  FCP keeps crashing when loading thumbnails from bin

  Hey folks,

  I am having constant issues where FCP keeps crashing when I load a bin with thumbnails. This doesn’t happen every time I open a bin, but after I open say 6 or 7 bins. After the research I have done I have come to a couple of possible solutions 1= this previous post
  https://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9545404#9545404

  The only thing that is stopping me from trying this procedure is I don’t have another Mac with the VADriver, so I have to extract it from the OS DVD, which is fine thanks to the Pacifist program which makes it easier, but I don’t know how to get the specific file extracted.
  I also noticed that the guy who solved the same issue with this procedure has an older OS to mine, so surely with the new OS the problem would have been resolved??

  2= the other solution seems to be to put the footage onto a hard drive with a faster connection other than firewire 800. But this doesn’t seem right to me because the project worked perfectly fine on the old PowerPC Mac using the same external FW800 drives I am using on this computer.

  I would appreciate any advice. at this point I am probably wasting around 1-2 hours a day with FCP crashing and having to reopen the project to work on it again.

  Anyone having similar issues?

  Have you tried trashing the thumbnail cache and FCP prefs?

  Yeah I have. Doesn’t make a difference.

  Are you using any 3rd party I/O like Black Magic Multibridge or AJA Cona.
