  • Final Cut Pro 5 HDV – Playback stuttering

    Posted by Alexander Feichter on August 17, 2005 at 3:04 pm

    Hi all,

    is there any known setting to avoid the stuttering playback of a HDV-timeline?
    I have mostly normal clips mixed with some multitracks. just one audiotrack.

    as the audiotrack was the audio of the used multitrack the stutter appeared nearly every 5 seconds.

    dual g5 2.7, 3.5 GB, system on external fw800 and striped 250GB-drives as mediadrive.

    thanks for any help!

    that’s it, thanks!

    strange, with only one track containing an imported aiff…

    Audio Mixdown has solved countless “sticky” playback problems regardless of the number of audio clips and tracks.

    Its the FIRST thing I try.

    oh – occasionally id worked for a while…(???)

    …but now the “hangs” are happening again

    well, I’m working in HDV native instead of the intermediate codec.

    ok. from my understanding of HDV, final cut must do some sort of ‘pre-loading’ of the edits that are coming up in the timeline. means, that it has to load the i-frame and the following information needed previsously – to be able to show at a certain time the right frame.

    so, may it be that if the edits are relatively short, final cut has to ‘preread’ more than one clip at a time and can get into trouble…?

    who else out there is editing in native hdv?

    if it is a speed issue i really don’t know how to ‘tune’ up my mac(hine) appropriately… (x-raid?)

    greetings

    alex
