Just following up…

This problem turned out to be a hard drive issue. Once I booted from my Snow Leopard backup and continued to have problems I knew something was up. A simple disk repair of my external scratch disk did the trick.

Thank you for the feedback. I meant the Final Cut Events folder is where I am looking in Finder. I see the event I created for this clip, but the clip is not in there. A Finder search reveals nothing.

I will try trashing the prefs, but I just installed the software – I can’t see how they could be corrupt.

oh no….don’t tell me Apple’s new 64 bit professional video editor doesn’t work with Apple’s new 64 bit operating system.

maybe I should click this ad that says switch to Adobe from FinalCut and get 50% off……. i have been having quite a lot of crashes and i’ve been unable to import footage from my DV cam now. but, that’s a new thread.

Thanks, I’m happy for you. Wish mine worked.

Anyone else have any ideas?

This is the puck you are talking about, correct? Or am I missing something? This puck will not drag……

[Tom Ohmit]

I am double-clicking the actual text. The same puck appears as in your screenshot, but is not drag-able. When mousing over the puck, the mouse is still a text cursor and the puck will not move. When I click the transform tool, that same puck moves the entire frame.

Is there a setting or something that enable me to use the puck to drag the textbox?

[Tom Ohmit]

Thanks Brendan, I’ll give it a try, This is a pretty big oversight by Apple to not include a basic, functional title plugin.

[Tom Ohmit]

Dragging the puck moves the entire text frame, which doesn’t solve my problem. I need to move just the text box inside the frame. Thanks though.

Let’s see if this works….trying to add a screen shot again.
