    Hey FCP artists,

    been working on FCP 5 for awhile and have gotten to getting around issues pretty well, but this has be befuddled-

    Have a 3 minute sequence in timeline using DV50 settings. Everything fully rendered, saved, no other programs running. At about 2:12 into the sequence, the time marker keeps hitting a frame and stutters (a dropped frame) and then things played afterward are out of synch. I have since tried to adjust the following:

    -replaced the shot (where the stutter occurs) with quicktime movie of various codecs
    -rerender the audio
    -copy and paste the sequence contents into a new sequence
    -trashed preferences

    I finally made the portion of that timeline blank (removed both audio and video) and played it. It STILL hiccups on the frame in the timelines, even when NOTHING is there. I am at a loss and I’ll need to output this sequence to tape (no DVD compression). Has anyone ever seen this problem before? Aside from rebootting the whole dang G5, any ideas to remedy? I have a client coming down to look at this soon and could use some help quick. thanks!!

    Rick

    The sequence might be hiccuping on an upcoming clip, rather than the one it is currently playing. Try replacing the piece after that location, rerendering it, etc.

    you’re a lifesaver,

    looks like that was it. no rhyme or reason, but a tweak of the audio 5 clips down did the job. I’ll work through the other bugs. thanks again.

    Your thorough post suggested the answer. When you said it still had problems when the clip was removed, I could give you a suggestion from my experience.

    Pat yourself on the back for utilizing the “scientific method”!!
