Crash in FCP 7: viewing odd framed images & graphics

PostThu Aug 08, 2013 3:37 pm

Using Ultrastudio Express (Desktop video 9.7.7) with Final Cut Pro 7. Whenever an odd frame image is loaded into the Viewer FCP crashes. Starting a project that is a mix of odd-framed still images and this will be an issue when previewing source material in monitors during edit.

Example: I have a 1080i HD project set up in FCP. And I import two TIF photos. One still is 2000 x 1500 (landscape) and it seems to perform fine. However, the second image is 1500 x 2000 (portrait: 1500 wide, 2000 high). The second image, when opened in Viewer, creates an immediate FCP crash.

"Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly while using the Blackmagic Codec plug-in."

However, that same odd sized image (1500 x 2000) when cut into the sequence, plays fine. It's only if I open in Viewer that a crash occurs.

Had the same issue with a small sized graphic file. I resized it in Photoshop to 1920 x 1080 and all was fine.

Can anyone shed some light on either the FCP 7 issue?

I know FCP 7 is dated, But we will be upgrading to Premiere Pro CC. Is this same issue in Premiere, issues when Previewing non-standard frame sized media? I imagine things will work well once that media is cut into a standard timeline or sequence, but what happens when Previewing the native source material?

Thanks

I have the very simillar problem in FCP 7

It crashes very often when playhead gone from video/grafics to black hole on the timeline.
If fcp not crashes it start to show flashing green screen or flashing parts of video on the video out.
There are sample videos (shot on mobile):
