All included(exept drop frames)

Hi all,
I did my 1st ever music video only using my mc book pro. (i actually forgot my external hard drive to do my normal job as a musician).
it was actually pretty fun to do both video and music only with the webcam and the built in mike of the laptop.
I only used what was in the machine, no outboard gears, goin' back and forth between I Movie and logic pro, after recording thru photo booth.

i still had a problem though: frame drop between i movie and logic.
(meaning i was not on the same clock lock everytime)
it costed me lots of time relocking the 'beat'.
Any Ideas?
Cheers

FWIW, posting in the right forum will mean that more people that are familiar with your software applications will see your post, thereby increasing your chances of getting proper advice in a timely manner.
And since you're using iMovie, you should probably post this question in the appropriate iMovie forum - they are located here: http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=141
That said, if you had been using one of the Pro video apps (FCE or FCP) the answer would probably be to make sure the format, audio sampling rate and bit depth of the audio matches that of the Sequence settings. In most cases it would be AIFF, 48khz, 16 bit. However, iMovie works completely different from the Pro apps so that may not make a difference.

Problems working with non drop and drop frame DVCPRO HD material in project

I am having playback problems with my non drop frame HDV material. It stutters.
All of our projects up to this point have been shot in drop frame. During our last shoot however the Bcam was recorded in non drop. I loaded both the non drop bcam tapes as non drop and the drop frame Acam tapes as drop. All of the drop frame Acam material plays back fine in the source viewer and the timeline. The non drop Bcam material seems to randomly stutter in the source viewer, or causes the system to serve a "dropped frames warning" in the timeline.
Is there a bug with fcp 5.1.2 about mixing non drop and drop frame material in a project. Or is this not possible? They are the same frame rate.
I have exported the non drop clips in a drop frame timeline and re-imported them as drop frame clips - thus correcting the problem. Is this the best solution?
All of the material was loaded thru a kona card as 1080i60 DVCPROHD 29.97
I had no problems capturing the material as long as I used the corrrect firewire setting (ndf vs df).
Anyone have a problem like this? I would greatly appreciate a response.
Thanks,
Mark

The camera can record 60i, and 30F:
"HDV 1080, 50i/60i/30F/25F Recording and Playback capable"
Look at the clips...look at their frame rates. What do they say? Is one 59.94? Is the other 29.97?
You would never need to render if you mixed NDF and DF footage. The footage runs at the same speed, on the TC numbers are different. But, you would need to render if your footage had different frame rates. LOOK AT THE CLIPS.

Dropped frames on MultiCam editing with Canon XF305 Footage

Hello,
I recently purchased three Canon XF305 series cameras and have been conducting a series of tests to determine the best recording format and editing workflow. First, does anyone have experience with these new Canon cameras?
Using the log and transfer utility, I've been bringing the files into FCP natively using the canon codec (which is actually mislabeled as a Sony codec). Once in, the footage looks good to edit, without requiring rendering.
However, when I setup a multiclip sequence with the three cameras, the render bar turns green and I'm getting all kinds of dropped frames on playback. Is this a computer processor issue, drive speed, or codec? The multiclip is the only time I have trouble -- once I collapse the multiclip, I can edit fine without any drop frames.
I've done tests using 5400x and 7200x drives using both firewire 800 and eSata, no changes. I believe that rules out drive speed.
Is this a processor issue? What can I do to resolve this, as our workflow involves 100+ hours of footage from 3 cameras.
Thanks in advance

but my experience with the 305's in ProRes is that it makes it a bigger file(more than double)
Of course it will. XDCAM is a highly compressed format. ProRes is a larger file type, higher data rate. It will be larger. Did you not notice that the ProRes footage from the 5D were also about 5 times larger?
and still needs to render.
If you worked in a ProRes timeline, then you shouldn't need to render. If you still do, than something is wrong. Create the file...make a new sequence, cut this into that sequence...FCP will make the settings match. If it does this, and you STILL need to render....you did something wrong.
when I actually converted to ProRes, it seemed like it was more taxing on the computer, took up twice the hard drive, and more than three times the time to transcode compared to native.
It is less taxing to actually edit with. GOP formats require the computer to constantly process the GOP footage to show you frames...since there are no real frames in any GOP format. Well, there are 3 frames every second, then a bunch of pictures, and the computer has to guess what is next by looking at the frames, and then the pictures, and make up the in-between. PRORES is a full frame format...no guessing, no computing. And larger files are not more taxing on the computer...they might require faster hard drives...and larger ones, but they are less taxing. Yes, longer to convert than native, but when that is done, things are easier.
But, do what you want. I just gave a suggestion.

