Does the footage play smoothly when you load it into the Viewer window? Also, what are your system specs? RAM?

Preferences have been trashed, caches emptied. This is an ongoing thing that hasn’t been solved by the normal FCP problem solving approaches.
I suspect this is to do with the way this facility has their SAN set up, and how FCP relates to that. There are other quirky issues here, and these issues seem to be shared on all the systems.By the way, I just cyber-stalked you. I’m a Boston-> LA transplant too 🙂

8GB should theoretically be enough to work with ProRes, right?
One other detail…. XSAN.
The big question I’m trying to find an answer for is not why this is happening in the first place, but what the relationship is to Compressor (AKA why does opening and closing Compressor resolve this?)

I’m trying to get in there for a test. The backup plan is to burn a blu-ray (or even lay off an HDCAM tape) and call it a day. I was trying to go tapeless, but it doesn’t seem like that’ll work in this case.

Thank you, Rafael.
I checked out your website and am very interested in what you’re doing. I recently visited that part of the world and fell in love with it. -
This just in…. the Mac Mini has a drive speed of 5400. I’m screwed right?

Thanks, Michael.
Do you think the H264 transcoded from ProRes HQ will look acceptable on a screen in a theater with 45 seats?Best,

Thank you, Andy.
The movie was shot on a RED camera, and has been transcoded via RedRocket to the Prores (HQ) codec. When you say ProRes is an FCP codec only, do you mean that FCP must be installed on the system? Or is it possible to just bring along the AppleProResCodec.component and drop that into the Mac Mini Library/Quicktime folder?
I suppose I could bake a ProRes HQ file, and then bake an H264 as a backup, in case the HQ doesn’t play nicely.
Much appreciated.

Thanks, Tom. I’ll feed this back to the source.

I have this same problem for audio only clips in the viewer. It seems that FCP will show me the marker overlay in the viewer only if there is picture, but not for an aiff file (which is really unhelpful when you’re trying to mark up some ADR). Can anyone confirm or deny my suspicion?
Thanks!
