DISSOLVES DROPPING FRAMES
I have been using Final Cut for a long time now recently my 1.8 Dual G5 has been dropping frames on playback during dissolves. I have 1gig of ram and have plenty of hard disk space; this has never happened before; its proving a problem when I record back to DV tape. Although I could export it as a self contained movie; I don’t understand why it hsa started doing this. I edit internally using DV with external video off; I have all the latest updates. Has any one else experienced this.
Please help

The first thing to always try is to Quit FCP, Restart the Mac, Open your FCP project and try again.
Next:
THE FOLLOWING COMES FROM THE KEN STONE WEBSITE:
“Over 5,000 years ago Confucius wrote: ‘If you are toiling away, you have changed nothing and FCP heads South on you, [starts behaving in strange ways] then it is time to trash your FCP Preferences.’ ”Click the following link for instructions.
https://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/trashing_fcp_prefs.html
A great way to do this is to use “FCP Rescue” a free Apple Script that will Trash the Preferences for you (and restore nearly all of your user settings afterward).
There are versions for FCP (Pro) & FCE (Express) and a new one for FCP 5.Download these free Apple Scripts at

This is one FCP tip that has helped in solving hundreds of “odd” problems.
