Final Cut Pro may report an out of memory alert when opened if a Digidesign audio card is installed.

Products Affected

Final Cut Pro

Symptom

When opened, Final Cut Pro displays an "out of memory" alert and then quits.


Solution


In the Sound pane of the Mac OS X System Preferences, switch the sound output device to "Built-in audio controller."

If the issue persists, remove the Digidesign audio card.

Updating to Mac OS X 10.3 Panther should also address this.
