    Hi,

    when exporting in FCP 5.4 on MacPro with QT Conversion, the movies look choppy when using the preset QT Broadband (700kbit/sec). The same thing occurs using the same settings in MPEG Streamclip. I didn’t change any setting on my Mac, no updates, it just happened… Yesterday I could convert the exact same Uncompressed Movie with this preset and it worked fine.

    No new software installed.
    The only thing I did was adjust the multiprocessing settings in AE. I’ve put them back but that doesn’t seem to matter.
    My HD is 1,5Tb and I have 257Gb free space.

    It’s in RAID…
    Uncompressed files play perfectly in real time of course. Mac is doing a great job. “knock on wood”
    It’s just when I convert them to small QT movies to e-mail to my clients, the quality used to be perfect with the QT Conversion preset in FCP and now suddenly…
    Don’t know hat happened.

    No stress ;o)
    I tried a restart but it didn’t help.
    It’s getting late in Europe so maybe when I wake up, the Mac will pretend it’s a new day and everything’s ok!
    Let’s hope so, thanks for now.
