    This is the first problem I’ve had with Final Cut 7 (latest update) in a while.

    Running 10.7.4
    2.66 GHZ intel Core i7 Macbook Pro
    8GB Ram
    SSD Hard drive.

    Editing with a firewire GTech Drive

    Had a bunch of DSLR footage that I transcoded to ProRes. When I’m editing, after a couple minutes of going through footage it’ll just lock up and get a beach ball. Sometimes after a minute, I can get back in there. Other times it just freezes and I have to force quit.

    I got this error log here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/10314417/finalcuterrormessage.html

    I’ve used DiskWarrior on both my startup SSD drive and the firewire. I’ve reinstalled Final Cut…No luck.

    Right now I’m reconverting all my DSLR footage to prores again, in hopes I got a bum file that is tripping me up. But, I’m not sure if that will work.

    New prores exports are doing the same thing…

    i’ll ask the obvious questions, is all your media on the external drive, how full is that drive, and how fast is it?

    Cheers

    Sometimes I get this error message:
    “The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50).”

    For example when I try to empty the trash, etc. Something has been off…

    Ah, in typical fashion, after spending all weekend with the problem…I decided to transfer the video files to another drive and re-transcode and…no problems.
