short cut keystrokes fail to work in Final Cut Pro 5.1
All of a sudden the short cut key strokes (e.g. B for blade, BB for double blade) fail to work in FCP 5.1. Trashing the preferences, rebuilding the permissions (Apple First Aid), and re-booting failed to solve the problem. Received an ugly message “Configuration error This software requires certain hardware or software which is missing.
• Quartz Extreme Support”one time why trying to launch FCP. After rebooting, able to relaunch FCP. Still no success at using keystrokes. Previously saved projects seem to be intact. Please advise.
Thank you.

Post the Mac you’re working with and include what graphics card you’re using.

Thanks for your email, Jerry (by the way, I have and love your book, read it cover-to-cover). The problem related to the failure of the keyboard shortcuts to work was solved before I read your email, by a colleague/mentor. Solution: the QT file was corrupt and causing problems with FCP; when the latest version of QT was downloaded, the problems resolved re: keystroke shortcuts and the shutting down of FCP when bringing clips from the viewer to the timeline. Another problem was that the keyboard had been set to French for use on a French project and was causing FCP to shut down. Thanks again for your reply.
