Video playback options missing
Howdy
Wonderfully infuriating new problem on my MacBook Pro. Wanting to playback using the Cinema Display option but when I go to View>Video Playback> I get an option of none. Is this a FCP problem or more a problem with the operating system settings?
I’m also getting a number of apps crashing when first opened. When re-opened work fine…
Cheers

How is the Cinema display attached?
On the Crashing issue, have you run all the Software Updates? You generally have to run that about 4 or 5 times to get everything as some updates are reliant upon components being installed before they run.

I was referring to playback using the full screen on the laptop. I’ve got some dodgy clips and want to be able to see some drop out. It was always a default option.
The crashing is things like Firefox, System Preferences, QT, iTunes a real odd array not really covered by updates…although I will run some again.

That Cinema Display option as I understand it is for a second monitor, I don’t believe you can use that option on a single display setup. I never use it so I’m not 100% certain.
As for the crashing, don’t know what to tell you on those, just be sure you’re fully up to date. I’ve been running a MacBook Pro 15″ for over a year now and it’s very solid. I never use it for editing, just all my office work, email and internet.

It was there. As i say it’s not a bad option to view playback nice and big when working off the laptop on OB’s etc. Maybe it’ll turn up when i re-install FCP and updates.
I’ve been using this 17″ for a good year and its just recently that the crashing occurs. Always restart and works fine it’s just that initial start up…
cheers
