Thanks for your responses! Yes, what I’m really looking for is if anyone has been to this conference and what they thought of it. I’m trying to convince my boss to send me to this conference and I need some references, comments, reviews… anything! But I’m having a real hard time finding any reviews.

Thank you for your help. I got a link to uninstall the driver and reinstalled the AJA driver with the CD. Everything’s working again!

[Crys]

Thank you! Uninstalling and reinstalling the driver solved the problem!!

I’m sorry to sound stupid, but I’m pretty new to Macs…

Could you tell me how to uninstall the AJA driver?

I wanted to make sure before I messed up anything else.

Thank you!

P.S. No, I do not have any other firewire devices connected. So I will try to uninstall and reinstall.

I’ve encountered another problem…

I followed the instructions and deleted all QT files and download QT 7.01. When I try to install 7.01, Quicktime will not let me install on the Macintosh HD. It says that “the disk is dimmed because it does not contain an appropriate version of QuickTime”

Did I do something wrong?

Thanks again for your help!

Yes, I always try to search the forum before posting a question, but I guess I did not do a very good job with the searching this time…

I’m pretty sure I have done those instructions to upgrade to QT7. I was told to upgrade before to fix some other problem; not the current problem I am having now.

If I go back to QT6, it may fix this problem I have now, but my other problem that I had before (wish I could remember what it was!!) will probably come back. Is it best to upgrade to FCP 5?

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I found the latest saved file, so I did not have to re-edit the entire thing!

I tried moving the timeline to the other monitor, but still the same problem.

The drives have plenty of space left. All drives have more than 20% space left.

I checked the drop-down box and it was already set to “Fit to Window”.

Waveforms are not showing in timeline.

I double-checked to make sure the sequence setting is the same as media setting and they are both the same.

BUT still the SAME problem. I get the beach ball and it will NOT play the timeline.

I guess the only solution I have is to export the timeline into one single QT file and try to edit from that. Hopefully that will work. Unless anyone else has other suggestions?

Thanks for all your help.

Yes, I use 2 monitors. The Graphics/Display Card used is the ATI Radeon 9600 XT.
What do you mean by “moving” your timeline? Where exactly do you move it to?

Thank you.

[Crys]

No, the media is not on firewire drives. They’re on a 500GB Medea drive. I do not think the hard drive is too slow to keep up with the media. As I mentioned before, the sequence played perfectly fine before without any skipping nor sticking. That is why I am so confused as to why there is such a problem with this sequence now.

I have mixed down the audio and deleted unneeded files, but that did not help.

And yes, everything is rendered in the sequence.

Any other suggestions?

Thank you again for your help.
