I just rendered everything and it made no difference. And yes, I trashed preferences, etc. I did check the Activity Folder and it seemed fine. I just installed 16 extra GB of RAM but of course FCP uses only 4.
Never had this before either.

“Are your other projects that load/play fine in DVCPROHD 1080p as well?” Yes.

“Have you done other projects similar to this?” Yes.

“Do you have tons of effects or processor/RAM intensive things going on?” Not really. Just some titles and one composite that is 4 layers and one that is two.

“What are your drive speeds? Working off internals or external drives? WD 6 TB Firewire external drive 800 MB/sec.-used only 25 GB. 1 TB internal HD-used only 76 GB.

“What iMac and what processor, etc?” 27″ iMac (mid 2011) 3.4 Ghz Intel Core i7, 20 GB RAM

It’s not big or complicated project. Maybe rendering will help.
