FCP Bugs? rendering and playback problems
anyone else seeing these problems??
I have a NTSC standard def project based on quicktimes I created from still image
sequences. The frame sizes are quite large: 2048 x 1536 rendered at 29.97 and then
scaled down in FCP to fit in a normal D1 frame. In FCP 4.5, all I had to do was “render
all” and the whole edited timeline was re-rendered in about 20 minutes (its 5:45 TRT).In FCP 5, the progress bar creeps along for 15 minutes then disappears without
leaving behind one single chunk of rendered material! However, if I select an individual
clip, or a section of up to 10 clips, they render fine! Any more than about 10 clips, and
I get the same results as before (progress bar, waiting, and nothin.) Changing the codec
to something besideds photoJPEG or uncompressed 8-bit has no efffect. Anyone seen this
problem?Also, I notice that on my system if I am playing content from the keyboard from a
sequence, hitting “J” after pausing with “K” will crash it everytime.My setup:
Dual G5 2.5, with 2.5 GB ram, Blackmagic Decklink HD Pro card running 5.x driver,
FCP 5.0.2, and OS X 10.4.2. Content: PhotoJPEG quicktimes running at 18 – 27 mb/sec
but (hopefully) rendered down to 720 x 486 uncompressed 8 bit, or alternatively
photoJPEG at D1 rez. -

THese are not good symptoms.
I’d suggest you clone your drive and then reinstall FCP. I’ve heard it can be installed right over the exising version but, frankly, I haven’t tried a reinstall.
I’m suggesting you clone your drive just so you’ll have a back up of everything.
I’m suddenly VERY interested in having clones of my system drives.bogiesan
This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”
