Hi,
I just came across your post.
I am just preparing for a 8min. stopmotion project in fcp4.5 myself. I had attempted it once already but decided to abandon it and start fresh as I was having issues with stuttering playback that I could not figure out.

I have completed a couple small projects with fcp but consider myself a beginner level user.

My stills are 1280×720
I am on a G5 dual 2.5 w/ 2.5 GB ram
I have a 500 GB external fw drive

I was thinking of making qt movies of each shot etc. as you have.
I am wondering about optimizing fcp for a smooth stopmotion edit.

My concerns are the sheer amount of files etc. and getting smooth playback.

Do you have any advice on setting up, project settings and organizing etc?

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed
