FCP Crashes when rendering long clips

When I have a 5-10 min project and want to render the whole thing my FCp will crash or stop rendering and give me an out of memory error. Is there something on Macs I need to do to get rid of this issue? Is there any type of maintenance I need to do on macs to clear make the app run better/faster?

50GB out of how much total? You should leave 15% free on that drive to maximize performance.

#44: FCP acting weird - Trash Prefs
Shane's Stock Answer #44: FCP acting weird or unusual. Just not like is normally should
If the program was working fine, and now isn't, or just isn't working the way it should, the first things to do are:
1) Trash your FCP preferences. Download the Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/trashing_fcpprefs.html
2) Open the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
3) Shut down for 10 min. Go for a quick walk around the block and get SOME exercise today. Come back, turn on the computer and see how things are.
4) (optional) Do the Hokey Pokey and turn your self about. Results may vary.

FCP Crashes when rendering or adjusting attributes of clip

For some reason Final Cut Pro 5 (latest version) crashes whenever I render a specific project. I tried doing a "save as.." and making a new fcp file, but the problem still persists in the project. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
PS: I tried FCP rescue and OnyX, with no luck.

hmm..I don't see why ram should cause Final Cut Pro to crash. When I import one of the .psd files in my project into new project if I double click on it, then FCP crashes! Here is a link to the project file:
http://salsunproductions.sitesled.com/video/ACMVIDEO/ACMPROMO4-fc3.fcp
I realize that you won't have the media files or some of the plug-ins (TMTS), but I would appreciated it if someone could see if it crashes for you. (highlight everything and under render selection check all of the colors, then hit command + r to begin rendering everything).

FCP Crashes When Rendering or Converting Project

I have FCP Studio Academic. I have finished a project that is 2 hours and 20 minutes plus. I put several sequences together that are quite lengthy. I couldn't get it to convert using converter, or quicktime, because FCP would crash in converter shortly after it began. In quicktime, it would consistently reach the 80% mark and then crash. So I went to the 115th minute, and nothing was visibly distinct that would make me think that it was a problem.
So I deleted all the preferences stuff that the website tells you to, and nothing happened. I then deleted all of the rendered stuff, so I would have to re-render everything. Lo and behold, I couldn't render the individual sequences by themselves. I can't seem to get this to work, can anyone help??

In addition to the previous post,
subdividing the sequences to render did work. However, I tried to go back to the master sequence and render it, and I got the same result: FCP crashed.
I know that I can go through and subdivide all the sequences to render them and that will work to get them rendered, but I need to convert the project into a file so that I can put it on a disk.
Any Suggestions?

FCP 4.5 crashes when importing long clips

After upgrading to a new computer (PowerMac G5 2.7 GHz), my FCP 4.5 has trouble importing DV footage from my Canon GL-1 camera. The program hangs after about 4 minutes of importing a single clip. I have seen that this issue may be related to upgrading QuickTime (using 7.3.0), but still not sure that this is the problem.
Any ideas would be welcome.
I have purchased FCS 2, so I can upgrade, but I was waiting until I complete an unfinished FCP 4.5 project. If upgrading would allow be to still read these 4.5 files and complete it that way, I would. Any ideas would be welcome.
Dean

That might be the issue. WHich is why it is never wise to upgrade a working system. The OPTIMAL system setup for FCP 4.5 is Mac OS 10.3.9 and QT 6.5...although QT 7.1.6 works just fine. When you start upgrading things beyond that, you risk things not working right. What did an upgrade to QT 7.3 get you? Nothing really.
Unfortunately to get BACK to a working version of your system, you'd need to do an Archive and install of your OS...yes, time consuming....sorry.
BUT, you can upgrade to FCS2 and continue to work on those projects. They will convert just fine. I would suggest cloning your system drive first, so you have something to fall back on. ALthough the system isn't working so...you really don't have anything to lose.