Dropped frames after upgrade to FCS2

Hi all,
Were getting dropped frames on capture since upgrading a system from 5.1.4 to fcp6 (FCS2)
System is MacPro with all updates installed. Raid is capable of 400MBs.
Prior to upgrade we captured 720P60 10bit uncompressed fine
Also playback of 2 layers in timeline with animated transparency on Trk2 was realtime, no dropped frames.
After upgradeto fcs2 + ATI1900XT + upgrade to Blackmagic driver 6.2
Capture of 720P60 8/10 bit FCP6 reports dropped frames after between 2>3 mins of capture on the fly from a non-contolable device.
Playback of a single stream is fine but if I add a track and lower the transparency FCP6 reports disk speed is to low to playback 2 streams.
The raid is osx extended. We did have it journaled even though we erased using just osx extended :-/ so re-formatted again and this time it stuck on just osx-extended.
I've set privacy on the raid for spotlight though did not do this before when it was working fine.
aja and blackmagic speed tests are reporting same speeds for the raid as prior to upgrade. 450MBs read 390MBs write.
We have a few external disks osx clones with old setup fcp5.1.4 on etc so will statup from one and see if this goes away.
Anyone else having capture playback framerate issues since upgrade?
Cheers
S

This gets harder to understand!..
So I re-boot off the internal with FCS2 and BM6.2 drivers on.
Open the projects. Add a clip to trk1.. add a clip above in trk2, animate transparency.. thinking yep.. will bomb out... nope.. now it plays fine as before!..
So between booting off another OSX drive with FCP 5.1.4 and BM6.1
Reboot off OSX drive with FCP6 and BM6.2 driver something changed :-/

If all the dropped frames fixes don't work

Hello all,
I am experiencing dropped frames on playback when I play my movie in the timeline. I am editing standard DV footage on a project (17 sequences) started in June. Last week while adding b roll, I started getting a lot of dropped frames. When they dropped I got the slow disk error message (the one with the scary red lettering.)
I have 4-500 GB Maxtor one touch drives daisy chained together with FW800 and connected to my MacBook Pro with FW400, and 1-1 TB & 1-1.5 TB Maxtor one touch daisy chained together and connected to the computer with FW800.
I've been working to resolve the issue. I've read the threads and the manual. I've tried: trashing prefs, repaired permissions, reduced the playback video quality and frame rate, changed from safe to unlimited RT, selected Play Base Layer Only, Decreased the # of RT layers & Limited RT bandwidth in User Prefs.
The next thing suggested at: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1165 is to check your hard drives. At this point and beyond in the suggestions pass my technical know how.
I have not had a problem with the project and have been editing on it for a few months. It is bigger all the time of course, is that the problem? I am thinking I have a problem with the disk speed/through put of my external drives but what is the resolution? Do I have to buy new drives and copy from the old ones, since the project is on so many drives how would I do that? How do I problem solve from this point?
As I started to have problems I "Saved As" the project to a different drive. It seems like since then the project (the original saved one) opens slowly & I get the spinning beach ball with every function. I used to get the dropped frames at the transitions but now I can't even play the A roll without the dropped frames. I turned off the warning box but when I play the seq. in the timeline it stutters and stops anyway.
Hope I explained it well enough but probably left off something important! Let me know.
Thanks for helping me folks, T

