Joseph, I have the scratch disk set to a 4TB G-Raid external drive via Firewire 800 of which 1.6TB is available. It’s the same drive I was using before without incident. Thanks.

I have been having these crashes of late and found the culprit. I discovered that a couple of sequences my co-editor was working on had some alpha transitions. Upon transferring the FCP projects to my drive, the well drops in the alpha transitions emptied. When I tried to render the project FCP repeatedly crashed. When I noticed the alpha transitions were empty I dropped in the requisite clips, alpha, etc. Thereafter, the sequences rendered without incident and I have no longer had the KGCore crashes.

Thank you! Your reply made me re-review my settings and I realize I had not set my audio to AAC. Now all is operating normally as before. Operator error…

Another question. As this video production is for a non-profit to be used specifically for web and is a buyout should I include language to include something to the effect of “permission to use any in any non-broadcast manner and acknowledges that terms are buyout” or something to that effect?

October 10, 2010 at 3:45 pm in reply to: liability insurance; additionally insured

Thanks for all the replies. Here is my general dilemma re:insurance. There is one firm here locally that specializes in entertainment insurance. Their quote for general liability plus a modest policy on equipment was astronomical for a small company such as mine. I called and emailed a variety of other insurance companies and agents who deal in commercial insurance for other quotes on general liability. To my astonishment, except for one agent every inquiry went unanswered. Other companies sent me paperwork for motion picture insurance for specific productions which was not what I wanted. When I contacted them to resend correct forms those call also went unanswered. So now I feel I am stuck with what I have.

For those of you happy with your insurance coverage are you willing to share what companies you are insured through? Thanks.

I will have to test that option. I am planning on bringing my computer to the shoot to test the key setup before shooting but I was under the impression that I could not use the SDI out of camera into the MXO2 into MacBook as a capture workflow. If that is possible that would be the best solution.

Upon re-reading my initial post I realize the last psrt of it was confusing. For the record, I am going to record HDV to videotape and import that into FCP. Would I gain anything by playing the recorded tape from my camera and capturing it via SDI as ProRes vs. importing from tape via Firewire? Either way am I just capturing the same compressed HDV signal?
