Thanks, David. I set the playback video quality to low, and I’m still having the same issue. It plays back fine until I hit a piece of unrendered media. Even after I render, it still has trouble playing back. It’s as if it gets tripped up and can’t recover. The strange thing is that playback through the kona card is fine. I did a disk speed test on the media drive and it’s showing read and write speeds at around 150 MB/s

You’re right. They look terrible when played back in the dv sequence but for some reason when I export to .m2v using compressor and burn to DVD they look fine. It must just be something with the real time playback. Thanks.

Thanks so much. I see what you’re saying. They play in a DV sequence (DV NTSC compressor) but it really compresses and muddies up the image. I’ve tried a number of other codec timeline settings but that seems to be the only one that will give me the ability to play back w/o rendering. I’m saving out as uncompressed pict files in photoshop (and they look great) but once they’re in the timeline they start breaking up. FCP video playback is set to high. Any ideas…?

The stills didn’t come from HD video. They were created in photoshop at HD size. I don’t have raided drives and shouldn’t need them, as I’m dealing with still files, not video with high data rates. I’ve tried re-sizing to DV 720×480 (720×534, sq. pix, in photoshop) but still no luck. Still frames match exactly to seq settings, but still show that they need to be rendered. Same goes for tiff and jpeg. I just need to figure out a way to work with stills w/o rendering – any help would be appreciated.

G5, dual 2.5, 4 gigs of RAM, fcp 5.1.4. Seems like my system is plenty fast, it’s just a matter of figuring out a way to work with still files so that they don’t need to be rendered in the timeline. I’ve tried creating tiffs and changing my seq. compression to match, but still no luck.
