    I have just moved to FCP on a new mac, just working through it to get up to speed, I’v used Avid before.
    but working today its just stoped and wont open, Ive reinstalled it and no good . it fires up and only goes so far the nothing,
    I did earlier try move some files around but not the main files in the directory.

    could I have done somthing

    any thoughts. I have a job that I was hoping to finish in the next few days?????

    thanks Brian

    We need much more information to be able to help diagnose the issue.

    How far does it get when you say it “only goes so far then nothing”? There should be a line of info at the bottom of the start up window that tells you what FCP is loading. What does that say when it stops?

    Which files did you “move around”, exactly?

    What were you doing when it quit initially?

    When you reinstalled, what was your procedure?

    Which version of FCP are you using? What model of “new mac”? Which verison of the OS and QT are you running on the new mac?

    What are you using for media storage, and how is it connected to the computer? (less important, but sometimes useful info)

    Post back. Hopefully we can help unravel the problem!
