Rendering in FCP + Watching QT files online = Crashing

Whenever I am rendering in FCP (and sometimes even when I am not), if I open a Quicktime file online it causes my computer to freeze.
I know that FCP is QT too, but is there a way to avoid this...i.e. change settings, anything?
it would appear to be a problem with your installation of your web browser and its associated libraries. how long has this been happening? was there a specific application or third-party plugin that you installed recently that may have caused this? perhaps an incompatibility with an older plugin or similar that now conflicts with a recent system update.
lots of possibilities.

Imovie won't load project file after crash

Hi All,
I was almost done with an iMovie project, and while I watching the preview, iMovie crashed.
After I opened iMovie again, the project was there anymore. I can see all other projects but the project I want, the one I was working on when it crashed.
I checked the forum for similar problems but no solution worked so far. The file is in the Projects Folder, I can even see the preview a thumbnail of the project.
Here is what I tried so far:
deleting com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
deleting com.apple.iApps.plist
Moving file to a different location
Renaming the file
clicking twice on the file to open
Transfered the file to another Mac (with event files)
Deleted iMovie and reinstalled from AppStore
rebooted many times
None of this worked so far. The file is there, 13MB, but nothing seems to recognize the file into iMovie.
Mountain Lion latest version. iMovie 11 latest version.
Please help, a load of work was put into this and I need to finish the movie by Thursday.
All help appreciate it.

There are a number of others here having the same problem (including me), where the project appears in Finder in the iMovie Projects folder but is not listed in the Project Library in iMovie. The project just seems to disappear from the Library.
Here is a link to a recent topic. It includes a post by me where I've provided links to other topics regarding this issue.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/21296973?ac_cid=tw123456#21296973
You've given an excellent summary of things you've tried. I've also tried most of those, but haven't as yet reinstalled iMovie. As I have Final Cut Pro X, I also attempted to open the project file in that app with no success. FCP X crashed just after loading, after I had selected from the menu - File > Import > iMovie Project.
You can submit feedback to Apple - from iMovie's Menu select iMovie > Provide iMovie Feedback.
Sorry I can't help you solve this.

FCP 5.1 file won't open in FCP 7

Hi.
I am at my wits end...I have a FCP 5.1 file that I have been working on for years.
I had to upgrade to FCP 7 for reasons I won't go into and now my FCP 5.1 file won't open.
It is a file with footage from P2 cards. It has magic bullet/looks builder used throughout. I am not sure if that is the issue at one point ONE of the messages I got when it crashed (I got a few different ones at different times) was something about looksbuilder not working right.
In a nutshell, it slowly starts to open and then quits. (It gets to about 33 percent open over the course of 45 minutes and then crashes.)
The file is about half a gig and there is plenty of room on the MAC itself so it shouldn't be that the Mac is overtaxed.
I don't know what to do.
I tried opening various back-up copies, etc. because I thought maybe something was just corrupted. NONE of them open.
I tried deleting render files to limit how much it was trying to process when it opened the thing.
I even tried turning off the external drives that hold the media hoping that if it couldn't find the media it would just open the shell of a file for me and maybe I could reconnect it all later. Obviously, grasping at straws...
I am out of options. Do I just need to wipe my computer and reinstall 5.1 from scratch? That would stink because there is another project being worked on on the computer that is a FCP 7 file.
I tried putting a copy of FCP 5.1 back on the computer (so I have 7 and 5.1 on there now) to get it to open, but FCP 5.1 won't work either now (I get General Error 41 - whatever that means) Maybe you can't have two versions of FCP on the computer? Maybe it thinks it got opened in 7 so now it won't work in 5? even though it never fully opened? Guessing...
I'd appreciate any and all help. All I want to do is open the 5.1 file and save it in FCP 7 and work from there.
Thanks!
Shari

Hey Michael:
Thanks for the response. I did something similar in that I opened the file on another computer that had FCP 7 and it was fine. So I saved that. Then I went to my Mac and tried to open that file and it crashed...but it said something about Looksbuilder...so I contacted them and they had me uninstall, reinstall and then fix the preference files for Looksbuilder and it now opens.
YAY!
Thanks again,
Shari

I cannot watch .mov files in regular quicktime. What can I use instead?

