  • external video playback plays single frame

    Posted by Ace Cruz on February 1, 2008 at 12:56 pm

    I am using FCP 6 on a G5 dual core tower with 8 gigs of ram. Everytime I play the external monitor it only plays a single frame, but the audio continues fine. i put my settings from the view menu on “all frames” and set my canvas to “fit in window” and have set my A/V setting properly, but I still get the single frame. The project is 960 x 720 native 16×9, I don’t know if that makes a difference. I used the HVX 200 camera using the P2 cards. I tried switching machine one with Tiger and the other with Leopard and still no luck. Can someone help me?

    Check that your Sequence matches your clips. Also ensure that you are properly feeding an HD signal to your monitor.

    I am using a firewire cable from the G5 computer to my HVX 200 and going out from my camera’s RCA out into a TV with RCA connectors. Does the monitor have to be an HD monitor? How can I play it on a regular TV monitor with RCA inputs?

    I don’t know if the camera will do a realtime downconvert to SD to display on a monitor.

    Hi Simon,

    The frame rate is 23.98 . do you think that is the problem?

    Let’s see, I’m counting three answers down here so it looks like you’re getting replies.

    Did you check with Panasonic to ensure that the HVX200 can be used in the manner you’re trying to use it in? As in down-convert HD to SD in realtime via an edit system? Again, I don’t think it can.