FCP crashes when i take clips offline

Using FCP 5.1.2 and AfterEffects 6
At first it would happen when i was trying to replace a clip created in AfterEffects. i'd need to make an adjustment or whatever and rather than making a new clip, i named it the same as the clip already online in FCP and told AfterEffects to replace it. When i tab back to FCP, i'd get the spinning beachball of death and FCP would stop responding.
Deciding to change my tactics, i decided i would take the clip offline in FCP FIRST and avoid the whole missing media thing. Well, when i asked FCP to take the clip offline (deleting of the disk), it got stuck in the making a video preview loop, with the bar at 100%, but never stopping. Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong here (or at least the main thing i'm doing wrong)?
Thanks,
Craig

#30 - Deck recognition after Tiger Upgrade:
Shane's Stock Answer #30:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1063600&#1063600
The credit for this goes to Bob Sidebotham:
I was just walked through a repair procedure by an Apple Care person, and it fixed my camera recognition problems (I have a Canon XL1 and sometime after installing Tiger, then 10.4.1, various patches (including Quicktime 7.1) and the latest Desktop Video patch, I've been unable to use the camera with Final Cut Express, and attempts to capture would result in a FCE crash).
The workaround is to download Quicktime manually, after removing the "receipts" which indicate that it is loaded. Specifically, I was told to do the following:
1. Navigate to Library -> Receipts on your main drive (not from your personal folder).
2. Remove all files of the form QuickTime*.pkg, where "*" is a version number. E.g. QuickTime600.pkg, QuickTime650.pkg, Quicktime700.pkg and QuickTime701.pkg. This simply tells your system that those packages are not installed.
3. Go to http://www.apple.com/quicktime/downloads and click on the "download Quicktime" link. DO NOT USE THE AUTOMATIC UPDATE UTILITY. Download QuickTimeInstallerX.dmg. Double click this file (probably on your desktop) and then invoke the installer by double clicking QuickTime701.pkg.
4. After your computer reboots, you should be able to restart FCP and see your camera.

After Effects crashes when rendering to H264

Hi,
On one of my computers, After Effects Crashes when rendering to H264. It always chrashes when doing the last frame of a clip. I think its when muxxing the m4a and the m4v together...
Does anyone have a solution? maybe there is some odd codec trash going on?
Thanks in advance!

Report
In every version of AE that has been capable of exporting h.264 the quality has been significantly lower than exporting with an app that gives you the option of multi-pass rendering. This has always been true for MPEG codecs that use inter frame (temporal) compression. You just can't get the same quality without multi pass compression. This goes back to the first use of MPEG streams.
AE CS6 may have H.264 encoding broken internally, but any pro has never used AE to render highly compressed delivery codecs because AE was never designed to be the right tool for the job.

Fcp crashed when it reaches the end of tape

When I 'capture now' HDV footage to FCP 6.0.3 using sony HDV firewire, FCP crashes when it reaches the end of the tape. Basically, I've been working around the problem by hitting 'esc' just before the end, but it sure is annoying. Anybody else? Any ideas?

Are you using Capture Now or are you logging your clips then Batch capturing?

I also happens when I try to export movies with Motion 5.
Does anyone have the same problem with my new iMac?

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it, then drag or copy it — do not type — into the Terminal window:
find . $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl $ 2> /dev/null | wc -l
Press return. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "35." Please post it in a reply.

There can be a LOT of reasons. You'll need to start investigating and eliminating variables.
Start by turning GPU acceleration off if it's turned on, and go from there.

Speed Grade Crashes when rendering

SpeedGrade crashes on me when I try to render graded footage to an h.264 file. I have tried both mts footage from the canon xh-a1 that has been converted to quicktime as well as footage straight out of the 5D Mark 2. I can grade the footage, but every time I try to render the footage I get, 100% render completion and then SpeedGrade crashes. Also no file is ever created from the output. Very Frustrating. Any thoughts on what could be the problem.
Thanks

I have been using the English version and It crashes all the same.

Thank you for sending the crash report. This is a known issue and only affects Italian builds. We have isolated this and working on a fix. Please stay tuned and use an English version of SpeedGrade in the meantime. Thanks

Why would FCP crash when i click within the effect window?

Why would FCP crash when I click within the effect window?

I have an old system, but have not had this problem before.
It is a MAC G5 tower...
FCP 5.1.4
MAC OS X version 10.4.``
Quicktime 7.6.4

FCP crashes when launched

After the update to 10.4.6 FCP crashes when i try to open it..
Its happen to me before with the previous update but I found the fix was FCP rescue..
Now however FCP RESCUE is not solving the problem tried reinstalling and also manually deleting prefs..
If anyone knows of any other fixes I would love to hear from you..

So after installing the new update 10.4.6 FCP didnt not open..Normally FCP Rescue would do the job fixing this kind of problem but not in this case..
So my solution was to delete all files in the preferences folder and it worked right away..if you do not want to go to that extreme you could always try deleting the files that has something to do with FCP...but I dont have the patients for that especially after four days without FCP..
goodluck happy times Borat rules!
