Hi-

I’m having the same issue, but oddly enough everything worked fine before I reinstalled FCP 7.0.1. I have a Mac Pro dual 2.66 and use a DellE248WFP for my timeline monitor and an LGW2453V for my playback monitor. Selecting “Digital Cinema Desktop Main” and making sure “All Frames” were selected, I got flawless full-screen playback on my HDV 108024p project/sequences.

I re-installed the entire Final Cut Suite 3 previously as I was getting some crashes upon quitting….and now the exact same settings and sequences only skip, as Nick mentioned. Also, when I try “Digital Cinema Desktop Preview Main”, I get the same result on my other monitor. When I escape out of that mode and go back to View-External Video–it is reset back to “off”!

I’ve tried switching my monitor configuration and then have the playback issue on my Dell instead of my LG, so I know it’s not a monitor setting or cable issue.

My project EasySetup matches my sequences and media-set to HDV1080p24 Firewire Basic.

Does anyone know if anything external to Final Cut Pro could be affecting this? I’m running QuickTime 7.6.4, but I think that’s what I had previously. I just updated my Flip4Mac, but I don’t think that would be what’s causing problems.

I realize I can re-install again, but I noticed that hasn’t worked with some people who have posted about this problem.

Thanks!
