Missing render files – is it fixed in FCP 6.0.2 ?

[Walter Biscardi]

On our G5 Quad machine, our editor is still getting this with 6.0.2.

I have never seen this happen on our Mac Pro Quad 3.0.

Other than the computer itself, the two systems are identical so it really makes no sense.

Really Walter? That sucks.

I have a MacPro and the problem seems to have disappeared with 6.0.2.

My systems seemed to have been corrected with this issue. One is a Mac Pro and the other an older G5.

Now, this annoying snapping feature is killing me.

I read this thread earlier in the day but didn’t really have a comment on it.

Just a minute ago I had render files disappear right before my very eyes.

Had just finished rendering out the timeline of a short segment (about 2 minutes long). No render lines left in the timeline anywhere. Saved the project. Then, looking at the timeline, I decided to put a 1 second black slug at the beginning and end as the final delivery will be as a Quicktime file.

So, I set the slug in the viewer and changed the length to 1 second. Went to the beginning of the timeline and did an insert of the slug on a different video track. No problems so far. Looking at the beginning of the segment, I realized I needed to fade up the first clip. I put a 15 frame cross dissolve at the head of the clip and instantaneously at three other points in the timeline (nowhere near this particular clip) a red render bar appeared over the footage that had been rendered out just minutes before.

These clips had no association whatsoever with the clip that I had just put the cross dissolve on. No commonalities at all.

So, to answer the question, yes there are still missing render files in 6.0.2. I’m operating a G5 with 3GB of RAM, 10.4.11 and Quicktime 7.3.

6.0.2 has fixed nothing.

My MacPro quad system still drops render files whenever it feels like it. Last week it took me 24 hours to re-render a 95 minute show. Yesterday it dropped the renders for the first act, right before my eyes, when I updated a Motion graphic.

I’m also now experiencing FCP unexpectedly quitting without even the ” report to Apple” window. I setup a render, walk out of the room and come back to see my desktop.

[Wayne Carey] “Have you trashed your prefs and reset your permissions?”

Yes, regularly.

I’ve rebuilt my system from the ground up twice, with Tiger, since july. The only thing I haven’t tried is installing the latest Kona 3 drivers. I’m afraid that 6.0.2 may not like it and spit out all my renders and I don’t have time to re-render.
