Dropped Frames on 8-Bit Uncompressed Media...

Using FCP HD (4.5)...
I was on a G4 Dual 1Ghz machine with 1GB ram. It was dropping frames seemingly in the middle of shots. The media was all on internal drives separate from the program.
I then moved to a G5 1.8GHz machine with 1GB ram and the same thing.
I have my media on an external firewire drive that I've never had problems with but I've never edited 8-Bit files before.
I think if I move to a 2.5GHz machine with 4GB ram will the same thing happen...
What can I do?

I've never had to use an EDL so I don't know how that might work. EDL's are usually used when sending your footage out to other programs like Avid. I don't believe EDL's include certain information such as Filter settings or motion keyframes so this might not work for you. I would simply duplicate the Sequence (right click sequence/duplicate) then rename indicating the new format. Then open the sequence settings (right click/settings) and change it's format or load a preset. This way, I can go back to the older sequence if things aren't working out.
As far as I can see, you just need to change the settings in the sequence back to uncompressed and everything should go back to normal. You may choose to delete any render files under the render manager to avoid mystery problems. However, I would double check the frame size like I mentioned before. If you've been working with DV render files in a sequence that is not 720x480, the footage will not stream out to firewire. DV must be 720x480 to work properly outside Final Cut.
I don't see why you would need slugs. I just use slugs when I'm awaiting footage but want to fill the timeline with something to help me predict the timing I expect in the upcoming footage. I don't see this having much to do with the format of the video since Final Cut slugs are generated dynamically at whatever resolution the sequence settings are.
One quick question. Why uncompressed? Unless you're doing some very elaborate color correction work, or perhaps pixel accurate color keying, the DV-50 CODEC is going to look identical to uncompressed. And DV-50 is only 7MB/sec which should work much better on your limited hard drive. If you want to try DV-50, a quick way to do this might be to use the Media manager and create a new project so you won't mess up the existing project. Select Recompress Media and move it to the DVCPRO50 or DV50 setting. Of course, this would only work well if you are working with the uncompressed source. There is no advantage to converting the DV to DV-50.

Abort Capture on Dropped Frames Feature is Not Saving Captured Media

I have searched for this specific problem here without any results. I'm simply capturing regular SD DV and am getting dropped frames. Even though the dropped frames is an issue that I shouldn't be encountering, that's not the reason for this post. The bigger problem is that FCP 6 is not saving the file prior to the abort.
The manual specifically states on page 308 Part IV " Abort capture on dropped frames: When this option is selected, capture stops immediately when a dropped frame is detected. All media captured before the dropped frame has frame-accurate timecode and is preserved. The resulting media file is saved and a clip for that media file is placed in the Browser."
Well the issue is, FCP is NOT saving the file to my hard drive much less it's NOT placing the clip in my Browser. I can spend 50 minutes and get a dropped frame and it aborts capture (that's what I want it to do) but the time spent capturing that 50 minutes of media is simple gone. Poof, no file, no nothing. So what gives, anyone else seen this problem?
I am up to date on all software.

