  • FCP Crash on Long Render/Can’t Output to Tape

    Posted by Rockalonious on August 28, 2007 at 4:29 am

    My project file size is about 350MB and is layered heavily with Sapphire effects (primarily lighting effects). If I attempt to render the entire 30 minute sequence, FCP crashes about 1.5 hrs into the render. Is this a RAM issue? I have a 3GHz Dual Core with 8GB of RAM. I wasted an entire day rendering small sections at a time. Once the sequence was fully rendered, I couldn’t output to tape without dropping frames. I don’t have this issue with any of my other projects. Any thoghts?

    I doubt it’s RAM, but once you have it rendered, export it as a self contained movie to consolidate all the snippet renders, then send that movie to tape…
