On a hunch, I opened on my Mac Pro (Leopard) the fcp6 file created on the MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard), saved it with a filename xxxLeopard.fcp, closed fcp, relaunched, and the file plays fine.

So…apparently, at least in my case, a fcp6 file created with Snow Leopard hangs up on Leopard until you save it as a separate Leopard file, close the project, and reopen it.

It doesn’t make a lot of sense, but I’m back up and running on the Mac Pro without the hangups in the timeline.

The Leopard file also plays ok on my MacBook Pro.

Strangely, however, when I open the original file that was hanging in the first place, it now plays fine on the Mac Pro. ??? I don’t have to understand it, as long as it works.

I hope this helps.

My fcp6 project on OWC Firewire 800 plays fine on my MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard.

But when I try to edit from the drive connected to my MacPro running Leopard, the playhead “hangs” at each clip on the timeline.

All settings appear to be identical, except for the operating systems.

Deadline forces me to finish project on MacBook Pro. Will continue troubleshooting when the heat is off.

I hope this provides more symptoms so we can diagnosis the problem and find a cure.
