Final Cut 6 quitting when setting a long render
I posted this earlier today, sorry for the repeat, but I am desperate.
Need help!
Hello to everyone. I have a major issue whenever I try to render my Final Cut Pro 6 timeline.
The details are as follows:
Footage was shot with HVX200 using 720p 24, mixed in timeline with HDV 1080i, mixed with standard dv. I am editing in a standard def. timeline with the following plugins. CHV, Magic Bullet look suite, Noise industries motion pack and editing pack. I don’t know if the problem is coming from the plugins or maybe a bad clip. The program is around 40 mins.
It will quit when I set renders longer then 3 mins. or so. I have replaced the ram and the aja lhe card and even tried editing on another 8 core system. I ported the internal drives over, and it still would crash. I have reinstalled the operating system (Tiger) and Final Cut. Still crashing.I can sometimes render in small segments without problems, although sometimes it will crash as well. Every time, without exception, it will crash on 15 minutes or longer renders. The system will say that Final Cut has unexpectedly quite.
I have tried opening in a new project but the same thing. I have tried sending render to another drive still the same thing.
I am out of ideas. I am a full month late on a project that will be useless in a few days if I can’t complete.Thanks in advance.

Are you just trying to render the sequence or are you exporting it as a file?
I used to have the problem you describe, but it was on fcp 5.04 when I tried rendering an sd timeline that was long. Exporting it as a file worked though.

I had this problem too. My fix was there was bad RAM. I guess you can try pulling RAM and see if that fixes it.

I am rendering a 40 min. sd program of a combination of 720p , 1080i and sd. I can’t render long renders without Final Cut quitting on me. I have replaced the ram, the AJA card. I have reinstalled Final Cut as well as the OS. I have tried all of this on an identical 8 core machine and it still quits. The only thing common is the media that I am using.

For a quick fix, can you render for a short amount, then stop the render, Save, then start the render again and work your way through the timeline?
If it’s not RAM, then maybe your media drives have an issue as it might be having trouble pulling the media off to make the render. Just a thought.

That is exactly what I have been doing, and it seems to work, don’t you think if I can render in short segments, that the media is being accessed fine, or how could it render at all? Why would the longer renders treat the media files any different? Very confusing.
Thanks,
