today, it seems to be a bit better.
i haven’t changed any settings, but the ‘dropouts’ happen much less frequently. maybe every 25-40 seconds, instead of every 2-3 seconds. the dropouts themselves still look the same, and still are 1.5-2 sec in duration themselves.
it seems to happen in every type of HD sequence. 720, 1080, 24p 30p 59.94, 23.98, etc.
SO weird. -
Callum,
thanks a lot for your help. much appreciated.i’m running a mac pro with 2 2.66 ghz processors. i’m running os 10.4.11 and FCS 6.02. i’ve got 3g of RAM, and the intensity card is currently in slot 3. i’ve got the media stored on 2 Maxtor 500G drives set up as a RAID 1 (so it totals 930 gigs) this RAID is currently 60% full.
your question about the RAID made me think that maybe the hard drives can’t keep up – but i don’t think that is it… (first of all, its DVC Pro HD footage, and those Maxtors should be able to keep up with that ok (i just ran the Blackmagic Disk Speed Test and got 109.9 mb/s)
the HD footage plays just fine in the Digital Cinema Desktop Preview…
i’m not using Easy Setup in FCP and understand that i can’t change the setting of a sequence retroactively, but only by making a new sequence. one thing i don’t understand is this:
Does the ‘video playback’ setting have to match the Sequence Setting?
if so, how do i view a 720p24 sequence are 50 and 60 fps? -
much appreciated, everyone!

yeah, we tried on on my friends macbook pro, and even though the unit worked before on his machine, the same thing happened this time.
we’re both TOTALLY mystified.
any help would be appreciated! -
good stuff.
but i’m really looking for a course of some sort.
no ideas?
