  • Stuttering Timeline Playback

    Posted by Mike Petty on June 13, 2011 at 2:05 pm

    Playback in my timeline is all of the sudden stuttering/jittery. Especially noticeable on dolly shots or pans. I am working in ProRes LT. I have trashed prefs…restarted…no joy – the problem persists. When I output to a QT movie the footage is fine…no stutter.

    For the record this is canon 7D footage transferred in the Canon Plug in. That may be the issue. I have MB Grinder but I never use it. I am working on a big Mac Pro with lots or memory.

    Very annoying. Any ideas, kids?

    I just dropped the clips into the timeline, got the query to match the footage and proceeded so that should not be a problem, right. Could it be an RT problem?

    You didn’t mention the Hard drive you are playing the media off of…

    The hard drive is an internal project drive with a ton of space. I think I may have found the problem. I believe the timeline may have been out of whack with the clip speed. Can’t remember what I had it at before but when I dumped the prefs I reset the timeline at XDCAM EX/30fps (for my main work camera.

    The clips in question are 23.98 PRo Res LT.

    I just checked the sequence video settings & Easy Setup and reset them for Pro Res 422…

    Smoothed out.

    It’s alway something. When is FCP X coming???
