Thanks for the clarification.
What I’m doing is basic stuff. I cut a 30 second promo laying the video on the a/b tracks and a couple tracks of audio. No fx or dissolves, just timing it out. I then export the timeline to AE to make it pretty 8>)

When I open it in AE around 20% of the clips have frames that… stutter. It could be 3 seconds into a clip then it will jump back a couple frames, then jump around two or three frames then play back fine. The video plays fine in the Project window, and this does not happen with any other video I bring into my machine.

any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jeremy

This happens even with straight cuts… It might even happen when I import the video into AE (not using the Media 100 exporter), but I nee to confirm this.

I will check on the AE exporter.

Thanks,

Ha, I didn’t even have the app installed! It was one of those things on the back burner that got forgotten! That worked, Thanks for your help!

Sweet! Thanks. Oddly, it was set to output black. I changed it to bars and it worked. When in a changed it back to black… it still worked! Cool.

Thanks,

Thanks for that tip.

and to add another twist, I tried to render a Jpeg still of my Ribbon to preview. It took nearly 10 minute! in any other comp it would only take 3-4 seconds.

[Jeremy Rowell]

Good ideas…
I have made it purge every 10 frames, lowered the max ram and disabled disk cache. No luck.
I have other projects that render this comp size out without issue, it just seems to be this project.
Also, I played around and it seems that it does not matter if I render 10 seconds or 10 frames… it still takes 30 minutes to finalize. The info pain does not give any information when it’s in the stage. I’m not sure what processes take place when it’s being finalized, but this project no likey that phase.

Anyone know a way to take a comp in a project and make it a new project, with all files and all attributes?

Thanks for the help. I’ve tried rendering to my “Huge” SCSI raid my internal raid and my mac drive. All of my other projects render flawlessly, so I’m ruling out a hard drive issue. I’m rendering out as a QT animation (which I have to convert to AVI in QT PRO, but that another story) There is no audio.
There are 31 layers. 18 are text, 11 are a logo, 1 is a psd and 1 a jpg bkg that I move around. No crazy effects, just animating the motion and opacity. Rendering half the comp yields the same result… a quick render with a long wait for it to finalize (if it does at all).

I can’t think of anything else… let me know if you have any more questions.

Thanks again for taking the time to help.

Thanks to the Media 100 Tech support line for helping me out! In the end, it was not pretty (and cost my company a bit o cash!). I had to get a new board, as the analog side of mine went bad. There seems to be a shortage of these things, they are no longer made. I hope I do not run into this issue again! System was down three weeks and Wick solved my issue! Thanks Wick!

So I wiped the Mac and did a complete clean install.
Media 100 10.1.4
OS 10.4.11
QT 7.0

Started Media 100 and I get the same @$#% thing! CPU speed error, slow-mo choppy video, static out of composite out, and nothing out of component out. Hardware test passes. What gives? Is it time to call tech support? Any Ideas? This has been a rock solid machine for a long time, and all of a sudden it has gone down. I tried re-seating all of the cards, still no dice. Any help would be appreciated!
