CGDrawBitmap

After having frozen FCE HD a number of times, especially with dropped frames, I found the following message in ther Coinmsole Log. Can it be relevant, and if so, what does it mean? Can I do anything about it?
" Jan 30 08:23:56 antonio-veronesis-power-mac-g5 /Applications/Final Cut Express HD.app/Contents/MacOS/Final Cut Express HD: The function CGDrawBitmap is obsolete and will be removed in a Tiger update. Unfortunately, this app, or a library it uses, is using this obsolete function, and is thereby contributing to an overall degradation of system performance."
Thanks all
antonio

Interesting.
I find exactly the same message in my /var/log/system.log file, and it seems to appear at some (not all) FCE HD activation.
Still I don't have any visible degradation in my configuration, no dropped frames, no freezes.
Sorry not to be helpful...
Anyboby has any explanation/suggestion ?
Thanks
Piero

  • Sudden spinning ball - FCE freezes

    I recently upgraded from FCE 1.0 to FCEHD. I am editing my first project in FCEHD and in the middle of playing from the timeline, I get the spinning beach ball (with no warning or explanation). This started after about one week of working on this project. My system seems to be frozen and I must do a Force Quit. I have watched the ball spinning for several minutes (thinking it would stop), but it never does. This now happens EVERY time I try to edit my project and play from the timeline (sometimes after adding only one clip) My project files (as well as my scratch files) are all on a LaCie external HD. Could that be the problem?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    To Repair Permissions you have to open: Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility, then choose your HD and click "Repair Permissions".To see your crash log, hit a search for FinalCutExpressHD.crash log to see if there is something you understand.Even better when the crash occurs and before you turn off look at Applications > Utilities > System Profiler > System log. It may turn out to be CGDrawbitmap is obsolete etc.
    If you can initiate a completely new project, even a very small one, it would indicate if the problem is in the project or in FCE.

  • Does Final Cut Express makes a Powerbook slower?

    I just got Final Cut Express HD. As soon as I install it, I felt that my Powerbook G4 was getting so slow, I rebooted but still the same. Is there anything that I need to activated or deactivated?
    I have 25Gigs free, my PowerBook is a 1.35Mhz and 782MB in Ram. Before the installation my PowerBook was a jet! now it is a slower turtle. It doesn't make sense.
    Please a little help,

    I can't say I've noticed it. But it could actually be slowing down your system. Check your console messages; you'll notice:
    "The function CGDrawBitmap is obsolete and will be removed in a Tiger update. Unfortunately, this app [FCE], or a library it uses, is using this obsolete function, and is therby contributing to an overall degradation of system performance."
    I've searched around this issue and can't find out that much about it. i.e. whether it really is slowing things down.
    Otherwise you specs are better than mine and I've not noticed a slow down. Do you have a lot of other apps open?

  • Newly bought FCE HD using obsolete system routines?

    Funny enough to see Final Cut Express HD (german) is not importing iMovie HD projects, ...
    Now, my console reported the following error:
    Jan 1 17:28:16 <hostname removed> /Applications/Final Cut Express HD.app/Contents/MacOS/Final Cut Express HD: The function CGDrawBitmap is obsolete and will be removed in a Tiger update. Unfortunately, this app, or a library it uses, is using this obsolete function, and is thereby contributing to an overall degradation of system performance.
    Will this mean, my freshly bought copy of FCE HD is outdated as installed and having the risk of beeing unusable when upgrading to future Mac OS Tiger releases?
    G4/MP, miroMotion DC 30 plus    

    The system degradation is negligible. Yes, the software is outdated. It was written prior to Tiger. It's perfectly functional in the correct version of the OS. Whether this version will remain functional in all future releases of the OS is anyone guess.
