![]() ![]() Perhaps the FAT format of the LaCie drive has something to do with the problem. It seems like the sensible first step in the process of elimination as to why I'm getting error code 36 when I try to copy my library - is to try copy to an SSD drive in the correct format instead of my LaCie drive. I've tried so hard to set myself up with a new laptop and a few external drives and I'm quite frustrated to find myself having stalling problems, after all that investment and trying to get it right. I have a Simon Says plugin that I can not figure out how to uninstall. is that a normal speed? Maybe I need to buy a solid state drive from sandisk or the like. (This is where I've backed up my original footage)So it looks like that would need to be reformatted to the MacOs Extended Journaled.īut I'm just wondering if it's even worth copying there, if I did somehow get the error code sorted as it is: The WD Passport drive I'm working off is MacOS Extended Journaledīut I checked the drive I would copy to if I could, a La Cie 5TB USB-C drive and the format is FAT. Have to use an adapter for my WD Passport drive, as it's old USB and my laptop is newer. I was told it could just be one corrupted file, but anyway it was beyond my ability to figure out. I tried to resolve this error code before, but failed - so I continued to work off the drive. If I could just copy the Library off the drive, I think that would solve my problems. But every time I do, I get an error 36 code. * I would just copy and past my 1TB Library to another drive. I think the drive is the real problem, its been very slow at various times. Thank-you I tested I/O performance using that link and the drive I'm working from - a WD Passport 2TB is: Do normal editing operations and see if that hangs. Then in the test library duplicate the project, open the duplicate, select all clips in the timeline with CMD+A then remove all effects with Edit>Remove Effects. To examine if 3rd-party plugins or effects are causing the problem, you can create a test library and copy your main project timeline to that library. For this reason if you have over (say) 30 or 40 projects in an event it can slow down. FCP therefore tries to balance resources needed to maintain all the databases open vs delays to open a closed database. Anytime you go forward and backward in the timeline history all recent projects must be open or it will cause a delay. ![]() E.g, anytime you do a library-wide search it must have all the event databases open. FCP tries to maintain a certain number in an open state. Each one consumes additional resources if open. Each project, snapshot and duplicate and each event requires another SQLite database within the library. Do not use ExFAT, NTFS or any other disk format. Make sure all external drives are formatted with MacOS Extended Journaled or APFS. For troubleshooting purposes, do not use any external USB hubs or external monitors. Test your disk I/O performance on each drive using Blackmagic Disk Speed Test: /us/app/blackmagic-disk-sp.st/id425264550?mt=12 Reset FCP preferences (item 11 on this page): /en-us/HT203477 Make sure all your plugins are up to date and de-install any you don't regularly use. Third-party plugins are a common source of problems. Using proxies mostly eliminates concerns over source codecs. Could these be causing the issue?.įCP should not repeatedly hang on a beach ball. I have created a lot of snapshots of my project.I also have several events of earlier stages of the edit, with project versions in there too. I just updated my Mac software.have lots of Events created to organise my footage. My project is saved on a 2TB Passport Drive. My project keeps stalling, with the spinning wheel appearing very often, when I'm working in the timeline, so I end up having to force-quit a lot. but don't want to unless its actually the solution. If I need to, I guess I could buy a new drive. Would it impact my FCPX project or am I safe to run it? I have never used First Aid in Disk Utility, but I'm also thinking of running this on the external drive, though I'm a bit nervous to to anything to the drive. ![]() Q: What could be causing the spinning wheel to happen soooo often? I do have lots of Events created to organise my footage. That seemed to prevent the stalling for a while, but now I'm back to the same issue. What I've tried: I tidied up my project a while back, taking everything off the external hard drive except for the fcpx project. ![]()
