Weird little playback bug

[Joe Jenkins]

I’m having the same problem – can anyone attach the FCP 7.0.0 DesktopVideoout.component file or provide a link to it? I went to finish an edit on a Wedding video today and my playback was a mess after the last update to 7.0.1

If someone emails it to me joe@nerdnet.com I’ll put it online, even 🙂

Cheers.

I have exactly the same problem, except that it started off by stuttering and then after I tried changing settings, became a freeze frame. It freezes the Canvas as well. So I have to switch of Desktop preview to work.

When I replace the DesktopVideoOut.component on mine with the one from the Install file, I’m afraid it still didn’t work.

Is there anything else I can try?

I’ve had to replace /library/quicktime/DesktopVideoOut.component (updated version 1.2.6) on both an OCTO mac and my Macbook Pro after running the Pro Applications Update 2009-01.

Just know that after you downgrade to the FCP 7 “DesktopVideoOut.component” version 1.2.5 your software update will want to reinstall the Pro Applications Update 2009-01 again – breaking desktop playback again – so you’ll have to ignore that update until Apple fixes the problem.

Here’s the file- You have to unzip it first before dragging it to
/library/quicktime

Hmm. Doesn’t work for mine.

What else could it be?

Yeah! Got it! Trash the preferences and then re-install the desktopvideoout.component!

Phew… was beginning to think I was going to have to go through the whole horrible routine of reinstalling everything.

Great work guys, I just made the fix and all is well.

Changing video component worked for me too, but not with the component given by Mathew Brodet. I went back to the installation disk and followed instructions on LAFCPUG on how to locate the component.
I coincidentally changed monitors at the same time and originally thought I’d bought a dodgy monitor.
Thanks

Has this bug been fixed yet? I just had to upgrade to Snow Leopard and now the fullscreen is stuttering again.
Thanks

currently on a MacBookPro, using FCP 7.0.1, ProResLT from Firewire (4 TB of incredible footage) and a simple DVI out to the monitor- things are getting simpler.

FYI, just followed the instructions above, with the download provided and it did the trick on my 15″ 2009 MBP that was doing the same thing….worked like a charm

all hail the Cow People!
