    [Michael Black FCP] “Not much point in up-res-ing the footage when it looks good playing at 1920×1200. “

    I think this might have something to do with it. I would put the monitor back at full resolution for the 30″, then I would just use the Raw function of the cinema desktop diplay. This will display your video 1:1 and blackout the rest of the screen. You might have to reaarrange which ports your monitors are hooked up to in order to get the image on the proper side.

    Hey –
    I have been having the exact same problem. I’m cutting a feature on a 8 core 3.2 ghz mac pro with 8 gig of ram.

    I have my timeline, canvas etc. on my left monitor (23” apple cinema display) and then i have my browser on the right monitor (also a 23” apple display). I use the right screen as a client monitor when reviewing.

    Out of nowhere it started to studder/jitter (with NO errors/dropped frames etc.) when i go into the digital cinema desktop preview on my right monitor. If I move the canvas window from the left side over to my right screen and then do the preview – it runs fine. So it seems it cant handle playing the canvas and the digital cinema desktop preview at the same time on two screens.

    I’m cutting red footage that has been converted to apple prores HQ – 2048 x 1024.

    Again, everything was working fine for a good month and then all of the sudden i ran into this. I had recently ran the software update, so it would seem that is part of the problem.

    Have you figured it out on your end yet?

    Got the fix for all of you. In “library” folder on the Macintosh HD drive go into the “Quicktime” folder. Delete the “DesktopVideoout.component” file. Replace that file with the same file from Final Cut Pro 7.0. Be sure to be logged in as a administrator. If you need this file email me and I will send it.

    Cool! Where is that file in FCP 7.0? I mean, you have to have that installed somewhere, right? Because you are removing the one from the UPDATE…so where are you getting the original to replace?

    Just curious. GREAT fix…

    Nice work, Matthew! I’ll try to post the word on the other forums.

    Hallelujah! It worked. A full uninstall and re-install…. removing graphics cards… replacing graphics cards… all because of one misbehaving 95 kb QuickTime file!

    Shane, can you pass the good word over to the LAFCPUG forum you linked me to yesterday? I don’t have an account there (probably should though… I go to the meetings…). Thanks!
