Pro Apps Crash Too Often

[Oliver Peters]

[Brett Sherman] “I plan on upgrading the QNAP firmware to see where that gets me. Then hopefully this fall, the next Mac OS. I’m on Sierra hoping to skip High Sierra.”

I’ll let you know if I find out anything at NAB. We are all on the latest OS version. I haven’t done the current QNAP firmware update yet, because I’m holding off until Bob Z and I are both back in town, in case things crash and burn ☺

That’s interesting. For the past few years roughly every 2 weeks I bring in about 1TB of footage (20+ hours of mixed format 4k) that I edit into a multicam clip and trim down to a 10-hour timeline, multiple layers of color corrections applied to all of the clips (frequently with color masks), several hundred edits in the timeline, multiple audio channels, and I haven’t had any problems on a late 2013 iMac and iMac Pro, using either the native files or proxy media. Sure, FCP X will crash on occasion (not even every project), but when I relaunch everything is fine. I’m sorry to hear you haven’t been having a positive experience with it.
