  • Sluggish XDCAM playback in FCP/QuickTime

    Posted by Adrian Graham-smith on June 22, 2011 at 8:52 am

    This morning I’m having a lot of trouble getting footage shot on an EX3 (XDCAM EX 1080p 35mb/s) to play back at proper speed in FCP: I keep getting dropped frames.

    I’ve tried the files on a couple of drives with the same result, and can play back higher bitrate ProRes files with no dramas.

    I had some major crashing issues lately, which turned out to be a PRAM issue, and as part of my troubleshooting I deleted my preferences folders. Could I have I removed an XDCAM playback component?

    My system is a Macbook Pro 2.5 GHz Core 2 Duo, 3 GB Ram and NVIDIA 8600m GT 512MB RAM.

    In absence of any responses, I managed to fix this issue with a reinstall of Final Cut Studio.
