Anyone ever come up with something regarding this? Having the same issue, whats really odd is it plays fine in my source monitor, but once put in ANY timeline no matter that the settings it creates a very jerky animation….any help would be appreciated.

Great post…..Im sure part of the issue Im having is with the size of these projects…they are huge…but its a documentary with tons of footage, and we have already split this thing into over 20 projects….a very different way to organize to be sure…a bit clunky for my taste…but like I said, I love FCP and if it were my money its the only system I would invest in at the moment.
I get testy with people making it sound like its perfect in every way and the only issues are the people trying to edit with them, ask a feature film editor that has worked on large films with more than one editor on Unity if they think there are any issues with FCP…Im always pushing to try and edit a feature in FCP, but it is a whole other way of thinking through your workflow…anyways…good honest post.

[Dean Stapleton] “What are some of the biggest issues (problems) that you have with FCP?”
FANBOYS that assume too much, come on here and ATTACK others for stating an opinion, and claim to be working on the next big studio feature with FCP and have talked the studio into using Color for DI…come on….lets have some sense of realism here….IMDB doesnt lie.
Walter Biscardi “Color is an amazing application that can rival a daVinci in the right hands.”
Walter Im curious what feature your doing? What studio is it for?

I use both Avid and FCP regularly on projects. I have a love/hate relationship with both systems…FCP is very flexible, from the way it uses media, to the interface…very user friendly and a dozen ways to do the same thing depending on what your most comfortable with, this however is a double edged sword…due to this IMHO there are constant issues arising specifically stability.
I am finishing up a 2 year documentary in FCP, I have all the biggest and best hardware, smoking fast RAID doing 540MB/s Kona3 blah blah blah…this documentary is DV mind you, but if I try and skim around my timeline to fast, watch out, Im begging for it to crash hard…and it does…multiple times a day…FCP seems horrible on longer projects…not sure why but it just does…Avid just doesnt crash as much on long form projects…does it crash… for sure, but not the way my FCP does…also this “project” has been growing out of multiple “projects” over the years, if I need to go to an old cut from an older project that is also large, instant hard crash…and when it crashes it doesnt even remember where my windows were set up for dual screen edit….I find myself trashing prefrences a lot.
The trim mode in FCP is basically worthless…its like they looked at AVid and said we can do that, then decided to put a 2 year old kid on the task of implementing it…I dont get it…can I SEE the tracks as I trim them…please?
This said, I love FCP..I really do…FX keyframing in FCP blows AVid out of the water, audio mixing and editing although a lot of people will disagree with me I think is better in FCP, open timeline that you can just grab things and manipulate in FCP is great(Avid segment mode…ugh)….
Bottom line, I use what will do the job best at the time, or if its a feature, the studios pretty much make you use Avid, although that is starting to change VERY slowly. From an investment point of view hands down IMHO FCP is the way to go…you really cant beat the price point for what kind of quality you can crank out…just be ready to turn into a video/computer tech…cause you will have issues and the only saving grace is the Cow….:) Hope I didnt ramble to much…I need sleep…good luck.
