output weirdness
Has anyone experienced this?
FCP5, BM Dual sdi card to digibeta, using 10bit uncompressed sequence. Edit to tape, performing inserts onto tape. Set the ins and outs, perform a few inserts with no problem, move down the timeline to another spot, set ins and outs then FC bails on the edit at the insert point everytime. When the window comes up that shows you the first frame of what will be inserted, it now just shows black when you initiate the edit. The only way to fix this is to create a new sequence and drop that section into it, resetting code and then it works fine. This has happened on many sequences. It’s almost like the sequences get corrupted doing some inserts.

The first thing to always try is to Quit FCP, Restart the Mac, Open your FCP project and try again.
Next:
THE FOLLOWING COMES FROM THE KEN STONE WEBSITE:
“Over 5,000 years ago Confucius wrote: ‘If you are toiling away, you have changed nothing and FCP heads South on you, [starts behaving in strange ways] then it is time to trash your FCP Preferences.’ ”Click the following link for instructions.

A great way to do this is to use “FCP Rescue” a free Apple Script that will Trash the Preferences for you (and restore nearly all of your user settings afterward).
There are versions for FCP (Pro) & FCE (Express) and a new one for FCP 5.Download these free Apple Scripts at

This is one FCP tip that has helped in solving hundreds of “odd” problems.

Thanks for your info Matte. Trashing does help me for a bit but it keeps on happening which causes me concern. Much appreciated response!
