Footage wont play down…
I was using FCP v6 and everything was honkey-dorey. The project Im now working on was started in another facility running v7 so I had to bump mine up. I upgraded to v7 and when I went back to the edit in my system the footage in client monitor didnt come up. So I went to “AV Settings – AV Devices and went to View-External Video- All frames- refresh. The image in my canvas now comes up on the client monitor. But the timeline wont play video down; I get a freeze frame. It wont play in the Canvas either. I can hear the footage if I play itand when I stop the canvas/client monitor update. But no motion. This worked at the other facility. What gives? Thanks

What is the format of the footage? How are you connected to the client monitor?

The footage is DVCProHD100 and it was captured in another system. I copied that footage from the client’s drive to my 1TB drive and connected it to my CPU via a SATA cable. The client monitor on my system comes from the CPU’s 2nd monitor output (that tiny apple-proprietary port) and an adapter to HDMI then connects it via HDMI to the monitor. Understand that this setup was working fine before I intalled v7 of the software. I have a raid-0 set of drives in the CPU; (3) 1TB drives striped as one. As a test I pulled a file from that internal raid that I used in my last project into my current project and it will not play either. I can only hear it and the monitors update once I pause on a shot. That shot wouldnt even frame up correctly in the viewer. It was stretched too far left to right. What is going on????

After a moment of desperation, I shut off the client monitor (View, Video Playback: none) and the video plays down in FCP! So the question then is: Why wont it play back in the client monitor? Hmmmm. Stumped.
