  FCP6.0.1 crashes while importing (convering) from AVC HD

  Posted by Andrzej Artymowicz on November 7, 2007 at 1:22 am

  Hi!

  My FCP 6.0.1. crashes while converting Panasonic AVC HD files to ProRes or AIC or even audio only. I’m on MacPro 4x3GHz, 8GB RAM.

  This conversion works on my MacBookPro.

  Each system has 10.5 leopard, latest versions of FCP, QT etc.

  Any ideas?

  FCP and Leopard haven’t been properly introduced?

  Each computer OS was upgraded the same way…

  What I am saying is is that FCP is not Leopard certified as of right now. Until Apple release an update, it’s going to be hard to track down problems. I assume you have tried to trash preferences, zap PRAM and repair permissions?

  Do you have a machine with TIger and FCS2 installed on it? Does that work? If it does, then you can import the footage there, then transfer the footage to the Leopard machine. Why it works on your laptop and not the MacPro is weird.

  Hi Jeremy!

  1. What I am saying is is that FCP is not Leopard certified as of right now.
  2. Until Apple release an update, it’s going to be hard to track down problems. I assume you have tried to trash preferences, zap PRAM and repair permissions?
  3. Do you have a machine with TIger and FCS2 installed on it? Does that work? If it does, then you can import the footage there, then transfer the footage to the Leopard machine.
  4. Why it works on your laptop and not the MacPro is weird.

  ad1. https://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/finalcutpro/specs.html
  Requirements are: OX 10.4.9 or later… is 10.5 later:) ?
  Where did you saw that statement about compatibility issues?

  ad2. I think they should release update to their most important programs in the day of Leopard release (like they did with Aperture, even iLife updates etc). Maby they are unprepared;)

  ad3. No I’m testing it on Leopard only MacBookPro and it works on that machine…
  Both machines with latest software and fresh upgrades…

  ad4. Yeah that’s MEGA weird… That’s the biggest problem. I was expecting from Apple some kind of compatibility… 🙁 Ok it’s just in theory…

  1) 10.5 is later, but it might be too much later.

  2) Did you trash prefs, zap PRAM and repair permissions?

  3) Then import on MBP and transfer the media to MacPro.

  4) It’s all just testing theories at this point.

  ad1. Yes, it’s too late for MacPro.

  ad2. Sure I did.

  ad3. Yes, I did it that way but it hurts;) Conversion time to ProRes on MBP take’s a little time. But at the other side it actually works.

  ad4. Maby I’m demanding to much from Apple;)
