Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
FC keeps crashing. I have made as a movie in Motion and imported. This works but I loose my workflow function obviously.
2.8Ghz core i7, 8gig iMac OS 10.6.7
MacBook Pro's, Mac OS X (10.5.5), Power PC G5, iMac quad core
It may be a memory issue -
When I've been unable to render a large Motion project in FCP, I developed 2 workarounds.
1. Render in sections. Mark in/out on a small section of the Motion project in your FCP timeline. Opt-A to select in->out,. Render selection. Save. Mark in/out on next section. Rinse, repeat...
2. Render a movie out of Motion. Cut it over the Motion project in your timeline. That way when you need to make changes, you still have your motion project in your timeline, you can ctrl/right-click on it and Open in Editor... then render it out again and replace the rendered movie in your timeline.
make sense?
You could post your crash log and we might make guesses about other options.

Thanks Patrick.
Yes it does make sense I guess I just expect more from the program. Really appreciate your help.
I am having weird memory messages lately and I have also had issues sending to soundtrack as well.
Cheers
BTW, when I said "Cut it over the Motion project...", I meant to cut it on a video track above the Motion project, so you might have your Motion project on V1, and you'd cut the movie rendered out of Motion onto V2.
Sorry if I was confusing,
Patrick
Thanks again Patrick.
I got your drift with that.
Any idea why I get a general error warning when trying to send to SoundTrack Pro?
Cheers
Cannot render a large Motion File in Final Cut.
