  • FCP 6.0.6 Crashes when viewing PNGs

    Posted by Clayton Nygaard on January 12, 2010 at 8:02 pm

    One of the edit bays I support is crashing when the producer is previewing PNGs from the bin, arrowing through them. The crash reported generated leads me to believe it has to do with the ProRes422 codec somehow. Here’s the important info from the crash report:

    I am running on Generation 1 Mac Pros (2 3ghz dual core xeons, with 4GB of RAM and an Nvidia 8800GT) with 10.5.8. Any ideas?

    None of those PNGs are set to CMYK are they?

    I’ve recently had a terrible issue with FCP crashing out of nowhere. Turned out I had to uninstall and delete Qmaster to get back to work. No idea why or what happened and I’m NOT SAYING you need to do that. I am saying that chasing down FCP crashes is largely a frustrating waste of time.

    Nope, they are all RGB, that’s the first thing I had the producer check in PS when I was notified of the problem.

    They are high-resolution images however. What I am thinking is happening is FCP is decompressing each PNG file and because they are large it takes a few seconds, and because he is arrowing through them so quickly, FCP decides it’s too much and just dies. Would this be a valid thought? I am going to find out where they are located on our XSAN and try it out on my test machine to see if I can reproduce the results.
