FCP/Canon XHA1 full screen playback
Hey guys, I’ve been a long time reader, first time member. You’ve helped me a lot in the past, and now, well, I got a doozie for ya.
I just got a Canon XHA1s and shot some footage just around my house to test it out. I shot HDV, 24f, 1080i. As per someone else on the forum’s instructions, I used Easy Set up to set my project at 1080p 24p FireWire basic and successfully captured the footage. It looks great, it plays just fine in the Viewer and Canvas, but when I full screen it, it slows to a crawl and I can only skip frame by frame. It just won’t play.
I thought this might be a Quicktime issue, maybe the computer was running sluggishly, but nope, QT plays the raw file beautifully in full screen.
I’m running on a MacBook Pro with 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM, and running FCP 6.06. If there’s any other info you might need, just let me know. And once again, thank you!

You say you’re on a MBP, any chance your media is on your system drive? Just a guess.

When you say system drive are you talking about the laptop’s hard drive? Because that is the case. I usually use external, but since this is just a gig of test footage I thought I’d drop it on the laptop’s HD.

My ubderstanding is that the Canon shoots 1080 60i even in the 24f mode so the correct easy setup is 60i

The correct setup is the one you used, use it all the time with the A1 24p. The problem might be that the footage is on the laptop’s drive. Try it on an external drive and see if that helps.
