Problems with FCP 5.1Posted by bubbalanyc
Hello all,
I am having major problems with my system.....I was asked by a client to upgrade to 5.1 for a new job.....I was running FCP 5 with no problems whatsoever. This is my problem.....I try to launch old projects....I get the beachball.....Some projects decide they want to work for a bit...then beachball. Here is my equipment....I have a Dual 2.0 ghz PowerPC G5 with 1.5 GB of RAM....Operating system OS X 10.4.8, Quicktime 7.1.3, FCP 5.1.2.....I also have 2 Sonnet Tech Fusion 500P SATA RAIDS....each is Raided with 5 drives each. These RAIDs are controlled by a Sonnet Tech Tempo SATA X4P.... Ok, I trashed the preferences....I upgraded the Kona 2 firmware to 3.3....and still the beachball....PLEASE, I need your help....Thanks so much, k.
bubbalanyc can you give a little more info with what is happening when you try and open the projects?
Is FCP open and are you opening the project from within the app? Is the programme 'hanging' or do you get any error messages? I think Andy's suggestion of creating a new user account might be the best path to take. Do you have nay other machines on 5.1 or access to another machinie wher eyou could upgrade the projects?
Andy, I repaired the permissions and trashed the preferences several times.....but nothing....I will try the new user to see what happens......Josh....I open of the app and it differs from project to project....
For instance, on one project....it loads everything....but when the kona kicks in to prepare for viewing......the bar stops processing...and i get the beachball....Project #2.....the app loads everything seems fine on one timeline...click on other timeline opened.....beachball....Project #3....the app opens click on timeline to scrub through.....beachball....ugh....I don't know what to do....
