Well Spotlight indexing has been known problem for good while. It is the DHCP Polling no one has ever written about, that is why I thought I’d better mention it. But I know one thing, FCStudio 2 is running like a champ since I assigned a manual DHCP IP address.

Stay in Touch on your issue.

Hi Matt,
I was plague with the same issues you are describing, dropping frames with Leopard 10.5.4 and FCP 6.x.x. I also tried using the Tiger version backup and it worked just fine also. I thought maybe it was QT, but that wasn’t it either. I couldn’t find anything in the log files etc.

I found the culpit to the drop frames during playback by complete accident. I had loaded the application Little Snitch for another reason, but left the Little Snitch Monitor running while running FCStudio 2. Since I have dual monitors, I had the real estate to leave it up and running on the 2nd screen.

Everytime the playback would bail out, with the drop frame message, the same network entry was logging in my little snatch window monitor. I thought that was kind of funny, so I turned off my Ethernet connection.

No more dropping frame problems. The final fix I performed to stop the problem was to go in and change the Ethernet connection from DHCP to DHCP manually and assign a DHCP IP address from my router 10.21.xx.xxx, using a high number for the fourth set of number. Like 10.xx.xx.200.

No longer does FCStudio 2, go out checking. No longer are these funny entries coming up on my Little Snatch monitor and all the drop frames during playback, no longer occurs. Now I enjoy using FCStudio 2

If there needs to be further discussion on this, feel free to call me at my office, after 8am EST during the week.

Hope it will help you, I have never seen this fix listed on any forum or board anywhere, so give it a whirl and see if it fixes your issue also. Good Luck

First of all, can we all play in the sandbox nicely and stop beating a bigger drum.

When I want the final file to be Flash using FCP, I just output normally to QT movie and use the application “Visual Hub” to convert it to a Flash Movie or any other format I want. Nothing technical, just straight old doing it.

I got tired of using Compressor and it’s outcome, I just make a QT file of my work for the web and then use a little application called Visual Hub. It converts to many different formats and the outcome has seemed very good, with many options to choose from.

You can read more about VisualHub at

I have an example of it’s output at of mine

I have been using Canon for a number of years and started with a XL1. I have now had my XL2 since the first day it came out and it works beautiful. I did have one problem with it, I tried a new power arrangement on my camera crane and blew the boards out, this was not a Canon problem. They charged the flat $250 service charge, since it was out of warranty and I did that via credit card

So the moral to this story was, that I wanted to say something about service for the Canon Pro Camera Line. I Fed-X it to Canon NJ service center at 5pm Monday an it arrived at 930am the next morning, they made their paperwork intake on the first day, it was benched and fixed on day two, replacing to boards and made the UPS out of NJ that evening and back to me by 1030am on Wednesday, day three.

So my real question is will Sony be that quick? Thanks Canon for taking care of your pro users.

Thanks for my two cent

Here is the link for downloading 7.3.1 QT, if you need it

Hi Lou,
Well am not sure what is really the best way, am sure many on here will have ideas. Myself, I would just wipe the drive and reload Leopard, see what version QT loads with it and then reload FCP and fly, may be the fastest, unless you have allot of other things on your computer.

If you have a second drive or external drive, I would Carbon Copy (Application) your present drive first.

I believe the Leopard 10.5 came with 7.3.1 QT as the load, I also know that 7.4.1 QT works with FCP too. But 7.3.1 is the safest at this point.

If you don’t want to go down that route, write me at video7105@comcast.net and I will pass on maybe some alternatives.

Like someone told me one day, we (videographer/editors) are our worst critics and it keeps us from getting past the technical aspects of this business….. and getting the job done sooner.
