Thanx Rafael – again! I should put you on the credit list of that movie – seriously.
Makes sense what you say. I think I imported it, that way, cause I thought I do not have to render then – just throw it on the timeline then.
So Uncompressed 8 or 10Bit is the way to go then?

Will try it, and update you how that works.

Thanx again!

No, the exported AE Clip is not on the StartUp Disk, but on the same diskk than all the other material of the film.
I just heard from a friend though, that in OS 10.5.8 and FCP 6 are problems with the XDCAM Codec in Timeline, which is just solved in FCP 7.
So, if that is the case, than I have to live with the crashes, till the project is finished.
I am scared to upgrade a working system during a project – specially with a tight deadline!

Hi John,

I live in PAL land, so both – my original file, as well as the exported file are in 25 fps in progressive mode.

Hi Jerry,

thanx a lot for the quick reply.

1.) I lose theCustom Window Arrangment then, even if they are saved (under the Window Menu, with Alt + save under “Custom Window Layout”. Even then, after the crushing sometimes the save Arrangment is gone.

2.) Yes, there is the message of FCP crushed, if you want to report or ignore this incident.

3.) No, it does not seem to have really a specific pattern, or happen always at the same point.

4.) The Sequence Settings match the clip properties. !!!Just one thing: When I copy pasted clips, between timelines, I got a weird message box, I never saw before (just in this particular project).
I attached a Screen Shot of it to this message.

Thanx a lot!

Greetings, Sascha

Yup, that would be my wish – an own EX3 and a NanoFlash – dream come true.

Oh ha, I hope I am not a candidate for this problem then, since I have still the version 1.0.4.
Is that the problematic one?

[Sascha Engel]

Does that mean, you added before you start the roundtrip manually handles in beginning and end of each clip.
Man, for a whole feature that is some heavy prep work!

How did you do it?

Thanx Rafael – as usual fast, short and good advice!! 🙂

Hi Noah, but I guess not too often as well, as I did hear, that too much cleaning tape ruins the head as well, as it’s kind of a fine “sandpaper” taking particles off. So if you do that too often it wears down the head as well.

Thanx, Dave, that is what I always heard too.
Just wanted to check, cause some DOP here mentioned that issue once.
Feeling calmer now 😉
