Thanks for getting back to me Jerry.. I’m using a Sony 1354Q monitor in my system. Here’s an update to my problem: I hooked up my e-Sata media drive to my Macbook Pro and opened the project, and tried rendering. The problem disappeared. I’m theorizing that the problem is with FCP itself since the program has been crashing, even when I throw out the preferences. This would also explain why my dissolves were exhibiting the problem when I rendered them (I asked this question about a week ago, no one came up with a solution).
What do you think? Should I uninstall FCP and reinstall from my discs? Also, can I upgrade FCP and Quicktime in the middle of a project?
