RT for dissolve quits working in XDCAM EX timeline

I'm editing a project in XDCAM EX 1080i/60, 35mbs. I have render set to ProRes, timeline is "Safe Rt"/dynamic playback.

Every 6 or 10 edits my RT for dissolves turns from green to red, for no apparent reason. If I shut down, trash prefs with FCP rescue and restart the project, everything starts working again, but after awhile I get the same problem. Any clue what's going on or how to solve the problem.

I've edited a dozen or show 1 hour shows on this same system/same format and have never run into this.

I'm on a Mac Pro, dual quad core, 3ghx, 10 GB ram & my video drive is an xserve raid, running OSX 10.5.6 & QT 7.6.

thx...Jim Watt

Sorry, I can't help you. I'm editing XDCAM EX 1080P30 and everything is fine. I'm on OX 10.5.6 but still using QT 7.5.5.

Is this Jim Watt from Woodholly days?

Thanks. I'm not sure, but this may have begun when I switched to QT 7.6.

Different Jim Watt...I worked out of LA for NBC network news from '67-78 & now have our own company in Seattle area.

>timeline is "Safe Rt"/dynamic playback.

why don't you switch to unlimited RT?

Thanks, and I have done that on this project a few times, but the point is why will using safe RT work for several edits then all of a sudden quit? Obviously something is going on with my system and I'm just trying to figure out what it is so it doesn't slip up and bite me when I don't expect it.
