Final Cut Pro Crashing when selecting Color Inspector

This is a known issue with FCPX 10.7. Some find trashing prefs and renders works. That doesn’t work for everyone, though. Waiting for major bug fix 10.7.1 very soon.

Yet I still cannot work on two other projects that I have because it keeps crashing.

Please delete the environment settings. It's not a fundamental solution, but restoring it to the default should make it better than the current situation.

The most stable version for Intel Mac users is FCP10.6.10. 10.7 is buggy and not developed for older Intel Macs. You should not edit important data. If you touch the color inspector icon, it will crash, so please call it with a shortcut or preset.

⌘6: Color board/color wheel

⌘7: Video scope

Save preset layouts for cut edits and color adjustments and recall them at any time, reducing the risk of crashes. 👍 Follow the link to learn how to save layout presets.

What’s the computer? If it’s an Intel system you might think of reverting to the previous version of FCP of you have backups.

You don’t need to change the OS. You just need a backup of the application and of the library. You should have at least a data library backup.
