Nice job of detective work!

Try removing any third party plug ins you may have installed (line 0 seems to point to a problem with the plug in directory, though honestly I have limited ability to read this technical gobbledygook)
If everything works, then gradually re-introduce plug ins until the problem returns…then you know which one is the problem.

[Mrandom] “I am creating Quicktime references in AVID and importing them into FCP. When I do this and lay the QT referenced clips on the timeline they have to be rendered to play or edit them. Is there a setting or a step I am missing to have these clips playback in real time? Thanks –MrandomEditors save hundreds of Hollywood jobs every week.”
You need to export them in the same Quicktime codec as your sequence in FCP. Unfortunately, the Avid Compressed and Uncompressed codecs do not work in FCP.
What codec are you using in FCP? Is your Avid on PC or Mac?

Glad to help.
The process is pretty obscure, so its no wonder you were having problems. I wish Apple could make it more obvious…but then again, I am happy its at least possible…on Avid, you can’t do it at all…despite the fact that their Quicktime codec supports embedded alphas.

It works. Just did a test to be sure, as I have not had need to do it in quite awhile…but the method still works.

Put the green screen clip on layer 2 and set up the key. Leave layer 1 empty (or remove the background clip after you get the key set up). Do not render (or make it become unrendered after you set up the key). Export with Quicktime conversion to the Animation codec.
If the clip is rendered in the timeline, you will not get the alpha channel cut out, as the render file creates a composite of all layers. -
Try increasing the size of your waveform cache in your preferences. They wont have to redraw as often.

OMF’s exported from FCP will ONLY work in digital audio workstations, like Pro Tools.
If you want OMF’s readable by Avids, you need Automatic Duck.

Very unusual. That type of freeze is extremely rare on OSX…probably indicates the problem is in hardware.
Offhand, I would say this is drive related..but its hard to say. Can you try different FW cables? Could also be your internal boot drive freezing…A physical problem, not a directory issue, that DW wont fix. When virtual memory accesses the bad sector, you freeze.
Bad RAM is also a possibility, but you have apparently been working for a while without problems, so that is probably not it.
