final cut pro droping frames whilst printing to tape.
Hi All
i am having some problems with my final cut file dropping frames whilst it is mastering ( print to tape )
i am in the process of mastering a few DVCAM’s and the first couple mastered without a hitch but now this is happening.i am relatively new to all this so bare with me and my lack of knowledge.
any help as to stop them dropping frames or how to select the right buttons would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
JD

This error message usually means your disk system is too slow.
hopefully you are not on the system drive. Media should ALWAYS be on another physical drive.An other consideration would be available space on said drive. over 80% full and you begin to run into problems, or not very often but fragmentation can be an issue if you have copied and deleted a lot
Lastly make sure the drive you are playing your media from is formatted MacOS instead of FAT32. Highlight the drive icon and press “command” and the “i” key at the same time

And please, please PLEASE don’t use an external USB drive for editing video.
