  • Dropping frames in viewer and canvas, 1080 HD 10bit 23.98

    Posted by Paul Sadler on April 12, 2005 at 2:44 am

    Using FCP HD… I just finished loading some HD footage on my raid today. Captured fine, but playback is chopy, and I will get the FCP drop frames warning telling me to check the settings of RT, etc.

    I have checked the standard settings such as RT effects and video playback set to low quality. I tested the speed of the raid several times using the blackmagic speed tester, and i’m getting aprox 400mbps read & write.

    I’m at a loss… I hope someone can help.

    Thanks in advance for any advise or fixes.

    hello paul,

    Have you checked Systems settings > Playback Cntrol > RT .. Have you set the options to safe.. and not RT.

    Thanks,

    Yes,

    all of the normal things have been done such as: RT to safe, playback to low quality, sequence settings to match media.

    thanks,

    What graphics card are you using on your system? You generally can’t work with HD in real time with the 64MB Radeon 9600 XT or 64MB NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 graphics card that come standard.

    I found it! Yes!

    After almost ending my life, I decided to give all the settinga a wirl again.

    None of them caused this issue.

    BUT during the process I found if you go to the View tab and select the audio to follow the video, play a clip, and then set it back to what ever you want, The Clips Will Play Fine from then on.

    So it seems to be a “bug” when using this type of media, and the fix is just selcting the Audio/Video follow, and then setting it back to what you had originaly or what you need.

    Just dumb luck finding this to be the problem, but i’m so f@#$ happy 🙂

    I thought this info might be of help to those in the future.
