It’s playing back then lower than what the meters said during playback of a tape in the log and capture window?

Try an archive and install of the OS… the driver for the graphics card may be missing? You are right though, you don’t need a super fast graphics card for FCP, and yours should work fine.

Teranex conversion will most likely blow away any other solution.

Don’t forget these boards are 99% problems, and not successes… so here’s one, and if you do a clean install as described above… you don’t have nearly the problems.
I just finished 120+ videos on a totally clean install, ran 14 hrs/day, and crashed exactly once. Tiger rocks, helps find files and more…

That might differ somewhat from machine to machine, but figure that if external audio and video is in sync, you leave it alone… right?

Might be a good question to post in the QuickTime forum here…

Slower renders than a dual G5.
Run it in Tiger too, and when you install it do an erase and install on your startup disk of Tiger, upgrade to 10.4.2, and QT 7.0.1. Then install FCP 5 and run Software update again, repair permissions and edit. Figure though, that if you upgrade, you should be saving your pennies for a new Mac to do it on… (not that it won’t run on your machine but read on…) reason is, that the new render engine used with motion effects in FCP 5 can demand a lot of time if you use it’s highest qualtiy setting, which will be a much higher quaity render.. just slow (better processing=more time). I’d also think that doing multicam on a G4 is going to be less than perfect too.

Post which versions of FCP, QT, and OS you are running. If you upgraded to Tiger, post how you did it… if you just ran “upgrade” you are in for a lot of problems… I’ve worked with 30MB files… no problem, just sort of long to save… lol…

You have to have enough unused media to perform a transition… either capture more of each clip or delete some of each side until you have half of what the duration of the transition is unused in the timeline…

Probably easiest way to do this is speed up the video after capture… a lot… would be 30 times faster or so? so 3000% if my math serves…
