Thanks so much for the Trashing Prefs document. It is excellent and I really thought maybe that would be my solution.
I did everything as instructed on it. The only part I wasn’t 100% sure about was the External Editors tab page. I did not set it for anything since I wasn’t sure about it. I have set the scratch disk to an external HD I have hooked up. This HD is devoted exclusively to video and has 145GB available. . . . .plenty of space for my needs.
Everything looks right but the video still cuts out and is jerky when viewed on the TV Monitor. Computer monitor looks fine.
I wonder if there is something I overlooked when trashing preferences.
