

    I’ve done the following:

    Trashed preferences, then used the utility to trash preferences
    Repaired Permissions
    Zapped PRAM
    Uninstalled with the FCS Remover utility
    Re-installed FCP 7. Tried to launch without updating, no go.
    Uninstalled again
    Re-installed and updated before launch, it will go through profiling for RT, then hangs

    It was not updated to the latest ProCodec update (1.0.5?) The only thing that I’ve installed between the last time FCP worked and now was Blackmagic Davinci Lite. Any thoughts

    The only additional thing I’d do is run Disk Warrior.
