Activity Forums Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy Video Playback Fast

  • Video Playback Fast

    Posted by Joseph Nilo on May 25, 2007 at 5:10 pm

    I just installed Final Cut Studio 2 and now having an odd problem — the video on the timeline and in the viewer all play back at a fast rate (2x? 3x?) while the audio plays back correctly.

    The only other variable is that I’ve recently added a SATA PCi Card and external SATA array — though video on other drives plays back the same odd way.

    I have a PowerMac G5 Quad Core with 4.5 GB RAM–

    Thanks in advance–

    Are there any speed change effects at all in your timeline? Been seeing some other posts about speed changes going a bit screwy if a project was updated from FCP 5 to 6.

    We haven’t done the upgrade yet partially for this reason.

    No speed changes / effects at all on the timeline.

    I should add it also is affecting all projects, regardless of format (I have DV, HDV, and DVCPRO HD timelines all doing the same thing)

    Problem fixed while on phone with Apple tech support — it seems it was a strange anomaly (their words exactly) in which a project “updated” to FCP 6 exhibits this behavior– upon dragging an “updated” FCP5 sequence into a new, fresh FCP6 project, problem solved.

    And, oddly, that act fixed whatever was broken in the original “broken” project.

    I’ve learned to not ask too many questions in these sorts of situations and just accept it — my zen approach to Apple. 🙂
