Walter is right. 4 Gb RAM would be great. But I think as debe. To put more RAM later on will be always easier than to change the procesors..

I think that a project is corrupt when is only that project the one that cause problems. When I got problems with not only one project, them I think about the system and the application. And if what is corrupted is the project, trash the prefs is for nothing. And when I think that the project is corrupted, I open a new project and I drag everything from the brownser of the crrupted project to the new one. Save it and open it. Its works the 95% (?) of the times. Why? I don’t kno, but its works.
I belive than at least the 75% of the problems with FC happens because the system is not optimized. Boots in safe mode, repairing permisions, running maintenace and Diskwarrior o Techtools are things to do before to think about re-installing FC. And I think that trash the preffs is the last thing.
If you want to trash the prefss, you must go to Users>Your account>Librari>Prefferences>Final Cut Pro User Data>
There you got three docs with the FCs thunbnail (Final Cut Pro 5.0 Prefs/Final Cut Pro Obj Cache/Final Cut Pro Prof Cache). Those are the docs that you must trash.
I think that your RAM can be giving you problems. 4.5Gbs RAM can not be paired as is recommended.Cheers,

Bret,
Those are just effects of my bad English and my 28Kbps internet connexion.

What ever you import to iMovie is transcoded to a DV Sequence, so just avoid it,

Quentin,
Before to start trashing preffs, re-installing etc, in necesary make sure that your system is optimiced and got clean directories etc. Repairing permissions, Maintenance and Diskwarrior or Techtools.

Tom,
I wanted to say that for static and animated titles (I haven’t rried jet the Boris Text Crawl) Boris is the best option.
By the way in RIpple Training there is a tutorial about how to make a two-columns title crawl. Very easy and elegant:
“Creating scrolling titles in Final Cut Pro” (Creating Scrolling Text “Gutters” in Final Cut Pro). By Estelle MacDonald.
Cheers,

Jason,
If you are just cutting in FC, export as “refference movie” (not self-contained). Save a lot of space in your HDs.

Hi Michael,
I think one of the succes of FC is that has catch on, better than other systems-aplications, with the old-school video editors. I’ve been editing since 1.985 and I remember the first time I tried to learn Premier (!966) I felt really uncomfortable. It was like that has nothing to do with my job. I just gave up. But first time I tried FC (2.001) in my laptot conectet Firewire to a small camara and monitoring in a big TV set, I thought that was great. And, here we are..FC 6 (?) 🙂

But if you do it in FC, use the Boris Title 3D.
