videomaterial moving in different way (discontinuously) suddenly

[Sarah Leisdovich] “I though this was enough. Am I wrong?”

Yep, as Walter suggests, and the reason I asked, you’re well beyond that point at which FCP begins to behave crazily.

Hard drives are really inexpensive now, so run to Staples if you have to and get yourself whatever firewire drive they have on sale…

Ok than, I’ll see what I can do to get more space…
Thanks a lot for your help, guys!

I continue to have the same problem Sarah describes. I have plenty of space left on my drive. And even tried copying the media file to the hard drive. The playback continues to stutter, the audio give this loud blow out sound, and FCP continues to crash.

I’ve experienced this on a G4 with FCP 5 and a G5 with FCP6 and with different projects. The only thing that stays the same is the hard drive.

A previous suggestion was to shut down and disconnect everything attached to the computer. I did so and that worked temporarily. It’s not working anymore.

Any suggestions? I can’t work under these conditions.

thank you.

Hi!
Did you already trash your settings (like Walter decribed in one of the replies to my mail)? Because this was definitely part of the solution for me!
Hopefully it works for you as well…
Good luck.
