  • Codec and “Looks” conflict in FCP

    Posted by Mike Stevenson on November 4, 2009 at 10:05 pm

    Please HELP!

    I shot in 1080i 29.97 60i just started digitizing in 1080i Apple ProRes 422HQ to save some space on the drives. When I put the clips down on the seq line, it plays fine within Final cut, but is slow and jumpy on the external monitor and when I try a Magic Bullet “Looks” effect on it it will not render and gives me the message I attached here,

    YOu need a bigger boat…er…graphics card. The one you have is underpowered for the task at hand.

    Just like that.
    The max file size you can work in 10b is 720.
    This happens with MB Look and with any other fxPlug.
    As Shane points, more GPU is the only solution.
    Is a shame that the developers are forcing us to use always the GPU.
    The first versions of MB you had the option to render in GPU or CPU.
    Cheers,

    Graded a series for Animal Planet using MB looks with a 1080i Prores timeline – was fine (abeit slow renders – but hey had lots of heavy grades) when using 6.0.5 – make sure it’s upgraded – it kept on crashing on 6.0.3. Tried trashing prefs?

    This the oppose!
    The problem is.. if you are using a second display, the FCP with MB Looks conflict with the graphic card, so to render this plugin you have to take off the second monitor display.
    regards.

    Hi Bruno,
    Very interesting observation.
    Yes,it seems that now with just one monitor i would be able to render 1080 at 10b.
    Is not a conflict, is just hat the second monitor eats resources from the card.
