IO HD with ProRes 422 HQ crashes FCP 6

[Jeremy Garchow]

What drive are you using that does 200kbits per second?

[Dave Martin]

I have three Hitachi Deskstars Striped Raid 0 internal on a MacPro. I’m pretty sure I get 200 kbits per second…

You mean more like 200 MegaBytes per second. Plenty to do ProRes or HQ

So explain exactly what happens and what format, OS, QT, AJA drivers, version of everything you have ever owned, or more importantly what versions you are currently running.

Well, the encode goes fine for ProRes 422 HQ out of After Effects and it plays well in Quicktime…but as soon as I drop it in a ProRes 422 HQ Timeline in FCP V 6.0 I get the spinning beachball.

I have the IO HD firmare 1.1 and Control Panel V 5.0 as well as Quicktime 7.3.1.

I thought about updating FCP but others have said it breaks more than it fixes…

Any ideas?

Thanks…

FCP v6.0.2 is most stable version of FCP6 there is, in my experience anyway. Don’t know if that’s your issue though. I’d start there. Also, there’s an update to AE CS3 to 8.0.2.

What resolution are you working in?

Hi Jeremy

I guess I’ll try the update (I’ll clone first)

I’m working in 3500 x 1080 in AE and then stretching down to 1920 x 1080i for FCP

Thanks…

The IoHD does not support video files larger than 1920 pixels wide at this time.

down convert in AE first.

I am running a macbook pro,7200rpm hd,4gig ram,fcp6,aja iohd,sata raid and have tried 800firewire graid.I get a kernal panic when I drop clip onto the timrline.It works fine for capturing.But when I do a time remap or play clip on a timeline” CRASH”.A proApp Tec from Apple told me the system was not tested with an external raid!How do you test an edit system without an external drive?and OK the system.
thanks, dave Z.

an Apple store tech will not know anything about an IoHD so do not waste your time- if it is not sold in the store they will not know what it is or how to trouble shoot.

Since you did not tell us which OS and software versions start there,
did you update the Driver and THe IoHD

Have you called Aja’s Tech support?
