  Playback sticking at various points in the Avid Xpress

  Posted by Anthony Rhodes on June 2, 2008 at 5:41 pm

  Hey!
  I have edited a project in AVID XPRESS. But during the play back it skips and the video lags a little but not always the same loction. I completed the entire sequence. I “squeezed it” in and burned it on a disc and it played fine.
  What could possibly cause this?
  It did it before after removing a few projects from the system, but after I defragged that drive it was fine for the previous project.
  I tried compressing the files and doing a disc clean up as well but now this time it still does it when its played back in Xpress. But it burns fine!
  HELP!

  What are your system specs? How complex is your project? When you play the sequence, do you notice a red line at the bottom of the timeline?

  And you said you defragged your drive – did you do that to your system drive or your media drive?

  Hey Jon,
  Thanks for getting back so quickly.
  We defragged our system drive.
  We are using the Avid Express 5.6.4
  No we did not have a red line at allduring play back.
  The project really was’nt complexed. We did have several transitions, and a few effects.
