What do you mean by broadcast safe? White level not exceeding 100, black not below zero and saturation at 100 percent?
This is the first time I hear something about FCP or Color being unable to sustain broadcast safe settings for a clip. I find your report unsubstantiated.Everest Mokaeff

I wonder when did you first notice that your QT X is unable to open .mov files? Was it a problem from the very beginning? Where is your QT7 installed? I suppose you have either incorrectly installed QT7 and have some files from ver. 7 and 10 mixed up badly, or you have QT X incorrectly installed from the very beginning. Try carefully reinstall QTX from Mac os disk. QT7 must reside in Utilities folder.

Forget about animation codec – use ProrRes as your native one everywhere if you started to work with it. Shut down all applications that you don’t need and that might run along with FCP eating up RAM from it. When face “Out of memory” pop-up save your project and reboot the system to flush RAM.
Hmm. Persistent crashing? Second suspect is your server config. Is it tcp-ip, SCSI, or optics? How many clients request same material simultaneously? If you have multiple client do you have server to administer their requests (x san)?
As you can see there are quite a few gaps you need fill in in order for me to come up with plausible explanation.
The best way is to understand what essentially changed lately and could cause negative effects on your project. Sometimes unearthing back-up project is option.
Sorry, if failed to provide good-to-go solution. -
I just finished converting H.264 1920 x 1080 23,98 FPS into ProRess 4444 by MPEG Streamclip and I used batch list. In batch list I chose ProRes 4444, it’s off-format codec which will retain the frame rate and resolution of the original footage. Leave the field with frame rate blank and it’s gonna be okey. At the end you’ll have your footage encoded into ProRes.

“Out of memory” problem has something to do with plugins that you use. This I can infer from your statement that it happens when you’re rendering. What exactly are you rendering? Unfortunately, from my personal experience I can sadly testify that there are some plugings in FCP that you can’t use in mix with others regardless of your hardware specs.
As to dropped and green frames more info is needed to make correct guess. Anyways, my first suspect in your case is pluging. -
I suppose this question should’ve been posted in different forum.
Of course, you can export material into image sequence (Tiff, png, jpg, and so on) thru File->Export->Using QuickTime conversion. I didn’t get it: You need to paint-out camera in your shot? Then export footage and apply mask in Motion, AF, or any other application for composing.