Hey Y'all,
I've been scouring the internet before I move any of my files. I ran across this bit of info at: http://www.bosfcpug.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=93&Itemid=58
"If playback is stalling, try disconnecting some, or all, of your Firewire drives. Although the Firewire spec allows up to 63 devices to be connected to your computer, *after about five or six drives, there's so much "talking" on the Firewire bus that performance really starts to degrade.* Where possible, limit the number of Firewire drives you are using. Worst case, buy *bigger drivers and copy data from smaller drives to bigger drives* so your total storage remains the same, but the number of devices decreases." +Larry Jordan+
Maybe this is not an issue for me. I only have 6 drives in two chains, all Maxtor 1 touch. The 4-500 GB are connected to the computer via FW400. The 1 & 1.5 TB drives are chained together and are connected to the computer via FW800 (but all through the same port anyway, eh?) If I needed to copy some of the smaller drives to a larger one I have another 1.5 TB available.
Would copying some of the 500 GB drives to the 1.5 TB drive be a way to take care of both the over-full drives and the number of drives in the chain problems?
This whole moving FCP files has me nervous.
I am wondering what is the best way to copy one drive to another & not use FCP media manager?
What will that do to my FCP files?
Would it be just a matter of reconnecting media when you open the project next time?
Since I know where the media is that would need reconnecting is that wouldn't be too h*ish, would it?
And since...
at this point I am unable to open my FCP project at all. which means using media manager to move files will be impossible...
next step, suggestions?
Thanks, T

Dropped frames during playback and Record To Tape

Mac G-5, OS X 10.4.4; 4 X 2.5 GHz; 4.5 GB DDR2; NVIDIA GeForce 6600 w/256MB.
G-Raid 1TB, Format Mac OS Extended; External FireWire 800 port.

Tape deck, Sony Mini DV GV-D1000 NTSC FireWire 400 port used for digitizing and mastering.
Have searched forum for solution to dropped frames. Based on other suggestions, set Final Cut Pro 5 RT button to SafeRT; Playback quality to High; Playback Frame Rate, Full. Compression rate at 75%. Sequence > Render All-Video Needs Rendering;Audio, For Playback Render Only-Mixdown.
System Settings--Scratch Disk Video Capture and Audio Capture set to RAID. Video Render and Audio Render set both to Maxtor or RAID. Either case dropped frames.
User Preference--Real-Time Audio Mixing, 2 tracks (have also tried 4 tracks, which equals # of tracks actually used).
In spite of changing all the above settings, I still get dropped frames. Am I missing yet another setting that will fix the problem?

Drop-frame media to a non-drop frame clip?

Hello,
Maybe it's not my night and I should just go to bed! In any event, upon batch capture I receive the following warning:
Warning: You are about to capture drop-frame media to a non-drop frame clip. If you proceed, you may experience changes in logged in and out points, problems relinking media, or removal of master clip relationships.
All the clips were logged via a DSR-11 using drop-frame (all the clips, 13 in all, have a semi-colon). Nothing has changed on our set up, we are strictly DV. Searched and so an earlier thread some months back but no additional insights? Any clues?
Mike

hello mike,
it is possible you are the victim of deck settings.
some decks (including the DSR-11, i believe) have a menu setting that can force the deck to output DF or NDF regardless of what was recorded on the tape.
it is possible that the deck was set to do this when you logged (and it isn't now), or it is set to do this now (and it wasn't when you logged).
so ... first see if you can find this in the menu of the deck. it will be called something like "DF mode" or TC mode or somesuch. make sure its off (so that it gives you what is actually on the tape).
then capture.
if you haven't used these clips anywhere, you should be able to ignore any warnings and take what you get of the tape.
hope that helps.

