many thanks for the suggestions:

I will try preference file delete and, just this morning render out a clip in FCP using the animation codec. However, I have read that folks on here have used P2 footage in the past with no problem . . .?

I did disable the preview (sorry, forgot to mention that) and not only turned open GL off, but moved it to the desktop (out of the plugin folder). However, the clip that did render had open GL on and seemed to render a lot faster with it on.

Thanks, I will try the preference purge. I did disable preview (sorry forgot to mention that). Not only did I turn openGL off — I took it out of the plug-in folder and put it on my desktop. That didn’t seem to be the problem. I am going to try to render the clip out in the animation codec in FCP and then take in to AE to see if it is a codec issue. However, I’ve read people on here say that hey have not had a problem with P2 footage.
