Multitouch Gestures not working.

Is anyone else having trouble with FCPx multi-touch gestures?


I am on a MacBook Air. Scrolling works, but Pinch to Zoom and Rotate to Scrub do not. I double-checked my system trackpad settings and all are activated, so that's not the problem.

What makes it even worse is the fact that now, even LESS multitouch guestures seem to be working, like scolling with two fingers to the side formerly travelled through the timeline on a edit-to edit basis, and now swipes my fullscreen apps in lion!!! (Which is horrible, since I loved the two finger swipe on my magic mouse to skip back and forth through websites...)

In another thread someone suggested opening System Preferences ->Trackpad, and deselecting/reselecting all of the options. Some report it worked for them, others no. I'm one of the nos... I've also reported to Apple that after attempting that fix, I became totally unable to scroll any Safari windows using the slider! Had to force quit.


I think we've found a major bug in Lion. 😟

This to will pass. I am guessing it will work as intended (and explained in the manual) in the first FCPX update. It's anyones guess when this will happen, but until them it ***.


I bought a couple of Magic Trackpads way back when specifically for the timeline scrolling and zooming in FCP Studio. It was awesome. Looking forward to it coming to X.

I use a brand new MacBook Air, and suddenly today the magicmouse movement was erratic, jumping around aimlessly. At the same time, vertical and horizontal scrolling was gone. Actually, clicking was the only thing still working.


After searching the forums and trying blindly to find solutions (including downloading magicprefs, deleting preference files in the library / preference folder etc., restarting ( hotstart ) the machine, - suddenly I got a Kernel panic / crash. Never seen this before.... Looking at the log after the forced restart, there was something wrong with

com.apple.driver.AppleMultitouchDriver


- perhaps crashed. Anyway, I had to coldstart the machine and - presto ! - it worked.


So, if you´re at loss, try coldstarting your machine ( i.e. completely off, then on again, instead of just restart ).


If still not working, try to search for the driver name above and solutions for this.
