FCP crashing alllll the time!

Is it happening when it tries to auto-save? I have heard that before, it would also explain crashing at regular intervals.

I can't remember any version (from 1 thru 4) ever crashing at all really for anything but that.

Anyhow, try deleting the user preferences file, that is a VERY common cause of problems. See apple.com and go to support for details. After that, try re-installing. The Apple support site is pretty good though.
 
my fcp has been solid for many versions now. what you have is not normal. the only crash I get is always when I start it, I have to make two tries. i think there is an easy way to fix it, but I don't care now.

trash preferences

if that doesn't work, just do a re-install.

it would be good and always a good practice to

apps>utilitites> disk utility

and repair permissions on your drive. follow the directions for startup drive if this is your startup ddrive.

or use disk warrior reguarly. thats a 3rd party appl. i need it like handsoap to stay clean and peace of mind.
 
I'll give both of your suggestions a shot tomorrow afternoon.... I'll let you guys know how it turns out. Thanks fellas

I don't think disk warrior is compatable with Tiger

it works fine.
you might be talking about tech tool pro. I bought it recently and returned it after reading ongoing horror stories about the incompatibility.
 
Do you have all of the auto-updates?

If not, go to the apple in the upper left corner of your screen and click "Software Update..."

My version of FCPHD would crash EVERY time I clicked Sequence - Settings until I got the update.

you know, that's a good question because I don't think so..... I haven't tried anything yet, been busy but will have time tomorrow.
