- - FCP Crashing! (https://www.dvinfo.net/forum/final-cut-suite/113311-fcp-crashing.html)

Heya guys,
So i'll post my specs first
FCP 5.0
Power Mac G5 dual 2.0 GHz
3.5GB ram

when i try exporting my movie FCP will crash. even if it's just a 3 second clip, at around 30% done... crashes. it's never done this before! gah!!!

Maybe you're another QT 7.4 victim? See my earlier post, nobody responded.

I was experiencing the same, with 5.1.4. I suspect QT 7.4 or OS X 10.4.11, though I don't find a lot of references about such problems on the internet.

So last week, I reinstalled OS X, but left QT to version 7.2. Lower is not possible, since I would lose Ilife 8. Now the problems got partly solved - QT's export again, and I'm even capable of doing PAL conversion with compressor 2,3.

However, I'm still not able to generate M2T files, as I did only a few weeks ago.

Somewhere the muxing seems to be the problem, straight M2V's (without multiplex audio) don't crash.

I think Apple wants us to upgrade to Leopard and FCP 6,0. Have they been looking at Microsoft?

wow....
downgrading back to QT 7.2 worked perfectly! not only does it not crash but it also removed that ugly green background!!

Quicktime Downgrade

Hi,

I'm having same Quicktime issues....could you tell me what the process is for "downgrading" to 7.2?

Thanks!
