my edit has slowed down again.
I really don’t have any answer for what has happened. I opened up some old .avi files and tried to play them in QT. The audio and video is just playing at a slower speed. I really don’t know what to do. I am not sure if this is FCP or not. I don’t even know where to start. Are there any known MAC issues out there that may cause this problem? Are there any viruses that are out?
I came back and opened up an earlier session that was editing fine and I now have the same problems as I did as you can read in the following message that I posted yesterday. This time I started my session on a secondary internal hard drive to make sure my external firewire drive wasn’t malfunctioning. I have changed not codecs what so ever. I am about to go nuts. Can anyone think of why this is happening.
I am in big trouble. After a video render, a :29 minute show in my timeline has well been pitch and time changed. It is slower and all the audio is slower and at a lower timber. I can’t think of doing anything. Also the files in my bins play back slow as well. We I went to the Hard Drive and opened the original files it QT, they are slow too. but it is just in the folder for this particular edit. Anyway, this show is due and my backed up footage is the files that are slow. I can’t do an edit unless Speed this thing up.
I am going to have to take the session back over to my G4 and hope for the best. This is very irritating and I really don’t know what to do. I have been over every preset and I am still in NTSC DV or 29

In the bin of FCP the column Vid Rate will tell you the frame rate of the media.
If you want further details you can highlight the clip then select Tools/Analyze Movie/Clip. This will give you the resolution, color depth, frame rate, etc.
The reason Jeremy was asking for the frame rate is because the symptoms you are describing are exactly what you would get if your frame rate was off. If your frame rate is off you can try correcting it with Cinema Tools. TEST THIS FIRST. COPY a clip the size is irrelevent so a small one will take less time to copy. Open cinema tools cancel out of the windows asking for a data base. File/Open clip navegate to the copy you made and select open. Select the conform button. Select the frame rate you want and press conform.
Open the conformed clip and play it. If it works great if not you probably have bad media.
