FCPX Crashed today

[Michael Hancock]

Not bad at all! My FCPX crashed 4 times yesterday (quit straight to the desktop). Thankfully I didn’t lose any work either, which is great. Every NLE needs to figure out how Apple does their instant saving and implement it.

Are you running FCPX with external video I/O (Blackmagic or AJA)? All of my crashed seem related to my Blackmagic box.

No, just HDMI out occasionally

Yes, please! Projects should have transaction journals like filesystems do.

I’d say 95% of the time crashes are related to external hardware. I can personally attest to AJA T-Tap and BMD Ultrastudio Express being the problem for years.

BUT I think it’s Apples problem. BOTH work flawlessly in other apps.

I also occasionally get what I call “benign crashes” that APPEAR to be related to font handling.

My own fault, surely. I have scads of fonts that I’ve collected for various projects over the years and hardly ever go back and purge the old stuff – so it wouldn’t surprise me a bit if triggering some that old code resulted in OS dead ends.

Oh well.

I tend to forget that FCPX can crash these days. I used to have occasional problems with iZotope audio plugins in FCPX a year or two ago; but that went away a long time ago.

Same with Compressor, Photoshop, After Effects, and Cinema 4D.

Good times.

I had three crashes working on a new project in a new library yesterday. Mixed variety of content, mostly pictures and internet video. Didn’t lose anything but it was the first crash I have had in some time.

Did you optimise the “Internet Video”?

I get lots of crashes. Seems related to Motion Title Templates and plug-ins. I wish they’d make those more crash proof.
