<HTML>I have a Blue and White G3 with running OS 8.6 and FCP 1.2.1 (I know I need to upgrade) and I am trying to finish up a project. I have allocated 180mb to FCP and have plenty of hard drive space. Every time I try to play my short project on the timeline it locks up after the titles. I start hearing noises from my machine and I can't do anything except force quit the program. The same thing happens when I am just trying to play clips that I have imported from my hard drive with Quicktime. I understand this may be a hard drive issue, but it only happens playing media. I have also tried turning off any extension I am not using but it doesn't help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.</HTML>
<HTML>Well, if you haven't then trash FCP prefs. Make sure VM is OFF as well as Apple talk. Windows should be at 50% and NOT overlapping. MIXDOWN your audio. Set monitor to thousands of colors istead of millions. Use Mac OS All + whatever extensions you need for your cpature card or video card for 2nd monitor (if you have these)as your extension set. Rebuild desktop. Zap P-ram, trash Finder prefs.
Try these things and lets see. If none of this works then you may indeed have a hardware problem. good luck mike</HTML>
