Final Cut Pro X freezes during render when computer sleeps?
So I’m experiencing something I’ve never had to deal with before. I’m running FCPX 10.0.5 on OSX 10.7.4. When I’ve left FCPX to render complicated sequences/effects everything works normally unless I leave and do not interact with the computer. My computer’s energy settings are set to put the computer to sleep in an hour when not being used. I cannot change this as my IT dept took away admin privileges and this is one of the controls I no longer have control over. When I come back to the computer FCPX is frozen and exhibits a spinning beach ball. The rest of the computer is fine, but it requires a hard reboot (sometimes twice) to get FCPX to work again. I cannot simply force quit. IF my IT dept would give me back admin privileges I could at least test my theory that the sleep setting is the issue but alas it is not so. Has anyone experienced this issue?
My last reboot seems to have fried my RAID setup as well. Lucky for me my big project was just finished and delivered.
thanks
Phil

You need to get the IT dept to turn sleep mode off.

I have had this exact problem myself Phil. First time I found anyone who had had it.

Hi Tony, My problem went away when I was finally able to turn off the sleep option my editing computer after having admin rights returned to me.
