Client Monitor Dropping Frames with a GTX 570?

I have a 2 monitor setup which are both connected to my GTX 570. I edit on one monitor and play HD video full screen on the client monitor. The video was shot on my Panasonic GH2. Premiere Pro CS5.5 would play this video silky smooth but CS6 drops frames so badly that I woldnt be surprised if it was playing 12 frames per sec.
When I turn off CUDA accleration the video plays a lot smoother.
Is anybody else having this problem?
P.S. I have the latest Premiere Pro update os 6.0.1 and I am using the latest Nvidia drivers. I even installed the older drivers that I was using with CS5.5 and the video is still dropping frames like crazy.

This is a known problem with AVCHD and maybe other codecs. The new 6.0.1 helps but does not completely eliminate the playback problem, which I see especially after scrubbing. Maybe your video is more compressed than mine is. See also This thread

Dropped frames with HD

Is it possible to edit HD with final cut HD and not have any dropped frames?
It is impossible to get a smooth slow-motion clip let alone one in real time.
If there is a fix or some technich to prevent this?
thanks-

Well, there are lots of things that can cause dropped frames, but I think it's pushing the envelope to be doing HD on a MacBook. Don't take this the wrong way - I think MacBooks are great machines. But HD requires a lot of computing power and even though the MacBook is qualified for FCE-HD, given the MacBook's Intel GMA video processor/shared memory and 5400rpm HD, I wouldn't be surprised to get dropped frames with HD material.
On the other hand,
-how full is your system HD
-are you using an external hard drive by any chance
-have you rendered your material or are you relying on RT effects
-have you mixed down your audio
-do you have any other apps running at the same time as FCE

Flash player drops frames with playing live h264 frames

Hi
i have been tryin to get to a adobe representative for a long time now regarding this but unfortunately no one responds fast enough. I am facing a terrible issue. When broadcasting h264 live video from a flash based encoder client i notice severe frame drops on the playback end no matter what player i use. It even happens if i use fms development server on my own system. Video becomes smooth if i add a 1 sec buffer to the player. but then the video is no longer live.
So my question is , is theer somethign wrong with h264 encoding in flash player or thats the way it is suppose to be ? at zero buffer frame drops are severe. Sample config :
320 x 240 @ 24 fps @ 90000 bps @ 100 KFI @ 3.1 level @ baseline profile.
I sincerely some one at adobe to respond. There are many stranded questions on this topic on the forum and on the web already.

The CPU usage is 2-6% on the i7 920 vista 64bit computer. The audio doesn't seem to be dropping. Some more clues that might help you help me
- The quality of the video doesn't matter, 360p drops frames just as often as 720p or 1080p.
- The dropped frames still occur even when the video is completely downloaded and replayed without any buffering needed.
One thing that does fix the dropped frames is completely disabling my sound card in the windows playback sound options. This also fixes the second computer's dropped frames which only has onboard realtek audio. I have tried using a Creative PCI sound card and the built in realtek sound but they both behave the same. The latest drivers were installed for both.

PPro CS6: Source Monitor Dropping Frames

Greetings,
Currently I'm working off an iMac, OSC 10.8.4, 12 GB RAM, with i7, and ATI Radeon 1GB video card. I haven't noticed it recently until today for some reason, but my source monitor keeps dropping frames like crazy after about 5 seconds of playback.
I've read other threads that recommend lower preview frame res, as well as playback res to 1/4. I've tried that, allocated more memory to PPro (only 2GB left to other applications, yet PPro seems to only use 1.9GB during dropped frame playback), shut down other proccesses that might be consuming memory, switched PPro to enable better "Performance" in preferences, and rebooted several times.
I realized that it could be the source footage from the start: 1080p 23.976fps TIFF sequence.
How can I get PPro to actually use more than 1.9GB of memory during playback in order to get over this TIF hump? Or does the real answer lie not in memory, but more processing power?
Not a job-threatening situation, but just curious as to what it takes.
Thanks!

Okay, thanks for the additional infor. I've taken note of this issue and will investigate when we return from the company shutdown on July 8.

