Hey Mark,

Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah, you make a great point. For the record, I haven’t actually gotten into this habit yet, this was sort of a ‘cry for help’ before I succumbed. 🙂 Even after years of editing the proper way, it just seems so much easier!

On further thought, I suppose the real issue is the way the images are stored in their folders…maybe I’ll revisit that.

Thanks again,

Finding an interesting twist to this that I’m not quite sure about. I’ve looked around but don’t see it on the boards.

I have .mp4 footage from the Sanyo VPC-FH1 (H.264, 1920×1080, 59.94fps, 25mb/s).

I’m getting stuttering playback in the viewer in FCP (6.0.6), but no stuttering in Quicktime Player. Why would this be?

I’ve since transcoded to ProRes & it’s fine. Just curious, as I thought FCP and QT would have the same result in this case.

Hi,

Just wrapping this up in case anyone comes across the thread w/ the same problem.

Good news is a re-install fixed the problem.

Unfortunately, I have no idea why the problem occurred in the first place.

Hey Paul,

Thanks for the response. I’m finally back in the office after weeks of travel and, of course, in need of capturing. 🙂 The RAID array isn’t connected via Firewire, it’s eSATA. But, maybe the combination of the new striped RAID array and the FW connection from the camera is a similar situation?

I’ll have to do some testing to see what’s going on.

Thanks again,

Tony

Clean up entailed consolidating drives, which is why I’m not clear on what I could have affected. I thought I was being pretty careful around the OS and apps drive.

I did trash the com.apple.FinalCutPro.prefs file before posting and it didn’t help.

Is there any way to figure out why that menu entry would disappear?

I’m guessing a reinstall is in order but I’d really like to know what happened.
