Not sure that rant is particularly helpful to the OP.

Have you tried turning off thumbnails in the timeline, this stopped the crashes for me.

The workflow is reliable and relatively straightforward, I have been working with EX and FCP since the EX1 first came out with NO file problems at all. Like any new system you just need to know how it works,.

I would recommend anyone who is buying an EX camera to research the workflow thoroughly BEFORE you invest in the kit. there are plenty of courses available out there.

Hopefully any new FCP will make it a little easier, but I also understand Sony may be working on a more unified piece of software for XDcam

Not shooting interlace is very helpful as well

Have you set the import location in XDCam import preferences?

I was also a Discreet Edit user, I then had to spend a year editing at a facility that used Premiere 6.5, so now I have an inbuilt mistrust of Premiere even though I know it’s not the same!

If Adobe have actually taken more care with the Mac of version of CS5 then I may have a look as well.

Walter is right to get excited about DaVinci Resolve, I still can’t believe that BMD have released it at that price, I’ll be very interested to see how he compares it to Color

My worry would be that if it’s a ground up re-write, then it might take a long while to get a stable version of any new FCP. At least with PPro they have had the time to refine the code, there’s lot’s of good reports about the stability of CS5.
