Media 100 freeze in timeline

[John]

sounds to me like your data i.e. your ext drive is corrupted or faulty
i guess do the old tricks
– trash your prefs on the media 100 mac folder
– check your drive plugs and leads
– check that nobody has loaded a strange version of quicktime or another video app on the system

then check back here

Hi,

This sounds like a problem that I encounter on one of my client’s V7.5 systems (which thankfully doesn’t seem to happen in the versions under OSX)

If the advice in the response above doesn’t work, it may be that your actual project/bins/timeline have corrupted. It is noticable by certain clips crashing the system when played back in the timeline, edit window, or edited. The video freezes, then the green screen of death follows. No way out except via a full shutdown/restart.

Try creating a fresh project, with bins etc and then open up the offending timeline within it. Select all and then copy/paste to the new timeline. Shut the original down and never touch it again! The same can be done with bins.

This isn’t a cure-all, but it has got me out of hole when the same has happened to me.

Hope this helps

i have tried all of the suggestions, but still the same problems. It is not specific to any particular clip, or bin which is making it hard to track down. It seems to happen mostly when performing functions such as trimming clips/black frames, advancing back and forth through the timeline, anything that is forcing the computer to think quickly I guess. I have checked memory allocation and there is more than enough to run the program.

really stumped… HELP !!!

Try running the m100 test on the board. You might also try to re-install m100.
