Hi All,

Has anyone ever had their computer completely turn off mid render on a clip in the timeline. The clip in question is a not too complexed BFX. Mid render the computer switches off and re boots. The computer is a Mac Studio Ultra with plenty of onions to do the job running Flame2027. I dont think it’s Flame issue I think it’s a Mac issue. I also have another project with some clips that are having the same resultse clips have lots of Timewarps. Is this a possible memory thing do you think. Does anyone have any go to tips they can share on this. If so if be greatly appreciative as it’s a horrible little issue.

Also does anyone know how to point a Vic check to the correct project path in the latest versions of Flame. I’m guessing Stonefs has gone now ?

I’m using four Mac Studios and never seen this. You should get in touch with support.

Sounds like an overheating issue