Avoiding dropped frames with Matrox and HD Video

What is the best hard drive configuration to avoid dropped frames when using a Matrox MXo2 mini for HDMI outpjt to a high res monitor/tv? I am experiencing slow performance with the four drives in my Macpro 3,1 3Ghz 30GB Ram Nividia Cuda card. I am after about 200-250 MBytes/sec transfer speeds. Can I do this with two identical disks in my Macpro and configuring them for Raid 0. Or do I need to do it externally? I have increased speed to about 120 MBytes/sec by using a Esata card and connecting into to a Lacie 2TB Big disk,configured for Raid 0 . I need to go a bit faster than this....especially if I want to use premier

Those are nice looking enclosures and in general I like OWC. I've been using their stuff since before the turn of the century.
But in this case, I don't think you'll get the speed you're looking for because they are using eSATA and muxing the data over a single cable. It's a flexible solution, but not a very fast one. To re-iterate, the two flaws I see are:
1. SATA II disk speed, and
2. a single eSATA cable
This could theoretically provide 300MB/sec, (they have a benchmark that is around 250) but don't look for it day-in, day-out. As the drives fill up and reality settle in I doubt you'll see the numbers you want. BUT... maybe it'll provide enough.
Instead, take a look here:
SATA Enclosures - PC PitStop
Not quite as sassy looking, but I've had the first enclosure shown running with four spindles and a SFF-8470 multilane cable since 2006. And it still benches over 250MB/sec mostly loaded on the original drives.
Any of the enclosures on that page will support SATA III drives and they offer a variety of controllers.This isn't a big shop but they know what's up. Call them. I know I can build a RAID with their stuff that will cost about the same as the OWC box and be seriously faster.
Hope this helps

Capture Direct to External HD/Dropped frames with Firewire-In and eSATA-Out

I have been working on a setup with a brand new 2.6 GHz MBP/4 GB/200 GB-7200rpm HD. I am capturing DVCAM via Firewire400. I am capturing direct to a LaCie Biggest Quadra connected to an eSATA PCI card. I keep encountering dropped frames on capture. Could this be due to the PCI connection? To the best of my knowledge, the PCI slot is a separate bus from the Firewire bus, which should avoid the pitfalls of i/o on the same Firewire bus. What could be the problem here? Thanks in advance.

If you have a MacBook Pro, then yes the ExpressCard bus is separate form the firewire bus. The pros here ALWAYS recommend capturing via firewire to a different bus, either firewire or eSATA via an ExpressCard (or PCI for the previous generation laptops) since the card is on a different bus. Have you tried attempting a capture to the inter drive? I know this is in no way ideal, but this way, we can rule out the camera/deck. DVCAM also isn't much bigger than DV if at all, so bandwidth shouldn't be a problem. Again, not ideal, but try connecting the big disk to the other firewire port on your MBP. This way we can rule out the eSATA card. Report back and we'll see what else we can do to help.
Don't forget to rate if this was helpful,

FCP Capture Dropped frames with advanced pulldown

Ok so here's my problem, I have Final Cut studio with FCP 4.5 and I'm trying to import 24p advanced pulldown media from my tapes, and getting a dropped frames warning that ends import; but after trying both cameras (the one the footage was shot with and a second one) and different tapes with normal footage and 24P advanced I still get the same error message. Then I went and replaced the firewire cable with no luck, and I just went and got a PCI firewire card qualified for video import same dropped frames.
Now before I put in the PCI card I clean installed FCP studio with no luck, I also went through and triple checked every setting in FCP for any problems; and I'm wondering if it might mean that either, I need to replace the media drive I'm importing to or if I need more then my 1GB of RAM?

I too am having the exact same problem with 4.5 (although no advanced pull down) and 24p. Last week I was importing fine, this week, dropped frames right and left using batch capture after logging my clips.
I'm using a dual 2.0ghz G5 with 3.5gb of RAM, 10.4.9, booting off a 250gb internal (48gb free) disk but using a G-Tech 500gb firewire 800 external firewire drive for scratch(400gb free). Media is miniDV, tape deck is Sony GVD1000 and I've tried my DVX100b for playback as a test. I've gone thru the FCP checklist and used Disk Utility and Disk Warrior (no problems there). I've tried different tapes (including ones that were successfully captured last week).
I'm suspecting that some recent download of QTime, OSX, or iTunes is at fault. Anyone else suspect the same?

Dropping Frames with Motion JPEGA Quicktime Files ...720X486

Hi All,
Some help if anyone knows. Heres my setup, Desktop G5 Dual 2.3 with 1 gig of Ram. I'm working with Quicktime media: Motion JPEGA Quicktime generated out of a Discreet Smoke NLE System. Whats happening is I'll start to play a relatively short clip, 30 seconds, and it will give me the dropped frame
warning.
First thing, is 1 GIG of Ram sufficient for these files? Or is this some kind
of preference setting? I did notice that the QT files had audio at 32 Bit
where the sequence settings only allow you to go to 16.
Any responses appreciated
thanks

