  FCP Export Issues

  Posted by Brandon Young on December 19, 2008 at 10:59 pm

  I am working on a series and I am having some major issues right now.
  The first 2 episodes were shot on a different camera on the others. The third episode was captured with a Sony HVR-V1U and the episode looks better than the others.
  Now, with the same capture settings, etc., the fourth episode comes out jittery. Although sound is good and in sync.

  The episode looks fine while editing, and even the export seems to look okay. When I burn it to DVD is when I have the issue.
  The fifth episode looks the same and I cannot figure it out.

  Now, is it the DVD burn gone bad? Or is it going into Compressor? Or the FCP export?

  I am using a 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro with Final Cut Studio 2.

  Another possible issue I can think of but not sure if it is for sure or not, but all my project files are on an External Harddrive. Could that possibly make the export look jittery?

  Any help would be highly appreciated!

  Are you testing the DVD on the computer, or on a set-top box? I’ve seen problems when playing back on the computer that turn out to be fine on a regular TV. I don’t think this is your problem, but I thought I would throw it out.

  if your exports look good, what are you doing from there to the DVD? What program are you using to compress it and what are your settings set to?

  The external drive should not be an issue.
