Q: No visible footage in FCP Viewer

Hi,

 

I have recenly purchased FCP X and  have only imovie knowledge and experience. After downloading and updating the software I imported some of my iMovie files into FCP. After doing so, the viewer was blank (I expected to see my selected clips in there) - then when I selected to play a clip FCP froze. I had to force quit as the FCP was now 'Not Responding'.

 

I tried numerous times with the same result. I seem to be able to do other functions such as cuts, edits, transitions etc but when I press Play it freezes.

 

I thought it may be the clip files, but I just inserted a title with no clip to see if that would work but experienced the same result. So far I have not been able to view a single clip in the viewer and will get the Not Responding each and every time I try to play.

 

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

Final Cut Pro X, Mac OS X (10.6.8), imac: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB
