I ran the automatic Mac Pro EFI Firmware Update this morning and it rendered Compressor useless to me. I submit jobs and they remain on "hold" with the message that there is an unknown time remaining to complete (been like that for 30 mins on a QT movie that is only 30 secs long).
I also posted a motion problem earlier today but now I am thinking that was the beginning of something more serious..

I think that this update is also affecting Motion and when applying behaviors to objects (i.e. the fade ins/outs are not doing what they are supposed to do when I export/render).
I think that my FCS 2 may be corrupted now. I have been running smoothly without any hitches for 3 months. Today, my Mac actually started crashing and locking up (flashback = Windows XP).
I have a video project that is due tomorrow and Mac Tech Support is closed. Does any of this sound familiar? Is this something that I can fix by reinstalling? If I have to reinstall, what is the best way to do that and not lose anything I might need (I am ok if I lose preferences as long as I do not lose any projects/clips, etc).
