Electrical clicking and popping when I use Final Cut???
Hi,
When I open Final Cut 6.0.2 I get electrical clicks and/or pops. Also when I use Log and Capture, when I change the capture scratch and when I capture now I get a 3 to 4 sec delay on the footage being imported with a spinning beach ball and electrical pops coming from the speakers.
Why this electrical noise only when I use Final Cut?
Any suggestions?
Thanks

What else is hooked up to your machine?

Ok, I have a pair of Roland MA-8 Speakers–4 external hardrives daisy-chained–and I have my computer and things running though my APC 1500 Batterie Backup/Power Cleaner.
Thanks

Check you connections and make sure they are being used, don’t have any cables running a charge to no where. Don’t plug anything in while booting up. Macs are powerful electrically charged devices and need to be treated that way. You have a connection somewhere that isn’t secure. Could be your monitor, harddrive who knows. Macs can be working seemingly fine with a bad connection except for the poping and flashing and crashing that this would cause….

Do you have a capture card, decks, mixer? What are the speakers hooked up to?
-
No, no decks, capture cards,or mixers. The speakers are hooked up in the back of my G5, the 1/8 mini stereo input.

My headphone output is a little noisy as well, but nothing that I wouldn’t expect.
Are you sure your cables are good? Have you tried running through a mixer? IF you touch or jiggle your current cables, does the noise get worse or better?
-
It’s not the headphone outputs. The cables are good, but I dont have them running through a mixer. I cannot recreate the popping or clicking, it’s happens when I restart the computer or open Final cut or Log and capture?
Thanks

If you don’t have anything else hooked up why are you logging and capturing?
