Hi Tom,

Thanks again,

I’ll repair permissions again, as you suggested, but to answer your
question, I’m running FCP 6.0.6 on OSX 10.5.6.

I haven’t upgraded FCP or OS X in ages.
My drives are daisy chained via Fire Wire [except for one USB Drive that I reformatted earlier today as Mac OS Extended].

When I launch FCP from the Application folder, I’m not even getting a splash screen or a crash error. When I click that icon I get that faded zoom thing that flies out of the icon, but after that I get nothing. Nada.

Thanks again,

W

Thanks Tom,

Well, I used FCP Rescue to delete the prefs – and Disk Utility to repair the permissions [log below].

The application is still not opening.

Any other ideas? Do I have to reinstall FC Studio?

Permissions repair complete

Hi Peter,

Thanks for taking the time – much appreciated.

Yes, it is an improvement – I guess as much as can be expected with material like this.

Maybe you can let me know what software you used to do this.
I’ve got quite a few clips that I’ll need to correct for this film.

Thanks in advance,

Wayne

Andrew,

Thanks – good to know. At the very least it means that I’m not running some freaky-deaky version of FCP.

I’ll just ride the ol’ mute button whilst I capture 25 tapes.

All the best,

Wayne

Hi Andrew,

Just curious – Does your L&C window look the same as mine?
Or do you have the Preview control, etc?

I’m on FCP 6.0.6

Tx,

Hi,

Thanks – I’m actually capturing from HDV tape via Firewire to the HDV codec.

No problem David, I understand the frustration. I’ll post over at the COW feedback form.

And thanks Jeremy for the tip – and to Rafael for embedding my
errant interface.

As you can see, the audio’s “Preview” button is missing – along with a whole lot of other controls. Hmmm?

Any takers on a fix?

Thanks again in advance,

Wayne

Hi Dave,

Let me rephrase – I am unable to embed images.
I went through the process via the pop-up – and I’m getting an “Image Uploaded” message – but for some reason, my Firefox isn’t displaying the image, nor is the pop-up spitting out “embed” or “link” data.

Hence I had to do it the old-fashioned way.

But thanks all the same.

Rafael,

Thanks, I’ve actually gone ahead and opened a new thread because my question has changed.

Y’all can follow it at:

Thanks again for the help,

Thanks Rafeal,

Well, well — now that certainly answers one question, as to why I couldn’t turn the preview audio off.

Now the bigger question is, what the *#%# is wrong with my FCP that it looks this way.
I’m running 6.0.6 and everything else is running smoothly.

Anyone have any ideas what I need to do to get the full L&C window operational?

Thanks,

Wayne
