I am having the same problem on my system.
All Master Templates looks blank (white) in Final Cut Pro 7.
I usually have two monitors connected but disconnecting one of them has no effect on the problem.
The Master Templates will load when selected from the viewers generator pop-up,

and the control-tab will be displayed in the viewer, showing all the proper controls for the selected template.

But once I select the video tab in the viewer, all I get is a blank white image. Editing the template to the timeline changes nothing, nor dose rendering the sequence.

Opening the same template in Motion 4 works fine. The problem only exist within Final Cut Pro 7 and only concerns Master Templates. Ordinary motion projects works without problems in Final Cut Pro 7.
Final Cut Studio 3 was installed as an upgrade on top of an otherwise fully updated Final Cut Studio 2. The OS is updated to ver. 10.5.8, the hardware is a MacPro 2×3.0 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 8 Gb RAM, ATI Radeon X1900 XT graphics card.
Any suggestions as to how this failure can be fixed would be most welcome.
