#4.06 Project Save Crash
2 messages in this thread
>> How was it working before with 4.04? <<
Pretty much like many others here. Stutters guaranteed to start for projects
longer than six minutes. Audio pops stutters with split edits. But it almost
never crashed.
Now the split edits are fixed (and automated, thanks NewTek). Stuttering is
greatly reduced. But it crashes. Yesterday I thought I'd found the workaround
— keeping the crouton count on a video drive under 200. And while that has
greatly reduced the crashing (it no longer crashes when clicking on VideoB) it
still occasionally crashes when attempting to save a project.
I figure the 200 crouton limit (which equals 400 files — clip plus clip.I
file) is related to the problem a couple of others were having with framestore
directories with more than 400 files. It seems to be a magic number that trips
up either AmigaDOS or the Flyer OS.
Anyone aware of a "number of files per directory" limitation in AmigaDOS?
>> I just installed 4.05 and I'm running into some play back problems I didn't
have before. Long sequences now won't play back – the audio (sequencer) seems
to get stuck on the first note. If I chop a project down to 3-4 minute
segments, they play OK. Have you run into this??<<
Not with respect to audio problems. But any project over six minutes in 4.04b
and earlier stuttered. Perhaps 4.06 will improve things for you there.
>>I don't remember hearing anybody else having the Fusion Forty – maybe a
conflict??<<
NewTek has Fusion Forties and says they're fine.
>>Do these clips have Effects between them or straight cuts??<<
Straight cuts only.
Thanks for your suggestions. Good luck with your audio problems.

Don't know much about AmigaDOS but that seems kinda strange at any rate. PC
DOS has (or had) directory limitations. I haven't had the occassion to load
that much onto my Flyer – yet.

What's troubling is that I played back 15 minute and longer projects in 4.03.
Now a project that played back in 4.03 won't play right in the new software
(4.05). I think I should reformat my drives again since I've installed 4.05. I
have been reformatting every time after I clear off a project – but I haven't
done it since updating.
