Video Jumps with HVX200 Footage??

According to apple, this is the only known solution.

Is that your problem? Did you import that footage with anything other than FCP 5.1.1? Just curious.

I don’t have time to read that link, and say how it applies to what I’ve experienced, but, I’ll just say that I had the same problem. The project I was working on was 720p 24N, and I had all the sequence presets correct, and everything. What it came down to was that, I think I started the project in 5.0, and then upgraded to Universal (5.1). Seems like that’s what made it weird.

The cure to the symptom was to throw a filter (say, 3-way color corrector, without any changes, if none are necessary) on the clips, and get it to render the whole string of shots; then they’d all play through smoothly. Plus, too, if I put a filter on an interview, and rendered it, it effectively shifted the frames of the footage (which is precisely why the rendered transitions jump; it’s because the frames it renders in it are a few frames off from the ones before it), and made the audio go out of sync by 3-4 frames – I would therefore have to slip the audio a few frames under any interviews with video renders to get it back in sync.

Annoying, but there are workarounds.

Try Purging your render files!!!

sounds as if you are working across multiple sets of renders…

Oh, have no doubt, I tried purging the render files. Something was biffed with the project itself; and what I did was the quickest workaround in that particular instance.
