[Dave] “Thanks, did you uninstall before installing 3.04?”
No, just downloaded the upgrade and ran the upgrade installer.
I notice you still have to click on the video tab to get Boris Static to load when you’re starting a new graphic.Best,

[Dave] “Red Static with 3.04 in FCP 5.02 the text will not update until you click in the sequence.”
Boris Static in 3.04 working fine here with 5.02… updates sequence on changes. If you are building a new graphic with Boris Static, don’t you have to drag it to the sequence timeline?

[tony salgado] “I can’t see why Harley even mentioned this as a solution because this does not work.”
Okay, here’s how it works…
With the SATA RAID not showing up on the desktop, but still powered on, open Disk Utility. On the left is the list of drives connected to your CPU. You know which drives are in your RAID or I would assume you should. In my case the drives are Seagate 400GB with the disk description of ST3400832AS… 8 of them. Click on the first drive of this type in the list. Now look in the bottom left hand corner of the Disk Utility window and you should see something like this:
Disk Description: ST3400832AS
Connection Bus: Serial ATA Bay
Connection Type: Internal
Connection ID: Device 0, “Channel 4”All you have to do is make note of the Channel number in the last line, continue clicking on each drive in order in the list of your RAID drives making note of each drive’s Channel number. By deduction if there is no Channel 7, that’s where your problem is. Or, if you only have 4 drives in the RAID and you’re missing Channel 2, that’s where your problem is.
I have the 8 e-SATA cables numbered at both ends corresponding to the Sonnet Tempo 8 e-SATA connectors and the 8 drives in my RAID bay. When and if you have a problem, it’s very easy to replug the connectors at both ends of the missing Channel.

[David Battistella] “Is the crow tasty there in SASK KA CHE WAN.? :)”
Actually, don’t know how they are these days… most of them have West Nile Virus so everyone’s staying clear. 😉

Not at the studio right now, but will post in the morning about tracing down the drive that hasn’t mounted through Disk Utility… I know it works because I’ve done it. If I was dreaming I’ll eat crow.

[JeremyG] “while you figure out which of the eight ports is not quite seated, and restarts, and try-agains”
First off, I have yet to see a RAID stop working due to a SATA cable coming loose. Normally, if the SATA RAID shows up on the desktop, you’re good to go.
If by chance it doesn’t show up, go into the Apple RAID disk utility and you’ll quickly see which drive is missing and therefore which cable connection is the problem (you do have your cables and ports numbered, don’t you?). There is no need for restarts or powering down, from what I understand SATA and e-SATA connections can be changed hot. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong.

Hi Jim,
Where did you get the FW 410 for CAD $300? Lowest price I can find is CAD $569.

[Wes Plate] “Always save your project file before exporting.”
Wes,
The project file was saved prior to exporting the OMF file… that’s what I can’t figure out. Even Autosave Vault project files from hours before the OMF export are showing the same holes and missing clips on that particular sequence… all other sequences are okay. There was no nesting either.

Thank you Anne,
Will be buying the upgrade then… been without FEC for 4 months… couldn’t get any answers from Media 100 on moving it over to a new G5.
