FCP Crashes with AJA Video Ouput Plug-In error
-
I am so glad I went with the “Matrox solution” on my new Nehalem 2.93.
No problems whatsoever with 10.6.2 and latest FCS apps.
G-Speed Snow leopard drivers also rock solid, even enabling FCP and PrPRo CS4 to co-exist and work in tandem!Dual 2.5 G5, IO, Kona LH, IO, Medea Raid, UL4D, NVidia 6800, 4Gig RAM

Are you using the two ethernet ports bonded together to get improved network speed?
If so, this is most likely the cause of your issues, this is a known problem with the current generation of high end Intel processors with built in ethernet control. Intel Xeon “Nehalem” processors.
Disable the bonded ethernet, run with just a single connection and see if that helps.

No entirely true, Walter.
We are using two Mac Pro systems, one is the first generation Quad core and I’m on a 2007 Octo Core setup. We se the exact same error as you.
But let me add to this….
When you use a ProRes Easy Setup and you view any other media that is not ProRes, you’ll get a screen of noise when played. When you stop playing the video, you’ll get a proper freeze frame of the video – it looks correct, but play it, you’ll just get colored noise.
This is because ProRes is setup to view in 10-bit. This is true for ALL of the ProRes settings. I may be wrong about this, but I thought that ProRes 422 was 8-bit and ProRes422 HQ was 10-bit. Is this correct?
Besides this, we have an older G5 that can play ProRes and DVCProHD without this issue and I remember I was able to do this with the 6.0 driver. After the 6.5 and 7.1 drivers came out, I was no longer able to watch DVCProHD media while having a ProRes Easy Setup.Anybody concur on this?

I too am having this very same issue on a 2007 8 core mac pro. It doesn’t limit itself to just pro res projects. It happens in AVC Intra projects, and EX1 Projects too.

Were getting it too on all Kona Macs – Quads and Octos (Blackmagics are fine)
Especially on Edit to tape – we get green flashes and Output crashes running 7 and 7.1 with the 7.1 kona drivers.

Looks like a pattern is emerging here…
Mine is much much better after a complete reinstall and cleanup but I still see it on occasions.

I’m having the same issues – periodic green flashes and also FCP7 crashing while playing back sequences. I had similar issues a few months ago and then they went away after a complete new install (Snow Leopard & FCP7). My system was running perfectly until this week when I did a software update to 10.6.2 and installed the pro app update as well. Now it’s a nightmare – crashing every 10-15 mins while in playback of a sequence. I’m working in Pro Res 23.98 – AJA Kona 3 – Promise Raid
Let me know if anyone figures out an answer – I did the usual trashing of prefs, but no help there. I don’t want to spend hours re-installing everything. I guess when your system works the last thing you should ever do is a software update… -
Sorry to hear about your problem you are facing but there is a little lesson here. Drives are cheap and easy to install. You need to clone your system drive before making ANY updates, no matter how insignificant they may seem. If a problem does arise, just boot to the clone drive and clone back to your main system drive.
On another note, I’m still using Leopard and I’m having issues with this too but not near as much as you.
My new issue is my timelines becoming fully unrendered when I start my Mac in the morning or changing projects. This has happened every single time in the past week, even after performing the usual maintaInance.

Hey guys did you ever figure anything out with this? I’m having issues with 7.5.1 drivers and unrendered Motion files in my timeline. If I scrub a bit the land on one it will crash. If I turn off the AJA output it’s fine. Did anyone ever hear back from AJA?
