    hey guys so ive been working on an edit in fcp 6.0.6 and once i was finished with the edit i was taking each shot into after effects cs3 and grading it and doing other effects to each shot there. The process was that i was exporting a quicktime reference movie of each shot and working with that in after effects and then exporting a quicktime movie of the same codec (xdcam ex 108030p)and puting it back into fcp . It plays fine in the standalone quicktime player but once in fcp it wont play smoothly at all… it shutters, stops, freezes on a frame and more… the specs are exactly the same as the sequence and the orig clips, so i cant figure it out… any help at all would be great..

    i apologize if this is a common issue but i couldn’t find anything in the forums..

    apple g5 dual 2.7

    Try re-rendering your clip in AE using ProRes 422 instead of XDCAM EX, and change the codec in your FCP sequence to ProRes 422 as well.
