Just in Case anyone else has a similar issue…
I was working with Final Cut Pro no less then 4 days ago, and today I made an attempt to capture footage from tape, and it caused FCP to crash…I ran through different scenarios and problem solving techniques, and I came up with the same solution, nothing…
I got a little help from the Final Cut Pro forums, but for the most part I still came up empty handed…
I finally called Apple Tech Support and a guy named Shaun listened to my problem, and told me that his best guess is that I Delete my User Preferences. To which I thought sounded kinda odd, but he said give it a try…
At this point I was willing to try anything, so he sent me a document on how to do just that…and I ran through the process step by step, and low and behold…it worked! I’m now in the process of capturing footage…
I can’t explain it, I don’t understand it…but something about that process actually worked…
So if anyone else has the same problem, give it a try…the only thing you have to lose is your custom layouts, and your capture presets…and how long does that take to get back, a half hour?
Here’s a link to the document that Shaun sent me…Thanks Shaun.
