  • Problem – Menus Are Blacked out

    Posted by Joe Nolan on September 4, 2010 at 9:38 pm

    Hey,

    I’m desperately hoping someone can help me with this problem. I had Final Cut Studio installed on my computer around December and everything has worked fine up until last week when I wanted to change speed on something and the change speed box came up black. I found a way to work around this but then I realized when I tried to use compressor the same problem happened. I tried uninstalling it and installing again but the problem is still there.

    here’s what it looks like:

    The uninstall process is very complicated if you are trying to do it by hand. There are a lot of parts that need to be removed before reinstalling. I recommend using FCS Remover.

    Their other app to delete pref files is a must also (you can back up your prefs also but this should only be done way everything is working well, not when you are having issues.

    I actually used both of those before and neither worked.

    I ended up erasing my entire hard drive, reinstalling mos x, and then finally reinstalling final cut pro. THANK GOD this worked! Hopefully don’t run into this problem again.

    Thanks for the help
