Any fix for FCP 4 "unexpectedly quit"?

The Prefs you need to delete are the User/Library/Prefs:
apple.com/finalcutpro/plist

Then scroll down to Final Cut Pro User Data folder and trash the FCP Pref
and FCP POA cache.

Then fix permissions.

That's if it's a FCP corruption problem.

It could be your OS. Fixing permissions is a good idea. If you see that
corrections were made, then fix them again until nothing gets changed.
