I’m actually using 10.4.5 on a Powerbook G4 1.5GHz, with FCP 5.0.4.
No other version of FCP ever gave me problems with this. It’s not only with transitions, sometime filtered clips on top of other clips will have the same effect. -
I’d like to know more about this too. I’ve had a similar problem in a 23.98 16:9 timeline where frames from the transition get duplicated after the transition is complete. It’s driving me nuts!

To follow up, I reverted to QT 7.0.1 and everything works fine now.

Yeah I did all that, except that I’m on a (loaded) Powerbook 1.5GHz. No problems before QT 7 and Tiger. I was afraid I’d have to upgrade, but perhaps it would be for the best. Thanks for your help, though. I’ll still search Apple’s support DB and see what I can find.

I tried the trick, but to no avail. I wonder if there are other such receipts, or even extensions, that are interfering.

Thanks, I’ll give it a shot, although, this pertains to FCP 5, and I’m still under 4.5.
I’ve been wanting to upgrade and get the whole production suite bundle, but I’d rather do so under my own terms, so to speak.
I’ll try the link you sent me and see what happens. -
I agree with the previous posts.
I have some comments:
1. I admit in advance this is a long shot, but do you have more than one brand of RAM installed in your machine? Sometimes, having more than one brand of RAM can cause the strangest things to happen.
2. Have you tried opening your project under a different user login? If you don’t get any errors then, then you know the problem is with your user. If this is the case, you should create a new user and operate from that. It would be nice to narrow down exactly what is problematic about your user, but that could be tricky. To be thorough and clean about it, system-re-installation would be the way to go, if the problem is with your user.
3. I have also seen this “General Error” message. I laughed out loud when I saw it, thinking it was a joke. Please, let’s not have a “Specific Error” that we could actually troubleshoot! I mean, if I get an “error of type -xx occurred” that’s at least something I can send to a tech somewhere. But “General?” That’s just insulting. In my case, the error went away, though I can’t remember the circumstances. But I don’t ever remember there actually being a problem, just a weird message.
Good luck!
