Problem with Final Cut Pro

Hey Guys I'm new to this forum hope someone can help with this problem.

I'm having with a problem with Final Cut pro, when I try to open it it keeps on saying "Final Cut quit unexpectedly" I hit relaunch every time and the same message keeps coming up so Final Cut Pro wont open.

I tried to reinstall it from the .dmg file but when I try to open that the message I get is 'the following disk images failed to mount, reason: no mountable file systems"

Anyone know how I can solve this or reinstall Final Cut Pro without hassle. I need to get FCP back up and running ASAP

Cheers

One common thing to try is to remove (or rename) the FCP preferences file from your Library/Preferences folder.

Why would you have a .dmg file. You should have original DVDs for FCP.

OK the "Final Cut Pro User Data" folder in library/preferences, if I delete that will it help the problem. I use an external 1TB drive as the scratch disc so should I change some of the Final Cut pro folder on that too.

I really need to get this problem solved and I'm stumped I have no idea how to fix it.

Cheers

I was speaking of the com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist file. I hadn't realized Apple has a folder in there too.

I don't think changing the drive scratch disc should make a difference for this problem. Although if the problem is caused by some kind of permission issue, then it would be worth a try.

You may want to do further research on Apple's FCP forum because there is a lot of expertise there.
