Cool. Good thing you told us. My newsletter was just about to go out and I had nothing to say in it except Watch Shane Ross's Mexican American War, Sept 29

Ya'll who are downloading this and using it, report backwith any "bugs" you may find. Don't expect a lot of help here though. Many of us are still on 5.0.4 for various reasons.

For once I am taking the plunge and downloading the update IMMEDIATELY. I am between projects so I feel comfortable in being able to do so.

The P2 interface is darn cool. You can preview your MXF footage...rename it...mark in and out and THEN import it. Log it exactly as you would a tape. You can choose what audio tracks to import, or to just import video only, or audio only.

This is a dream come true. NICE GOING APPLE!

Hmmm....now I feel a little pain for Imagine Products.

We could really use the XDCAM 35MBIT import but it is too risky to upgrade with 7 episodes in some state of capture/edit/lock.

I'll be waiting... please everyone else, be a sport and bug test for us would you... thanks

Just upgraded and FCP won't even load!

Trashed prefs etc etc...

Did software update - didn't work

Tried downloading the standalone from apple - still doesn't load


Am gonna check plugins and clean system and try again.

Plus maybe removing receipts...

Grrrrr

Will let you know if I fix/repair/work it out

Hi Ben,

I dnl the updates to my desktop and it would not let me install the 5.1.2.

I went back to Software updates and rather than dnl I selected 'Install'.

This worked for me.

Yeah Ken tried both ways it didn't work

I have just tried emptying the CODECs from Quicktime (looking at the crash report is seemed to indicate a QT error even tho QT worked fine).

FCP now loads

I'll be putting the CODECs back into QT 1 by 1 to see which one is clashing with 5.1.2

AppleIntermediateCodec.component
AvidAVDJCodec.component
AvidAVdvCodec.component

Nice one Ben. I'm gonna FAQ this in preperation for the ensuing panic.

To those that made the jump from 5.0.4. to 5.1.1. UB and still have a Quad or non-MacIntel machine:

Has anyone done the "Apple Disc Exchange" yet and is running 5.1.1. on their non-MacIntel machines? Any weird issues? I want to upgrade to 5.1.2. UB, but I don't plan on buying a MacIntel anytime soon. Does the UB version work well on non-MacIntel boxes?

From the hundreds of posts I've read on many forums all is well with Power Macs and 5.1

So cool -- finally - real time waveform monitors -- downloaded and works like a charm - no issues so far on my G-4 laptop using system 10.4.7 -- will upload to our MacBook Pro 17 inch and G-5 dual 2gig using latest systems as well - Andy

another offending component. Causes FCP to crash upon startup of app.

SheerVideo HD Pro.component (Kind Power PC) Version 2.4.7.5
Re: FCP 5.1.2 IS OUT!
September 27, 2006 12:16AM
Downloaded onto a 1.67 G4 Powerbook - 10.4.7 - UB Version is running sweet on this book. 5.1.2 appears to be running great. The realtime waveforms are very slick. Don't really have the experience to fully use but it sure is fun watching that Vectorscope light up light a sparkler.

Thank you Ben King.

Found other components that cause 5.1.2 to crash. Generally speaking check for older versions ie: SheerVideo HD Pro.component version 2.4.7.5 will crash the app at startup.

...but there are so many "offending codecs" (especially the Avid codecs !?!?!). This is an issue I was referring to when I asked if there were any issues with upgrading from 5.0.4 to 5.1.2. I personally need & use all those codecs so this kinda $uck$ bigtime.

Avid codecs are confirmed as having issues and have read others having problems with BM codecs. I need to check the BM site

If Paul from Apple (PfA) could chime in here...would be greatly appreciated. Would love to hear about the conflicts between these many codecs and 5.1.2. and if there may be a fix or if it's a Quicktime thing...also if anyone else is having any other issues with 5.1.2.

Shane has already posted a "how to go back to 5.1.1." thread which scares me into not going to 5.1.2. just yet.

Thanx

Joey I think you misread my post the long list is fine on the PPC G5s I've tested 5.1.2 on...

Mike, I have tested the Avid Meridian & AvidDV CODECs and they work fine on the PPC I gather that there is a clash on the Intel Macs though. Of course you still cannot run FCP with Avid CODECs but you can still export using QT conversion as per usual. So using them with your Mac and AE should still work fine.

Andreas, I have the latest Universal Binary Blackmagic CODECs for Decklink and again on the PPC they work as usual. I can't confirm them on the Intel Macs yet. The link is here DeckLink 5.7 for Mac OS X 10.4 Universal: [www.blackmagic-design.com]

I haven't had time to test these on the Intel Macs yet - perhaps Josh will have time over the next week to test it out. I will liaise with him and see if we can run some CODEC tests on them.

Regards

Ben

Apple wont comment on "bugs" If these issues are for real then a fix will be coming, either from third parties or Apple. Avid codecs look to be a real issue but as to the rest, who knows. Can't really tell much from posts on forums.

Well...guess we have to ask what Mac you using when folks chime in with codec issues. My guess are most folks are using the Intel Macs who are running 5.1

Gotcha Ben, I'll have some more time next week and we can have a look through them on one of the new intel macs and see what issues crop up!

I have the this SheerVideo codec installed on my Mac Book and FCP 5.1.2 runs fine. The codec itself is not UB, so does not work, but it does not crash FCP 5.1.2 on my machine. Is it crashing on a G5 mac? I use this codec extensively, so this is very important for me to know. Thanks.