Dropped Frames & Firewire Busses - A Discussion

A side discussion broke out on this recent thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=231733&tstart=0
and because this discussion is OT to the thread, I thought it might be helpful to start a new on-topic thread.
A number of FCP users have experienced dropped frames when capturing or outputting to tape while using a DV VCR/camcorder and a firewire drive for media on the same FW bus. There are many causes for dropped frames, but this discussion centers on the relationship between FW drives, DV devices, and using a single firewire bus.
Some say that having the DV device and the firewire media drive on the same bus can be a cause of dropped frames with some systems. Others disagree. I'm in the first camp, so I'll leave it to others to explain the other side.
I'm starting this thread to pick up where the side discussion on the thread linked above left off.
In response to Hughes Video:
If I'm reading your post correctly, my opinion is that your testing doesn't adequately address the real world situation. In practice, the FW port on the DV device is receiving data at 3.6MB/sec and buffering. Then it sends a data stream to the FW bus at about 12MB/sec, where is again buffered before being sent to the destination drive.
The benchmark test results you noted don't predict what happens in the real world when capturing a DV stream from a VCR/camcorder to a FW drive. To do that, you need to be able to report in a time graph what the throughput is for every 1/30 of a second while capturing.
I'm not sure that's what Adam Wilt has done, but he's told me that he's done thorough testing that proves the points he's made. I don't know what testing that entails.
I do know, as I posted in the other thread, that when those who are having dropped frames separate the DV device from the FW drive on separate busses, their problems resolve. I don't know the technical reason for that, but I theorize that it has to do with the data moving and buffering in both directions on the same bus simulteneously. If the bus speed is decreased when both devices are on the same bus (whether daisy-chained or on separate ports), I don't know. But I know the problem resolves when you separate them.

this begs the question though: how do users of an
imac or a mini get around the limitations of one
internal harddrive and one firewire bus?
zeb
They can't. iMac's are a consumer (and terribly sexy) computer. Make no mistake, if you are doing this for a living you need a PowerMac. Want less headaches with dropped frames and FW? Then take a closer look at better drives. G-Raid, Weibetech, and Granite Digital make the best out there, and invest in another FW 800 card for 'em. End of story.
Want to avoid dropped frames forever and ever with any video format? Forsake FW drives for fibre. SCSI is dying a slow but steady death IMHO.
Yeah, it all costs more, but you GET more (speed). Faster drives don't drop frames. Nothin' new there...
There is a tendancy with new users of NLE's to cut corners. Don't do that, because it results in unhappy NLEing.
Do I use FW drives? Of course I do, and use exclusively the above brands, I've clients who want to keep all media ever captured. (also a good idea) but I include in my invoices the cost of buying more FW drives to do the job. It works, I don't drop frames, have happy clients, and drop frame free system. I'm using the G-Raids for uncompressed storage and FW 800 Weibetech and Granite digital rigs for DV res storage. It works beautifully.

Dropped Frames and Render/Playback problems in Final Cut Express HD

I use FCE HD and edit HD video off my Sony camcorder. Recently I've got rid of my old Imac G5 and have a newer 2GHz PowerPC G5 with more RAM (2GB) off a friend because my old mac wasn't fast enough and was incapable of playing back some of my edits.
At first when i got my new mac things looked faster and it was playing transitions without dropped frames etc. However now i've started editing again and imported new projects, i've got a big problem with dropped frames during playback and rendering. I get dropped frames during unedited clips let alone at transitions and for some reason, fce will no longer render video. Unedited clips from my latest project need rendering, which i've never had before, but when i try to render them the 'writing video...' pop up flashes, but nothing happens and the video is not rendered!
Now i can't watch and edit some of my projects without dropped frames stopping playback every other clip and i can't do anything with my new ones because the video need rendering but can't be rendered!
Can anyone help me out on either topic?

Hi Ross,
Well, most people, myself included, would say you should consider yourself lucky if doing video via USB ever worked at all for you. Overall, USB is not up to the demands of video, and that is most likely why you are getting your dropped frames problem.
The solutions would be either use your internal HD or get a good external FW drive. I know this is frustrating, as it has been for many people who look at the raw specs where USB 2.0 appears faster than FW400 but in real life, for video especially, it is not.

Dropped frames from XDCAM EX HD (1080/24p) - Seems like a bug in FCP 6.

