I don’t think that will be good for running FC.7.
Even if you are not using third part plugins, many of the FC.7 effects are “FxPlug”, that works on the GPU.
The MBPs that I know, have two graphic cards. The Intel one is used for normal operations, but when there is any intensive graphic task (display or processing), the system switch to the other card. NVIDIA on my computer.

If you are using for the background some kind of H264/Mp4/AVCHD video, thats normal.

That has been shoot with low shutter speed.
You can get that with some strobe and adding motion blur, or with something like the Sapphire “Time Average”.

I don’t catch it.
FC play at standard time-bases.
If you just eliminate frames, the movie will speed up when played at the standard time-base.
If you wan’t the movie to play at normal speed but looks like a stop-motion movie, you need to eliminate frames but also to repeat the previous frames to feel the place of those eliminated.Speeding up the movie and slowing it down the same amount (keeping “Frame blending” unchecked), will do that. You may need to slow it down more.

Two easy solutions:
– Speed up the footage 200% (uncheck “Frame blending”), nest the clip and slow it down 50%, UNCHECKING the “Frame Blending” (important).
– Use the “Strobe” Filter.

[Jim Ramus] “Well actually, I’ve done about 100 AVCHD videos in FCP 6 using Log and Transfer for about 6 months now with no problem at all with audio drifting out of sync or anything for that matter. This was first time I had a problem and maybe last time for a long time since this was an unusual situation. “
Well, then you are editing Prores, no AVCHD.
But that wasn’t was I wanted to know.
I wanted to know if you where in NTSC land, and you where editing on a sequence that has a different time-base than the default sequence, because there is a well know bug that may puts audio out of sink in that case.
When your default sequence (the one you get when you make a “New Sequence”) is (for example) 29.97fps, and you import audio, FC will treat that audio as it was 29,97fps, so if you bring that audio to a sequence that is 23,98fps, the audio will go out of sync.So if your default sequence has a different time base than that AVCHD/Prores you are editing, when you reimport the AIFF from LEVELATOR, the audio will drift off sync in the time-line.

No idea why, but left-click the .psd on the time-line, and Remove Attributes > Basic Motion + Distort.

[Teagan Bartholomew] “I changed the sequence to ProRes and now it works a lot better.”
Make sure that you also check one of the YUV rendering options.

[Jim Ramus] “they are AVCHD files.”
That is the problem with the out of sync audio and the long processing time.
The format is not supported in FC.

Beside that, when you conform a sequence to H264, the sequence is rendered in 8b/RGB.
So the pictures goes YUV > RGB > YUV.
That’s to be avoided.
