FCP keeps freezing, when performing color correction on new macbook pro

I'm trying to do some color correction on a couple of videos. No problems doing this, until I try to render them: sometimes it'll do the job just fine, but more than often it just gets stuck about halfway through rendering, and everything freezes up. I tried using a seperate hard drive instead of the standard hard drive in my macbook pro, but this did not seem to help things.. Any other advice?

Motion JPEG?
Not really a good editing codec.
Convert your MPEG 2 to Quicktime using at least the DV codec or one of the others as found in the Easy Setups menu.

  • When should I purchase a new Macbook Pro?

    I bought my current regular Macbook in March 2008.
    The current specs on it is follows:
    2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    80GB Storage (32 GB free currently)
    The only problems I have with it: I have a small crack on the side where the apple logo is. I covered it up, no other issues with it. Also, I have had issues with the spinning wheel when I run Safari, but I now just use Google Chrome and no issues! I run Onyx about once a week to get it cleaned and verify/repair permissions.
    It still runs fine. Not as fast as when I first got it, probably because I only have about 32GB of storage left. I am just wondering when I should purchase a Macbook Pro? I am not too familiar with my current Macbook life expectancy.
    Thank you!
    p.s. My Applecare warranty has been up for 2 months

    That is entirely dependent on your usage and needs. Friends who only use their laptops for email, Web, etc. are known to keep their Mac laptops for up to seven years, because you don't need much performance to do those things.
    I use mine for graphics, so after a few years it can't keep up with the newest application upgrades. Therefore I replace mine sooner. But I still tend to keep mine for 3 to 5 years. My current MacBook Pro is the same age as yours. It is in excellent shape, and for my purposes the speed is still very good, so I will not spend money on a new MacBook Pro now. I installed a bigger faster hard drive (only $70), upgraded the RAM a while ago, and bought a new battery, because I think this machine still has another 1 to 2 years left in it.
    On the other hand, if your job depended on the fast processing of HD video or raw photo files, you should upgrade to a Core i7 MacBook Pro right now. For those jobs, a new Mac might not last 2 years.

  • Netflix website won't load correctly on new Macbook pro.

    The Netflix WEBSITE isn't loading correctly on my new macbook pro. The < > arrows used to scroll through movies on the homepage don't seem to be working. When you click/hover over them nothing happens. Also, the title and description box that usually appears when you hover your mouse over a movie isn't showing up either...and lastly the box where you can filter the movies you want to see in a specific category "Ex. "Dark comedies, Romantic comedies, Foregin Comedies etc.." isn't showing up.
    Im assuming this is an issue with either safari or the macbook itself because I don't know what else it could be. I tried clearing all cookies,
    cache, and history but it didn't help. The movies are streaming fine it's just the website that messed up. All other websites seem to be working fine though.

    Probably a Java issue.  Try another browser and also try loading Java from www.java.com.  BTW, the current version won't run properly in Safari, so you'll probably end up running FireFox anyway.

  • Office for mac 2011 not working correctly on new Macbook Pro- Help

    I have a MacBook Pro from September and had One to One transfer all files/programs (including 2008 Office).  I then purchased the Office for Mac 2011 program and they installed it (I guess they did not remove the older program).  It has never worked correctly and I have tried to contact Microsoft to no avail.
    None of the documents open with Fonts intact (Word and Excel open up blank though the graphic elements show up.  I have to Select All and choose a font to make it show up. 
    Powerpoint is barely functional (none of the layouts actually show up when I select them, the sidebar of slides does not update as I type or try to change themese, etc.  And then when I type, the program freezes and then shuts down.
    I have uninstalled 2008 and 2011 and then re-installed 2011 but the same issues occur.  Someone on the microsoft community told me to remove my duplicate fonts, I ddi that and the same issues still occur. My brother has the same laptop and Office for Mac 2011 and no issues.
    Can someone help me basically try to start fresh- should I uninstall again? (I waas told that installing/uninstalling too many times can further the problem).
    Help!
    Thanks,
    Bernice

  • I cannot get my HP 6600 to print in color from my new macbook pro.

