FCP real time playback for animation

[Michael Astrachan]

Now I am pulling out my hair here…I am still trying to get real time playback with FCP…Right now the only Quicktime codec that works for me is DV..but even at 100% it looks soft.(so this isn’t a great option) I have tried jpegA compression 90% and 100% neither works…At 93% I am getting the dropped frames pop up error, At 100% i get the nasty red bar that says i need to render. Animation codec dosen’t work either…(need to render)

Its only standard def as well…720×486 1.2 aspect 29.97 fps (what codec would you use for this?…what codec should work for this??)

My Sequence settings jive with my clip settings so that bit of learning has been taken care of.

thx!
