thanks for your responses. my problem this; i lay off to tape, using a front slate and color bars, which are on the timeline. when i try to play back the tape on my deck, the color bars and slate play back perfectly. but once the actual video starts in, the time code, as read by the deck, goes blank, and the begins to randomly skip around. the video starts and stops, and plays back in a herky-jerky fashion, almost as if it’s skipping around like a dvd. it’s odd. it’s happened on a few tapes, and the deck plays back other tapes just fine- just not the ones i laid off. i hope that is clearer. thanks again for your help.

Shane- thanks for the response. I am capturing with a Sony HVR deck- you are saying that I need to switch to UNCONTROLLED DEVICE on that deck, and then capture, or is UNCONTROLLED DEVICE a setting in FCP?
Thanks again.

Thanks Shane- I ended up just rendering it and things worked out alright. I tried to export to .mov with QT but the problem persisted. From now on, I’ll make sure people just import with FCP. Thanks.
