Master Templates in FCP7

[Gabriel Cheifetz]

Rob,

Do you have a 2nd monitor plugged in? Some of our users are reporting that a second monitor causes Master Templates to show up as white frames. If you have a 2nd monitor, try unplugging it and restarting. That might do the trick.

I am having the same problem on my system.
All Master Templates looks blank (white) in Final Cut Pro 7.
I usually have two monitors connected but disconnecting one of them has no effect on the problem.
The Master Templates will load when selected from the viewers generator pop-up,

and the control-tab will be displayed in the viewer, showing all the proper controls for the selected template.

But once I select the video tab in the viewer, all I get is a blank white image. Editing the template to the timeline changes nothing, nor dose rendering the sequence.

Opening the same template in Motion 4 works fine. The problem only exist within Final Cut Pro 7 and only concerns Master Templates. Ordinary motion projects works without problems in Final Cut Pro 7.
Final Cut Studio 3 was installed as an upgrade on top of an otherwise fully updated Final Cut Studio 2. The OS is updated to ver. 10.5.8, the hardware is a MacPro 2×3.0 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 8 Gb RAM, ATI Radeon X1900 XT graphics card.

Any suggestions as to how this failure can be fixed would be most welcome.

The problem has been solved now! Removing the Magic Bullet Colorita FXplug-in did the trick.
I deleted the MBCC.fxplug and the MBCC_Slider.fxplug form the ~/Library/Plug-Ins/FxPlug folder and the GLCapsInfo.framework from the ~/Library/Frameworks folder and now the Master Templates renders in the Final Cut Pro viewer again.

So be aware : The Magic Bullet Colorista plug-in from Red Giant Software has a conflict with the Master Templates in Final Cut Pro 7.

It turns out that I just needed to update the Colorista Fxplug-in on my system to the latest version. That one has no conflict with the drawing of Master Templates in the viewer.
