(OS X 10.6.2 - FCP 7.0.1 on i5 iMac w/ 16 GB ram - already tried trashing prefs and repairing permissions)
I thought this problem would go away when I max-ed out the ram - but no.
Sometimes, I'll be able to work no worries with FCP, MOTION and AE all open at the same time. But other times, like today, I'll just have FCP open and I'll be unable to open ANYTHING else.
Not a complex project. Only two sequences. 30 second spots, DVCPRO50, 720x480, 4 tracks video and two tracks audio each. Nothing very complicated going on - plays back fine, no dropped frames.
But when I click on another application icon in the dock - nothing - no bounce - no launch.
I quit FCP and an error message tells me - unable to open... ...error -10810
and I can move on.
This didn't happen with my old dual core.
Anybody else experience this?
