Mike,
Thanks for the response. Funny, I got off the phone with Adobe yesterday and we reached the same conclusion – corruption of permissions.

Just created a new Admin user and CS3 worked fine. I hadn’t narrowed it down as far as a Quicktime update, although that might have been what did it.

Glad it’s resolved. Hope others see this that may be having the same problem.

Mike,
I’m having this exact problem on my workstation… Did you ever get this resolved?

PP CS3 crashes after the load up screen comes up and it looks like its about to open… Running out of options.

Thanks

Very helpful, thank you for the explanation.

I will definitely continue to work that way in the future.

Got it, I will try re-digitizing.

The DVX 24pA footage was shot for the behind the scenes footage to maybe include in the documentary, so the full tape was captured and we used DV Start/Stop detect to cut them up. I typically don’t do it this way, I will go back and just digitized the clips we need.

Another odd thing –
When I open the clip into the second FCP viewer and set my in and out points for the area I’d like to use. Then when I drag that section into the timeline, the in/out points are located about 30 seconds down the clip.

Recapturing should do the trick. Thanks all for the advice.

First of all, thank you for the responses.

My mistake, the footage IS 24p Advanced and was captured at 29.97. It is in a 23.98 timeline and the video plays in fast motion, audio is normal.

Here’s the odd thing. When I play the self-contained clip in quicktime, it is synced and works fine, the duration is 28:37. When I import it into FCP and watch it in the timeline, the video stops at 23:05 and the audio plays until 28:37. Basically, the video is playing fast and the audio is playing normal speed.

This seems like a quirk since it plays fine in quicktime.
