  • Final cut pro crashes constantly

    Posted by Ross Hammond on October 16, 2005 at 9:59 pm

    Simple as that it crashes when you press space bar too quickly, scrub clips in viewer, use the jog wheel in viewer etc. etc. I tried to use multi clip and it would play for three seconds then crash.

    Also when I import pshop images typically type as a layer, when I render it I get either a green line on one end on my graphic or a pink line only once I render it….

    I use Dual 2.5 G5.
    6 gigs of ram
    Final cut studio5.
    Xserve raid fiber channel.
    Decklink HD pro card.

    No programs are open except for final cut when I am using it.
    Any help is appreciated thank you.

    THE FOLLOWING COMES FROM THE KEN STONE WEBSITE:
    “Over 5,000 years ago Confucius wrote: ‘If you are toiling away, you have changed nothing and FCP heads South on you, [starts behaving in strange ways] then it is time to trash your FCP Preferences.’ ”

    Click the following link for instructions.

    https://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/trashing_fcp_prefs.html

    A great way to do this is to use “FCP Rescue” a free Apple Script that will Trash the Preferences for you (and restore nearly all of your user settings afterward).
    There are versions for FCPro & FCExpress.

    Download these free Apple Scripts at

    This is one FCP tip that has helped in hundreds of “odd” problems.
