P2 Import Crashing FCP5
Hi,
I’m in the beginning of a shoot using both P2-4GB cards and 16GB cards. In the field I’m dumping the cards to a Firewire 800 external drive linked to my MacBook Pro.
Now, I’m trying to import the files from the Firewire 800 drive in my studio into my Final Cut 5.0.4 system. But, after importing part of the file (just one cut), it completely locks up and crashes my computer. I have to do a hard start just to regain control. Is this a problem with this version FCP, with the Mac, the cards or what?
I have four more days of shooting and am seriously considering renting camera with real tape going through it.
Please help with your suggestions quickly.
Thanks,
David -

I don’t believe that version of FCP will do what you want. You need to upgrade to at least 5.1.2. We use a very similar workflow (just 16GB cards) to what you describe and it works perfectly with 5.1.2.
