fcp7 won’t play rendered blue areas
Hi
I’m having a weird issue I’ve never experienced before
I’m onlining an Project I graded and round tripped with DaVinci.
It is 2048×873 PR 422 HQ.
FCP will only either play back the files that don’t need rendering (ie native to the sequence) or the rendered files (say with a transistion or motion fx) with the blue bar. Whichever type I start on the it plays that but when the playhead hits a file of the other type it freezes video playback.
Any ideas, known issue etc?
Thanks,
Michael

It’s either your non-standard frame size or your render files are on a drive that can’t keep up. I think it’s the non standard size… FCP does not like them much.

thanks
thought it might be the size though it is 2k academy scope – so a pretty standard DCP-prep frame size I thought.
