Green Freeze
Running OS 10.5.2, FCP 6.0.3, QuickTime 7.4.5, 4 Gigs RAM.
Working on a DVCPRO HD project at 23.98.
For the past month no problems, but now every 10 – 20 minutes, the canvas goes green and then FCP freezes — “FCP not responding.”
I tried trashing preferences and repairing disk permissions, but this didn’t help.
Media is on a FireWire 800 drive with about 1/3 free space left.
Help! Thank you. -

Do you have any capture card or anything to monitor your footage with?
-
Yes. I am using a Matrox MXO. I disconnected it and still have the same problems.
-
Hmm. That green is usally a corrupt file somewhere.
Do you have still images in your project?
-
no stills. I slowed down one shot.
-
What format is all of your footage?
-
DVCPRO HD 1080i60. Used Cinema Tool to remove pulldown.

Hmm. That could be the culprit. How much footage do you have? The easiest way to check for corrupt footage is to make it all offline and then reconnect a handful of files at a time. Total PIA, but it tell you if one of those files went bad.

I tried “offlining” the suspect media, but it didn’t solve the problem.
So I made a new project and duplicated my most recent sequences into it. I then deleted a suspect sequence, and the problem went away!
I still have media on the drive from this corrupt sequence, and this media is in almost all of my duplicated sequences.
So it seems that a corrupt sequence was screwing up the project. but i’m not sure…
My new project has a lot less items in it. So maybe this helped?