Hi Michael, thanks for the feedback.
I have a MacPro 2.66 GHz dual-Core Intel Xeon with 5 GB of ram. Internal 250 GB system drive with an additional internal Seagate Barracuda 750 GB drive 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s drive Model number ST3750640AS which I have captured my previous project, and now am capturing only my 2nd project to.
Note: I have only captured 2 projects to date on this new Mac. The first project consisted of around 5 tapes which I captured each one using the CAPTURE NOW feature without any problems (with the exception of the reset timecode which FCP handled as advertised and stated below). So far I've captured 10 tapes from my 2nd project. So I still have well over 500 GB free on that drive.
I am capturing via firewire from a Sony DSR-11. I only use one brand of tape, the Panasonic AY-DVM63AMQ. My cameras are 2 Sony VX2000 and one VX2100. I know for a fact that I need to replace the internal battery in my oldest VX2000 because every time I turn it on, I get a warning that I need to set the clock, and everything else has reset itself to default settings. However, this is not the camera that I have been experiencing timecode reset with. It's my other (not as old) VX2000. I don't use my cams to capture to the computer, that's why I purchased the DSR-11. With this camera, it will reset timecode frequently with the camera still powered on, but stopped (not pause mode). The tape is not being previewed or anything causing it to play past the preexisting recorded media which wold in fact cause a timecode reset as you stated in your last message. So I don't know what is wrong with this camera, I'm fairly certain the internal battery is good because it keeps time on it's own. I'm hoping it just needs a good cleaning, but I'm afraid it may be something worse. I'm getting ready to send it off for a checkup this week.
In any case, about 80% of the time, FCP has been able to properly detect timecode reset when it is encountered, and it does in fact pause recording, save the first file, and reposition itself to the new timecode and start recording a new file as advertised. The other 20% of the time it has simply paused the DSR playback, saved the file, and informed me that the tape has reached the end of the recorded media, which it hasn't but In these cases it's not detecting a timecode reset. I then have to press the stop button in my capture window to actually move the deck from pause to stop mode.
Now, the dropped frame issue on capture is a separate issue. According the the FCP manual (as I stated in my first post) it is suppose to abort capture, but still salvage what has been captured thus far, and it is not doing this. Thus far over the course of these first 2 projects on my Mac, I have only encountered dropped frames on capture twice, and both times while capturing from this 2nd project. The first time this happen, I was doing a lot of stuff in the background, i.e. checking email, browsing some web site, but nothing that consisted of playing video or audio, and I was doing some iChat (simple chat, not screen sharing or video/audio conferencing or anything like that. So I attributed my drop frame to the fact I was doing too much in the background. I then decided that I would NOT be playing around in the background any more while capturing. So I was quite surprised when I received yet another dropped frame notification at around 50 minutes. It did about capture as advertised, but it did not salvage the media it had already captured.
So... that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
Thanks for your time, I appreciate the help.

MAC PRO KONA 3 External SATA dropped frames

Recently our company upgraded to KONA3 card with the new MAC PRO. We were not aware our External SATA drives would not be 100% compaditable with the MAC PRO. The drives do mount and seem to work fine in Standard Def and compressed HD, but start to drop frames when dealing with Uncompress capturing. Spoke with AJA and was referred to use Fibre or SCSI based on the LH FAQ portion of their site.
We've installed a temp Fibre Channel Drives and set the card on port 4, with the KONA3 card on Port 3. Do note the drives are RAID 0.
Still having dropped frames when capturing Uncompress HD to the drives.
My questions are:
1) Why does the MAC PRO not support External SATA?
2) Any ideas to contribute to my Fibre issues?
3) What type of other storage solution has been proven to work?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank You All For Your Professional Experience

My questions are:
1) Why does the MAC PRO not support External SATA?
The only Mac Pro compatible External SATA drive is from CalDigit. This has been proved by people in Barefeats and Creativecow. More and more people are using CalDigit S2VR HD and their FASTA-4e card to do the editing.
3) What type of other storage solution has been proven to work?
S2VR HD has been provedn to work and work very well with great price. Many people are raving about CalDigit's products and its support.

Dropped frames while using multi bit rates in Flash Media Encoder 3

I’m using the Adobe Flash Media Encoder 3 to stream live video to a host computer at 200 Kbps. At the same time, I’m saving a copy to my hard drive at 350 Kbps. The live stream signal seems to be ok. The saved stream has dropped frames. Total bandwidth is about 615 Kbps. I’ve looked at performance marking software to see if my hard drive is slow and to check my CPU speed. I can’t see what I need to save a better copy and still keep the live stream.
Is this just a need for more CPU speed?
The encoder is on a Dell Optiplex 360 Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 @2.53GHz with 3GB RAM. The hard drive is a 152GB IDE ST3160815AS. It has write caching enabled on the disk.

I saw your request for the log file in a different post. This is one of them that was made from my encoding. I don't see any answers in it.

