Insufficient hard drive space
(Some similar issues to Kevin’s post below)
After numerous capture problems due to what I believe were speed issues with my LaCie Porsche drive and Canon XL2 for playback, I switched to a LaCie d2 drive and initially had similar freezing every 20-30 seconds of capture, until it finally “cleared up” for unknown reasons, and I was able to successfully capture several minutes of video without intermittent freezing.
However, upon trying to render a very SMALL amount of effects in a very SHORT timeline, I received the “insufficient space” warning related to the d2 drive, and FCE would not render.
I opened other older projects and tried to render them, with the same result.
I copied about 80gb of files and projects to another hard drive, then attempted to render again, with the same error message. This, despite my d2 drive showing 90gb free.
I then used Disk Utility to write zeros over all free space on the d2, followed by the same result – refusal to render due to lack of space.
Finally, I noticed that, in addition to the successfully captured files, there were literally HUNDREDS of reference files with similar file names – tagged with “av” and sequential numbering – also in my capture scratch folder. None of those reference files would open individually. I deleted all of them, thinking this would free the still-occupied space, but found that FCE, upon re-opening the project, detected the missing reference files and immediately launched an automated search for them. Of course, they were trashed, so they were not found, but the timeline eventually did open and I was STILL unable to render because of insufficient disk space.
