Entourage crashing FCP?

Has anyone else reached the conclusion that running Entourage in the background while using FCP Log and Capture results in a couple kinds of crashes? In one case, capture stops and I get an error report saying the deck or tape has a problem, sometimes says end of tape was reached. In that case, I can continue capturing after manually stopping the deck. In the second case, my entire iMac freezes and I have to shut it off and then restart. Upon reloading the project, I have to "Restore" to whatever the last autosave left me and then "Import" any footage captured between that snapshot and the crash. Usually the last attempted capture results in a bad file that won't import. I've been capturing without Entourage loaded and so far no crashes. I'm going to try changing the notification settings in Entourage mail as that may be causing the problem. I hate to lose the ability to have both programs running simultaneously.

Well, just posted the above and turned around to see that my iMac had crashed and needed restarting after rewinding a tape. Entourage not running. Not sure, though, if an Entourage agent might be lurking somewhere. Also, didn't happen during capture, which is unusual...

  • File Crashing FCP - Can import from different tape brand be at fault?

    I always use Sony Premium mini DV tapes and import my video through my Sony DSR-11 miniDV deck into FCP.
    I was recently handed a Fujifilm miniDV tape. The video imported fine. But once I dragged it to the timeline, rendering any transitions or filters caused big gray boxes to appear on the video. Sound also fell. I was able to make it work - but the exported file retained the boxes at different places each time I exported.
    Now the file doesn't open at all and it crashes FCP. All other files on my system still open and export fine except for this one.
    My question is 1. whether the change of tape brand can cause the import to go haywire.
    and 2. Is there any way I can open this file? I trashed preferences and restarted with no luck.
    Any suggestions ar emuch appreciated. Thanks!

    I've never had the same experience, so this is purely speculation.
    Changing brands used in the same camcorder has been reported as the cause of recording & playback problems. But, since the playback from the DSR was okay, I'm guessing the brand isn't the problem.
    Could be the camcorder settings don't match your FCP settings?
    What if you copied the Fuji tape to Sony tape in your camcorder. That way you would have control of both the tape and the camcorder settings.

  • Thumbnail view crashing FCP -- Kona3 the problem?

    For larger projects, running bins in thumbnail view crashes FCP.
    Most of the time, I'm editing 6 to 8 min. stories for a news magazine format show. We shoot on Sony XDCAM, so usually 2 or 3 disks per project (roughly 44 mins of HD viddy per disk, with anywhere from 20 to 120 individual clips on the disk).
    However, for our documentaries (either 26 mins or 56mins) we shoot between 30 to 45 disks full of content. When importing the disks into FCP7, we use a bin per disc, translating into an average of 80 clips per bin. Whenever a project is this big, I can only open 3 or so bins in thumbnail view. After that, the system crashes. Even if I only keep one bin open at a time, by that fourth bin, the system crashes.
    We are using a KONA3 card configuration.
    Anyone else seen this?

    PROBLEM IDENTIFIED (NOT SOLVED):
    I've had this problem with thumbnail images crashing FCP after opening bins for over a year now and when going back using footage from old projects it happens more frequently. I can open 2-4 bins before it will crash FCP completely.
    TROUBLESHOOTING IN THE PAST:
    - Dumped Prefs
    - Re-installed FCP
    - Formatted & Re-installed EVERYTHING (OSX included)
    - Increased thumbnail cache size
    - Created new projects & bins, etc.
    CONCLUSION:
    None of the above troubleshooting strategies worked. Increasing the thumbnail cache size may appear to work a little but problem persists with little improvement.
    HOW I IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM:
    Only recently have I been working with other formats aside from XDCAM. I've recently incorporated more ProRes files into my most recent project of T2i footage from the Canon DSLR camera. If I open a bin and display thumbnails of the ProRes video clips everything works without a problem. Loading thumbnail bins with the raw .mp4 files also works fine. Only loading XDCAM files will cause FCP to crash. The problem has nothing to do with the Kona card. If you read the posts carefully here and elsewhere you will see the common denominator is the XDCAM encoded video files being displayed as thumbnail icons.
    I am using XDCAM EX files at 1080p 30fps. To further isolate this problem as something having to do with the XDCAM files, another user posted on another thread:
    *"I am having similar issues with two separate projects. The only commonality between them is XDCam.*
    *To possibly isolate it I reinstalled FCP on one system, and installed latest Blackmagic driver on the the same. Both systems are up to date visa vi OS, FCP, and QT.*
    *Both still crash with the same regularity as described here."*
    Apple, this problem has persisted for more than two years and is a major problem. Just search the forums including this one. Any further upgrades of Final Cut Studio or OS X are worthless until this problem is fixed. A brand new body and interior won't fix a car with a broken engine. Please help!! Please solve this issue with the XDCAM footage in FCP!
    If anyone has any solutions or work arounds please notify me. I need it!

