This is probably a silly set of questions but anyway: what exact version of FCP are you using (5.0.0?). On what sort of Mac? Is that a supported configuration?
fcp 5.1.2
I have Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 / studio - but fcp5.1.2 does not want to open. all other programs open accept fcpro. Aargh! Why? I work on a powerbook g4 and have lacie external drive. I do not have Motion - so it cant be that. Please help someone!😱

I'm having the exact same problem. I was working on a project last night and now this morning final cut will not start up from either the dock or the project file on my xternal HD.
anyone??
anyone??
Restore factory setting's for FCPro
Hi I did a google when I was having this problem yesterday. Something to do with the Preference files getting corrupted. So I downloaded this program, pushed the restore button and now the FCPro opened up! Cool.
FCP Attic worked for me.

Here is another Rescue program but it didn't fix my problem, so maybe it is good for something.

ok, so something very interesting has happened. i used that program to trash my preferences, but FCP still wouldnt open. then i tried it again and unplugged my external HD before starting FCP and FCP opened.
but now every time i try to open my project, the program gives me the pinwheel of death and stops working.
I can only assume something is wrong with my project. Does anyone know how i can solve this??

Google your question.
You might find another user group, like a FCPro group to ask your questions. Or maybe someone has answered that question on line. Google is a life saver! Also call a Video/DVD company in your town. Sometimes some one will help you.
I hope you get it worked out soon.

hey, although i'm not sure what caused the initial problem (probably a corrupt file), i'm pretty sure final cut is miss behaving becuase i have not updated it in a while. i'll let u know how it goes.