I'm attending at online master, So I need to watch .mov files. Quicktime reproducced the audio only. I tried with other mov file but happes the same.

To watch Avaya Radvision Scopia .mov files you need
1) install QuickTime (I didn't try alternative players)
2) install plug-in from scopia.avaya.com - "Watch recording" tab bottom left corner.

File browser crashes frequently during Open/Save

My late-2011 15" MBP running Mavericks recently started exhibiting a new bug.
In many applications (Postbox, IDLE, PhotoShop CS5, Lightroom, etc) the file browser crashes almost (but not quite) every time it's used.
If I choose > File > Open and start navigating the directory tree, it crashes the application (sometimes showing a generic error message, sometimes just quitting, depending on the application). If I open a Recent document the problem doesn't occur, but if I then try to > File > Save As and navigate the directory tree, it recurs.
This doesn't happen all the time, but once it's started to occur it continues until I reboot.
I've installed a 3rd-party SSD in the primary drive bay, and the standard Apple HDD in an Optibay. But I made this change a while ago and the problem is only new. I'm also running Windows 7 via a Parallels VB (and also Bootcamp) but the problem also occurs even if I don't boot up the VM.
I can attach a crash report if that's any use. I haven't seen any similar problems reported online.
Thanks for any advice,
Steve

Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

Audio not rendering in FCP 5.0.1

I'm not able to render any audio in the Timeline. The clips are brought in as QT files (not captured). When trying to audio render as is, the audio render window quickly flashes w/no change in render status. (line at top remains red). Video renders OK, but even de-linking the audio isn't working. When attempting to Export (hoping audio will render then) I get "General Error -36" I was able to render one audio clip by de-linking ONCE, but that doesn't work either. If there was a patch/fix placed online pls advise.
Thanks!

I am also having a similar problem. While things were working fine for awhile, I tried to add a new audio track and now nothing will render. It flashes as if it will render and then disappears without anything. Ive tried exporting the project as a .mov and re-opening in a new sequence, but even there the audio is causing a need to be rendered. Ive switched music files into aiff form, and done everything else I could think of.. as well as looking on forums for hours. If you have any suggestions, that would be fantastic.
Thanks

Motion Project Rendering in FCP

I'm using FCSP 2 and trying to import a Motion project into FCP. The import works fine but it says it needs 8 hours to render a 30 second clip from motion. I know this cant be right as I have done it before without this much hassle. any help would be great...on a tight deadline.
Thanks
Ryan

After upgrading from FCS1 to 2, I too noticed the increased render times. I've done some testing, and found a solution that will cut your render times in half. In FCP, go to either the sequence settings or user preferences/RENDER CONTROL, and under RENDER QUALITY, uncheck "always use best" and set the render quality to normal. This is a new feature in FCP 6, your choices being "draft, normal, best."
From rendering the same motion file, as "normal" and as "best" the quality difference is negligible. In fact the "normal" rendered version actually looked sharper. The "best" version seemed to be smoothing edges so much that they appeared blurrier than the "normal" version.
FYI: I'm working in 720x480 DV-NTSC codec in FCP, with my motion files set to 720x480 DV as well. I'd imagine for mixed resolution rendering, especially for a motion file that is scaled in the FCP timeline or of higher rez than the timeline rez, that "best" quality would give better results.

Game Keeps Crashing - MS Online Crash Analysis Says Update Flash Player...

