The new ProKit 6.0.2 is NOT a good update for ANYONE using Final Cut Studios. From 1.5 up to FCS 3.

The Apple Discussion Forums are jam packed with people complaining that it is messing up their program. Me included. Most notably in DVD Studio Pro 4. Old projects cannot be opened and hang up upon opening and crash the program.

Here is the discussion thread with answer on how to fix it.

In short, you need to delete the Prokit 6.0.2 update and reinstall the previous version to ProKit 5.0.1. Once complete, everything fixes itself and runs correctly almost immediately.
