Cx100 & FCP Playback probs.

I just imported a bunch of files shot w/the Sony CX100 through FCP's Import function. In preview window of the import, everything plays back fine. When I try to play them back on the FCP timeline or preview window they have interpolation issues: AKA blinking/glitches & green frames. The timeline frame rate matches the clip... @29.97. I've tried to export the clips, or play in Quicktime, the same thing-- a blinky mess.
Any ideas?

Compressor is ApplePro Ress 422.

[GeForceFX] Problem updating drivers and playback probs

I have an NVidia FX5200 personal cinema and have constantly had problems udating drivers (crashes or b&w display) - last time I tried the system crashed and no amount of fiddling would allow me to go back so I had to re-install windows and ended up with new install of XP Pro SP2 on reformatted partition - this installed its own FX5200 MSoft driver (something like 5.6) but didn't install any software or capture drivers so I re-installed the drivers from the disk - this ioverwrote with 4.n version drivers. When I tried to update to the latest drivers using MSI live update my pc crashed on start as before with a blue screen message OX0000007E and I was unable to sort this out so ended up re-installing windows AGAIN and starting from scratch once more.
This time I thought I had it sorted and gradually updated the drivers dowloading and updating each of the 7 available and this time each one seemed stable... until I reached the latest 7772 when I got the same blue screen message - fortunately this time I was able to roll back to 6681, which unless 77 is essential, I'm jappy to stick with.
However I am having problems playing avis and mpeg files direct from my hard disk - they both stop briefly, sound stutters or they jerk when playing although they play fine if I burn them to cd and play from the dvd drive.
Any ideas about why I am not able to upgrade drivers successfully and any ideas about why I'm getting playback probs? All help appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Shrek
I just listed my first post. I bought a dell Dimension XPS T500 in 999. It used a CT4780 that fed a good Altec Lansing speaker system. When I built my present budget PC I used the old CT4780 card. Because I?am using XP Pro I loaded Li'veDri'veUni-Pack.exe driver (released 280203). This worked fine.
But I do not have the SPDIF working as yet. My MSI? MS-6533XG?Motherboard does have?header pins for SPDIF but?so far I haven't used them. I am looking for drivers to use if I can get the SPDIF connected.
Do you have any info?on my needs?
Thanks

Problems with FCP playback on external LG monitor

I have just purchased an LG 22EA63 external monitor to use with FCP 7. Monitor connects fine, works ok with other programmes but once in FCP , when i transfer both canvas and viewer windows onto the monitor, playback in not smooth with flickering streaks as if the footage is interlaced (even though my current project only has progressive footage). However it gets even worse with other FCP projects that contain interlaced footage - playback on canvas is even more jerky and streaky, and the viewer window is unable to play back most alterations made to clips (especially anyhting to do with motion or speed), making clips jaggered and unwatchable.
Any ideas what the problem is? I'm assuming it is to do with the LG screens' native resolution which is 1080p , but that doesn't explain why it is failing to play progressive clips at full quality.. Also I couldn't find another resolution setting that worked.
I am connecting via HDMI to a MacBook Pro (2.8ghz Intel Core Duo, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, native screen res: 1440x900).
Obviously if I cant fix this I'll have to take the monitor back, any ideas or advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you!

I guess it's more accurate to say that there is a dramatic delay in the video between what I'm seeing in the playback window on my computer monitor and what I'm seeing on the external NTSC monitor. The audio does not have that delay, so on the external monitor the audio and video are out of sync. It makes it difficult to show anyone what you're working on, which is what the "client" monitor is supposed to do.

FCP playback stalling

Hi,
I've had my Dual 2Ghz G5 for about a year now and ever since I got it it has had stalling problems playing back in the timeline. Its rare that I could play back a ten minute video to tape without the image freezing for a second or two. I had no problems on my G4 400 mhz. I am using FCP 5.1.2, OS 10.4.8, all Pro App support updates and 2.5GB Ram. Things were a little more stable on OS 10.3.8 with FCP 4.5. Maybe I have a CPU problem or hard drive problem? Apple hardware tests don't seem to indicate anything. I had the problem with the factory RAM that was installed with it and still with new Kensington RAM. Same problem whether I write to external Lacie drive or the internal drive.
I have usually worked around this by always delivering on DVD-Rs but today its stalling quite a lot just trying to get the edit done!
Any advice? Swap my main hard drive..?
Thanks,
Sam
G5 Dual 2Ghz G4 Powerbook 867Mhz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

first off, don't store your media on the internal hard drive ... although some people get by just fine doing this,, its not recommended and can cause exactly the symptoms you are seeing.
set your capture scratch to your external drive, move existing media onto that drive, and reconnect as necessary.
you mention that the problem persists even when you are using the external.
how big is your external drive, how full is it, and how is it connected? is it plugged in to front fw port on the g5 or back? are there any other firewire devices connected to other ports? is it daisychained with any other devices?
do you have any antivirus software installed? third party background processes? how many other apps do you have running at the same time? email or web-browser open? how full is your system disk?
try creating a brand new user account in os x. log into that one and launch fcp, then see if you can import and playback media from the external with or without these stalls.
Cheers

