It’s true. I’ve been editing different 1920×1080 HD footage (ProRes422 and Apple Intermediate Codec) and both are playing back great. I do appreciate the suggestion to upgrade to an eSata drive. I’ve since purchased a drive and the eSata card for my laptop is on its way. In the meantime, my MacBookPro and Firewire 800 connection are doing the trick. Always good to know what I can get by with but what is the best set-up as well. Thanks!

Great. This is sounding positive so far.
The only info I have from the client is that it’s 1080p footage. I’ll get codec info before committing. Sounds like uncompressed will not work? But ProRes is safe? Just trying to determine what my limits are with my current set up…and what my options are for improving it.
Love the Cow. Thank you.

I got the same message after changing the speed of a clip. I copied the assets into a new timeline and was able to render without a problem.

I continue to have the same problem Sarah describes. I have plenty of space left on my drive. And even tried copying the media file to the hard drive. The playback continues to stutter, the audio give this loud blow out sound, and FCP continues to crash.
I’ve experienced this on a G4 with FCP 5 and a G5 with FCP6 and with different projects. The only thing that stays the same is the hard drive.
A previous suggestion was to shut down and disconnect everything attached to the computer. I did so and that worked temporarily. It’s not working anymore.
Any suggestions? I can’t work under these conditions.
thank you.

Thank you for the suggestions. I tried shutting down, turned off all external drives, the monitors and the speakers and then restarted in a couple minutes. That worked! I had tried a simple restart before but that didn’t do the trick.
Thank you, thank you for the help.

I’m playing back through a Blackmagic card.
The quicktimes are fine- it’s only during playback on the timeline that I get the artifacts and horrible scratch noise. And not always in the same place. It seems to get worse the longer I play the timeline…

Well, I had exported lower field first (because it was BetaSP footage). When I exported upper field first, it resolved the problem.
-
It doesn’t seem to have made a difference. I think either way, it was resolved via Compressor.

BetaSP

The BetaSP source was captured into Avid Adrenaline. I exported the sequence from the Avid by cropping from 720×486 to 720×480 and I chose lower/even field…uncompressed.
Someone in another forum suggested using CBR instead of VBR. Any thoughts? I’ve also been informed that the 2pass in Compressor 2.0 has a bug.
I’m sitting down with the client tomorrow, any help would be greatly appreciated!
