  • FCP HD Filling up G-Raid completely and crashing on capture

    Posted by Alex Bond on June 16, 2008 at 8:29 pm

    Help! I’m losing my rag with this!!

    I am running the first version of FCP HD on a Dual 2gb G5, capturing Analogue video through an ADVC110 Firewire unit.

    Every time I try to capture the G-Raid fills up completely and the the FCP itself crashes. The only way to fix the machine is to reboot it and delete the massive Scratch Cache created on the external drive.

    I have tried:

    correct easy setup
    limiting the total time of captured clips
    limiting the total size of captured clips

    Can anyone help?? Thanks in advance

    If you haven’t fix this, you should try to uncheck the media limits size and time.
    What’s happening is that FCP is sending over a bunch of 2.9gig files to make sure the HD has the room. It’s a goof. Ran into it a lot with FCP 4.

    Trash prefs
    restart
    trash bad files on HD
    run Disk Utility and repair disk (just to make sure that you haven’t corrupted the TOC)
    restart FCP – uncheck size limit.

    Good Luck,
