FCP 7.01 Instability
WOW!!!
It looks like FCP 7.01 is very unstable…. I’ve had multiple crashes while rendering and exporting. This is a real pain….
Yes… I know the rules… I have already done everything known to man to fix this BUT it still happens.

Stable here. Working 720p / 60 ProRes on my system. 1080i / 29.97 ProRes on a 2nd system. ProRes SD on the third system. 720p / 60 ProRes on the fourth system.
I’ve had exactly two crashes since we updated.

Mine have been occurring with multiple layers of Motion files on top of ProRes422 1080i60 video. Its a commercial for a big client. Outputting it has been somewhat of a nightmare. My only option is to completely forego the Share function and do a standard Quicktime output then compress for web in Compressor.

Ah, might have something to do with Motion files then. I never bring Motion files into the FCP timeline unless I render out the movies first. I’ve never found bringing Motion files directly into FCP to render to particularly stable.
And I don’t use the SHARE function at all.

[walter biscardi] “I’ve never found bringing Motion files directly into FCP to render to particularly stable.
“I’m coming to this conclusion, too… But there are times when you need to reframe something or maybe add some effect to make that graphic pop.
Rendering out of Motion can create lots of files that you constantly replace. Anyways… This was a selling point of Apple’s a few years ago that made Motion so attractive. Marketing gimmick, I guess.

Well, its OK when you send to Compressor for one-off client DVDs. But if your timeline has lots of graphics, you’ll spend lots of time re-rendering in Compressor. This is another feature that almost works.

The Share function needs to be taken out of the Suite or fixed. It doesn’t work for me either. Compressor is more reliable by one hundred fold.

Wayne by any chance are these fcp project files from a previous
version of fcp that have been saved and updated to run in 7.01?reason I ask is I had some motion file weirdness completely
fixed when I made a new sequence and copied the sequence content
to the new one then saved then trashed the old one.though I am still working with 6.x
i dunno…something to try.
