My edit has slowed down again.
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 29fps.

If your quicktimes are slow that means you have captured at the wrong frame rate. Open up the movie in quicktime and hit command-i. Read what it says under FPS.

I can only think of one thing. i have the HVX200 with the FS100 and the hard drive is set to capture at DV DVPRO NTSC. I was told my Focus enhancements that this was the Codec for DV.
Again, what is funny is I have been editing with this footage all day and all of the sudden the edit slows down. But it doesn’t happen in my G4.G5, 1.7, 4MB RAM, 30″cine, G4, 1.6 2MB RAM, Mbox, Neumann TLM-103, FCP HD 5.

Wait what?
You have edited all day and then all of a sudden your quicktimes are slow? That makes no sense. Not that I can think of right now anyway. I will go read your other post.

It is possible that ether your media files or your project files are corrupt some how.
Trash your preference files and try a different project with entirely different media. it that works ok them it is definitely a corrupt project file or media.
Don’t let technology get in the way of your creativity!

I read the other post.
SO it works on the G4 and not on the G5?
You captured direct to firestore in the quicktime mode or p2 mode?
Can you please open up a quicktime in quicktime player and tell me what it says under FPS???

I am not thinking very clearly right now. I have a file open in QT, how do I access the info on FPS?

Hit command-i (or apple-i). A window pops open and will tell you the FPS among other things.

sorry,
I can see everything but FPS. Anyway, thanks for trying. I am doing this on my G4, although slower, I am getting the edit done. I may try and trash my preferences folder on the G5 tomorrow and see if anything changes.

When you open the Quicktime info window, you should see this.
What version of quicktime are you on?