FCP crashes when capturing uncompressed video/drops frames on playback

I have just started using FCP 6 but had similar problems with 5. FCP seems to work fine with lower data rate captures and playback like DV25. When I try to capture uncompressed 8 or 10 bit SD or HD it will capture for a while then eventually crash. Shorter captures of 20 or so minutes will work ok but then the video will drop frames and stall on playback. It will suggest lowering real time audio tracks, changing the RT settings etc., but it is only a 2 audio track capture with video and RT is already set to dynamic. I have successfully done this before so I know the hardware is capable, I have captured and played back 1.5 hours of continuous 10 bit uncompressed SD without incident. The system hasn't had a lot of other stuff installed on it. It seems like there must be some sort of software conflict.

I am capturing to a Ciprico dual channel U320 array attached to a ATTO UL4D SCSI controller. I don't use the system for these data intensive captures all that often and sometimes I have no problem at all and other times I do. I noticed that the raw movies would play in the quicktime player ok without stalling or dropping frames so the issue seems to be with final cut. The last time I had this problem was with playing back 720p DVCProHD files and it would only play for a few minutes and then give a error message about dropping frames and suggesting lowering the number of audio tracks and changing the RT settings. I am thinking there must be a software conflict. We just installed FCP 6 and this was the first capture I did with it and had the same old problem right off the bat.

"Capturing drop-frame media into a non-drop frame clip" error message

I've logged tapes from what will partly be a 3-camera multi-clip project, and have begun to batch capture.
Logged all but one tape some weeks ago, and captured one tape at the time.
Went to batch capture the balance, today. First tape capture went fine. On trying to capture the next tape in the batch I'm getting this message as FCP begins the process:
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.
In analyzing the situation, the only reason I can think of for the error message is that some of the reels were logged on a DSR-11 that had been set to NON drop-frame, and for which I didn't have the remote control to change the setting.
I haven't run into this while capturing other clips, but those may have been captured via a different deck that does only drop-frame.
So, I'm looking at next steps:
1: Capture anyway and possibly regret that I did that.
(One person on another list reported the same problem, that he had ignored it without any obvious complications.)
2: Relog all the problem clips using my current deck, speeding up the process by using the "go to" window to drive the tape to the existing in and out points and then marking i/o's...
Or...
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Ted.

We've been seeing this stupid error message since v3 and it's never mattered in the slightest. It is always incorrect, anyway. The clips are always drop and the sequences are always drop. It's an FCP programming glitch/bug/screwup. Someday they may or may not fix the mechanism that triggers the warning.

Drop Frame media warning

Im capturing footage from a DVCAM deck using the normal DV-NTSC Easy Setup, however, after logging the clips and preparing a batch capture, I'm getting a Warning prompt:
WARNING: You are about to capture Drop Frame media from a device currently detecting or configured for Non-Drop Frame media. If you proceed, you may experience changes in logged in and out points, problems relinking media, or removal of master clip relationships.
I've capture DV footage forever, and I've never had problem like this. This production house works in Drop Frame and my FCP is set for Drop Frame. I've tried setting the deck and FCP capture preset to Non Drop Frame yet I still get the prompt and the capture error (the capture is actually stopped as dropped frames were detected). Any help?

Thanks for your help. I tried right clicking on the In point (which isn't set) on the Browser and It had a check mark for non-drop frame. So I tried right clickin on Media Start and I had the option of Drop Frame or Non Drop Frame. I chose Drop Frame, but I still didn't see any change in the capture process. I just went to the User Preferences and turned off Abort Capture with Dropped Frames and it's capturing alright now. I'm still very mystified by this because I shut down the computer and tried the Batch Capture and it captured just fine (without the non drop frame prompt), but when I put in a new tape the prompt came up again when trying to capture. A restart of the computer didn't help this time.

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.
R.

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

Media Manager Trim changes timecode to Drop-frame.

