Dropped frames in playback/export
So I shot a ton of video on my Canon 5D Mark II and downloaded the plug in and everything, log and transferred it to final cut and it is stored on my G-Force 2TB External Hard Drive connected with a FW-800 cable. I’m editing on a MacBook Pro with 2GB of ram. I’ve reduced all the RT settings in my timeline as best I can but I’m still getting dropped frames and FCP gave me the error message about increasing disk speed and RT Extreme has determined this is the issue.
Everything I’ve read says 2GB should be enough but I’m thinking I need to upgrade to maybe 4GB of Ram but I’m not 100% sure if that’ll fix the issue.
I barely have any effects on my three minute video so with the playback quality as reduced as it is I feel like my playback should be fine. Export is another issue where after it FINALLY gets done exporting through quicktime conversion I try and play it back and in roughly the same spot every time my video will freeze but the audio will continue…. it’s also very herky jerky when I watch in quicktime.
In any case I really need to get this video uploaded to the web so if anybody has any input I would REALLY appreciate it, thank you!

Ok so I noticed after reading some other posts that I stupidly did Log and Transfer on ProRes 422 HQ.
I’m completed editing my video though, but I’m running into the export issues still, do I need to re log and transfer in regular ProRes 422 and do it all over again?

I have the same problem. I am editing these simple sales videos with one simple graphic title in and out with front and back cross dissolve. The strange thing, is that a few movies export fine while the majority have the same skips and jumps in the same locations – at the transition spot between graphic and video. I’ve tried using a jpeg and png file, which I don’t believe would make a difference, and exporting a QT, then re-importing that file and trying it all over again, which works for the most part, but on some, still contain these glitches. I am completely puzzled. Every sequence is the same whether they’ve exporting correctly or not. All the footage was imported the same. My only mystery is how it was captured – it was filmed on these little Kodak cameras that look like Flip recorders – 1080i I think. Please help!
Thanks for your time