No Video PB on External Monitor/DV unit with FCP PlayBack

Hello.
I just bought this Sony DVCAM unit today and I am having no luck with view External video from FCP. I have it connected with FW and had no problem with capture in FCP. I tried all settings on FCP external control and checked the Sony variables also. The Deck is a DSR-1500 record/PB DVCam unit from Sony. I never had problems with my DV Camera. I would appreciate some insight on this. I have FCP 4.5 and I have a small Video monitor connected to the Sony Video Monitor. I would rather view NTSC than computer monitor visuals.Thanks

Does the deck have an input switch? If so, set it for DV. I have the DSR-11 and it has DV/S-Video/Composite.
Otherwise:
#8 External Monitor Viewing.
Shane's Stock Answer #8:
A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
Then go View > External video > all frames
Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

FCP playback problem

Help!!
FCP won't playback properly... When you hit play to watch your edit, it works for a few seconds, freezes, then plays a few seconds, then freezes, and won't let you stop the playback. After a few minutes it sorts its self out... Any ideas?

It would be helpful to get more info, but my initial suggestion is to run the OSX maintance routines. Download the free utility Mainmenu from versiontracker.com and open preferences, click all the checkboxes for the batch process, then run the batch. It will do a bunch of stuff related to your harddrive and OSX config.
When that's done if the problem is still there, clear the system and user cache and reboot between each (also using mainmenu)
One should do this regularly to avoid problems. I don't know if it will solve your problems, but it is a great starting point.

My footage looks posterized in FCP playback

im using FCP 7 and have downloaded all the latest software updates.
my footage looks normal when i play it back on my video camera, it's normal when i watch it on quicktime, and even when i export it as a quicktime from FCP. it's also normal when capturing to my computer using the 'log and transfer' window. but when i play/preview the clips from the timeline or directly from the browser window, the footage looks distorted and posterized.
ive tried talking to apple support, ive re-loaded the program, ive tried the program with a different user account, ive trashed preferences and reloaded again... but the footage still looks posterized on FCP.
when i change the view settings, the footage looks normal on the R channel, the G channel and B channel, and even on the RGB + alpha channel, but when i view it using the RGB channel, it looks posterized, making it quite difficult to edit and colour-grade.
any suggestions on how i can fix this problem?

ok, so i dont know what i did. but after checking my colour settings in my system preferences (which i didnt change), FCP has decided to magically work! the footage is playing back normally now. yay!
i really dont know what i did to fix this problem, but it all appears to be fine now. thanks for your help!

FCP playback and exporting issue

Hi, I'm having an issue in FCP where as I'm playing it, all of a sudden a picture will go really wierd - i.e. the colours will be bright blue and pink, and the picture showing will not actually be the correct image, but one from somewhere else in the timeline.
If I just hide and re-show the subtitles that are above the image, the picture is back to normal.
I thought it would just be a problem in FCP, but it also occurred when I exported using best quality in compressor.
This issue only started occurring when I started making some changes to the subtitles (there are a lot in the film) - but I don't see how that could affect it.
I also thought maybe it could be to do with the fact that I have 6 video tracks (made up of subtitles, captions, etc.)?
If anyone knows anything about why FCP is doing this, and how to stop it, I would greatly appreciate your help.
Thanks

Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi Elite Pro Audio Playback Prob

I just installed X-Fi Elite on my Vostro 400 Mini with Intel G33 chipset and sometimes my audio playback sound like a chipmunk. I have to change the mode between game and entertainment to fix the problem. I've disabled the onboard audio before installing.
Is there any known incompatibility between the motherboard and x-fi? I reinstalled the software and the card, but none of them works.
Computer spec:
Core 2 Duo E4300
Kingston 4GB DDR2
Dell Vostro G33 MoBo (don't know what brand it is)
XFX 8800GT XXX 52MB DDR3
HIPER Type R-MKII 680 Watts

On the tray,. lower right, DOUBLE-click the speaker. Up pops "Play Control" panel. Options menu, Properties. With the Playback radio button, acti've, check-on every entry that looks interesting, including .. mic2, and adjust accordingly (way on the right of the panel). Change the radio button "Recording" to acti've. Check-on every interesting controls. Click OK. The panel label changed to "Recording control". Check-on the .. mic2 box. You can usually only have one thing checked-on in the recording panel. The checked-on control is your input source. You're welcome. This text has not be verifed to be free of virus, or even bacteria. Use with extreme caution.

