  • problems while editing

    Posted by Kaputano on August 11, 2005 at 4:53 pm

    hi,

    i’m just working on a newly set up tiger machine, and
    am encountering problems when editing (FCP5)…

    every now and then (after i deleted “regions”, moved them ’round in the sequence or did some undo steps)
    the sequence shows me the correct regions (as i did cut), but there’s nothing in them..
    after scaling the view of the sequence it seems to “update” to the “as-is” state, which means that some regions
    are simply gone now.
    and when i do a undo then it seems as if it jumps to a point in working progress way behind-or even to some
    cut i never did!!

    heck, i don’t know why!!!

    where running the system as qualified by blackmagic(latest BMD extreme-driver)

    just leaves me to scream:

    HELP PLEASE!!!
    i’m in the middle of a project here!!

    kind regards

    stefan kroesbacher

    First thing to always try is to Quit FCP, Restart the Mac, Open your FCP project and try again.

    Next:
    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 on how to do this.

    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.

    How did you do the upgrades? Did you do a clean install of Tiger and FCP5?

    do you think that that’s the problem?

    kind regards