  • XML Crashing FCP while importing.  Magic Bullet Looks could be the problem

    Hi All,
    Need a little help here.
    I am using FCP 6.0.5 on a power mac G-5.
    I am trying to open an XML which was exported out of FCP 7 as a version 4 XML.
    Magic Bullet Looks is being used on the project, and I think this is were the problem is.
    when importing the XML it crashes FCP when I select the Include Video/Audio Effects.
    When I import the XML without this option selected it opens fine.
    I have MB Looks Installed on machine, so the Plugins are there.
    Just wanted to see if anyone has dealt with this issue or might have any insight to the problem.
    I can post the Crash info on the specific thread if that can help.
    Thanks!

    Couldn't agree more Jim - hence why I'm not using Snow Leopard yet as I had a nightmare in the early adoption of an older operating system. As for MBL, there seem to be many using it without problems so I don't think it's an issue with the product per say and it really is a very good plug-in. (That view will change to excellent once the problems go away) I just need to get to the bottom of which square peg is destined for which round hole and I'm hopeful that all will be well. I've also submitted a support question to Magic Bullet so will update if I get a solution. I like the CleanApp idea. I'll try that as well. (and I may even give Snow Leopard a go!)

  • Rendering Sequence with Motion 3 Template Crashes FCP

    I am using a template with 8 drop zones from Motion 3 in FCP 6.0.2. The template is used about 10 times end to end with a slight overlap. As FCP renders the sequence about 23% of the way through it crashes FCP. The templates contain still images - no video.
    Any thoughts? (Besides don't use templates)
    Thanks!

    Joe,

  • AVCHD files crashing FCP using Perian

    Hi everyone, I'm wondering if anyone can help with a rather hard to pin down issue.
    AVCHD files on a SD card recorded on a Panasonic broadcast camera have started crashing FCP on random file transfers (log and transfer window), say I have 30 clips to transfer, it'll freeze then crash the system on clip 22 but the other clips will be fine.
    I have had a look at the report window and it says' Perian has unexpectedly quit' (why the **** are apple using third party software to do the job) and the log is just code to me.
    I first suspected the camera an AG HMC151 (150) because I have two so it was easy to just test the other one, but it does it on both.
    Then I suspected the cards, it does it on all of them.
    So I can only assume it's the macs, of which I have two, both have 10.6.6 and I'm running FCP 6.0.6. they are both about a year old.
    Because this is a random problem it's actually rather stressful as this is my living.
    If anyone has any good ideas or has experienced this please let me know, I think I have mentioned everything I know and apologise if I have left out some piece of vital info.
    Thanks

    I've been having the same issue with importing AVCHCD footage from my Sony NXCAM. Through some major digging, I discovered someone else in another forum recommend the program Clip Wrap 2 (which I see someone also recommended above). I downloaded it just now and it works GREAT for creating useable clips. Highlight recommend.

  • AVCCam Crashing FCP

    Hi,
    Just back from Cannes where my latest short film was picked up by a distributor...aside from that great news, back to reality:
    I'm just trying to load in some footage from the new HMC151 panasonic AVCCam.
    However, everytime I try log and transfer it crashes FCP saying there's a problem with Perian. I've tried different Macs, card readers, using the camera as the reader etc, but the clips won't load in.
    I tried shooting in 720/25p and the clips came in fine, but that doesn't help the fact I have a card full of 720/50p clips I need to get in and edit.
    Any ideas? How do I remove Perian to get that out of the equation?
    Help as always appreciated.
    Kenny.

    It has an uninstaller.
    Look in the system preferences.

  • Sequences crash fcp

    so we're transitioning from fcp 5.0.4. on a g5, 10.3.9 to fcp 6.0.4 on an intel, 10.4.11. i've got all my old fcp sequences transfered over along with all the necessary files. however, there are some projects that have troublesome sequences that crash fcp whenever i try and open them. the projects are updated and open fine. but when i try and open up certain sequences, they'll open up in the timeline and immediately crash fcp.
    i tried copying all the files in the project to a new project. i deleted the old project file and resaved it under a new name. i saved and restarted fcp. still have the exact same problem. what's going on? am i never going to be able to open these sequences again? cause they're kinda important.

    so your guess is that it's an operating system issue? and you don't think it could be anything else? i suppose that does make sense since the issue makes no sense at all, but just wanna confirm before thinking about spending more money.

