FCP 6 Quicktime Export Stutter playback
Hey guys,
I am having a problem with a timeline that I have used the FILE>EXPORT QUICKTIME on. When played from the timeline, my 10min piece plays back smoothly and beautiful. When I export the timeline to a self contained quicktime movie using CURRENT VIDEO & AUDIO settings, i dont seem to get the same playback quality. I see a kind of faint stutter in some of my pans and what not. could this be a pulldown issue in quicktime. here is some background of my timeline and system setup.
-FCP 6
-10 Drive sata raid (0)
-Timeline consists of DVCPROHD & DVCPRO50 footage
-Quciktime export using current setting
-File saved to same sata raidany advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I am using footage from HDX900s and HVX200s. I have never removed pulldown and simply edited in 60p. beleive it or not… your comment just bumped my brain and i had an apifiny. Why not remove pulldown from the 60p fooatage and shoot my HVX in PN at 24 or 30fps (depending on shoot). With FCP 6 i have been mixing 60p footage with 24pn footage. I have no idea why just now this is becoming clear. but what can i do about projects i have already edited? re capture? will time remaps and effects be messed up?
Thanks for the response

Ok guys so heres my immediate problem. I have a DVCPROHD 720p60 timeline with 2 types of footage on it. first there is 24p footage shot from hdx900s. The footage doe NOT have the pulldown removed, so it is still in its “over 60” state. The other is footage from a hvx200 @ 60fps 60p. As mentioned above, output to a quicktime file is playing back with a stutter.
At this point I simply want a workaround to get a smooth playing quicktime file. But ultimitley I would like to know of any other problems using this workflow (keeping all footage “over60” and editing on a 60 timeline.)
-I know im burning 2x the disk space
-I know this is more demanding on the computer.
-now this quicktime problem.Why do we do stuff this way you ask? we shoot 2 cams above water @ 24 for the look. But shoot an underwater cam @ 60 to be able to capture fast moving fish. We want the option to playback underwater footage slowed down, or in real time.
Any info would greatly be appreciated as i am looking to back my argument on this end. Thanks guys!
