Thanks for all the help Dave. I do appreciate it.

If I find a solution, I will follow up if anyone else is experiencing the same issue.

Hi Dave –

I copied the file onto a Mac Air…running QT 10.1…and the file plays fine. So, I’m not sure I’ve really “solved” anything, except to determine that the file itself is “fine”. I’ve also viewed the file on a smartphone…without issue.

So knowing it’s a playback issue…do you know of any root causes of this except…to guess my system needs to become a boat anchor?

Good Afternoon Dave –

I gave that a “whirl” as well…with the same results.

A new and interesting observation however…playback in QuickTime 10.1 seems fine (playback framerate also seems to be locked in at 29.97 with QT 10.1 …whereas in QT 7.7 it fluctuates).

Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

Yes…when re-imported into FCP, the stuttering file…no longer stutters.

Hi Dave –

I have tried several in an attempt to fix this problem.

Footage was shot 720p 30 AVCHD on a Panasonic 130A, footage was converted to ProRes 422 LT 29.97, sequence settings 29.97, Compressor settings ProRes 422 LT.

I have also tried encoding footage at 59.94, and using a 59.94 sequence/compressor settings.

Same issue upon export.

Thank you.

Thank you for the quick response!

Yes. The files were encoded to ProRes 422 LT. I also tried 422 HQ, through both FCP itself and PavTube converter.

I have tried both compressing all frames and self contained movie.

I have noticed on playback, when monitoring framerate in QT, that it seems to vary and not hold true to the assigned framerate. I don’t know if that’s just the way QT is or some other issue. Again, the movie when opened within FCP, plays fine without stutter.

Thank you again.

Paul
