if you can’t find the program in your Utilities Folder – do a search for DISK UTILITY – open it – select your hard drive and then click repair permissions

I’ve now reloaded everything but the Boris Red FCP plugins – can’t say for sure that’s what caused the problem but will keep experimenting.

All seems well – improvements in Motion and Live Type are amazing – take time to use the tutorial DVD’s – loaded with useful hints….

On line with Apple – seems as this may be a problem with the upgrade version of FCP5 from earlier.

If you have this problem here’s what they suggest.

1. Go to Boot drive/library/receipts/finalcutpro.pkg
delete Finalcutpro.pkg in that folder

ALSO take the Plugins folder and move to desktop Library/Applicationsupport/final cup pro support/plugins

Repair permissions

Restart

Get FCP5 install disk – and reinstall JUST final cut pro (when you get to options for others Motion etc – uncheck all)

Once you reinstall – just for good luck – repair permissions again

reopen Final Cut 5

The boris folder should be in the effects/generator folder and all sould be well.

BUT – carefully reinstall third party plugins one at a time – I put all of them back in – boris Title 3d disappeared again – pulled them back out – and put back one at a time – if one plug in is not compatible it seems to bring the entire plug in folder down.
