RT Extreme
I keep getting the RT Extreme message when playing back certain parts of my sequence. I have rendered the entire piece and the problem area as well. I have turned off unlimited RT to safe RT but had no change in performance. The sequence still stopped and when I turned off the the notification the sequence still failed to play through. I have closed other sequences and have done everything the warning has advised me to do, except for lowering the compression data rate and increasing my disk speed. I don’t know how to do that so if somebody has an idea that would be great. Is there a way to run my sequence with out dropped frames? Where did they come from?
I am running Final Cut 6 on a MacPro Quad Core, 2.93 Ghz processor speed, 8 gigs of memory if anyone can help me out I would be very thankful and if you come to Spokane the first one is on me.

Since I’m thirsty and you guys have good beer I’ll field this one in a hurry…
You did not mention your media drive setup… What do you have? Is one one of those drives getting full to the point at which you have less than 10 to 20% free space?

I have a proavio 6 terabyte external drive. It is far from full and when I ran a speed test all of the drives came back at about 355 MB/S.

“Well, that certainly rules that out. Problem is, it makes the diagnosis more difficult. You’re gonna really make me work for that beer, aren’t ya?
The other issues we now need to think about are (in no particular order):
1) permissions issue (fix permissions using Apple Disk Utility)
2) optimization issue (run Disk Warrior on all drives).
3) preference issue (trash prefs)
4) a bad plugin (did you install anything new lately)
5) issue with BM or Kona drivers (if you have either, an uninstall and reinstall sometimes cures a multitude of sins).Those five cure most issues…

“Are your scratch drive preferences pointing to that drive or your boot drive? If the latter, quit FCP and trash the Final Cut Pro Prof Cache file located in the Final Cut Pro user folder.
