    Hi Tom….sure but transition tracks allowed you far more control and oftentimes you could skip the extra step. You could turn them on and off as needed…saved a ton of time. Anyway my quicktimes have lots of real estate for in’s and out’s, they are not short little clips and I still have trouble getting FCP to add the fades and dissolves.

    Rafael- I have about 30% of the RAID empty 70%used. Could this be as simple as the drives filling up?

    Are you trying to do a downconvert from HD to SD for the DVD burn?

    David…I tried your suggestion with no luck.

    What was happening is the timeline would play OK for 2 seconds or so then freeze for half or a full second and that would repeat. It got worse as the playhead moved down the timeline.

    So I began to think maybe it isn’t a frame rate error even if reducing the framerate to half got rid of the problem. So I began shutting tabs. I had about 10 open because the timeline was split into ten different sequences. So I shut them all except the one I was working on. I also shut the effects tab and a couple of tabs for music and graphics. And that seems to have solved the problem. I now have smooth playback.

    So do you think this was some kind of memory problem? Too many open tabs at once draining memory?

    You mean just copy and paste the shots from the existing timeline into a new non HQ timeline?

    I got it last December.

    My monitors are hooked up to an AJA ioHD box so the sequence setting is:

    AJA ioHD 1080i 29.97 Apple ProRes 422HQ

    Playback setting:

    AJA ioHD 1080i 29.97 ProRes 422 (HQ) (1920×1080)

    You think the preset might be wrong?
