It didn’t seem to fail on any particular item, but then it runs them by so quickly I can’t read them. The last couple of times, though, it has asked me to register FCP and crashed after I said ‘later’. I’ve had this software for so long, I figured there is some glitch that keeps asking me to register (it has my daughters name in the registration tool box, too, how strange!).
Anyway, I went looking for the software registration booklet and could not find it. I wish I had tried to trash recent renders! of course, it started failing when I was a doing a number of complex motion effects, so that was probably it. However, I was so frustrated and, quite frankly, freaked out at having to delay an edit session and lose all my work that I just bit the bullet and upgraded to FCP Studio 2.
Its installing now. Hopefully this will fix things.
Thanks for the info, though. If I still have problems, I’ll have to start tossing renders. This is an eighty minute graphics and psd project with extensive renders so that would be a huge drag.
