I am new and learning FCP, I am working with miniDV media.
I have my media stored on a LaCie 500GB RAID.
I am using 2 different macs to edit, my main mac is an imac G5 with tiger, and my other is a G4 laptop with tiger also. Both have FCP 5.0.4.
The "Issue" I have is that everything works fine when working through my iMac G5, but when I take the work home and use my G4 laptop, and using the same RAID, when I open up the sequences I get teh red render line of death, which makes working at home a pain.
Sometimes I wont get a red render line but the canvas screen will not show video and stay a solid green while playing a certain clip in the timeline.
This will happen with no apparent reason as one clip may need to be rendered and one clip will not, when they were all captured the same way etc.
The sequence settings have been checked also.
I've trashed teh preferences also.
I've already updated software, and was told by a friend that maybe my G4 doesn't like my RAID.
Any thoughts???
Much appreciated, Miserable Moe.
