Sorry, don’t have the deck. The client shot the footage and gave it to me as files to edit. I will have to do both a DVD and exported Quicktimes. I’m most perplexed about the letter box thing most of all. It seems that even when I select export as standard def 4:3 with letter box cropping, I still manage to get a stretched image without letter box? What steps during the export (either using compressor or Quicktime conversion) am I missing?

Hmm. I think you’re on to something. The slug generated is lower field and my timeline is 24P. Yet when I took away the slug and just added a dissolve up, I still get the stutters?
-
Let me throw this one at you Gary. I did what you recommended. checked the render control and the setting were indeed set to highest both in sequence and user preferences. I trahsed the reder files and re-rendered. Interesting! The video to video dissolves looked much smoother, but the fade from “slug” black to video still was very stuttery. What’s your take on that?
-
I tried it and it’s still stutters. I even downloaded the latest drivers for 24p workflow and tried using a 24p video playback setting in Final Cut. tried different 1080 i and p setting on the Kona and wht I found was the card only plays back when you have it on 1080i 29.97. So that didn’t work.

No our monitor is older and does not support 24P and I understand the pulldown issue for playback. Plus, I have been making sure the dissolves are rendered. But still we are getting a very stuttered dissolve, so something’s not right either in the playback setting, sequence, or Kona. I’ve made sure to match the sequence setting exactly to the XD Cam footage. Could it possibly be something to do with the video playback settings being 1080i 29.97 conflicting with the sequence settings of 1080p 24?

Got it! It works. Thank you both.

Working in FCP 5.1.4 and running a Kona LHe card. I restarted the computer and the Sony presents showed up. As I said, the footage was shot HQ quality at 35Mbps (VBR) at 24fps. I found a preset for this and I can import and edit just fine, but the Kona card doesn’t seem to want to downconvert and display playback on my broadcast monitor. Is there a compatability issue with Kona and Sony on this I wonder or maybe a setting I’m missing?

Lots of tracks. But I’m just knocking in some b-roll on top of the sound bites I’ve already laid in so I’m not too worried about having to mess with the timing yet. So I did a test and exported the entire sequence audio as AIFF 16 bit and brought it back in to see if playback improved. It didn’t, so I’m thinking it’s now something to do with either my system performance or perhaps just the size of the project because I relly haven’t done anything different than I usually do in terms of presets, digitizing, etc. Not really sure what’s going on but thanks for your time anyway.

Thanks Enge. It is a big project. About 25 minutes with lots of shots and sound bites so I think that’s pretty much the factor. I’m thinking of just exporting the whole program inside of FCP using export audio to AIFF at 16 bit and see what happens. Big work-around, but at this point????
