.aif causing crash
Hi all,
We just upgraded our two edit systems to the new 12 core Mac Pros, and we’re running into a weird problem. Whenever we import an aif file (48 kHz/16 bit stereo), FCP immediately crashes/closes (FCP has unexpectedly quit …). This happens on both of our systems. We receive our mixed audio from an outside sound guy, and he hasn’t been changing anything he’s been doing on his end. We have to recompress the aif at a different bit rate to get them to play nice.We’ve tried the normal stuff (trash prefs, permissions repair, restart) to no avail.
Anyone else run into this?

They came with Snow Leopard installed. Clean installs from scratch for everything else.

I have also had NUMEROUS issues with my 12 core mac pro, hangs, judders, crashes. Mixing varicam and dslr all in a prores format. I have to older Mac Pros in my office that handle the same footage beautifully. Apple sent me a new MAC PRO which does the EXACT same thing. Please help! I spent $7,500 on a cheese grater!

Oh great.. same problem here.. Aif files from Ableton live crash Final Cut Pro as soon as I press play.. Looks like its back to vegas. Thats too bad, I was having fun with FCP. But its so far being nothing but a drag, really gets me worked up for a program on its level to behave like this. Kind of like an adult flopping on the floor throwing a tantrum. Just doesn’t fit.

Chris,
Are you saying you’re brand new to FCP from Vegas and that you’re going to completely throw up your hands and give up without even trying to get assistance from guys who know lots of stuff, just because you read two or three old posts here that have made you feel hopeless?

Hi thanks! Well, I was pressed for time but I did find a work around.. Basically I just go to the media manager and re-compress.. It does the aiff files really fast.. Now I am re-compressing the two video tracks, and thats going to take an hour before I can get started. I only have to recompress the video and audio because I have 8 audio tracks and two video. What would really make my day is if I could find a way to use this rocket of a server hp proliant g3 raid5 4 dual core xeon, I can hear it now screaming along doing almost nothing except serving up a few websites. Thanks I guess I was ready to flop around on the floor wasnt I.. 🙂
