FCP 7 Dropped Frames after trashing Prefernces
I’ve read a ton of other answers for this same question. I was having issues after rendering footage so I trashed Preferences. When I restarted FCP i get dropped frames during playback. I am working with AppleProRes LT sequence settings match the clip. The footage is on an external Glyph raid. I reset capture scratch to that drive. When I open FCP now i get “External A/V Unable to locate the following External devices, Apple Firewire NTSC 720×480” i click check again and nothing. Please any help is greatly appreciated. I am not a super pro.
That warning was not happening prier to trashing preferences

Check your user preferences. Make sure you don’t have the “Report Dropped Frames” option checked.
There is also an option within Audio/Video Settings in the very last tab that allows you to report the External Video error.

And where are the render files?[Jim Cooke] ” When I open FCP now i get “External A/V Unable to locate the following External devices, Apple Firewire NTSC 720×480″ i click check again and nothing.”
If you don´t have any FW external device (Camera or VCR), uncheck “Warn next time” when you get the message.

Render files are on the same external drive. Which I thought would be powerful enough. I unchecked the Report dropped frames which seems to have solved the constant warning.
