yes e you are right, just cant understand why a reformatted drive with a fresh os and fcp and no migrated files or apps plays with no problem with the dvi to vga adapter. but thanks again for solving the mystery

e
you nailed it! Thanks
one monitor was dvi to VGA (samsung). Guess now I just have to wait for the update to correct that.
Thanks again was driving myself crazy. -
Playing around with FCP7 on an external firewire drive with OS and migrated files/app’s from my macpro that wont work on my Macpro dual quad core, windows show up white.
Same external drive rebooted to my macbook pro 2.33mhz and FCP7 works fine there.So now I have a clean OS and FCP7 on my macpro internal drive with no migrated app’s/ files that works also. I can’t figure where the conflicts are.
hardware, software?
guess i wait for the update. -
Yes I notice the same thing with alpha and rgb albeit the image appeared with a red mask and was visible in pause and scrubbing only.
My monitors are attached via dvi
oddly enough I was able to digitize from a 1200a deck with no issues and I could see the images upon digitizing and the files seem fine when viewed in QuickTime -
also have this problem, did a separate system on a firewire drive and FCP7 worked fine then i migrated my files, back to white screen only. spoke to apple 4 times last suggestion after archiving the OS and installing FCP7 didn’t work was to erase my drive and start clean, works now but now i am not sure what conflicted. in the meantime i also installed on my macbook pro without a problem and i have all the same applications/extensions, etc that i have on my dual quadcore.

Quentin,
my stuttering issue disappeared when i opened a 720p 59.97 instead of 23.98 timeline and placed the all clips in there. Lots of rendering but the stutter was gone.
i had looked at the original files in Quicktime and there was no stutter on playback, i took one of the stuttering clips from the 720 23.98 timeline opened a new 720 23.98 sequence and the sequence asked me if i wanted to convert the sequence to match the file i clicked yes, and then i looked to see what the info on the new 1 clip sequence was and it told me 720 59.97. Since it played with no stutter i placed all clips in the that new sequence and once i rendered all was fine. in my case i generally shoot at 23.98 and digitize at 23.98, but on the varicam i shoot 60 fps for slomo and then i have to import all those frames as 59.97 and then use the panasonic plug in to bring those back to 23.98. perhaps you could open a sequence for the stuttering files and if they dont stutter place the rest of the clips in the sequence. good luck. -
Wayne,
thank you for a speedy reply. It is not the broadcast monitor I am viewing it is the monitors off of my final cut pro mac pro setup, and strange only a few clips flicker/stutter otherwise the rest are fine. Have uploaded 2 QT files to my public mobileme folder (bbdp) Elliptical has the stutter/strobe, elliptical 1 does not. The QT capture files play normal, no stutter. Not an editor, just a 30 yr+ plus camera guy shooting 24p for the last 6 years. Thanks for your time.