Have a project with footage shot on AJA Kona Ki at 29.97Psf using Apple ProRes 422(HQ). Timecode base Non-Drop-frame time-of-day timecode. Editing in CS6.0.2 on Mac OS 10.7. Trying to trim project using media manager so that only the used media can get color-graded using Filmlight's Baselight. Once the project is trimmed and new trimmed media is created, we export an EDL from the new sequence and conform in the Baselight.
However it seems Premiere is changing the timecode of the new clips to Drop-frame timecode. The EDL seems to reflect this and the Baselight can't conform. We've imported the trimmed media into FCP 7 and confirmed that it sees the new media as Drop-frame timecode. What the heck?
Can anyone help to replicate this issue and confirm if we're seeing what we're seeing. Think it is a huge bug of some kind. If I can get someone to help confim, I'll submit a bug report.
While on the topic of drop-frame. Premiere also seems to think is needs to compensate for DF code when you import a sequence from a Premiere project straight into Adobe Media Encoder. For instance a sequence that is set to start at 01:00:00:00 imports into AME with starting timecode of 01:00:03:15. Or at least it's always 3:15 off from whatever timecode the sequence is set to start at. That sounds like the offset needed to compensate for the difference between NDF and DF code. This makes bringing one sequence in and setting in and outs while in AME a very big pain. Such as a sequence with 10-30sec spots starting at the even minute. Can anyone help to confirm this issue as well?

I just looked at the data in the edl. Exported also a new edl from premiere.
In the Premiere edl, there is many FCM at start, so I added one in the AVID, and bang, project is starting correctly.

Dropped frames issue on a G5 2.7DP w/DV footage

Let me first tell you my setup:
G5 2.7 DP
8 GB RAM
WiebeTech TrayDock eSATA 4-bay drive enclosure w/Sonnet 4+4 eSATA PCI Card
(2) 400 GB Seagate Barracudas in the enclosure RAIDed in a striped config using Apple's Disk Utility
10.4
FCP 5
At seemingly random times, playback from the timeline will stutter and stop, thus throwing up the dropped frames dialog box. If I re-play from the same point, it will normally play. This has happened on several current projects in which I'm working in DV. I've also worked on a project in 8bit uncompressed using my Kona LS card with the same drives, and had the same error.
I've had this issue ever since I setup this system--from the first install of FCP5 to the most recent update of 5.0.3, as well as from 10.4.2 to 10.4.3. I've tried turning off the internal Airport card in the G5, and quitting all other programs.
There is a little utility that came with the Kona card to test data rate of your drives. I'm getting well over 100 MB/s Read, and slightly less write rates, so it seems like drive speed isn't an issue.
What is the weak link here? WiebeTech was nice enough to send me a replacement eSATA PCI card, and the issue hasn't gone away, so it wasn't a bad card, although I guess there could be some flaw inherent in all of the cards.
What other steps should I take to try and isolate/solve this problem? This is kind of embarrasing that I can't play DV footage on the timeline without the possibility of dropping frames--even when working with only one layer of video.
I'm capturing video to the eSATA RAID, and my project files/graphics reside on an internal SATA drive in G5 (not the boot drive--I added another seagate 250 gb). Seems like there should be enough throughput in this thing to handle basic edits, but I'm beginning to have my doubts....
Your ideas?????

Clay,
Regarding your statement "My thinking initially about my workflow was to not keep them on the same drive as the footage because my feeling is that the RAID isn't as "safe" as the single 250 GB drive I have inside the G5".
I store all of my media, GFX and project files on whatever FW drive I happen to be using for a project. I NEVER have media for a specific project on two or more drives. For safety's sake, I ALWAYS have my Autosave Vault set to my internal drive, with a relatively high save rate (every 10 min). That way if the FW drive ever failed completely, I'd at least have a recent copy of the project file to work with (even if I have to redigitize the footage or redo the GFX). All I can say is keep all of your media (per project) on one drive - it's been kind of the Bible in this industry for years, and as far as I know it hasn't changed.
As far as RAID's go, I'm no expert. But if I remember correctly, back in my old Avid days we also used to avoid having the media on different striped partitions - something else you may want to try if you're media is spread across a few stripes.
It seems like I've run across more than a few posts here regarding the same problem happening on Dual 2.7's. You may want to do a more thorough search here to see what you come up with. All I can say is I'm running FCP 5.0.3 on a G5 Dual 2.0 with only 2.5 meg of RAM and have had no dropped frame issues.
Try Matt's suggestion of playing some footage off of your boot drive (NOT recommended for everyday use!). If it works then it's got to be a problem with your RAID and not FCP.
Good Luck!

