I have a Mac tower Quad-Core Intel Xeon with a CUDA card and have the same issues. I have turned off CUDA and used the default graphics driver and still get that same problem.
The only thing that seemed to help slightly is to render audio when rendering picture, but that does not take care of the problem. It also happens when I am scrubbing video in the timeline.
I think it is a CC2014 issue since I have been reading a lot about this.John Knapich

What about backing up the database? I assume that has all the project info for all of the projects in the db.

Well, thanks for all the valuable info you have passed on in the past.
I for one will be interested in where you end up in the Premiere vs Avid debate. As a former Avid editor I will lean that way, but will certainly give Premiere a good look. As with any software or pro platform, will also need to consider the supporting plug ins, software (color correction) etc.

I find that files approaching 3000 pixels start to cause problems and take time to render.
double the size is the way to go.FCP 6.06, OS 10.5.8 2x3GHZ Quad-Core Intel Xeon, Kona LHe, Dulce Duo-eSATA 8 Drive, 4TB Raid.

It looks to me like your photos are fine, the right size to move and zoom in FCP. Have you tried rendering out a full rez quicktime from FCP to see what the final result is? Sometimes FCP does not do photos justice in the viewer depending on your settings.
BTW, when I have a project with lots of photos, I sometimes end up doing the moves in After Effects. Adjustments and rendering seem faster there to me.FCP 6.06, OS 10.5.8 2x3GHZ Quad-Core Intel Xeon, Kona LHe, Dulce Duo-eSATA 8 Drive, 4TB Raid.

What is involved in step 1/reverse telecine?
Are you just taking a pro res setting and changing the frame rate?
I ask because I have a similar situation and was wondering if the process effects the sound quality in terms of pitch etc.FCP 6.06, OS 10.5.8 2x3GHZ Quad-Core Intel Xeon, Kona LHe, Dulce Duo-eSATA 8 Drive, 4TB Raid.

We have used Compressor to go from H.264/Canon to ProRes422 with great success. Any advantage using MPEG Streamclip?

Like all efx there are many work arounds the more experienced you get. I am by no means a compositing expert, but one trick I picked up (used in FCP and AE) is to set the screen replace to source – this way keylight is not filling in green spill – then using Magic Bullet Key Correct Pro plugin to suppress green.
Of course this is an addt expense. Most of my compositing gurus use Keylight just for the key, then Key Correct Pro for matte refinement.FCP 6.06, OS 10.5.8 2x3GHZ Quad-Core Intel Xeon, Kona LHe, Dulce Duo-eSATA 8 Drive, 4TB Raid.

thanks guys. I thought the only way to go was to precompose.
I am trying to do tight “junk” mattes for a bunch of green screen scenes, so I am starting with a keyed scene.FCP 6.06, OS 10.5.8 2x3GHZ Quad-Core Intel Xeon, Kona LHe, Dulce Duo-eSATA 8 Drive, 4TB Raid.
