Color quits upon sending timeline to it from Final Cut
by Michael Lansdell (huatnee) on Jul 8, 2008 at 8:02:10 am

Finally have convinced the powers that be to upgrade me to Final Cut Studio 2, my main reason being that I want to use Color for our programme grades (previously we've used Final Cut's built in colour correction tools - very boring!).
However, when I send a timelline to Color, it "Quits Unexpectedly" every time, I've restarted, software updated, etc etc...

I'm not using Leopard yet, but the minimum requirements don't say I have to be to use Color, anyone else any ideas?

Many thanks,

I'd run through the normal stuff- run Software updates, trash your prefs, etc.

I had a nested object on the timeline, which I've now removed, and it's fine. Thanks for your help though guys.

How do I update Final Cut? My standard Software Update thing isn't showing Final Cut, I'm sure that used to be what I used to do things like that.

Your signature says you're using FCP 6.0.1. That's a very unstable version of FCP. Move to at least 6.0.2 or even 6.0.3

I'm having exactly the same problem with Color at the moment. It keeps quitting unexpectedly. I'm running the latest updates. Although I have to admit I have not been using Color enough to know whether these issues might have been caused by the last Quicktime update.

It is frustrating though! As a result I'm having to use FCP's toolset instead.

Great DVD though Walter. I put a review up on my site if you are interested.
