Strangely enough, creating a new user account on your computer, and opening FCP from there does the trick..

THAT WAS IT! (as in, I concur with Mike; for some weird reason, making a fresh user worked out for me too)

Hey Eugene,

I fixed it somehow and I forgot what did it (so sorry..)
However, maybe the tips on the bottom of this page help:

Hope to wake up in the morning and remember..

cheers, Victor

Dear James, how did you end up solving this?
On my Macbook Pro, neither making a new user nor reinstalling quicktime helped and I’ve obviously checked the RGB button.
Any advice? I’m getting a little desperate as nothing seems to help..

Kind regards, Victor Milton

Reinstalling Quicktime didn’t make a difference either; it still plays white (and when paused the imaged comes back) on my MBP. Any ideas? I’m getting a little desperate..

Thanks in advance!

cheers, Victor

Hello everyone,

Did someone ever find a solution to this, as now that I’ve installed FCP 7 on my fathers macbook, the canvas is persistently white as well during playback; except for when I switch to the Alpha + RGB display, then a red haze is over it.

I can Scrub through the video when I select the background display as white instead of black (no idea what that’s about, seems retty random), but not Play

Reinstalling didn’t work, neither did trashing preferences..

Hope someone can help!

Thanks a lot in advance,

Victor Milton
