On two machines – one is an internal 4 drive Raid5 with a highpoint card. And the other is a Caldigit HDPro with an external PCIe connection.
On my office machine, this is very bad on multiclips with the Open Sync setting turned on. I don’t recall if this has happened in the past since I don’t work a ton with multiclips. If i turn off the sync, then the mixer works 90% of the time. But something must be wonky…
And my home system, even when not working in multiclip, the audio mixer fader causes dropped frames as well.
I’m starting to wonder if the graphics card has something to do with it because the performance seems to be better when FCP is gathered on one monitor vs two monitors.
Have you experimented with one vs two monitors?
Thanks,

Any updates to this thread? I am experiencing the same prob here except now it’s a year later than the last post. I’m on FCP 7.0.3, OS 10.6.4, tried with 16GB and 12GB of RAM – all matching pairs of 4GBs.
Editing 720p59.94 with a Kona3 v8.0. FXFactory 2.5.1.
I get dropped frames when I move the virtual faders. Have done all the usual steps, trash prefs, repair permissions, Diskwarrior – really stumped by this one….

Sounds like a traditional offline/online situation. Formats isn’t as much of a prob as frame rate. Do you have all sorts of frame rates to work with, 29.97, 24N, 60p, etc?
If it’s just a matter of formats but all rates are the same, then that’s not a huge deal.

Try backing off the RAM. Try it with just 2 sticks in. Our shop has 10 systems on 7 for about 6 months now and we’ve not had any problems.

Did you use the HDV easy setup and capture via firewire? If so, then that’s the window you see. If you use a capture card easy setup then you’ll prob see the old window.

The HDV capture window is different from the other formats. It is probably how the Log and Capture window will look for all formats in the future if and when the FCP team will implement it.
As it stands now, there is no way to turn off audio preview via the window, you just have to turn the volume down on the mac or run it into a mixer and turn down the pots for those channels in the mixer.

Yes, I understand your hesitancy towards a manufacturer not on your home turf. From the four models you listed, I’ve only seen the JVC and it looks great but the viewing angle is tiny. So if you will be the only person using it in your suite, then the viewing angle won’t be as much of an issue but if it will be a screening monitor for a few people then I really think the viewing angle will be an issue. Unless everyone swaps position so they can be dead center.
The Panasonic is good and lots of people use them as a client monitor to wow them but not quite a reference monitor.