    Does anyone know how to help me get my Macbook Pro to print to my HP Officejet 6600 in color?  I am new to MAC computers and am sure it's just a setting I need to change.  I know it is not a printer problem as it prints color from the same webpage from my PC desktop.  Thanks.

    bamajim,
    Here is a link to a page for your printer that may help with your issue.
    The document provides steps to troubleshoot printouts that do not match the screen while printing from the web.
    Does this also happen when printing graphics from somewhere other than the web ?
    Once you give these steps a try let us know what happens.
    If I helped you at all it would be great if you clicked the blue kudos star!
    If I solved your post please mark it as solved to help others.

  • When to first charge a new macbook pro retina

    just bought a brand new 13 inch macbook pro- when should I charge it?  After I let the initial charge from the package run out or before hand?

    carmurph wrote:

    That is calibration. New Macs don't need that.
    Don't let charge level go below 20%
    First time, let it charge it fully.
    Keep the computer plugged in whenever possible.
    If you keep the computer always plugged in, make sure that  at least twice a month
    run it on battery until battery level drops to about 50-40%.

  • AFP Freeze and Cisco VPN Client w/ new Macbook Pro

    I have an Intel Core Duo Macbook Pro with all software updates installed and running Cisco VPN client v4.9.01 (0030). If I try to connect to one of my clients via VPN and then connect to one of the server shares, afp basically freezes. I have added a snip of the log below. BUT - I take the same laptop onsite and try to connect to the same server, it works like a champ. I have tried the VPN connection from multiple source points (ie, different ISPs and routers/firewalls) and wired and wireless and all result in the same. I am frustrated and running out of options. Note that the same problem occurred with the previous Cisco VPN client and I thought the newer version would fix it - id didn't. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi Bill,
    Do you have any comparison data on services that DO work? I don't connect remotely to any Apple services so can't vouch for AFP always working, but have no issues with RDP services for Windows servers. Running 4.9.00 (0050). I have however just quickly VPN'd to a client and successfully opened an AFP share and browsed around over VPN - didn't even hesitate in establishing the connection.
    When you mention taking the machine onsite i am assuming that you directly access the AFP shares and not via VPN, hence confirming that the VPN software is potentially the issue?
    Are you running IPSEC over UDP or TCP? My transport is over UDP.
    Good luck,
    Justin

  • Why can't my iPod touch add apps when using it with my new macbook pro?

    I've had my iPod touch (4G 64GB) since christmas 2010. I was syncing my ipod with a windows vista dell desktop. I bought a Macbook Pro 15" for college about two weeks ago. When I plug my iPod into my macbook it will manually add music but I tried adding a couple apps and it did nothing. Also on the iPod summary screen if I go to apps I can see my app layout but i can't move the apps and they are semi-see through. HELP ME!!!!!

    Something happened and yo have to restore via iTunes. Backup to iTunes if yo can and then restore from that backup
    All old devices can sync with the newest iTunes

  • FCP keeps freezing when I go back and forth from other applications

    OK, so first when I called in to procare they narrowed it down to possibly being a corrupt file because I share this editing station and user desktop with another editor, he doesn't have the same problems, and we reinstalled the Operating system and FCP studio to make sure. My project has alot more scripted photoshop sequences, nested sequences and more Motion projects than his too, so they suggested that I copy and paste all of my sequences and bins from the frozen project into a brand new one, and cut out some of the old unused sequences. So I did and it did help things a little bit but still. even when I just go from safari and back to FCP I still get the spinning ball, and it still takes about a minute or so for the spinning ball to stop if I make changes to just a simple title in Motion that is also up in FCP. I'm afraid if I add any more graphics to this newly copied project it may start freezing like the other one did. Any suggestions on how to speed things up, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks, jen

    Old comedians joke: Doc it hurts when I move my arm like this...then don't move your arm like that
    Okay now that I have that off my chest, there are a number of things we could all look at to trouble shoot this problem. No doubt others will chime in, but my first thought is to look at how big your photoshop files might be. Check out this link:
    http://www.dc.umich.edu/groundworks/Docs/video/importStillsFCPiMovie.pdf
    You also noted you have a lot of nested sequences. Maybe you could export those nested sequences as QT movies to free up some memory. Also are all your sequences open at the same time? This eats up memory as well.
    Just a couple of areas to get you started.

