Q: The Final Cut Pro X CRASH Thread
Hi, I'd like to start a thread for people that experience crashed in Final Cut Pro X.
No other Applications crashes on my Mac Pro. I have never experienced crashes like
I do now with Final Cut Pro X.
During my three hours spend with FCPX it crashed about 8 - 9 times.
The Crash reporter seems to indicate that is related to the functions that use the Video Card acceleration.
It's always OpenCL / OpenGL ...
Please Post if your's crashes, too.
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7), 6 Core, 8 GB RAM, Ati 5870

Hey Andrew,
So you have FC 3 installed on the same installation of Lion?
Apple strongly advises against doing that. You should run the old Final Cut on a different installation of Lion.
I do this with Parallels 7. The old FC doesn't need that many cores or RAM anyway, so it works like a charge in a virtual machine. I left Final Cut Studio on the machine as well, at first. And I had a lot of crashes.
I then did a reinstall of Lion and a fresh install of FCPX and did not install Studio again.
I'm not virtually crash free.
I know I repeat myself: do not keep a previous version of FC installed on the same OS installation.
Look at the manual - ;) - and Apple's support documents.
Hope this helps!
