Did you try resetting your preferences? You can do it automatically with FCP Rescue 6, freeware.

any suggestion on what to re set prefences to?
thanks -
Well, just set them back to your personal preferences. The idea is to delete the .plist and FCP Pref folder so that Final Cut has to recreate them from scratch – thus fixing your problem if it’s due to corrupt preferences. That’s where FCP Rescue comes in handy; it makes it quicker to do this process, but also can save backup preferences to restore. Just make sure save your preferences to the stored backup for restore immediately after rebuilding the prefs from scratch and then individualizing your prefs, i.e. – don’t keep working in projects and then occasionally save your prefs as your restore, or you risk saving a slightly corrupted pref file as your restore point.
Make sure your FCP and QT are current. Rebuild permissions on your boot drive. Zap PRAM. Run daily/weekly/monthly maintenance tasks (download Mac Janitor for this – freeware). Make sure you have enough RAM and a fast enough media drive for your HD streams, and you could take out 3rd party RAM to see if that’s causing problems.
