Hi Jinan,
When my FC crash I don’t even dare to have a look to the Crash Log. But I think to read this is not much difficult.
The Log is really short because FC is just starting. You need to read from down up.
See in the:
The application starts:
– 81 com.apple.FinalCutPro 0x00004180 start + 48
Is Charging till the line 19.
Then is charging the Plugins
– 15 FinalCutPro.Plugins.
It seems that charge the clips:
– 11 com.apple.QuickTime 0x949b85c8 NewMovieFromFile + 72
And when LiveTypes shows-up, start to be problems:
– 4 com.apple.LiveType.component 0x04d4…..
In this case also to check if this was the issue was easy.
I don’t know why Fc was unable to open those LiveType docs. You may have updated something. Or you may need up-date something. Really don’t know.
I think that Gary is quite right. You are running FC 4.5 in a G4 with a video card with only 32MB video memory. Probably will work much better with Mac OX 10.3 or even an earlier version. Also you need to see which QT version is the most suitable. I think I can remember FC HD 4.5 was quite stable. I think you can find lot of information in old threads about the best combination for your Mac. Treat it well.

Mac OX 10.5.2-FC 6.02-QT 7.4.1
G5 2x2Gh 4GbRAM-BlackMagic Extreme
PMBP 17″Core2Duo 4GbRAM-AJA ioHD
JVC DTV-17″
SONY EX-1 . SONY PD170
..and always a big mess on top of the table.
