QT stutters upon export from FCP
Here’s a stumper (at least for me)…
When I export my QT (no compression-everything native to my timeline/media), I notice some stuttering in the footage in some places. For instance, a group of people running from screen left to right seem a bit choppy/jerky (coming out of a dissolve) before they resume their normal speed. On other spots, people walking towards camera have movement that doesn’t seem natural (again, the movement is a bit jerky/strobey (no dissolves or effects on footage) and then returns to normal. There are no effects or anything.
When I play the footage through QT player, it looks fine. When I watch on my FCP timeline-again, fine. When I take the exported QT movie back into FCP-it has the problem.
I have trashed preferences-no luck.
I have confirmed that my QT player (7.3.0) is enabled to play at the highest res possible.Running FCP 5.1.4 on a Powerbook G4 1.67, using 7200 rpm G-RAID Drive, and the footage is HD 720/24p (from panasonic P2 camera)
Thanks for any help that anyone can give me-very confused.

Onto which Mac disk are you exporting the QT movie?
There might be a problem playing the footage from that disk in real-time.

Thanks for your response. I exported to my external drive originally and that’s where I noticed the problem. I brought in back onto my internal hard driveI to play-no luck, and also tried exporting to my internal hard drive as a QT as well. Since the stutter is consistently in the same places on the video, it makes me think that the problem is the way that the footage is being handled, or the way the dissolves are somehow treating the footage. But since it doesn’t always happen on a dissolve, it makes me wonder…
