FCP constant crashing with XDcam

[Kc Allen]

I use the XDCam 350 and the XDCam EX and I have never crashed. What are your project settings? You might think about changing your compression to either one of the ProRez codecs, or try one of the HDV codecs (smaller file size, but SLOW rendering.) On the top tool bar go to sequence, then settings, and then make the changes in there. You may also need to upgrade your RAM.

Hi Evan,
The same than KC, I’m editing native EX-1 without problems.
I can not read a Crash Log, but the last threads talks about GL, textures, etc. Its sounds to me like something related with the Video Card.
What machine are you using?
Are you using any kind of fxplugins?

I’ve tried changing the codecs several times, no help. At the moment I’m converting all 60 hours of footage to PHotojpeg with 0 compression… see if that fixes it. From what I’ve been able to gather from the crash logs, it has to do with Quicktime’s decoding/re-encoding of the XDcam footage. I’m running a quad core mac pro with 5 gigs of ram, nothing unusual… Waiting for the Blackmagic HD Extreme 2 to arrive in the mail 😉

If you need to go that way go Proress. Keep YCbCr. PhotoJPEG 100% is RGB and also makes much bigger files.

Evan,
This can be a malfunction of your System. No from FC.
I don’t know the maintenance you make to your System, but repairing permissions is not enough. Try running DiskWarrior or TechTools..
