By the way, any suggestions on timeline settings, or does that not matter. Doesn’t seem to but thought I’d ask. I’m coming from FCP where that really mattered.

Thanks, Andrew. The note about the cache was useful. They were on my boot disk so I switched them to the G-raid with eSata connection. Hoping that helps.

Thanks, Warren. Unfortunately on this project there’s too much footage and not enough time.

A very belated thank you to you both. Talked to the producer at the site (at the time) and turns out she didn’t see any problem with the footage. Apparently the editor on site was just trying to make my life difficult.

Michiel,
I’m sorry you’re having to go through all of this. I would try calling tech support for the card and see if they can help.
You can always run a few utilities (can’t hurt) like ‘disk utility (in applications > utilities folder) but that always just feels like grasping at straws.
What is the computer you’re working on? On a few occasions, my firewire port has just stopped working and the only fix for that is unplugging everything and then unplugging the power from the wall and waiting five minutes for it to reset – which it does. Just random ideas but I think calling or contacting tech support is your best bet.
Good luck.

Thank you, Gary. I see it’s a real catch 22. I just bought an eSATA card for that slot so that the drives will run much faster than firewire. Can’t obviously do both.
I guess plan B is to just to use the client’s flat screen as my second monitor (mini display port to HDMI TV connection).

Since you are new to Mac, after you downloaded the driver, did you double-click on it and install it (you’ll see the screen where MAC OS asks for your password, etc…)? And then I would reboot and I would assume that would be it. What card are you using? I just purchased one from Sonnet and had the same issue until I loaded the driver.
Good luck!

Did your eSATA card come with any drivers that maybe you didn’t install?

Thank you, Gary.
Just purchased the Sonnet Sata Pro Expresscard/34P for MacBookPro, so I think I should be good now.
Looking forward to leaving firewire 800 behind.
