changing a clip to run in FCP6
I have a client that is trying to run a quicktime 720p 59.94 in FCP 6. the .mov was apparently made in FCP 5 because it runs fine there, but when he puts it in FCP 6 it runs for about five seconds and drops frames and or freezes the image even though the cti is still moving. He has a MacPro with 4 gigs of ram so he does not have a proc issue. His is running a 2gig fibre SAN so bandwidth is not the issue. I even had him try to render the clip but it said it did not need it. So, the only thing I can see to do is to change the clip to be compatible with FCP 6. However, he already told it no to that when he first put the clip in and now every machine he puts it on running FCP 6 does the same thing. My question is: how do you change the clip to run on FCP 6 and not FCP 5 even after he said he did not want to? And recapturing is not an option.
Thanks

Quick and dirty way to try a render and see if that helps is to add a “do-nothing” filter (a filter that’s effect doesn’t show) to the clip and render it.

By the way the clip is 10 bit uncompressed.

OK, matt. I don’t remember that filter in my line up. Which one would you suggest?

Have you tried exporting a new 10-bit uncompressed file just for the heck of it with a different name just to see if it might have something to do with that specific file that’s causing problems? That’s what I would do first since it’s an odd problem.
Also, are there any other 10-bit uncompressed files that run fine in that timeline without any dropped frames?