Strange but funny Zen Touch playback prob

Ok, this is a very wierd error. Alot of times when I create a on-the-fly playlist (and this includes when I push the random button for an all songs playlist) my touch will display one song while trying to play another. It will then show "Playback Error" and move on to the next song. The funny part is, it ALWAYS trys to play a Beatles song when the playback error occurs. This is further confusing because it seems that most of the errors occur when I try to play songs from the xenogears and xenosaga soundtracks. Could it be that the pointers are confused and all I need to do is reload these albums?
Other than this I have had no real problems with my touch 40gb after 7ish months of use so I am not really that annoyed. Like I said, it's actually kinda funny that my player seems to have a Beatles fetish...
If it helps I am running the firmware version right before the latest MTP version (I don't use the pay for music services so I figure it's not worth reloading my player for). Thanks!

Have these albums ever worked?
A playback error typically means that the player cannot decode the track, which could be due to corruption, an unsupported encoder being used, license issues, or some other problem with the track.

Playback probs

Hi, I'm using a Sony mic on an PBook G4 using a Griifin imic. It works fine but to hear the playback I have to unplug the imic every time- bit of a hassle. Any ideas how to avoid this.
thanks

In GB's prefs, set the Output PopUp menu to Built In.
Thanks for that - works a treat.

Movie playback prob on ipod

I have a 5g 60GB ipod. When trying to play a movie from itunes, it will freeze at a point in the movie - either temporarily, i.e. it will start again at that same point, or will restart the movie. The ipod works fine for TV shows, music, etc. this only seems to happen when watching a movie.
I have done the soft reset ofthe ipod, but have not yet completely wiped and reloaded the ipod.
Any ideas other than that?

Well a restore would be the next step.
Do the movies play ok in iTunes?
These are movies purchased from the iTunes store? If so, it's possible you may have a corrupted download. You can contact the customer support by clicking on 'help' in iTunes.

ZEN MICRO PLAYBACK PROB

I have some mp3 files of uni'versity lectures. They were recorded/ encoded? at
6 kb
ps.
When I try to play them on the Zen Micro they play too slow, like an LP playing at the wrong speed.
They sound fine on WMP0 or Real Player. I have also played these files on 3 other mp3 players and they sound fine on them. Any ideas?

You'll need to reencode them at a supported rate. I have a suspicion it's the bit-rate being too low, but also check the sampling frequency.

Vision M Playback prob

Ok, this is the second vision m that i've had in the last 2 months. The first one was having the same problem and they told me to send it in. The problem is that the player doesn't play the audio files. I press play and the icon in lower left turns to the "play triangle icon" for about a second and then turns back to the "stop box icon". I have one video on the player and that plays fine. I download the tracks from NapsterToGo service and I still have my subscription. I have been synching with Windows Media Player. It was working fine and I just went on a trip for a week and haven't had the player synched in over a week. Could this be the problem? I find it hard to believe that the 2 players I have had are both faulty. Has anyone experienced this problem or know of any solution? Thanks in advance.

I only have songs from Napster. I guess I'll try ripping a CD and see if those songs work, but I just don't understand why they won't play. I'll post again when I see what happens with songs from a disc.

Playback Screen turns Green. Audio is fine but no Video

I have been trying to find a solution on the web but can't seem to find the answer that will help my case of the FCP playback screen turns green with no video. Audio plays back fine. Everything was working fine until today. Something changed - what did changed. The recent video files I uploaded with my Sony Video Camera worked fine, played back fine, uploaded fine, and that played back normally - until today. Why did this happen? Any one found the culprit and a fix?

Thank you Studio X and David for responding. Yes, I will stay away from m4v formats.
Do you have a fix on how to solve the "Codec could not be opened"?
I am scheduling an appointment with the Apple Store but I am not sure if the Genius Bar guys are up on FCP and knowledgable to figure out what changed and how to change it back to be able to playback my capture scratch files. I noticed some of the past capture scratch files no longer work and get the flashing dark green screen but some do work. It's a software issue but what is it? Any ideas?
