FCP 6.0.1 Crash causes lost renders
So FCP crashes every now and then. Over the last two days it’s crashed three times. Each time it does, I trash my prefs and reopen it. Each time I reopen it I find that all my renders have gone offline. I can’t reconnect even though they are on my scratch disk. Today when it crashed, I didn’t trash the prefs and reopened. The renders looked to be there but when playing the footage they were offline.
Anyone have a reason this is happening? Do I have a check on a preference I shouldn’t have checked? Any work arounds for this or is it a bug that will have to get fixed?

Try using render manager to delete all renders for that project and then re-render everything.

Also, why have you not updated to 6.0.2??? THat alone may solve your issues.

I have deleted the renders and done a complete rerender. Originally I was rendering to an external G-raid TB and I thought that might have been the cause. Last night I deleted all renders and rendered to a local drive.
I am working freelance and have no control over when they upgrade to 6.0.2.

This is a known issue with 6.0.1. it would be in thier best interest to update to the latest version of everything as alot of issues got sorted out. It seems to be very stable for the most part. There are some issues with P2 stuff that seems to now have been sorted out.

You should let your employer know that the upgrade has fixed render issues for many users.

They are wary of upgrading because of the lack of backwards compatibility.

May be a little silly if you ask me. FCP has never been backward compatible except thru XML exports.
The missing render files and re-rendering a lot made the decision for us alone to make the update. But as always, clone your system drive before updating.

With what?
Then you will have to deal with the lost renders unless you follow the Apple guideline on how to correct it. It didn’t work for me all the time.

I always thought that you had backwards compatibility within the same version ie: 5.0.4 and 5.1.4
Right or wrong?
