Photo-jpeg stutters?
Hello,
For the first time I am attempting to edit an offline in FCP using the photo-JPEG setting to capture, I’ll then online on the same machine using the Cinewave card via SDI. The image quality looks great, it’s nothing like the old Avid 3s or Media 100 5 draft settings, which I do miss sometimes, but as a result it takes up quite a bit of space, it seems comparable to Mini DV in that respect. Anyway my point is this: on the timeline the footage plays fine, but in the source window it stutters and therefore it’s extremely difficult to find the right shot. Is there a setting which I need to change to alleviate this? Also has the speed issue been sorted out with version 5, i.e. if I speed a clip up in the offline, when I come to online will it redigitise the right piece of media, I heard that previously this was a nightmare?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Is the Viewer set to “fit to window”? That’s about the only thing I can think of that would cause a stuttery playback there…

just for the heck of it .. try setting your video to 50% in the window and see what happens

Yes I’ve tried that as well, so basically what you are saying is that footage captured at Photo-JPEG quality should play fine in the source window?

Hello,
I’ve had problems with this before. Lay the DeInterlace effect on it and also the flickerfilter effect seems to help as well.These effects are located in the Video Filters under Video. See if that works.

It should not be stuttering… Post the versions of Quicktime, OS, and FCP you are using. Is there a capture card involved? which one? and which drivers are you using?

Jerry,
The Mac in question is a Dual 2.7 GHz running OS X 10.3.6, Quicktime 6.5.2, FCP HD 4.5, and the card is a Cinewave.
