Serious Project File Corruption in FCP 5.0 and FCP 5.0.2

[Chris Tomberlin] “Plus, there are some real problems with the 10 bit codec right now. Do search in the After Effects and Blackmagic forums and you’ll see what I mean…”

What did they change… it was working fine before?

[Walter Biscardi] “I think it’s definitely some sort of a buggy still frame thing that has not been solve in FCP 5.0 and want to run some tests to see how easy / hard it is to set off this issue.”

I can confirm that this is definitely a bug. Even with Memory Cache set to 50% (1GB) I got the issue again today when I was trimming a Nest in a sequence. Got the red screen, got the “Not Found!” error followed by the “Out of Memory” Error. Quit FCP, Trashed Prefs, Reset the Memory Cache to 50%, re-opened my project and all was well.

Will test soon and see what exactly will make it trip.
