We are using a 16TB SAN conencted through Fiber.

We have never had a problem like this before and still do not on the other 4 FCP systems that are connected to the same SAN.

Even if I open the project (Stego in Edit2) I was working on yesterday in Edit 1 I hav no problems in Edit 1. the project opens fine. I can make any color corrections I want or put any transitions I want on the clip and at worst I will get and Orange (Unlimited RT) but mostly a pale green (Render Proxy) line above the clip.

In Edit 2 I consistantly get a Red (Needs Render) line above the clip.

The system is a brand new 2.8Ghz Octo with 4Gb of memory and an ATI Raedeon HD 2600 video card.

My other systems are Quad Core 2.5Ghz, with $gb of Ram and a GeForce 7800GT video card. some may be lower then that and they all work fine.

This new system is the only on have this issue and not showing me the options that I am used to seeing when I click on the RT triangle next to the TC in the timeline.

These links show the difference in the RT menu from Edit 1 and Edit 2.

Both clip and timeline are set the same. either Mini DV or 8 Bit Uncompressed. In this case 8 bit uncompressed.

When I put the clip in the timeline it is fine, but if I do anything to it, put a dissolve on it, add a color correction ( just add it, not even make adjustments to it) or move it 2 pixels up or down in the motion tab, it turns red and I have to render the entire clip. In my other suites it will turn orange For unlimited playback and the system will play it back to the best of it’s ability.

It will skip frames or lower the quality, but it will play it back .

This system will not.

I upgraded my system to 6.0.3 and along with in QT 7.4.5 and one problem I had was Live Type did not display any texture backgrounds.

Don’t know if that effects you or your type of work, but just pointing it out.

Thanks again Shane, but I posted before I thought.

I checked for more update after I wrote this post and there was a large Mac OSX update that I downloaded and installed alond with a couple of small things that said they fixed Final Cut issues and after that I was able to install the 6.0.2 updates.

Thanks again it was late and I wasn’t thinking clearly.

Ok;

The suggestion above sis not work, Thanks anyway Shane.

So I reformatted and re-installed Leopard and everything else.

Downloaded and installed QT 7.4.1 for Leopard.

I’ve run the software updater and installed Pro Application Support 2007-1 and and right now I am sitting at FCP 6.0.

How do I get from there to FCP 6.0.2 I tried running the standalone installer that I found and downloaded, but it will not run I get a message saying…

“You cannot install Final Cut Pro Update on this volume. You must install this software on a disk with Pro Application Update 2007-02 or higher.”

How do I do that ???

Help.

Thanks in advance

You would think so.

I don’t use markers that much and it’s probably for that reason right there.

Good luck.

I never tried this but what about making a new sequence with the amount of black that you want and then place the original sequence in the new one like a nested clip?

Shane;

Thanks for the assistance, but I found it through another source.

I went to the Final Cut forum on the Apple site and someone there had it and I’m downloading it as we speak.

Again thanks for everything and I hope the uninstall software works.

[Shane Ross] “As for the FCP 6.0.2 link…that leads back to the ProApps update, that gets you to 6.0.3. So it might SAY 6.0.2, but it isn’t. That link has…stupidly…been removed.”

Yes I found that out for myself. Thanks.

So basically apple gave me a new system that I can’t use because if I reformat and re-install everything the most current version of FCP I can get with out going to the pro apps 6.0.3 update would be 6.0 from the DVD’s.

If I do that then the room is not compatible with my other suites which all have 6.0.2 and anything done in the other suites can not be opened in this room.

If anyone has the 6.0.2 update and would like to make it available that would be greatly appreciated.
