I am using SoftRaid too on my Firewire Raid drives. So, that could be part of the problem.

What makes it confusing is FCP will run with 5GB RAM, but when you do certain things, like a big render or export (I was exporting a 30 minute show using Export self-contained) for testing, it would crash. Otherwise, editing worked and appeared normal. Again, when I pulled the extra RAM out, I could do the long exports perfectly with no crashes at all.
Zak above states he’s running 5GB RAM on his Pro 3.0 machine. Zak can you confirm you can do a long export like mentioned about OK?

I’m getting the 2GB+ crashes with NO cards installed.

OK,
You guys had me worried. So, today I fired up FCP (FCP5.1.2 QT7.1.3, NO PCI Cards loaded, 5 GB RAM and Firewire drives) Well, it crashes when doing long exports and renders. (I tested for renders and exports because a year ago, I had a crashing issue on my old G5 DP2.7 and it was due to a single, bad ram chip. So, that’s the first place I looked) I then pulled the RAM back to 1GB and it renders and exports perfectly – no isses at all.So, it’s not a PCI card issue as stated above. It’s a Mac Pro issue. Any ideas what’s up????

Trevor,
There is no ‘preset’ so to speak for this conversion as you’d want to set the levels differently for each shot. But, you should be able use the FCP color correcter to fix your problem and make it look OK.
Just apply a Color corrector, adjust it, click and copy the Color correcter in the filters section of that clip and paste it into either seperate clips on the timeline or all the bad clips in their bins. That way, any time you preview a clip before editing, it will have the CC already applied.
Why the heck did you do this to yourself!!! (OK, I had to say it)

Am I correct, you can only run 2GB of RAM on the Intel Pro? Why is that? I bought 4GB for mine, haven’t run it yet with FCP, but the RAM shows up in the Sys Info.

I spoke with Sonnet yesterday and they are planning to post a Beta driver for their E4P SATA PCI Express card up by the end of the week. That’s been hold me up too. No Raid.

I did check, but the 4 port version is not compatible with the new Apple Pro yet.

That looks like a winner. I’ve got an question… how do hook up more than two drives? I’ve got 2 (2bay) enclosures that have 4 cables.

Does anybody know of a PCIExpress 3GB SATA card for the Mac Pro? Sonnet’s card isn’t compatible yet.
