I’d think the 7200 RPM or 5400 RPM drives work OK. I’ve used one with sucess. Probably drains the battery big time though if you’re thinking in those terms. I’d be buying one that’s not self powered, they are a lot less per gig too.

To make the match frame button work as you’d like, select all autoselect lights to be turned off (little guys to the right of the locks in the timeline window) except the one on the layer you want to match frame… or make the LOWEST light lit be the track you want to match frame.

I’d think it’s time to have the machine looked at by a Sony authorized repair facility…

Don’t think this is a software problem… more likely hardware… and the big suspect would be RAM chips – to check them, run with only a pair at a time, and see if the behavior shows up when a certain pair is installed i.e. narrow down the possibly bad chips that way… You don’t have any virus checking software installed? If so turn off any checking of files that may be going on in the background… or uninstall it all together. Turn off any limiting of file size that may be on too in the scratch disk settings.

Why not just import the tiff into Photoshop, then import that saved and tweaked file into FCP and edit with it? FCP needs stills like that in RGB Mode too BTW… CMYK will drive things nuts.

Might try a PNG format for the file, or a tiff…? Do run software update to get the latest software if you haven’t already too…

Only way to speed up renders is a faster CPU. It’s a CPU intensive task, RAM really doesn’t come into play as much at all.