We're editing XDCAM EX HD (1080/24p) using the built in easy setup and dedicated built in drives as scratch disks. We have run all software updates and have the latest builds of final cut...
We keep on experiencing dropped frames on playback, but only on our NEW 8 core Mac Pro not on any of our other Mac's including our MacBook's.
Through a painful process of elimination, we found out that if you go to System Settings/Playback Control and you switch Gamma Correction from Accurate to Approximate it solves the problem. We have no idea why and would love an answer from Apple on this.
Moreover is this a bug or do we need to amend something on our system. As a note we've already matched pairs on the RAM and done all the other obvious stuff.
Regards
Daniel

Having the same issue with same format footage (1080/24p), the proposed solution works (a little). I can definitely playback a longer duration but it still drops frames. Even when putting a filter on and rendering it still drops frames.

Corrupt media causing dropped frames? FCP shuts down without warning.

Hello,
I have a project that was working fine, then one day we started getting numerous dropped frame warnings during playback on the timeline (specifically during sequences that have multiclips); then two days later, playback causes the entire project to freeze and FCP shuts down.
We are on 17" MacBook Pro, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB 667
Mac OS X 10.4.9
External drive: Western Digital 1 TB, My Book Pro Edition, FW 800, 7200rmp, 650GB used
FCP 5.1.4, DV-NTSC project, source media captured from DVCam
I have tried all the normal adjustments for dropped frames issues including boosting the ram allocated to FCP, closing additional sequences and applications, hard drive is formatted OS X Extended, etc. Multiclip squences have only 2 video/audio streams at a time, so I can't imagine that its bottle necking here.
One thing to note is that the second external drive, which has duplicates of all the same media and copy of the most recent project is working fine. The only difference is that the problem drive also has media that was ripped from DVDs using Mac The Ripper, and then compressed using MPeg Streamclip into .dv (then changed to .mov before importing into FCP). We are using the DVD material as scratch until we can obtain the original footage as we get closer to going online. We are in the process of obtaining permissions from directors/distributors/studios, but this obviously takes time.
DVD material is totaling close to 55GB. Also, even though the clips are .mov, we are still getting a red bar and having to render the media. Audio is at 48hz so no problem there. Not sure why it still requires us to render.
Is it possible that the project is somehow corrupt? Is all the rendered material too taxing for FCP? Am I handling this extra footage inefficiently?
I have spent hours on this forum looking for the answer, but haven't come across a solution yet. Thank you for your help.

I'm not sure I understand. You have duplicate media on another drive? You're having problems playing back the media from one drive but NOT the other? Sounds like your drive might be failing. Try running Diskwarrior (to repair any possible directory structure problems) and techtoolpro (to see if there's any physical problem).
I have had problems with multiple firewire drives from different manufacturers connected at the same time. Try disconnecting everything BUT the problem drive.
You shouldn't need to do any rendering if the clip settings exactly match the sequence settings. Try this: select one clip, control click and choose make multiclip sequence. Is there a red bar in the sequence? If not, your clip settings to not match your sequence settings in the problem sequence.
Good luck

HELP, still getting dropped frames!

I'm still receiving dropped frames on my capture, which throws my audio wildly out of sync.
This is an FCP 3.0 running on a 10.4.9 Mac OS X computer, a G5.
I have:
Switched from both Safe RT to Unlimited RT.
Made sure there aren't multiple firewire drives plugged in.
Captured directly to my internal hard drive (as opposed to my external G-Raid)
Switched cameras.
Switched mini-DVs.
(I've also done that thing where you go into User Preferences, Go to Spotlight, Click on Privacy and drag your capture folder into the bin...which didn't work)
I've concluded it must not be the camera itself if two different cameras are both dropping frames, probably some setting in FCP I don't know about.
If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it, Thanks.

SInce you list an iMac as your computer your options are limited as the usual fix for this problem is adding a second firewire bus and you can't do that with the imac.
But to clear something up, earlier you wrote...
Sorry, I'm running my camera through the firewire device....and capturing all the media to my internal hard drive.
The only hope you have is that you can capture directly to the system drive. To do this, just plug the camera into the computers FW port. Disconnect any other FW devices including the external drive.
If that works you can transfer the footage to the FW drive after capture.
Might also try the spotlight fix again although I don't know how it works if the scratch drive is your system drive.