  • Imovie keeps freezing when trying to send to final cut pro

    I have both iMovie and final cut updated but I can't seem to send projects from iMovie to final cut. Can anyone help me? Thanks!

  • A freeze during software update killed brand new Macbook Pro?

    I have only had this computer for about 2.5-3 weeks, and it came with Lion. I was installing the recommended software update (attached to power like recommended), and the update froze about 10% from being finished (the bar did not move for 20 minutes). I pushed the power button to restart it, but ever since then, it won't restart; it only will show the Apple screen, and then I hear the hard drive shut down while the circle is still spinning. I tried booting it up holding down cmd-S, to see what the text would say, and it tells me that the bootstrapper has crashed. I am able to get to the recovery pane by booting with cmd-R, which is how I am on the internet, but I can't access my hard drive at all.
    I did just do a time machine backup yesterday, but I have installed the entire Adobe Master Collection since then (which took FOREVER), and I was at school all day doing work, so I have quite a bit of important stuff I'd rather not lose if I can help it.
    Any suggestions? I think this computer is possessed...I have had so many problems with it since Day 1.

    You do know that Apple has a 14 day No Questions Asked return policy?
    So you should of taken it back when you have the first problems. Now you are past that date but you still may be able to return it for a replacement that actually works as it should. The only way to tell is to take it back to where you bought it and explain all the problems you have had, including that it will not boot after doing this latest update, and ask for an exchange for a new unit that will work correctly.
    Good Luck.

  • Kernal Panics when booting Install DVD on new MacBook Pro

    First off, let me say that I know that Apple does not officially support OS X Server on their portable machines.
    With that out of the way, I have been trying to install Server (the Universal Edition, of course) on the new Santa Rosa MBP that I got last weekend. The Installer DVD will kernal panic when trying to start up the machine. So I took it to my job, where we have a Mac Mini with a Core Solo processor. The Install DVD for 10.4 server boots the mini up just fine. So I put the MBP into target disk mode, and installed server on a partion I had made on the internet MBP disk when I first got it. So the installer has 10.4.7 on it, which I thought might be causing the problem. So with the Mini booted off the MBP partion, I updated the Server install to 10.4.10 and all the other updates. I then restarted the MBP, held down the option key, selected the server partion to boot up from, and the machine still kernal paniced while still booting up (It never gets past the gray Apple Screen with the spinning wheel.
    Now I had hoped that the firmware update released today might help with the problem, but when I try to run that installer, it says that the firmware is not needed on my laptop. So I guess they had already installed it at the factory, even though it was not yet publicly availible.
    I have looked at the kernal panic logs on the non server version of 10.4 that the machine boots after the kernal panic (when I boot back into server, using the Mini as the boot machine, there is no kernal panic logs), and I have always found the same thing, it looks like something to do with the video driver is causng the problem. The first item that is always in the backtrace is:
    com.apple.NVDAResman(4.5.6)@0x500c4000
    So I guess I am just wondering if anyone else out there, with a new SR MBP, has has similar problems trying to run server on their new machines?

    The method you must use is outlined here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302960
    Best of luck.

  • My superdrive makes a loud noise when i start up my new macbook pro 15" that i just got about a month ago, is there any way how to fix it or should i take it in to an apple store

    Just got a brand new macbook pro, and eve since I first started it up it has made this weird noise right before the start up audio. i have done some research and i have found out that there are two superdrives that apple puts into their macbooks and that one is louder then the other, but this was back in 2009. should apple have fixed that through out all these years. what should i do?

    Yes, it makes this noise, but only on startup.  It is normal to hear this noise during startup.  My mac is an early 2011 model.

  • My iPhone keeps freezing when I am streaming videos.  It never used to do that. How do I fix this.

    My iPhone keeps freezing when I am streaming videos. How do I fix this.

    Hello Jennings Castle,
    It seems your iPhone is slowing down and not responding frequently. To rectify this issue you may want to consider performing a restore on the device, and then restoring your data from a backup via iCloud or iTunes. 
    If the issue persists after restoring your backup, you would then want to consider restoring the device and setting it up as new. Below I have linked to article which offers guidance on both of these restore methods:
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups - Apple Support
