Poor video playback via broadcast output

[Oliver Peters] “Basic Title placed on the primary storyline. FWIW – although the project setting is ProResHQ, nothing is rendered on the timeline. I am exporting a master file as ProResLT.”
Just tried that and there’s still no sync problem here, inconsistencies like this make me nervous!

[Oliver Peters] “It’s definitely the slug/title. I just ran another test and removed slate and gap and started only with the first frame of the first spot and everything is in sync.”
And if you add it back in, is it still off?

Definitely seeing it here. After doing a few more tests, here’s what I’m seeing. The Title generator cannot be the first clip in the project. Doesn’t matter if it’s in the primary or connected, it holds for the first frame and throws the picture off. If you insert a gap before the title, then sync is OK.

I have tried this with old Projects and new Projects. I’m not seeing this. Generator or not, all the tc and timing matches and there’s no double frames:
Here’s BLITS from Trevor. It’s PAL, though.:

Beats me. Just more flaky FCP X behavior.

This is the project I created it in … Was a test to try out FCPx … You might be able to adapt it for non-PAL although from memory (I don’t have x installed) the sync test was a QT import… Might have the original motion project for that somewhere

Thanks, Trevor.
Indeed there was one sync mov that was 25i.

I just tried another very simple test. Title + gap + 1 clip. Couldn’t reproduce the issue either.
Another data point to consider, though. If you recall one of the other series of discussions related to the need for a project, I talked about editing in compound clips. All of these projects were edited as compound clips and then copied & pasted to a fresh project. It could very well be that copy & pasting is doing something funky under the hood. Or breaking apart compounds back into clips. A lot of unpredictable elements at play.
Voodoo!!

Not sure if this helps you, but I ran into these same issues when I ran FCPX on a MacPro, which I don’t think you’re using here. But I noticed a significant difference in video output performance when using using a single computer monitor vs 2. Not sure why as I was using a GTX285 at the time which was more than capable in handling all that, but switching off to 1 helped a lot.
The other thing that helped was having quit out of other apps, most notably Safari. I’m betting you’ve tried these kinds of performance maxouts, but figured I’d mention it.
Then of course last and not preferable is a master export, then either reimport are use Blackmagic’s dedicated Media Express program to output to tape.
Hope something works for you.

Hmm… 2 monitors vs. 1 . Something worth looking into. This system is a single 30″ ACD, though. Of course, that draws a lot. I’ll check if anything else is connected to the back of the card.
