Thanks Jeremy, I got it up and running. It turns out that when I recently moved offices I reversed the A and B channels going into my HDLink that I’m using to view. Sweet, but now I really wish I had an HD deck.

Right, and I’m converting the video to SDI with a HD10A.
-
Correct, I tried both FCP and AJA TV.

Ha-ha, that’s funny. At least the creators of the Peticure pet nail filing machine knew better than to name it the Petifile.
I haven’t yet contact Sony, so I’ll see if they have anything to say about it.

I ran the update and Shake still shows as 4.1.0606, so I tried to download the combo update, but it looks like they took it down. FCP ran okay with the update for a half hour, but now it’s spinning the beach ball, so I’d wait on installing the update if you haven’t yet.

Thanks for all the replies. So if I clone 1 TB at a time and rebuild the directory structures with Disk Warrior, would that essentially be the same as cloning the whole drive and erasing it?

Hmm, just re-rendering the sequences now, and I got an “out of memory” error, maybe that’s what’s causing the spinning beach ball overnight. But I’d still like to figure out why I keep loosing the links to my media when restoring projects, it happens on other projects too.

Hmm, I wonder why I’m loosing links to my media with Restore, I’ve been assuming that it’s just due to Final Cut’s poor media manager.
I’m using a Kona 3, and my media drive is an Xraid setup as RAID-50. The drives are set to never spin down, and they’re formatted as Extended (Journaled). I remember reading a long heated thread about whether to use Extended or Extended Journaled with FCP media drives, but I don’t remember what the decisive conclusion was.
This project happens to be D1, with the sequences set as Uncompressed RGB.

I uninstalled 5.1, upgraded to 6.0 and flashed firmware on Kona 3. Today I tried capturing with ProRes 525 29.97, and it wasn’t connecting to the audio 5/6 XLR. I switched to 8bit 525 29.97 and it was able to connect to the XLR channels again, then it retained the connection when going back to ProRes.

Well, just set them back to your personal preferences. The idea is to delete the .plist and FCP Pref folder so that Final Cut has to recreate them from scratch – thus fixing your problem if it’s due to corrupt preferences. That’s where FCP Rescue comes in handy; it makes it quicker to do this process, but also can save backup preferences to restore. Just make sure save your preferences to the stored backup for restore immediately after rebuilding the prefs from scratch and then individualizing your prefs, i.e. – don’t keep working in projects and then occasionally save your prefs as your restore, or you risk saving a slightly corrupted pref file as your restore point.
Make sure your FCP and QT are current. Rebuild permissions on your boot drive. Zap PRAM. Run daily/weekly/monthly maintenance tasks (download Mac Janitor for this – freeware). Make sure you have enough RAM and a fast enough media drive for your HD streams, and you could take out 3rd party RAM to see if that’s causing problems.
