  • playback plays single frame on external monitor

    Posted by Ace Cruz on February 3, 2008 at 10:14 am

    Help! I am trying to have playback from an external monitor and it is only showing one frame of the picture and plays the audio fine. I am using FCP 6 with my timeline’s frame rate at 23.98 and 960 x720 size. I connected my G5 leapard to my camera thru firewire and output from the RCA cables to a flat screen tv. My canvas plays fine, but the external monitor only plays one frame from the timeline and plays the audio. Does anyone know why?
    I have also set my view menu to “All frames” and set my Canvas size to “fit all”. My footage came from a P2 card from an HVX 200 camera. 16x 9 native which comes out 960×720.

    appreciate the help.

    Hey Rinaldo (?)

    Did you check your camera and output settings to see that they match yet?
    If your Video Playback settings (in FCP) match your camera’s current input settings then it should work.

    Is your camera expecting a DV or DVCPROHD signal? What do your Video Playback settings say (View > Video Playback, or Final Cut Pro > Audio/Video Settings…)

    Hi Andy,

    I am not Rinaldo. I am Ace.

    How do I check my camera output setting on my HVX 200 camera.

    How can i check if my camera is expecting DV or DVCPROHD?

    My Audio/Video settings say this:

    Sequence Preset DVCPRO HD – 720p24
    Capture Preset : DV NTSC 48kHz
    Device control Preset: FireWire NTSc
    Video Playback: Apple FireWire NTSC (720 x 480)
    Audio Playback: FireWire DV

    No offense intended Ace … uncannily similar threads often crop up and so often they are just re posts and cross posts, it can get annoying when you’re trying to figure something out for the poster’s, and potentially your own, future benefit.

    Regarding your how camera setup I’m afraid I don’t use the HVX200 so have no reference on specific operation controls … lots of users around here so you should get instructions soon

    Is your video in the canvas sized too large for the window? (Click in your canvas window, then hit SHIFT+Z to resize your canvas to “fit to window”.)

    If your canvas is larger than the window it can cause playback issues.

    Might not be your problem at all, but worth a check.

    Sorry, just breezed through the post the first read. View size not the issue.

    Ace,

    I duplicated your issue on my MacBook Pro, which is connected to my deck via FireWire. I tried every permutation to get it to work, same problem, still only. I tried 23.98 fooatage 24p footage, nothing worked.

    BUT, if you set external video to “cinema desktop display-full screen” it will play in real time on an ACD. this the only thing that worked.

    Have a wonderful day.

    The HVX200 does not work this way in HD. You will have to get yourself another device to monitor your footage as the camera will not do it like a dv camera will.
