Maybe, I have to master off one more episode and then I’ll have all of those clear and we can go ahead, throw the 4GB RAM back in and see if that fixes it.
I’m curious because two weeks ago that issue was “escalated” in the Apple Pro Care division. I guess they were able to replicate it on their machines.
Did we just jump from 7.4.1 to 7.4.5? What happened to 2, 3 and 4?

Same thing that happened to FCP 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4…

I think I missed a chapter here. Did you determine that it was a RAM issue? I have a pair of 4GB modules in the new 8-core, and we’re experiencing some oddities during renders…

What issues are you guys having in what programs rendering? I have the previous generation 8-Core 3.0 GHz Mac Pro with 16GB of Ram and so far I’ve been trouble free… Well of course I just cursed myself, didn’t I?

First, we’ve discovered that the previous 8-cores and the new 8-cores are totally different machines. Primatte has now confirmed that their new version 4 keyer will not run on the new 8-cores. It crashes immediately. Works fine on the old 8-cores.
On long renders (28 min.) FCP quits. If you do a third at a time no problem. I believe Walter (and others) are having a different issue, actual problems with the video image when it’s rendered.

This is a 2008 8-core MacPro, running 10.5.2 and using FCP 6.0.2. We have the new plug-in mgr and EFI firmware installed. At this point, we’re trying anything… hell I may even try QT 7.4.5, we’re that desperate…

Apple never confirmed anything but here’s what I know, and this is also all in my Blog.
Mac Pro Quad 3.0. PowerMac Quad 2.5. Each with 4.0 GB RAM.
When rendering in Final Cut Pro, especially full 26 minute episodes for TV, our graphics would not fully render. Dissolves would sometimes show up with graphics right in the middle of them from somewhere else on the timeline. All kinds of weird stuff, samples in my Blog.
Remove 2GB RAM from the Mac Pro Quad. 3.0, render issues go away. Apple Pro Care pointed to AppleCare, AppleCare pointed to Apple Pro Care to fix the problem. But Apple Pro Care told me that the render issue had been “escalated” two weeks ago.
Issue was consistent when I moved from Tiger to Leopard two weeks ago. That is, the render issue is still there even in Leopard.
My theory was that the issue was related to RAM Cache and Final Cut Pro. Something was not clearing out correctly so we were getting partial renders, renders with images from elsewhere in the timeline, etc…
Now I have NOT installed QT 7.4.5 yet so I don’t know if that fixed it. I’ll install it sometime next week after we get our current two masters out and re-install the 4GB RAM.

Hot damn that is annoying.

Fortunately I have not seen this. By any chance is any of the rendering taking place in the GPU of the graphics card? If so have you looked into swapping that out?
