OH my god!
After a deathly slow re-install of FCP Studio 2…
It still crashes on loading!?
I cant believe it.
Searching the forum, it seems I had this same issue a few months back but removing the prefs worked then.
heeeeelp….

maybe the Aja drivers?
maybe need to reinstall as a different user?

Ta Tom,

I used the FCPrescue thingamabob, which AFAIK does remove the prefs.

I have already started a reinstall. I uninstalled FCP only, but the install is reinstalling the whole Suite regardless. God i hope this works.

Hi Tom and Peter,
Thanks,
I did try an autosave but it also crashed.
I wasnt aware FCP would find the project/media If i renamed the folder.
I have just unmounted the drive and again FCP crashed on loading… i guess i have to reinstall FCP or the whole studio!

Thanks,
Mark.

Still no joy here, I have:

fixed permissions
restarted system
logged in as a different user
used fcprescue to delete, resore and delete settings
powered down and restarted system
moved all media and projects to another folder

any ideas greatly appreciated!
Mark.

Hi
I renamed the folder containing project and media, and FCP still did not load…

Hi there
Sorry, i have 8 core, with LHe, and Studio2.

I did not repair permissions since the crash, but IT dept did mess with my password earlier today (restarting did ask me for my password and keychain thing which i did enter)

I dont know how to repair permissions and dont know what PRAM is… please tell!

Ta
Mark

i think colin is right about the field thing.
in pal, DV has a different field order from SD or DVD MPEG-2, and for some reason both Premier and FCP do not correct this automatically. Make sure you are rending with Upper field first.
If this does not work, then apply the field switching filter (not sure exactly what its called) and advance the field by +1 on each clip in the timeline and re-render. That should sort it.

[Wayne Carey] “To be perfectly honest, it still takes about the same amount of time to work tapeless as it does with tape. Faster on the front end but it bites you on the back end, so usually it evens out for us.”

plus the fact that when you capture from tape, you have a good look at all the material. ingesting tapeless media lacks this step… and when you are spending that time on the back end, its wasted time rather than productive.

i guess as long as you are charging for backing up too it should be about the same.
