would you like to tell us the names of these plug-ins you speak of or are they secret?
(Adobe or FCP?)

I’ve been having the same exact problem.
after reading around and tinkering i kinda figured it out.
this is a little more of a temporary fix but it’ll do.

so my video has all the options in the sequence settings. (sequence>settings)
the ones that FCP picks for you are i guess the way the video is naturally because it dosent have to render the film. I realized after awhile that if i can change any sort of options on the film so it always has to render then it dosent skip!

so i had to change the codec from
H.264 to XDCAM(720p 30f)

obvisouly the codec i changed it to will be different depending on preferences and what type of recording gear and settings you have.(my camera is 720p and 30 FPS) so it’s a little bit of a pain to render EVERYTHING, but its much better than not even being able to see what your doing.

if anyone has a fix for this that involves not having to render ALL video, please let me know as it would be a little bit of a time saver.

thanks.
