Yes. It did have me put a disc in first, then fire up the drive (preformatted as windows). Everything looked good, reformatted drive to HFS with no problem. Worked on a project, went to burn in DVDSP and got an error message (volume in use). Was able to build to a file and burn using Toast…so did some searching and when I was about to give up found a post from someone with the same problem and that the only thing changed on his system was the addition of a WD 1TB drive…which got me to thinking…

I’ve got 3 WD USB drives (less than 1TB) that I regularly use for specific projects, and never had something like this happen. Maybe it has to do with the RAID ability, or the use of Firewire 800. But it’s real and it happened, so hopefully this post will benefit someone else should they encounter the same problem.

Thanks for the comments.

the option -T worked great for my purposes.
Thank you all so much. Everyone should keep this tip in mind – maybe send it to Larry Jordan for his next newsletter. One of those features we don’t use often enough that we tend to forget it’s there.

Sean,

I’m guessing that your MEDIA is on a network drive and therein may lie the problem. I’ve had synch issues as well because the network could not keep up with my project (on the local drive) as it was trying to access the media from the networked drive.

I don’t really have an answer, but I’ve run into similar problems editing multi-cam off of a networked drive. Personally, I don’t think the connection is fast enough to support multiple video streams. I know it sucks space wise, but multi cam has always worked best for me on a local drive.

Thanks guys.
No go on the copy and paste Tom – it will take the parameters from the first video clip and apply that to all. But thanks to your help I’m halfway there anyway.

Arnie – i suppose my question was really more geared to keeping the motion tab separate from the other two so I can look at the video clip as I adjust the motion parameters. If the motion tab stays up front I still can’t see the video clip adjustments – the canvas doesn’t work well if I’m trying to set a position prior to a dissolve. The canvas shows the preceding clip but the viewer shows the actual clip being manipulated.

Tom’s suggestion worked.
Unfortunately the motion timings did not adjust as well, so the motion is complete halfway through the duration, so I will still need to go in and tweak them, but better than reimporting and starting from scratch.

If anyone has ideas about the motion settings I’d love to hear them.

Speaking of motion settings, I’ve tried to set up a workspace that keeps the motion tab separate from the video and audio tabs, but every time I load a new a clip it has the motion tab attached to the other two so I need to drag it off or click on it to bring it to the front. This gets old after 100 clicks. Anyone know of a trick to keep the motion tab up front when loading a clip into the viewer?

AND HOW FREAKIN’ EASY COULD THAT BE?

How the heck do you folks know all of this stuff?
Better yet how the heck did it get turned off? Maybe the upgrade.
Anyway – it looks perfect now.

Thanks!

Did you ever get a response to this?
I have the same problem. Kind of irks me since I ordered a computer with 4 NVIDA cards just so I could run multiple monitors with no trouble.

Thanks for the information. I disconnected the second monitor, rebooted and all is working fine now. I’ve got 4 NIVDIA 7300 GT cards 256 MBin this computer and now I can only use one monitor. Are there better cards that would support more monitors?

Thanks,
Mike

I just bought some RAM from OWC. I ordered the wrong type but they allowed me to return it for the correct type which works great. Seems to be a good company.
