Activity Forums Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy HD Won’t Go

    Hi,
    I’m just starting a project shot on DVCProHD 30p. My material was imported from P2 media. I can’t seem to get the movies to move. The frame that the playhead is parked on will display in the canvas window and the external monitor, but it won’t show anything else when the playhead is in PLAY. When it stops, then it shows the new frame that its parked on. I can manually move the playhead in the timeline to reveal all frames and motion, but it won’t show on its own.

    For the record, my sequence settings are
    960×720 HD 16×9
    Anamorphic is checked
    Field dominance is NONE
    Compressor is for DVCProHD60p (my media was shot 30p, but that is not a selectable option)

    As far as I can tell, the media settings match the sequece settings. Is there some other obscure box I forgot to check or setting I forgot to tweak?
    Thanks,
    David

    Try running an easy setup to match to the video you have imported.

    If not you have to create AV settings with the correct codec and playback device set.

    This is usually a set up problem. You have to tell FCP what typefootage you want it to play back.
