Re: Beachballing

[Russell Lasson] "Open the activity monitor in the utilities folder. Sort by processing power and see if some other application or task is eating up your processors."

So I did this when I was trying to save in Color (where it 'beachballs' for about 30-60 seconds every time) - it showed no huge processor usage, but it did show Color as 'not responding' which went away after the beachball stopped and the Color save progress bar came up.

I have experienced similar on another Mac Pro, also with FCP. It's most frustrating when it happens when trying to do something seemingly so simple, like moving down the timeline, or clicking on a dropdown option in a dialogue box or something.

I'll look into DiskWarrior or the other application that was suggested, and will upgrade to Leopard when Avid supports it.
