No. Never Solved! Still have the same problem on FCP, however, switched to Premiere

True! Already contacted them and you are correct…Twixtor does not have a 12 core in stock.

I understand your logic, however, what you are suggesting implicates there is something wrong with the media or transcoding, however, the same prores HQ media works flawlessly with the 2006 and 2009 MAC PROS i the office after thorough testing with the same hard drive, cards, plugins, etc. retranscoding, etc. Perhaps prores HQ does not work with this machine…This would be ridiculous.

Thanks for the input but 2 things don’t sit quite right: 1) a 2006 MAC PRO is handling same project perfectly. 2) THis is a 12 core machine…it is SUPPOSED to handle HQ or 4444 or whatever you throw at it. I think 10.6.6 got me in the mess I was in 10.6.4 is working well so far. I’m going to knock on wood.

These are all the same plugins used on the other MAC PROS (2006 and 2009). Everything was tested the SAME on the other computers…plugins, media, projects, SAS card, HDElement, everything. Flawless on the other machines.

I have received 2 12 CORE MAC PROS from apple — same issues with 3 DIFFERENT PRORES PROJECTS. It has to be a conflict in the OS. Without plugins: video in viewer window looks like a rave. With plugins, FCP crashes more than 20x a day.

The customer support from the 3rd party plugins has been great from Twixtor and Magic Bullet, however everyone is scratching their heads on this– Apple Level 2 support, FCP support.

UPDATE:
I have completed a third clean install and taken out 2 dimms of memory (I read somewhere that 6 dimms of 2gb each are actually faster than filling all 8. I also kept 10.6.4 and only installed the 7.0.3 update. I also installed Magic Bullet 4.2.1, Twixtor, Noise industries and the DFX plugins. We will see how this test goes…

I did that and reinstalled…unfortunately, the 15 minute project that is due very soon has twixtor all over it. Any reasons/conflicts for the crash on this new computer? Does twixtor not like the 12 core?

Thanks!

Thanks…yes, I swapped out with a 4870 Radeon…same thing. I also swapped the Mac Pro out with a different one….fixed the _unknown user permissions. Right now, I am in 32 bit — confirmed. Serious testing today. The TWIXTOR plugin is what is causing most of the crashing now.

Excellent. Installed a preference pane, however, it didn’t seem to work. So, I went ahead and typed the following command line in the terminal

sudo systemsetup -setkernelbootarchitecture i386

It is 32 bit ready.

THANKS!
I will do some testing and see how it goes!