I downloaded Mystery Case Files - Huntsville from Real
Arcade. It crashes almost immediately.
The Microsoft Online Crash Analysis says: Solution Found -
Update Flash Player. So I went to Macromedia & first
uninstalled the old FP, following all the directions, &
downloaded & installed the new one for Firefox, which is the
browser I use. Still crashes.
Next I read everything I could find & updated my Firefox,
ActiveX, DirectX, AND the latest driver for my video card. It STILL
crashes.
Now I'm out of ideas. I am using an HP with an AMD Athlon XP
3200+, 2.19 GHz, 512 mb RAM. I have all windows updates, service
packs, whatever. I need some more ideas here please.
Just bear in mind I'm a little old lady with medium computer
knowledge, so be sure to explain well please!

It's a problem in the game itself that triggers it - there's
probably not a lot you can do.
I develop games for a website and we had a game that worked
fine with Flash player 7, but crashes intermittently on Flash 8 and
9.
After some painstaking trial and error I found it was 4 sound
effects in the game that were causing it - I changed these and now
it's fine.
I've seen other developers report similar crashes, and if
they ever found the cause it turned out to be related to sound or
video.
You should report the problem to the customer services
department of the company reponsible - if they get anywhere near as
many complaints as we got, the problem will be given top
priority.

Photoshop CS 4 says to update my drivers. Then every time I try to start a new file, it crashes. I have updated my drivers, but it is still happening.

Photoshop CS4 is telling me I need to update my graphics drivers. When I try to start a new file, it crashes. I have updated my drivers, but it is still happening. Please help as I cannot use the software at all at this point and I desperately need it. I am using a HP desk top with Windows Vista Home Premium with a NVIDIA graphics card.

See if HP has a different update. It may be proprietary, specific to your machine.

So, iDisk (great with MobileMe) is closed! Ok. I got the most expensive iCloud Plan and LOVED storing files online. Is that REALLY OVER??!! (besides Numbers', Pages', and Keynote's docs sync).. Will I REALLY have to downgrade to "free" on iCloud?!!

So, iDisk (great with MobileMe) is closed! Ok. I got the most expensive iCloud Plan and LOVED storing files online. Is that REALLY OVER??!! (besides Numbers', Pages', and Keynote's docs sync).. Will I REALLY have to downgrade to "free" on iCloud and PAY for "DropBox", "Google Drive" or "Microsft's Sky Whatever.."?!!
I could not log in to this Support Community with my UPDATED Apple ID (and this is another issue I can't believe Apple just says "NO, you CAN'T!" - deleting other (old) Apple IDs we've created by mistake or a long time ago and being able to have it all on ONE SINGLE UPDATED Apple ID - ALSO saving Apple's storage servers, etc.).
Anyway, my Apple ID for better communication is [email protected] (but I really couldn't log in here - it kept saying that the e-mail is already registered, etc. I know it, I'm trying to use it here, that's all...
So, really. Of course a lot of people don't care about the iDisk issue. That's fine, we all love and hate specific apps or software.. But why has Apple just shut it down, since it was so EASY to use (as DropBox) on all our Apple devices?!! So, we really can't upload/store any kind of files anymore and that's it?!
I used iDisk when MobileMe was still alive, and it was great to have my files from work, home, any backup (whatever we want) uploaded and synced and used in our Macs, iPhones and iPads. If we have the OPTION of an iCloud Plan (the top one, for example), but we just don't like the automatick backups for the iPhones and iPads, nor the Pictures' sync function.. Why can't we just have the SAME simple and efficient/great service of the iDisk installed in each device?!
Do we really have to go back and downgrade back to the free iCloud Option (just for keeping the e-mail) and paying extra for DropBox, Google, Microsoft, any other services?! I have nothing against them - I actually have DropBox and it works great because it REMINDS me of iDisk!! But WHY NOT just keep it simple and closed with 1 company/platform/option - Apple's iOS, OSX, etc.
That's why I decided to have a Macbook Pro, an iPhone 4S and an iPad 3rd. Generation (for example, along with other products and services such as Apple TV).. I know I'm CHOOSING to stay with 1 world, that's fine. And that's why I didn't (yet) go for a Samsung phone or another tablet.. I wanna stick with 1 pattern and I have chosen Apple's..
Just can't understand such an innovative company make such decisions (such as shutting down iDisk or not letting us just DELETE Apple IDs we do NOT use anymore).. Please, just some guidance or confirmation if that's correct: No way of uploading files others than Numbers', Pages' or Keynote's!!??
Thank you very much!!
Peace.

