Video Stutter
I am working on a promo in both final cut and after effects, I edited in FCP, and exported to AE where I added some graphics and effects. Everything seems fine until I export the video. Playing in quicktime and inside FCP, the video stutters and drops frames very bad. Playing the clip back in both preview and the timeline results in bad stutter or freezes in the video. Is this a problem with the video or system? I exported the video from AE as 1080 60i, and even as animation codec. is there a better codec to use? Everything is running off an new external Lacie drive with Firewire 800, on a new Macpro with 10gb ram. Is there a way to enhance performance in FCP and AE? What are the best settings for working with HDV content? What can I do about the dropped frames in FCP?

Try rendering in prores, not Animation.

That worked! Thanks, I guess I didn’t play around with the codecs enough, thought it might be a performance issue. Would you also suggest importing all my HDV footage as apples Pro Res or Intermediate codec into final cut?

Absolutely.

When importing as pro res, I noticed there is no capture screen to choose if you want 4 audio channels or not it just says to name the clip and captures after you click ok, can Pro Res or the intermediate codec capture 4 channels of audio? If so How?
