speed issues
I have shot on a DVX in advanced 24p mode for years. All of the sudden, in my viewer- my clips are playing incredibly fast.
The weird thing is, some will play fine at one point- then the next time I go to play the clip- it plays at twice the speed.
I am in the easy set-up for advanced pull down, all of my capture and sequence settings look to be correct.
What could be causing this glitch? I am working in FCP 6.

The first thing to always try is to Quit FCP, Restart the Mac, Open your FCP project and try again.
Next:
THE FOLLOWING COMES FROM THE KEN STONE WEBSITE:
“Over 5,000 years ago Confucius wrote: ‘If you are toiling away, you have changed nothing and FCP heads South on you, [starts behaving in strange ways] then it is time to trash your FCP Preferences.’ ”Click the following link for instructions.

A great way to do this is to use “FCP Rescue” a free Apple Script that will Trash the Preferences for you (and restore nearly all of your user settings afterward).
There are versions for FCP (Pro) & FCE (Express) and a new one for FCP 5.Download these free Apple Scripts at

So I’ve tried all that. No dice.
Now, I’ve re-imported everything on a friend’s computer into Final Cut 5 and it’s all the right speed.
As soon as I took it to my machine, and updated the files to run in FCP 6- the speed issues are back.
This is killing me. Any insight?
