Dropping Frames Ahhhhhh!
ok so ive had some problems in the past with finalcut dropping frames during playback. but ive narrowed it down to it being when i add text. whether it be basic text or title3D when i place it on top of video, it usually would show the red unrendered bar across the top of the timeline, but for some reason now, when i place text on top of video, it does not show any bar of any kind/color above it? has anyone had this problem or found the solution? sequence is set to Safe RT, and renderes are in YUV.

There is a function in FCP that is often overlooked… and it can help with many audio and video “skipping”, “sticking” and “missing” problems.
You should “Mixdown” the Audio for playback before you dub out of FCP, or during the edit, if you have audio/video stuttering, drop-outs, sync-slippage, or freezes.
NOTE: Mixdown has even been demonstrated to help with slipping, skipping problems (or “missing” audio clips) for files being EXPORTED as QT (or similar) files out of FCP.
First, SELECT ALL of your audio tracks (highlight them) on the timeline, then:
Sequence Menu > Render Only > Mixdown.
You should see a dialog box telling you its rendering.
It might seem to make little sense that “Mixing down” even simple audio tracks will “fix” complex video “freezes” or random audio dropouts to tape or export, but it CAN.
NOTE: It does not matter of you only have one audio track, if there are random freezes during output, you should try the Mixdown.