  • MX Revolution Crashes FCP 5.1.4

    hey all i just go the new Mx Revolution Mouse since some people said it worked great with FCP, but he second i touch the scroll wheel it crashes FCP.
    if any one else has an MX rev and let me know if you have the same problem and if you know of a fix.
    Thanks.
    Josh

    It seems like some of the commands from this device are not compatible, I would go into system preferences and turn off some OS commands on the mouse and in expose that share the same f-keys with FC and see what happens.
    Good Luck

  • Entourage Crashing Constantly

    Please can someone assist. I am running entourage. When opening some new mails (doesn't seem to be too picky which ones) entourage crashes. Before the end of the year I had this problem and it brought my entire machine down requiring the hard drive to be replaced. Time machine did not keep a copy of my mail and although the repair agent provided me with my original 8gb mail file (mail from the last 4 years) I was unable to get it running again as it could not rebuild the db.
    I accepted this fate and started over again except that I am having the same issues all over again. Mail crashing on trying to open some new emails. I (having learned my lesson now back up manually with an mbox drop) am now unable to do an mbox drop on my sent items. Entourage crashes and gives the following information:

    But ...
    This forum is for Apple's Mail program, so I don't know if you will find many Entourage experts hanging around here. I had a quick look at your crash log, but it is not in the format used by Apple, so I could not see any clues in it.

  • Master Templates is crashing FCP 7, In Maverick

    I just updated my iMac from Lion to Maveric. I was very disapointed that all the Master Templates HD are crashing FCP 7. Its amazing that Apple did not fix this issue with FCP7 upgrade. To get FCP X is out of the question.
    Is there a solution thanks.

    Have you tried trashing your FCP  Preferences? This is a common first step when you get unexpected performance from Final Cut Studio components.
    You can download Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion (free) and it will do it for you:

    Your preferences will be reset to default settings the nest time you launch the applications.

  • P2 Media Crashing FCP

    I have a lot of P2 media from a variety of P2 cards and have imported it without any big problems.
    The contents of one of the cards however crashes FCP every time I try to import it. I can see the media fine on Panasonic's P2CMS reader however so I know it's there.
    Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this, or better yet, some kind of work-around so I can get this footage into my project?
    Thanks!

    It was recorded on an HVX200 and then copied to a backup drive (which has been our workflow for the whole project). It was shot out of town, so I don't have the camera or the P2 device to repair it.
    I'm importing the P2 media via FCP's P2 media import window. Is there any other way? (It's worked for all the other media on this project.)

  • Entourage crash- all data lost!

    Microsoft Entourage just crashed on me for no apparent reason. I first saw a message related to a problem with the database, but I honestly didn't pay attention to it. When Entourage crashed shortly after that, it asked if I wanted to restart, but when it opened everything was lost. No folders, nothing in the Inbox...nothing. I installed the 10.4.6 update but I'm not sure if that's related.
    After searching other posts, I've tried to accsss the library file, but there doesn't seem to be anything there (unless I'm not doing this correctly).
    Any suggestions? Or is this just a lost cause??
    Thanks,

    This is a relatively frequent, recurring and ongoing problem for Entourage users. My advice is generally to migrate away from the application at your first opportunity, as it is prone to such data corruption issues. If that is not practical, you'll need to become an Entourage maintenance expert to reduce the likelihood of future problems, and you will need to back up regularly.
    You'll find this site a great place to start when trying to deal with these issues:

    Link segments four and five on this page may be particularly helpful, but you should read the entire document before attempting to recover or reconstruct your Entourage database.

  • Dragging a large still image from the browser into the viewer crashes FCP

    Okay, I've not seen this problem until just a couple days ago but was wondering if it was just me or if everyone has this problem? I've found a work-around, but let me explain the problem first.
    I'm creating a growing up photo montage. I scanned all of the pictures myself at 300 dpi (as I've always done in the past) and saved them as TIF files. Some pictures as relatively small, i.e. 3.5 mb is size and do just fine, but it appears anytime I drop a picture into the viewer in preparation for the the timeline, it will crash FCP if the image file is any larger than about 5 or 5.5 MB. Now I know there is a limit on the resolution of a still and it shouldn't be any larger than 4000 pixels in either direction, but that is not my problem, the problem appears to occur with large files. I've used large still files before in past projects without any problem, so this is why I'm stumped. I've went as far as trashing my preferences, but that didn't change anything. I've even tested a still image from a past project that was something around 9 MB (or was it 19 mb?) in any case, it also crashed FCP but... I've used that picture before in past projects without any problem. I even created a new test project just in case my project file itself had a problem.
    My work-around is to simply drop the still image from the browser directly into the timeline, thus bypassing the viewer. This works every time without a hitch. I can even double-click on the still now setting in the timeline to load it into the viewer so I can add effects or keyframes or whatever without any problems (thank goodness). So, has anyone else experienced this problem or is it just me?

    Is this image saved in a colorspace mode that is anything other than RGB?
    CMYK & Grayscale images will cause problems.
    Some light reading regarding your choice of 300 dpi: http://www.scantips.com/no72dpi.html
    Unless you plan on panning and zooming your images, the best procedure is to use one of the video preset templates in Photoshop and paste your content into it. Scale and position using the Transform controls. For best results save as a TIFF without compression. Don't forget, always in RGB colorspace.
