…And by far the most important: 64-bit with 10-bit rendering.

Good idea. Thanks for the tip. I’ll give it a shot.

Experiencing frequent crashing like you and others with the BMD driver v5.1+/PremPro1.5 combo, I finally found a solution that absolutely prevents that pesky “…a serious error…” from occurring:
Simply open a new project and set all your preferences, but go no further. That’s right. Do not capture or import any footage. If you must capture anything, do not exceed two or three short clips. If you do succeed at capturing those clips without a crash, DO NOT attempt to place any of them on the timeline. By limiting your editing activities to staring at the PremPro interface and keeping yours off the keyboard and mouse, those silly crashes will fade from memory.

Spoke too soon. Inconsistent “sorry, serious error” crashes when placing clips on the timeline, PLUS pretty consistent crashes when I minimize PremPro. I’ve become very bored with this.
I don’t ever recall KEM or Steenbeck flat bed editing tables crashing like this.

I may be speaking too soon, but so far I have not experienced any “Sorry, a serious error has occurred…” crashes. Good work BMD! Thanks.

Aside from the sync issue, did going back to 5.0 solve the crashing problem?

Before you spend a lot of time generating your “word appears only as it is being spoken…, you might want to build it that way for a few scenes to test how it works with someone other than yourself. You might be demanding too much of the viewer using your method, especially if it’s important they follow and comprehend what’s being said.

First, I’m not qualified to correctly answer your questions. So please don’t rely on my responses as the final word. I’m not familiar with the Adaptec 2410. But before I switched to SATA from SCSI, I ran an RAID 0 array controlled by an Adaptec 2010S. That array (14 73gb cheetahs), using BMD’s disk speed utility, it never tested faster than about 100MB/sec Read and Write. Perhaps I never had it setup properly, because the array should have tested much, much faster. Adaptec could never come up with a reason why it was so slow. It was fast enough for my 10-bit uncompressed SD work, but I never tried HD with it. I never tried stripping the drives through Windows, so I have no idea what the speed would have been. With dual xeon 3gb cpus, I don’t believe system overhead whould have been an issue. It hasn’t with the RAIDCore 4852 cards setup as RAID 5. Again, I haven’t done any HD work yet, so I have no idea if my setup would handle it.
As I mentioned before, anyone doing long-form with huge libraries is rolling the dice using stripped sets/RAID 0 configurations. I’d suggest you study RAIDCore’s info carefully. Good luck.

Go back to the v5.0 driver and see what happens. I did, and no more crashes.
