Digital Artifacts in FC 6
Guys this is getting worse. I keep getting small squares dropping out of my footage at random. Here is the thing, its not on the tape or the captured scratch footage. It gets worse once I place it in the Timeline.
Then to add to the weirdness, it would appear and disappear ???
WTH ???
I am lost for words. I thought problem RAM maybe – or bad FC prefs ??
Any shots at this

What does it look like on your broadcast output monitor?

Will,
To help us narrow down the problem you need to give us more information…
1. How was this shot?
2. What codec are the captured files you’re editing with?
3. What are your sequence settings?
4. Do you have an external video monitor? If so, is the problem also visible on that?Having those pieces of information to begin with would usually mean that by now you would have a solution. It’s impossible to give technical solutions when you include no technical details in your question.
All the best,

Ok
This was shot on a JVC 101 in normal DV mode
I captured into FCP on the preset PAL 48knz Codec – Nothing tweaked as standard. Time line settings are the same PAL 48khz STD. I am not running any special video cards as a Kona or AJA and I have no video monitor. I have included a sample pic to show you.
Last night I tracked it down to footage off one drive set only. BTW the footage was captured to an WD Studio 2 external 1TB drive. Now I have dug a bit deeper and I have tracked this problem to this drive only. It connects via FW800. My mind goes – could the drive be going !?

Sounds likely. Check the disk with Disk Warrior and see if it can repair any corruption. Also it might be worth then cloning the drive after Disk Warrior in case it is about to fail.

Ok a bit of an update – I did a Disk Warrior Check and all is oK. I have now loaded 3 DV cassettes onto another drive – a 1TB onboard SATA, and the same thing ???
No I am lost
