I had the same problem today, with deadlines a-go-go.

I called Apple and they told me that this is a “known problem” and that currently the only fix is to wipe the hard drive and re-install the operating system.

I told him that that was totally unacceptable, and asked him to step me through some alternative procedures (like reinstalling after deleting some Library files).

Nothing worked. I had to use an older machine with FCP 5.1 installed to do all my exports. I’m quite tempted to return Final Cut Studio 2, but they won’t let me because it’s software.

A letter to fake Steve Jobs is next.

Good luck, friend. We both need it.
