There is a tick box in the Settings FCP.
User Settings_clips match sequence.
try it

What codec did you use shooting? What HDV material? How did you capture the clips?

Try it, the jpeg works fine in FCP. Photos that size take a bit of time to work in FCP because of the render times with a motion effect.

Good luck

Thanks Andy, thanks Bob,

I’ll try both.

Hi Sala,

what you need is Tech Tool Pro. It’s a very good professional tool to detect hardware and system problems. To me it sounds that you have got bad ram, but this is only a guess. You have to run the tech tool via DVD on your mac.
The software is about 200 bucks, worth every penny!

I have had a go with macfuse plus ntfs-3g.
It’s for free and it works.

Thanks a lot

There is a wonderful tool: Denoiser from Magic Bullet.

We all love a “Clean install” !

[Rainer Wirth]

You shouldn’t have a problem. Check the specs (Hardware) before updating and make a clean install (separate disc, new OSX, everything from scratch, copy the FCP files, leave the existing FCP6 files untouched)

best wishes

How do you capture?
I would stick to the original format. The rendering processes when you have to capture all the material again takes longer. It depends what your show looks like. Do you have a lot of graphics included, do you have to do things in motion, etc.
If its a single show just cuts and dissolves keep the 1080p codec. The other thing is progressive to interlaced. What is your final output? If it is a dvdSD then you should go to dvcpro50 and finish in this fomat.
