Helpful articles for Final Cut Pro for Mac, Final Cut Pro for iPad and Final Cut Camera:
Suddenly, whenever I press play (either the button or the spacebar) the project just skips right to the end of the project. I can't watch any of it, anywhere I start it goes right to the end. I've tried resetting preferences, and making new libraries/projects. What should I do?
Link to see what's happening:
Start by deleting preferences.
To delete preferences, hold down command and option while starting FCP X and click Delete Preferences.
The application will start in a default state, and open an "Untitled" library. Reopen the library you were working on, set the preferences the way you like them, and try again.
If the problem persists: does it also happen in a new project? Just create a project, add one or two clips. Does it play?
If so, the problem may be in the project. In that case, select all, Copy, make a new project, Paste.
Does this new project work correctly?
See if the same thing happens with the spacebar in the QT player. Did you reboot the computer?
Restarted the computer and now it works... Don't know what that was. But if anyone has that problem, try restarting the computer.
It's a pretty rare problem, but it seems to plague some systems occasionally.
