  FCP 6 frequent crashing, no error message

  Posted by Lillie Zuck on July 7, 2011 at 5:11 pm

  Hi there,

  I’ve been experiencing a problem with FCP 6, I’m hoping to get some advice. I’m editing with FCP 6 and experiencing very frequent crashing without any error messages. I usually have a couple projects open that are between 50 – 120 mb, with one of those being 120 mb and the others being around 50 or 60 mb.

  Here are the stats.

  Mac OS X v 10.5.8

  Processor: 2 X 2.26 GHZ Quad Core Intel Xeon

  Memory: 8 GB 1066 MHZ DDR3

  FCP v 6.0.6

  Drives: HD One Cal Digit drives 10 TB.

  Thanks for any advice!

  Thanks! Yes, we knew that about the project file size, but needed someone to scold us first. 🙂

  Thanks for the advice about the codec issue. We’ll keep that in mind if making the projects smaller doesn’t seem to be the solution.
  Another related question: if we break up the projects so that they’re 30 mb, how many of those can we have open at once? Just one?
