  • Playback Freezes w/ Beach Ball

    Posted by Brandon Katcher on April 5, 2010 at 9:54 pm

    I have a Mac Pro 2.26 Xeon 8-Core With Final Cut 7.0.2. I have been editing some HDV footage for 4 hours this morning with no problems. Suddenly, I try playing back my footage and get the beach ball. I have to force quit. Since, I have tried restarting, trashing preferences, fixing permissions, checking the disk, nothing works. Even trying to playback the slug that Final Cut starts with brings the beach ball. Scrubbing works fine, it just happens when I try playback. Also, Quicktime on the same files works fine.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you for any help,
    Brandon Katcher
