Major FCP Glitching Render Problem - Any Ideas?

Hey folks, I'm running into massive render glitches with FCP. Here's what happens:
In a scene with a lot of fast cutting, and dupe frames, it all plays fine in realtime. However, once I render the footage, or make a self contained QuickTime, these areas lock up and get exported as freeze frames. These freeze frames are of the last frame of the previous clip before the cut. They stay on through the length of the next clip, and when FCP reaches the cut after that, it then plays fine again. It's very bizarre. It's almost like FCP can't keep up with accessing the media, and just skips the clip. I don't know why it would do that though, because it all plays as smooth as butter in realtime preview.
The only correlation that I've found is that there are dupe frames present in the areas where this is happening.
I've tried relocating my render drive to another disk drive... Deleting FCP preferences... Deleting render files... Pulling my Kona card... Nothing seems to fix the issue.
There's also another issue, which might be related. Whenever I try to apply certain filters, I get the following message, where EFFECT NAME is the name of a good number of effects:
"The effect 'EFFECT NAME' failed to render. Your hardware cannot render at the requested size and depth."
OR
"The effect 'EFFECT NAME' cannot be rendered in a sequence of this size with the current graphics card."
So, are these issues because I have the stock ATI Radeon 2600?
Here's my rig:
Sequence / Codec:
Apple ProRes 422 (normal) 1920x1080 23.98 psf
Mac:
FCP 6.0.3
OS X 10.5.2
2 x 3.2 GHz Quad-Core
8 GB 800 MHz Ram
ATI Radeon HD 2600
Kona 3 card with 5.1 drivers (latest)
Media Storage / Render Drive:
8TB Raid 5 ESATA storage
HighPoint ESATA controller card
ATI Radeon HD 2600:
Name: ATY,Lamna
Type: display
Driver Installed: Yes
Bus: PCI
Slot: Slot-1
Vendor ID: 0x1002
Device ID: 0x9588
Subsystem Vendor ID: 0x106b
Subsystem ID: 0x00a6
Revision ID: 0x0000
Link Width: x16
Any help or insight here would be extremely helpful!
Thank you in advance,
Blake

Tried that, no dice. The media is fine. It plays without a hitch when it doesn't need to be rendered, or if it's rendered with non problematic filters on it.
After fiddling with the freeze frame render glitch issue some more, it appears to be directly associated with "Basic Motion" changes.
I can stack tons of filters, and it doesn't happen. As soon as I move the shot around with "Basic Motion", it locks up the clip in the render, and creates a freeze frame.
Perhaps this is linked to the graphics card errors I am getting?

Try this from MacFixIt as well:
In the case of drive directory damage or problems with permissions, the solution is usually to use Apple's Disk Utility to repair the disk. Of course, you won't be able to perform this operation normally (simply launching the Disk Utility application, located in Applications/Utilities, and initiating a disk repair) if your system will not startup. So two options exist:
* Insert your Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger) media (DVD or CD) and restart the computer while holding down the "C" key. Once the computer has booted from the installation disc, select "Utilities" from the menubar and open Disk Utility. Repair the disk, then quit Disk Utility and restart your system.
* Alternatively, you can repair the disk while booted in single user mode if you do not have access to a retail Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger) DVD/CD. To startup in single user mode, hold down the "Command" and "S" keys simultaneously at startup. Once properly booted, type the command fsck at the prompt. Repeat these process until no errors appear.

Since you don't say what the "formatting problems" are, all we can say is:

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. (is this what you meant by charger?)
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

FCP HD Render problems... lots of random crashing... help!!

I'm using FCP to edit 8-bit uncompressed HD. Kona 3 card, Quad G5, 8.5Gbs RAM, Sonnet Tempo SATA card hooked up to two 8 bay raid towers totaling a little over 7TBs... RAID 0. OS X (10.4.7), FCP 5.1.1. The towers have 8 Seagate 500GB drives each... all run through port multiplier into four inputs on the Tempo SATA card (very fast, by the way).
I have changed computers, Kona 3 cards, memory, reloaded software, trashed prefs, rebuilt permissions, etc. Problem persist. I guess we've narrowed it down to the RAID, the Sonnet card or the software. I can't do anything about the software... and changing the storage would be VERY expensive. Any ideas or experience with this??
Is anyone successfully using a big SATA RAID w/ the Sonnet card?? I'm about to take a sledge hammer to this computer! Is anyone using an XRAID and NOT having problems with 8 or 10-bit uncompressed HD???
Please help!!

Suggest you search for that specific camera model, might find some helpful suggestions from experienced users.
What format of "HD" are you shooting? There are about 50 different versions. If it's HDV, there is a huge volume of traffic to read through. A solution will depend largely on your machine's ability to decompress and build the i-frames on the fly.

5th Gen Ipod Touch not recognised 2 windows pcs and my mac mini, Itune up to date, tried DFU and recovery, returned from apple inspection as working, still no joy, anyone elese had this problem, any ideas?

Since we had the ipod touch since xmas we have had slight problems with charging and connecting to itunes, i sent back to Apple to repair/inspect, they have returned it back as working fine, tried 2 different windows pcs, my mac mini and cannot get the ipod to connect, Windows tries installing drivers only to say it has failed, uninstall try again, go into recovery mode and dfu, nothing seems to work. I have 2 ipads an iphone 4s which all connect faultlessly. Any ideas?

Have you tried another cable? Some iPods were shipped with cable that either did no work initially or shortly failed.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Bring the cable too.

Hard Disk Problems - Any ideas anyone??

