spinning pinwheel while in fce

my hardrive recently crashed... while fixing that i also upgraded to Leopard 10.5 OS. I am producing a video in fce and without warning i get the color pinwheel and the only way i get it to stop is to do a force shut down. I am collecting footage from a sony hd video camera. Since I installed fce myself I am wondering if my settings are correct as to why this is happening when it didn't before my hardrive crashed. Could that be it or is it possibly something else??

How did you install the application, from the original disc?
Please give your full system specifications, what computer, what drives, what camera or deck, how everything's connected, what settings are on the media, what settings you're using in Final Cut, and finally what version of the software, of the OS, and of QuickTime you are using.

After you installed Leopard, did you install FCE from the disc? You have to do that. You cannot install the application by migrating or copying it. If you didn't you should do a complete uninstall and then reinstall from the disc.
The other thing you might want to look at is the external FW drive. Try daisy-chaining the camera through the drive, connect the camera to the drive and then the drive to the computer.

Connect the camera to the hard drive and the hard drive to the computer so the camera pass through the hard drive and is not connected directly to the computer.

You should go to the Final Cut Pro forum. This is Express.
