Incredibly odd issue with playback and render in FCP
Hi there,
I am currently editing off a MBPro 2.4GHz Core 2, 3GB RAM, with 10.4.11 on FCP 6.0.4.
I am having the most annoying time figuring out what is happening to my edit, what happens is I choose a shot in the Viewer, mark an In and Out, then either overwrite or insert into a sequence. Now when I play the shot on the timeline it is fine, but as soon as I hit stop or scrub through it, a different portion of the source clip appears. What is especially weird is when I apply an effect to the shot and render it, it renders with a completely different portion of the source clip from what I originally selected.
As you can imagine this is making editing impossible as even putting a dissolve on the end, changes just the rendered dissolve into another portion of the source clip, therefore making it pointless!
Has anyone ever had something similar, and is there a quick fix….or something more wrong!
Many thanks for any help and suggestions.
Regards
Nick

Trash prefs, repair permissions and run Disk Warrior. See if that helps and report back if you’re still having problems.

Before you go trashing your prefs and running Disk Warrior, you can do some simple debugging. It would help us tremendously to know what your formats are.
This type of issue comes up when media is improperly captured. I’d make your media offline and first try relinking. If that doesn’t work, I’d try making it offline, sending it to the trash, and recapturing.

Is this your only sequence with this problem, or do you have this all the time.
Anyway, this quick tip might help.
tip 1. Create a new sequence, copy all your clips from the damaged sequence and paste it in to the new one.
tip 2. you can recall the source of a clip by positioning the playhead over the clip in the timeline en then hit the ‘f’ key. Now you can drag this clip again from the viewer and replace the damaged clip.
tip 3. Rerender, maybe the render files are damaged.
