frame skipping and render issues
I’m using the same computer, everything I always do when editing, and suddenly both projects I’m working on there is a skipping in video playback no matter if low or high quality. the two projects were brought in by different decks and computers originally, and they both have the same problem so it shouldn’t be the deck. and both are processes I’ve done multiple times with no problems.
when I export a clip that’s skipping, it’s still skipping in the export. When I bring it down to QUARTER playback frame rate, it looks crappy, but atleast I see the gap where it usually stutter skips, it’s smooth. When I checked the original tape and play in Capture window, the reel plays fine, no skip or jutting. And to top it off, it’s only one reel in each project doing this, the rest of the reels seem fine, playback fine. It’s nuts. The only issue I can see in the bin is, the “suspect clip” has a 3.5 MB/Sec Data rate, while all the others have a 3.6 MB/Sec data rate. But I didn’t choose a data rate when capturing and wouldn’t know how to control it. So any input on things I could try would be appreciated.also, perhaps related, perhaps not, but the clip on these same messed up clips from before, are off about 5 seconds when playback compared to when rendered. until I render it, when I go to trim the clip, it’s off like 6 seconds, showing me where it is on the video when it is eventually rendered. Once i render the clip, it’s a 6 second difference then viewing before render. Just weird. Help.

If I had to guess I’d say you having a hard drive throughput issue.
But, we shouldn’t really have to guess, should we? Wouldn’t you prefer an educated answer? So, why don’t you tell us what video codec you’re editing and what type media drives you’re using so we can really help you…

Since only the bad clip had a different data rate and the rest was captured to the same harddrive and came out fine, I just re captured the clip and it plays fine now and with the same data rate as the others. Something weird just must have happened to the drive during that capture. Thanks though.
