media distortion on 2nd layer
Hello all,
I’m having an unusual problem. first off, we are using FCP 7 on a Mac Pro with 2 x 3ghz Quad-Core intel xeon processor and 10GB 800mhz ddr2 F-B DIMM Memory. The camera original footage was shot at 108024pa on a panasonic HDX 900. The sequence settings are 1080i60 with a 23.98 timebase. The issue is we have all this archival that is DV/DVCPRO-NTSC 29.97 and whenever we put a second layer on any of this archival (like lower thirds or even the same footage) we get this strange ‘jumping’ distortion, it looks like the image jumps on the cut or where ever the lower 3rd comes in. I tried to modify the lower 3rd to conform to the sequence but that had no effect. Does anyone know what this could be? do i need to modify the archival to fit the sequence? Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I’m not clear what you’re doing. Is all the footage SD? Are you putting 29.97 footage on track 2 in a 23.98 sequence and getting jumping? Or, in your 29.97 seq with archivals you’re getting jumping when any track 2 material is added regardless of its frame rate? What are your seq settings in all cases?
