Would love to have that desktopvideoout.component file. Were you able to upload? thanks,

[Jeffrey Reid]

Yes! Thanks indeed. I was beginning to pull my hair out. I’m trying to get my hands on the file as well, but if you could post it that’d be great!!

I managed to get to that file on the FCP7 install disc.
here’s what to do:

Load up your Final Cut Studio Install disk,
or if you’ve made a disk image (good idea) access that.

Inside that, notice that the “Instal Final Cut Studio” package is actually an Alias,
so right-click on that and “Show Original”

You’ll be taken to a folder called “Installer” inside of which is another folder called “Packages”

Inside the Packages folder locate the VideoOutSupport.pkg,
right-click on it, and “Show Package Contents”

Inside the Contents folder, locate the Archive.paz.gz file.
Drag it to the desktop, and double click on it to un-zip it.

This will create a folder called “Library”
Open it, go to the QuickTime folder inside it,
and there you will find the file “DesktopVideoout.component”

Put this file in Macintosh HD > Library >QuickTime,
replacing the similarly named file there.

Digital Cinema Desktop Preview should now work.

cheers,

i just got a new Software Update notification:

“Pro Applications Update 2009-01 addresses general compatibility issues, improves overall stability, and addresses a number of other minor issues. This update is recommended for all users of Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Server, and Logic Studio.”

it’s relatively small,
i downloaded only and had a look,
sure enough, there is a new VideoOutSupport.pkg in there.

i’m pretty sure this is the official fix.

is that an update to the update?

[Nick Meyers]

i’m guessing it is,
but i’m not 100% sure.

maybe i’m getting the original update again because i changed the file over?
(thats why i didn’t install it)

is anyone else getting the update?

Nick Meyers now writes:

well i installed it, and Desktop Preview BROKE again!

i quite FCP, ran software update again, and got the all clear.

then replaced the DesktopVideoout.component again,

Desktop Preview now works again.

and now when i run Software Update, i get the “Pro Applications Update 2009-01” notification again!

so i’m leaving it alone now.
