FCPX 10.3.3 released

[Jeremy Garchow] “Pr crashes way more often. Pr crashed so hard the other day, it freaked out my SAN and kicked everyone off. Ended up being all good, but it was a tense 5 minutes while everything rebooted.”

Obviously you’re really there and I’m just hypothesizing, but it seems more intuitive to me that the SAN freaking out could cause the Premiere crash than the other way around. I wonder if the high number of issues you’ve had with Premiere may be related somehow to your storage?

Of course, this doesn’t excuse Pr’s crashiness; I’m just wondering if there’s something unique or quirky about your setup that Pr is not handling well, and if there’s something you could do to address it.

It would be more intuitive for me too.

My computer froze when using Pr, completely froze with no warning. Everyone else got kicked off the SAN. This only happens if there’s something wrong with the SAN (obvious when the SAN master isn’t working as that computer is unresponsive) or there’s a major read/write event that the SAN doesn’t like and it kicks everyone off to protect the data. I could manually connect everyone back on. Instead I just restarted the entire system. Whatever happened l, it was the first of its kind and hasn’t happened since. Sure, this could have been coincidence, but my machine using Pr seemed to have caused it. I wouldn’t even know how to begin to track it down as for now, it was an isolated case. Pr has been a struggle with this project. It’s almost over. Pr has also frozen my laptop connected to local storage.

Pr crashes on a SAN, Pr crashes on local storage, on both laptop and desktop in multiple locations. While storage is easy to suspect, it doesn’t seem to be the common culprit as the storage changes, and the software I’m using remains constant.

When you store local, are you still hooked up to the switch? Basically, I’m blaming Media Browser. It’s always looking at-
and for a network. That’s my hypothesis, free internet advice, as it were.

[Richard Herd] “When you store local, are you still hooked up to the switch? “

Rarely. Local is usually away from the SAN.

It’s funny you mention Media Browser, my Favorite locations are never stored. How do you know it’s looking for a network?

[David Mathis] “Something like this?”

XML is one way to do it.

Poste Haste is another.

I use final cut library manager which has a template function.

[David Mathis]

Thanks. Going to give it a look.

I may have found it:

Then you might simply try assigning roles BEFORE you add the clips to the timeline or even upon import? That’s kinda the whole point. ????

I don’t have much need for that. Plus, you always end up missing some in the end anyway when you try to do that. And throw multiple people working on a project into the mix and it’s just not going to happen.

I use roles mostly to assist in the final audio mix and then to output discreet mix masters. It takes very little time to sort out in the timeline prior to that process.

Are you on Mac or PC? If you are on a Mac is Premiere the only thing running? People have reported Premiere on it’s own works fine but once Safari and other programs are open Premiere gets glitchy. Is that OS X’s fault or Premiere’s fault? Could it be a combination of both? If you are on Windows I would wonder if it is MS’s fault or Premiere’s fault. Keep in mind no OS is perfect and no software program is perfect.
