Must Refresh A/V Devices every time?!
Hi all!
Okay… I finally upgraded to FCP 6.0.2 (with my video playback set to Digital Cinema Desktop Preview – Full Screen) and I’ve noticed that anytime I leave Final Cut for another app (let’s say “Command+tab” to check my email), when I return to FCP, I have to Refresh A/V devices (although Digital Cinema Desktop Preview is still checked).
Have I missed something? With Studio 1, I could hop back and forth to my hearts content and never have to refresh… when I installed Studio 2, did I neglect to check (or uncheck) some preference?
Certainly this isn’t a major problem… just a minor annoyance, but thanks in advance for pointing out what I’m sure should be obvious to this caffeine-lacking brain!

Please post system details and also report to apple. This sounds like a RAM issue to me or also could be something to do with the GFX card.

System details:
G5: Dual 2.7 GHz PowerPC
2.5 GB DDR SDRAM
GFX: ATI Radeon 9650
Mac OS 10.4.11I’ll report to Apple as well (although admittedly I assumed “operator error”).
Thanks David!

Sue,
I have the same system with 6.5RAM. I use a KONA 2 card so I never use digital cinema desktop but I do drive 2 23 inch monitors with that GFX card.
Should be no problem. What size monitors are you trying to drive.
Open disk utility and run a repair permisions on the drive as well.
Run FCP rescue or FCP attic and trash your prefs as well.