I recently replaced my ibook's HD with a new one, every thing has been fine until just recently. Mysteriously on my control click menus and other pop up windows like save and open, all system text has turned into code. use the following url for an example http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/whatapileof/menu.jpg . The text is now N21 and things like that. Any ideas? When i tried to do a HD repair in disc utility, the permissions are fine but when i repair the disc it fails each time. I have tried to reinstall the OS but that also fails. I am guessing that the menu text and this repair issue are hand-in-hand. Only thing i can think of is doing a re-format. There’s no other issues that i can spot and the problem is bearable. Im used to doing reformats with windows. never thought i would have to with OSX though. Any ideas how to avoid?? Cheers.

How did you install your OS onto the new hard drive? Did you do a clean install or did you use one of those disk cloning utilities?
Have you tried creating a new user and seeing if that new user also has this problem? If you restored your Library folder from an old OS installation, it could have corrupted some Finder preference.
If all else fails, do is re-format and re-install from scratch.
I have never seen this before. See if a new user has the same problem. If that doesn't help, since it is bearable, wait a few days and see if someone else reponds to this message and knows a quick fix. If that doesn't happen re-format and re-install.

HT4641 I will no longer use pages because I can open any rtf's and that is the majority of my files. Any ideas?

I will no longer use Pages because I can't open any rtf's and that is the majority of my files. For years I have saved all files as rtf to allow me to open them on windows and with any word process program. Now the new version of Pages will not open them. Any ideas?

You can let Apple know you want this feature back via

and find another word processor.
Are you talking about a Mac or an iPad/iPhone?

For the last month or so I have been having issues with Firefox crashing whenever I click on anything to do with Facebook. Also, since I downloaded Firefox I have been having major issues with Adobe . Any ideas??

I try to click on the games or other users names or anything that opens another link and it crashes. This has been happening off and on for about a month but has gotten regular in the last 4 or 5 days. Anybody have any ideas?? Also, it seems that Firefox has affected Adobe. I am having lots of issues in the last few weeks but when I use Windows I'm OK????

i have the same problem with the above..firefox is running too slow with the games in facebook..but it runs good when browsing my updates, msgs, photos...firefox is totally opposite of IE..IE is faster with the games and slow while browsing..i love to use mozila but when i do games it really pisses me off...hope you could help me..

Iphoto export problem any ideas???

I cannot export photos before a certain date. I have about two years worth in my iphoto and after a certain date I can export. I don't know what is different between the photos. I tried command option while launching iphoto and none of those options corrected them with the exception of two photos. I didn't find anything listed in the type of file except jpg's...no png's as some people have found. And it is strange because after July of 2012 everything exports fine. I don't get it does anyone have any ideas? I would logically think a problem would not resolve itself and be ok after a date with any recently photos able to export and older ones unable to.I haven't added any programs and if I did I would think they would have created the problem not solved it....I want to be able to export my old photos...I have spent quite a bit of time on it...any help would be great. OH and another problem I am out of state and my start up disk is back home in MI and I am in CA

Take a look at theis thread in the iPhoto forum https://discussions.apple.com/message/21143278#21143278
If this doesn't help you might post your question over in the iPhoto forum.

Bizarre App "de-selection" Problem - Any idea?

Ok... This is strange enough that I am at a total loss. This literally just started happening this morning for no apparent reason. Basically what's going on is that when I am in an app, like safari or pages, or anything, after about 30 seconds of using the current window everything up top will grey out and the cursor will disappear as if I am switching to another app or something. I have to replace my cursor and continue typing (like I've had to do 3 times up to this point right here). There is nothing else open to be switched to so it really doesn't make any sense... Does anyone have any idea what might be happening? Need any more information? Thank you.

Reformatted... Re-installed OSX SL... Just restored backed up files individually, carefully checking permissions. Problem solved. Works fine. Seems to be the only solution.

Funny problem - any ideas ?

Hi Folks,
I'm seeing a funny issue and running out of ideas, any help would be appreciated.
Here is a pl/sql block :
declare
ctr number := 0;
ctr1 number := 0;
begin
insert into TableT ( x, y, z)
select <3 columns> from table1, table2, table3, table4, table5
where <join conditions for tables 1 thru 5> ;
-- this inserts 67xxx records. This number varies randomly during runs, no two runs return the same number e.g 67258, 67120, 67118 etc
for rec in (
select <3 columns> from table1, table2, table3, table4, table5
where <join conditions for tables 1 thru 5> ) loop
ctr := ctr+1;
end loop;
dbms_output.put_line(ctr); -- shows the right number that should be returned by the select query i.e. 67105 EVERY time its run
select count(*) into ctr1 from table1, table2, table3, table4, table5
where <join conditions for tables 1 thru 5>
dbms_output.put_line(ctr1); -- shows the right number that should be returned by the select query i.e. 67105 EVERY time its run
end;
/The query in the for loop is an exact cut-paste job from the query in the insert.
Theres nothing special about tableT its just a straight create table with NO clauses other than column definitions all of which are number,varchar2(20) and date specified at creation time, no constraints, no triggers. DB is 11.1.0.7 if thats relevant.
I've racked my brains, cant think of a reason for this. Any ideas ?
TIA !!!!

Hi Hoek,
Thanks for your reply, I cant really demonstrate the problem with test data since if I create new test tables and sample data, the problem does not show up.
I'm really looking for suggestions of areas to look into, I understand you can't point out the actual problem with what I've posted.
NormHi Norm,
Too bad you cannot reproduce the problem. It raises more questions and guesses/speculations which is the opposite of what you're looking for.
Are you getting the problem in an 'isolated environment' (are you the only one doing DML, is this a test database or...)?
How did you determine the number of rows inserted through your SQL approach (INSERT...SELECT)? SQL%ROWCOUNT?
Any triggers on table1..5?
Your example seems to be narrowed down a bit too much, expecially since you cannot reproduce when you try to recreate the problem.