Choppy and Dropping Frames with AVCHD on FCPX

Hi,
I'm having a nightmare problem with AVCHD on my Mac Pro and FCPX.
So I'm editing with 1080 60p from FS700, NX70, GoPro Hero3 and XR-550V.
Imported without transcoding first, so just a rewrap into QT.
Tried to play a single clip in the events or timeline in this conditons:
- "Use original or optimized media" > High Quality
- "Use original or optimized media" > Better Perfomance
- "Use proxy media" (and did a transcode only for 4 clips to test)
With all those possibilities it ALWAYS plays choppy and dropping frames.
Playing in the QT (PRIVATE and choosing the clip) plays normal.
Playing in the QT proxy transcoded from FCPX plays normal.
Using Premiere CC is also normal.
Tried to ensure that the timeline is 29.97p, same thing (dropped frames choppy).
What could it be?
Specs:
FCPX 10.0.9
Mac Pro Early 2009
Original Material in a RAID0 ~220MB/s R/W
Processor 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 7 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB
Software OS X 10.8.5 (12F45)

Well, it's possible for FCP to find something about either your hardware (or a third party software) problematic and for Pr to be OK with. Premiere has long been more agnostic about formats and codecs than FCP.
Unsure what to suggest. It shouldn't require the latest-greatest ;for example, we have a four year old MBP, running Lion that can play 1080 AVCHD smoothly… although we set Preferences to better performance.

Playback in monitor drops frames

Hi,
I am using Adobe Premiere Elements 2.0. I am editing MPG files shot on my camcorder, I can import these successfully but the playback in the main monitor window drops more frames than it actually displays. The sound is fine, just the video causes problems.
The file that is output plays back perfectly, as does the original footage when viewed in Windows Media, it just makes editing difficult when you can not see the footage frame by frame during playback.
Why does this happen and is there a solution?
Thanks in advance,
Rob.

Rendering previews only helps if you export to DV-AVI and uncheck the "always render" option.
It's easy enough to prove that it doesn't help when exporting to DVD. Take a short clip and put it on the timeline twice. Increase the brightness of the second clip slightly so you can distinguish it from the first clip. Now render a preview. Two preview files will be created. Now exit out of Premiere Elements. Use Windows Explorer to swap the names of the two preview files. Now go back into Premiere Elements and load the project. The green line is still there, but now the second brighter clip is in the first position. Now export to DVD and you will see that the rendered files were not used to create the DVD because the brighter clip is in the second position. The rendered files were completely ignored.

Dropped frames with a rendered timeline

Hello, I've captured footage from a canon HX A1 with the easy setup in FCP 5 set to HDV. I'm using a Macbook Pro Intel Core Duo 2.16 Ghz processor with 2 gigs of RAM.
When I put a clip into the timeline, an orange bar is present, so I render the sequence. But even when the orange is replaced by blue, I can't play the footage for more than a second or two. Even a lower RT setting doesn't help, unless I cut the frame rate to half.

YOu are missing the point. Your sequence settings do not match the settings of your footage. You should NOT be seeing any render lines. What you need to do is choose the proper Easy Setup that matches your footage, then make a new sequence and drop the footage into the new sequence.
If you can't seem to get a setting that matches, use this tip:

Problem with source tape and drop frames with capturing HDV

I am having trouble capturing a tape. Every time I try and capture I get the message problem with tape, I try to change settings but after a few seconds of capturing the capture stops. I know that the tape is fine so it does not have anything to do with my tape. Capture also stops because it comes up with a message saying drooped frames.

Are you capturing to an external or secod drive, right? What kind of drive? What camera?

Cc 7.2.1 lags on timeline and program monitor, and drop frames.

Hello guys i have cc 7.2.1, and every basic operation i do on the timeline , moving clips, trimiming, scrubing on the timeline everything lags, its not fluid. When i do a simple scrubring on the timeline, the CTI takes sometime to get to the position i selected to do the playback.
But the worst part is the trimming or moving clips, it takes ages before i get an image on the program monitor. If i move a clip into a middle of 2 clips it takes ages to see those two little privews images with timecode, to see where to put it. So is very hard to edit like this.
Another odd thing is when in redering mode i select to use sofware only i dont have drop frames, when i chose cuda i have drop frames!!
I´m editing h254 from a 5d and 7d on externa llaccie usb 3 , have the a macbookpro 16g i7, iris pro and nvidia 750m, and a external samsung, via DVI.
Anny sugestions?
thank you.

Thanks for the Tips.
One thing that i discoverd was, when software only is enabled i can't edit. Everything as that lag i reported above, but i have no drop frames with external monitor.
Now comes the funny part, when i enable CUDA for my Nvidia gt 750m, i can edit !!! everything becomes almost normal, image on program monitor comes quick, and i can do trims. BUT i have drop frames on external monitor!!!!! so therefore i cant have a proper edit enviroment.
The only solution is to edit without an external monitor with cuda enabled, that way i dont have drop frames. I guess this is a syntom, that something is not working well on CC 7.2.1.
Thank you all.
