  AE QTs Repeat Frames in FCP6 – HELP!

  Posted by Phil Cater on July 1, 2008 at 5:38 pm

  The details first:
  Easy Set-up set to Kona 3 1080psf 23.98 10 bit Uncompr.
  The After Effects HD Graphic is 23.98 1920×1080 Animation Codec

  What Happens:
  In the Finder Window the QT from AE plays perfectly
  In Quicktime Pro this QT from AE plays perfectly
  Once imported into FCP6, (both in the Viewer and after rendering in a sequence with the above settings) will repeat frames in this fashion – 3:2:3:2:2:3:2:2:3:2 in which the 2nd frame is repeated as the 3rd, etc etc.

  This results in a “stuttering” playback. I have had other editors using FCP6 report this problem with no fix except to use an Image Sequence out of AE (a work-around but not a satisfactory one) I have also posted this on the FCP area so forgive my double-post.

  Also, I have brought in previous HD Graphics QTs from AE (BTW these are all full-frame animations w/ no alpha channel) that worked perfectly in FCP5 and they now show the same problem in FCP6.

  Has anyone found a way to fix this? Is there some sort of bizarre pull-down action going on? Is there a way to customize an import into FCP6 of an AE QT? (All I got is File
