  • FCP 5.1.4 on new hi res 17″ Macbook Pro canvas problems

    Posted by James Mulryan on July 7, 2007 at 1:27 pm

    Just purchased a MBP yesterday. Playing a 720 24p DVCPROHD movie on a 2.4G Macbook Pro 17″ hi res 7200 internal drive, 2G RAM 800 fw 7200 exteral scratch disk. OS 10.4.10 QT 7.1.6 FCP 5.1.4 One layer, When canvas is set to 100 percent, images with pans and movement plays back with shifting horizontal segments. Static images do not have these horizontal break ups.

    When set to 50 percent canvas size pans still break up. When set to 25 percent, not evident. Is the graphics card having a hard time keeping up? After rendering out QT movie, still get the same problem.

    Have an Imac 17″ intel 1.8, 10.4.9 QT 7.1.5 using the same FW drive through a 400 port using the same fcp project, pans are smooth, no horizontal shifting. Is the OS or QT upgrade causing this problem? Is it the graphic’s card? Do I have a setting or preferrence wrong?
    Any ideas would be much appreciated.

    Update on above issue.
    Imported new P2 footage using dual adaptot into MBPro looks perfect. Something about changing the OS or the QT system must be causing this problem. Anyone else run into this?
