FCP Crashes with Blackmagic clips on MacPro
I just upgraded to MacPro and FCP is not working with the Blackmagic 8-bit clips that I normally use. When I press spacebar or try to scrub a timeline with a Blackmagic clip in it my machine completely locks up and must be powered down and restarted. I was getting a kernel panic message screen. I reinstalled everything (including OSX), now I don’t even get the screen of death, it just freezes. The interesting thing is that once I reboot the offending clip plays fine everytime.
Quad 3G MacPro, 4G RAM, OSX 10.4.8, FCP 5.1.2, Adobe AfterEffects 7.0.1, BLackmagic Decklink Extreme slot4, ATI RadeonX1900 slot1.

Check the PCI slot. Needs to be #4 or top and make sure the Mac doesn’t go to sleep. Check the power save options and put sleep on never. The verdict is still out on 5.8 also. I went back to 5.72 and it’s more stable.
