Re: FCP 7.0.3 frequent crashes - 13 years ago
I have never been a big fan of the iArse, considering the advances Apple has made with the iTush, such as advanced backside illumination and built-in noise suppression.by Mike Chandler - Café LA

Re: FCP 7.0.3 frequent crashes - 13 years ago
Thanks for the info on the Raids and for your article, Ben. AM already set to .5 secs RT set to ignore dropped frames, will check on dynamic Another point in favor of it not being the drives is that I was getting the same crash frequency on a different project with a completely different set of drives, these in a SATA raid.

Re: FCP 7.0.3 frequent crashes - 13 years ago
Dave--it was off the Leopard disk. The other two Developer tools packages would load, but not "tools" itself. Is it time for me to switch to Snow Leopard? Any advantages? Does that 55-70% mean that it's probably not the video card?by Mike Chandler - Café LA
Re: FCP 7.0.3 frequent crashes - 13 years ago
I couldn't get developer tools to install (error: run tools preinstall script) , so I used atMonitor instead. Got the timeline to crash (Crash Analyzer: MPEG MEdia) and stats at the time of the crash were: CPU 6-9%, GPU 0% VRAM 55% While scrubbing through the timeline beforehand to make the crash, VRAM was about 63-69% and got as high as 71%.

Re: FCP 7.0.3 frequent crashes - 13 years ago
Wondering if someone would comment on those drive speeds--they seem very different from what jw said his were, and one of the externals looks like it might have a problem. (not that this influences the analyses of the crashes, as with SATA drives the crashes were happening just as often)by Mike Chandler - Café LA

Thanks, jw, I guess 18 months isn't long enuf to fix it.by Mike Chandler - Café LA

and crashes always happen when attempting to drag through the timeline.by Mike Chandler - Café LA
Re: FCP 7.0.3 frequent crashes - 13 years ago
Leopard OS (10.5.8), MacPro 2x2.93Ghz Quad Core Intel Zeon, 16 GB Ram, Sonnet SATA card, BM Intensity Pro Card, ATI Radeon HD 4870. Yamaha Mixer. External mic for VO. I use the BM card to watch the show on a Vizio 42", while also watching on two Planar work LCD monitors. On the last show, I used individual FW drives, on this one a SATA raid--no difference in the number of crashes.by Mike Chandler - Café LA
Re: Visible time code - 13 years ago
Thanks, Frank. That's what I thought I was doing, but I'll double-check next time. Reader or generator?by Mike Chandler - Café LA
Re: FCP 7.0.3 frequent crashes - 13 years ago
My experience is similar to jw's. Started with 7, (and w/ using hd footage on the new MacPro). I could maybe live with crashing once or twice a day, but I'm up to 3-4, no exaggeration. On my prior project I was sending little notes to Apple every time it crashed --project stopped at #104! Used to edit sd on a non intel laptop and never crashed once. And what I was saying about the photoby Mike Chandler - Café LA
Re: Visible time code - 13 years ago
Piggybacking another TC question on this thread, Tom. When outputting a show with timecode window, an editor showed me how to open the sequence in the viewer and drag to timeline to create nested sequence, put TC generator effect on top after playing with the parameters in Effects. It gets the resize and rename and fps, but positioning it using the centering (+) tool hardly ever works. I haby Mike Chandler - Café LA
Re: FCP 7.0.3 frequent crashes - 13 years ago
Ben--The Maintenance Pak looks promising. Wondered if the crash report really worked, but then read Shane's article. I'll have to give it a try. jw--the big photos are always a problem, but pretty easy to know when they're the culprits.by Mike Chandler - Café LA
Re: FCP 7.0.3 frequent crashes - 13 years ago
I have multiple crashes daily, which usually happen when I scrub through the timeline (or sometimes even just touch it). Happens whether using SATA or FW drives. Timeline is mainly xdcam footage, renders set to Pro Res. I don't use any third-party plugins. Done all the usual trash prefs, etc. Happened before and after update to 7.03.

Super Mag error - 14 years ago
When I download the new 09 Supermag, Adobe tells me there's an error and it can't open. Anyone else getting this? (SuperMag_042109.pdf.zip 37.9MB)by Mike Chandler - Café LA
Re: XDCam EX import trouble... - 15 years ago
Keep the original file name while at the same time putting in your own custom name that gets numbered sequentially. You can do the latter in XDCT, but to keep the original name, you need to cut and paste it inidividually in the Comment column where it will then show up in the Logging column in fcp. With the new L&T, you can add any number of combinations of re-naming, but the most importanby Mike Chandler - Café LA
Re: XDCam EX import trouble... - 15 years ago
No, Andy, I was referring to Chuck's post and thought he was talking about ex footage. Don't know why if Sony changed the subclip naming they didnt go ahead and change other naming, too.by Mike Chandler - Café LA
Re: OT: Burning Blu-Ray Discs Using the New FCS... - 15 years ago
Will it burn from a 1080p/30 timeline, even tho this is not a blu-ray spec?by Mike Chandler - Café LA
Re: Edit in a low res format to avoid long renders? - 15 years ago
Perfect. I'd been asking for a way a friend could take his HDV project on the road, and that tutorial is it. Not knowing about Media Manager/Recompression, I suggested to him dropping his hdv into a pro res lt or proxy timeline, but I take it that that method would achieve...absolutely nothing?by Mike Chandler - Café LA
Re: XDCam EX import trouble... - 15 years ago
Renaming now works in Log & Transfer. You can change the name, add successive shot numbering, and keep the original name. And it's now faster than XDCT. Until Sony upgrades, that's the way to import.by Mike Chandler - Café LA
Re: Edit in a low res format to avoid long renders? - 15 years ago
Shane, do you mean this: 2008 FCPUG SuperMag Magazine/Transcoding for Editing on the Road by Shane Ross or something different. Don't see a NAB Supermeet mag.by Mike Chandler - Café LA
Re: Is it possible to burn a blu-ray disc from FCS-3 (final cut 7, dvdsp5) ? - 15 years ago
You can also burn a blu-ray disk from within fcp7, using Share.by Mike Chandler - Café LA
Re: XDCam EX import trouble... - 15 years ago
If she's got $300, she should upgrade to fcp7 and use Log & Transfer, which is now much better than XDCAM transfer. Also, she may need an Intel Mac and Leopard depending on the version she's downloading.by Mike Chandler - Café LA
Re: Naming clips while importing with XDCam Transfer - 15 years ago
You should upgrade to FCS3 and use Log & Transfer instead of XDCAM transfer. The new naming capabilities in L&T make it worth the price of admission for XDCAM users.by Mike Chandler - Café LA
Re: How does FCP know that clips are imported? - 15 years ago
Mathis--Why aren't you importing using Log & Transfer and cutting on a ProRes timeline or some other codec timeline set to ProRes to render?by Mike Chandler - Café LA
Re: P2 batch rename problems - 15 years ago
1.You could use xml to rename the clips instead of excel. You export to a text file, use find/replace and re-import. 2. Or given the time you're spending, upgrade to fcp7 and use the new Log & Transfer to re-import your clips, makes batch renaming p2 and xdcam clips a snap.by Mike Chandler - Café LA
