I have done the usual trashing the preferences, but I can't get the permissions repaired. I have done searches on the net and found others having the same problem, but no solutions.
I am color enhancing a movie I did in October and I need to have it ready for Tribeca Film Festival by January 4th, so I'll take any advise you can give.

Thanks for the response Nick.
What makes it happen more ofter is when I view to external monitor (Decklink Extreme HD original). Add a whole bunch of Red Giant Looks II filters and it is really hard to get anything done.

Have you collapsed the multiclips before applying the color correction filter?

Main drive is a 4.5 TB RAID 0 with 1 TB free. I even bought 2-2 GB to see if that could be the problem, but no change.

There is only 6 tracks of video and 6 of sound, but there is no compositing.

That's probably the limits of the 32 bit architecture in FCP. When it overloads, it crashes. Processor intensive media tends to crash FCP, processor intensive plugins if not used sparingly, has a tendency to do the same. Reducing the render precision to 8 bits YUV tends to reduce that load, resulting in fewer crashes than if you are rendering in 32 bit floating point, or "high precision YUV", as FCP calls it. Slow disk I/Os also play a part- when there is insufficient throughput, the machine loads to RAM in an attempt to stabilize things. FCP is able to address 4 gigs of RAM, and if RAM is used up (not sure how disk swap works, but it seems relatively problematic), it also becomes crashier.

I'm stock with FC7 and a MAC "Pro" 8 core Zeon Westmere with 14 GB RAM a 27" Apple LED monitor and a RAID that runs at 300 MB that can't handle simple editing.
I have to finish this feature with what I started with, so What can I do to finish it on time for TRIBECA January 4th 2012? I have finished picture lock, I'm just coloring. What do FC full time editors do? God Bless, Douglas Villalba director/cinematographer/editor Miami, Florida [www.DouglasVillalba.info] [www.youtube.com] [vimeo.com]
Heavy color correction is not simple editing.
What do I do? In FCS, I send it to Color. If you have the DaVinci Resolve, that is a very useful tool for color correction. Both these are more powerful and work more efficiently than the tool you are using, which is a good story teller, not a vfx box. www.strypesinpost.com
I agree, but for simple, non compositing, plain cuts? Something is got to wrong here.
Ever since that Apple pro apps upgrade FC has been crashing. I tried going back to a previous version, but I locked the computer and had to go the Apple Store Genius to get it going again. Most of my work is 30 secs. so it never bother me before. God Bless, Douglas Villalba director/cinematographer/editor Miami, Florida [www.DouglasVillalba.info] [www.youtube.com] [vimeo.com]
"I agree, but for simple, non compositing, plain cuts? Something is got to wrong here."
didn't you say it was all the instances of RedGiant Looks that was causing the crashes? anyway, i cant really comment on that as i haven't used it. apart from getting your film graded elsewhere, which is what i would do as i am not a colourist, i would suggest breaking your project up. do you have the whole feature in one timeline? that could be a source of problems. split it into 15-20 minute sections, and have each section in it's own Project, and work in that alone. nick
That's what I'm saying. I even created a self contained clip and put it on the TL and it still crashed.
Last week I did a clean install of the OS and FCS. I don't know what else to try and I am afraid to freeze the computer again trying to use and old pro app. Would installing Lion help?

Try Digital rebellions tools - there is a free trial which can give you great diagnostics on what the problem is. And then buy it, because it's an awesome suite of tools.
[www.digitalrebellion.com] For full disclosure, I do beta test these, but they are genuinely awesome.