Logged and Transfered AVCHD footage has dropped frames or appears jerky.

Hey I just got off the phone after 2 hours with Apple care which offered no answers to this issue. My co worker is able to log and transfer without problem on his computer from my "Sony HDR CX12" AVCHD Full 1080. But both of my machines no go. I re-installed OS X 10.5.7 and all applications including FCP 6.0.6 and discovered that if you have QUICKTIME or iLife apps (i.e. iMovie, iPhoto etc... open then your doomed!!!! Dropped frames for sure on logged and transfered AVCHD footage.
I called back Apple Care and they are attempted to recreate the same system set up as I had to verify that iLife 2009 is screwing up FCP 6.0.6
I've found some other work arounds if you are having this problem. Please let me know since my case is still open with Apple Care and I would like to be able to mention that others are having issue with this.
Rod

This is one weird post. I don't understand what you are babbling about.
I re-installed OS X 10.5.7 and all applications including FCP 6.0.6 and discovered that if you have QUICKTIME or iLife apps (i.e. iMovie, iPhoto etc... open then your doomed!!!!
COMPLETELY wrong. That couldn't be more wrong. Quicktime is the basic engine of FCP...it captures all footage as QT files. Without QT FCP would not function. And of course it works with iMovie and iPhoto installed...those are basic Apple applications. I have those on all my machines that have FCP and have had zero issues. Well, the issues you have are NOT related to having those applications installed. That is silly talk.
Now...when you import AVCHD footage, you have the choice on what CODEC you can use when you import. Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) or ProRes. AIC is nice and light, and can be played back on a firewire drive, but lack essential things like TIMECODE...and the quality isn't all that great. ProRes on the other hand is great quality and has timecode, but has a high data rate. A firewire 400 drive will not work...firewire 800 might, but raided firewire 800 like a G-Raid would be advisable. eSATA drives or internal SATA drives all the better.
iLife 09 is not screwing up FCP 6.0.6. I have iLife 09 and FCP 6.0.6 and have zero issues. most people do.

Dropping Frames 60Hz - 24Hz

Hello,
Since the ATV2 was released, I’ve really been struggling to work out why playback of films seems to drop frames. I don’t seem to notice frames been dropped on my ATV2 in my Bedroom Setup or when playing via iPad or Macbook. Only on my Main Room setup.
Here are all the things I’ve tried so far to resolve this issue.
1, Bi-Passed the Onkyo amp and connected the HDMI direct to TV.
2, Swapped the HDMI cable
3, Swapped my ATV2 unit with the bedroom one.
4, Disabled video upscaling on the Onkyo Amp
5, Messed around with the audio and video setting in ATV2 including the HDMI settings.
6, Connected to both 5Ghz and normal ‘N’ wifi on my network (Apple Airport Extreme)
All my films are ripped using Handbrake and are mainly HD, the dropped frames are in different locations each time I playback a scene so the dropped frames are not caused by the file conversion/ripping.
I’m 95% sure the frame drops are due to the HD films been in 23.97 Frames. My Amp shows that input from my ATV2 is 1280x720p at 60hz And the output to the TV is also 1280x720p at 60hz. The TV display info also confirms this.
I do find it strange that I’ve not noticed dropped frames on my Bedroom setup, maybe its because the screen is smaller. But that also is outputting at 60hz.
My Setup is as Followed.
Main Room:-
ATV2
Onkyo TX-NR807
Samsung 46” LE46C750
BedRoom:-
ATV2
Samsung 32” LCD
iTunes running from MacMini and Netgear NAS Storage over WiFi
iTunes and ATV2 running latest firmware.
Any feedback, help or advice is appreciated.
Thanks

Have a similar setup with an Onkyo receiver, and experienced the same issue with my ATV2.
More details can be found in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2616205?start=0&tstart=0
Found a post on AVForums (http://www.avforums.com/forums/apple-tv/1436454-apple-tv-dropping-frames-60hz-no t-24hz.html)
Based on this, I chaned the setting for the HDMI input on my Receiver from "Custom" to "Direct" and the dropped frames disappeared.

All included(exept drop frames)
