Final Cut Pro 7 Master Templates are white!

Pulling Magic Bullet solved the issue for me as well. Thank you!

I just Pulled my Magic Bullet CC fxplug and it worked fine, I droped them back into the FXplug folder and the master templates when white.

Is this an Apple bug or a Magic Bullet Bug?

I'm not sure who's at fault here, but I'm suspecting Magic Bullet, since their Colorista plugin hasn't been updated in a while. I was informed on another forum that Colorista hasn't been supported with Adobe CS4, and that's been out longer than FCS3.

I've opened a case with Red Giant Software, so they're aware of the issue.

I'm afraid I may have spoken too soon, I'm still having some white video issues, and some issues where video will show up in the viewer, but when it's placed in a timeline it shows up as either white, or very very bright in the canvas. I'll do some more testing this evening, see if it still happens with bars and tone, etc. It's possible that I may have some other FXPlug effects that need to be pulled.

I upgraded to FCStudio 7, first all was well, I played through a project - two days later, there's nothing but white screens on all projects and I don't even have that Magic Bullets plugin. Aargh, I was about to send off the finals of my short film!

Just thinking about it, I ran FCS 7 before running software update. It worked fine. All that's changed between two days ago and now was running Software Update on this new machine. The updates installed were:
Security Update 2009-004 1.0
MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.2

I'm having this same issue with footage being white. The audio works fine on any clips in the viewer or the canvas, but the picture is just completely white. There are occassionally some flashes of what looks like supersaturated pieces of whatever the clips are when they are opened, closed, etc. Some clips will play back fine in the viewer, but as soon as I drop them into a sequence, they look super blown out in the canvas. Also, just when I open Final Cut, without any project open, the viewer (and canvas, as soon as I create a project) will be white instead of black.

I have no idea what the issue is or how to solve it, and it's driving me crazy. I thought that maybe it could've been something to do with the Magic Bullet suite, as I did have that installed, but I deleted all the plug-ins, as mentioned earlier in this discussion, and nothing happened. I then did a reinstall of Final Cut Studio 3, but still nothing. Any ideas on what I could do or what could I might be missing?

This may or may not help- I needed to burn a dvd in dvd studio pro using some already made Mpeg2's and AC3's, and even though DVD Studio Pro showed all the video as being white, I was still able to burn a normal working disc.

Yes, Michael this works, but I had to make sure I got all of the plugins off. I found this post, I did it and it works:

The problem has been solved now! Removing the Magic Bullet Colorita FXplug-in did the trick.
I deleted the MBCC.fxplug and the MBCC_Slider.fxplug form the ~/Library/Plug-Ins/FxPlug folder and the GLCapsInfo.framework from the ~/Library/Frameworks folder and now the Master Templates renders in the Final Cut Pro viewer again.

So be aware : The Magic Bullet Colorista plug-in from Red Giant Software has a conflict with the Master Templates in Final Cut Pro 7.

I'm having the same issue. Any video I play appears white, and I DON'T have the magic bullet plugins.

Thanks for everyone's help. Hopefully there will be a fix soon!

I'm also having this same issue. I just upgraded from the previous version of FCP and now all of my video files appear white ONLY in FCP.

And I don't have any of the aforementioned 3rd party plug-ins.

Thanks for your help!

I had the same issue after an upgrade from fcs2. I was hoping to keep livetype and all of it's plugins, etc. Had to uninstall fcs2 and install 3 all together. Works fine now. Thanks.

I am having a similar problem. The templates display great in motion, but appear as white boxes when I run FC.

I am running a MacPro with a dual monitor display, and the wackiest thing is that the Templates will not display when I boot while both monitors are plugged in. However, if I boot the machine with only 1 monitor attached, then attach the second monitor, it works fine.

Any help would be much appreciated, this is just really annoying!