Thank you Roger.
That's exactly what I was afraid of...
During all the time I have been a loyal customer of Apple's products and services, these have been the only 2 issues that I really can't understand (specially when we look at Apple's strategies and management)...
1) Not being able to DELETE (simply delete or deactivate) old or duplicated Apple IDs... I have 3 different Apple IDs but only one is the real Apple ID I use for everything, with all my purchases and services (such as e-mail) related to it (Why won't Apple jus let people delet, deactivate or - at least - merge Apple IDs?! That would help everyone, including Apple when we think about costs, storage, database maintenance, etc.) - Actually, even when I gave up on trying to delete other Apple IDs, I tried to have the one I really use and have organized to use my @me.com address as the Apple ID itself (as Apple asks us to do - and makes sense, of course). But never worked. Just because I created that Apple ID with a @hotmail.com account (since it asks for a valid e-mail when you create an Apple ID, it NEVER lets me now change my Apple ID to my @me.com e-mail address - I mean JUST having my @me.com e-mail address as my primary e-mail and my Apple ID (for example, having that old @hotmail.com e-mail address out of it, cleaned..)!
2) The other issue was this one, about iDisk. Of course there must be reasons for having it shut down, maybe the apps used by iPhone and iPad, along with the folder on Mac OSX, is way too complicated, expensive, full of bugs, I don't know. But if we decide to pay for 50GB of online storage, why even THINK about different options for files we use?! I have Dropbox, I've read about Google Drive and Microsoft SkyDrive, etc. But I just wanted to STICK with a single ALL-APPLE solution.. That is.. Pay the annual fee for the 50GB and just still keep any file I want on the cloud with iDisk. So, what Apple tells me is that if I have other files than iWork or PDF (and some few exceptions), I should actually downgrade to "free" iCloud and decide to PAY for another solution (organization), such as DropBox, Google Disk or Drive (I don't really know), Micrsoft's SkyDrive..
Of course there's the strategy of getting more and more people to use Pages, Numbers and Keynote (buying them for iOS and Mac OSX, as I already have and love them). But "killing" iDisk and just telling users to look for other storage solutions doesn't really sound like Apple.
I have seen so many questions here about both issues (deleting or merging Apple IDS + iDisk back since we pay for storage) that I really believe Apple should reconsider these issues or, at least, open the issue and let us know what would be the best "partner solution" for iCloud...
Thanks a lot!
All the best...

Rendering error while writing to file...Quicktime

Hi all,
I am brand new here and have an urgent question. I have been getting an error in After Effects CS6 whenever I try to render to a quicktime movie that says "Rendering error while writing to file...An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted."

Gnome 3 log file viewer crashes on file open

Hi everyone,
I'm experiencing an annoying issue in which the system log file viewer crashes when I load certain log files. For example, if I go to file>open>crond.log, the viewer will crash. The same occurs with errors.log, kernel.log, pm-suspend.log, and others on a somewhat inconsistent basis. When I relaunch the program, crond.log (or any of the other files in question) is open and can be viewed without a problem.
After I initially set up the system, I ran into permissions problems when trying to open a number of log files. I added my user to the "log" group and then had to manually chmod the /var/log/ directory to resolve those issues. The crash seems to occur on the log files that were originally restricted. It does appear that some of the log files are still in the "root" group as opposed to the "log" group.
I'm running Arch 64-bit with Gnome 3.0 (native install, not upgrade). Has anyone else experienced this problem? I'm somewhat of a novice with permissions so perhaps that's to blame. Still, it doesn't seem like the viewer should crash but then be able to open the file.
