Reason for a Raid or External Drive
Hello all,
Well Ive been working on a 20+ min long dvd, graphics, etc, live shots, broll all the goodies.
Im in the finishing stages, luckily I have a client that is pretty relaxed, because Ive been giving DVDs that the audio is out of sync, graphics drop out. And its on the Quicktime files and on my timeline, I thought I was in the finishing stages, was getting ready to rip another Mpeg2 and decided to take one more look and yep the audio was out of sync again. In the past sequences I have droped in have not updated either.
Im using a g5 with FCP 5, however I have 2 internal drives, and they are constantly spinning like a cd being burned when Im working.
Now Im trying to come up with a way in Laymen’s terms to explain to my producer the benefit of having a Raid or an external drive.
Em I making excuses or is this a legit fact that would avoid alot of the issues Im having.
I just seems to be one thing after another, and Ive never had a problem like this in the past doing 30 min shows once a week.
Looking for any direction or advice..
Thanks for the Rant

Specifics would help. To which of your internal drives are you capturing your media to. Doesn’t make sense that your audio goes out of sync when you burn a DVD. Is it in sync in your FCP timeline? Did you mixdown when you created you quicktime reference before encoding with compressor?
So many questions and unles you provide specifics on your hardware, FCP version and OS and all, it’s really hard to help out.

If all your media is on your second, non-system, drive, that’s okay, especially as its a SATA drive. Unless that is your drive is almost all filled up, in which case that could easily cause problems.
