Timeline playback issues
I’m running into an issue with playback. At random points during playback on my timeline, my video will show blocks of color on the screen and the audio will make a loud scratch sound. The video will either continue playing after that or the program will crash. Mixing down my sequence has not helped. Any other suggestions?

What are you playing aback through a capture card?
Do these artifacts appear in the quicktimes themselves or is it FCP specific?

I’m playing back through a Blackmagic card.
The quicktimes are fine- it’s only during playback on the timeline that I get the artifacts and horrible scratch noise. And not always in the same place. It seems to get worse the longer I play the timeline…

I would uninstall the blackmagic drivers. Zap your PRAM, shut down, reseat the card, then reinstall the drivers. SOunds like some sort of loose connection to me.

I agree with Jeremy that it might be a loose connection, but before doing all that, check your cables and just power down everything, including your monitor, speakers, et al, and then restart a minute or two later.
What may be the problem is a filter is putting a superwhite area large enough to cause the card to spit, or to cause the monitor to freak. You might just skip to that area and check your scopes.

Thank you for the suggestions. I tried shutting down, turned off all external drives, the monitors and the speakers and then restarted in a couple minutes. That worked! I had tried a simple restart before but that didn’t do the trick.
Thank you, thank you for the help.