Dropped frames during playback in FCP 7

I have searched high and low, asked every FCP expert I know, and noone can help me.
So I turn to this forum and you the users for help.
I just upgraded from an old DVCAM to a new Canon 60D, which shoots full HD. Usually I never have problems editing with or without text, but all of a sudden I got dropped frames when I put text on my project. No warning of dropped frames though. Just some skipping and pausing before the clip continued.
I was running FCP 6 but upgraded to FCP 7 in hopes of it removing the problem. It just got worse. Now I can't even playback video or text by itself (I am testing with 5-10 second bits). Whenever the screen should go blank I instead get the unpleasant warning of dropped frames. The same thing happens when I play text by itself or over the video. When I try exporting it (to see if it is just a playback error) QT and VLC Player both show the most hideous grey, green and pixellated versions of my (still very short) clip.
And if anyone suggests changing RT options - where do I find those options? The RT button on my timeline only shows the options: "play base layer only", "use playback settings" and "Full quality" - and the problems keep showing up in all three selections.
Could my settings be off? I am not sure I have found the right ones for the footy from a Canon 60D.
I hope someone is able to help me with this. It is the most frustrating experience I have ever had through my many years with FCP.

Switching from DV to HD can be a nightmare if you were 'getting away with things' using DV material that you really won't be able to in HD.
First - Where is the media? If it is on the system drive of the macbook pro... get it off of there!! It should be on an external drive - FW800 will get you going better than anything else...
Second - simple fix, but make sure... are any of your windows overlapping? is your canvas window set to FIT TO WINDOW? If there are scroll bars in your canvas or viewer that would be bad too.
Third -- let's figure out what and how you are converting the material off the 60D.
What is the workflow you are using? You should probably be editing in some form of Apple ProRes... I like the LT setting - minimal quality loss with max gain in bit rates.

How to Export UYVY 4:2:2 8-bit Uncompressed AVI?

I've been doing a lot of testing in Premiere Pro CS5 (on Windows) but cannot figure out how to export video to a generic 4:2:2 8-bit uncompressed AVI file. Here's some background - I've captured some video to an uncompressed Matrox AVI file (via an MXO2 I/O Device). Now I've done some simple cutting and need to get the video off Premiere's timeline (and into another yet-to-be-determined multimedia application). I don't want to lose any quality - hence my requirement for 4:2:2 uncompressed AVI. Also, the file needs to be a standard/generic AVI that doesn't require any special CODECs installed.
In Premiere's File > Export > Media window, there seems to be 2 ways of getting uncompressed 4:2:2 AVIs:
Option 1:
Format: Uncompressed Microsoft AVI
Video Codec: UYVY
Quality: 100
Width: 720
Height: 576
Frame Rate: 25
Field Type: Upper First
Aspect: PAL (1.0940)
Audio Codec: Uncompressed
Sample Rate: 48000 Hz
Channels: Stereo
Sample Type: 16 bit
Option 2:
Format: Microsoft AVI
Video Codec: Uncompressed UYVY 422 8bit
Quality: (Greyed out at 100)
Width: 720
Height: 576
Frame Rate: 25
Field Type: Upper First
Aspect: PAL (1.0940)
Audio Codec: Uncompressed
Sample Rate: 48000 Hz
Channels: Stereo
Sample Type: 16 bit
Audio Interleave: 0
Option 1 is great except that the audio codec detected is "0xfffe extensible wave format" (according to GSpot). I can play the video on practically any machine including something as old as Windows Media Player 9 running on Windows 2000! The audio plays back fine as well in Windows Media Player. However, audio does not play (not detected correctly) in VLC media player, or in Sony Vegas-type software. FYI, the video codec detected (by GSpot) is "UYVY (packed 4:2:2)".
Option 2, on the other hand, is quite the contrary. The video does not play in any version of Windows Media Player (regardless of operating system), but the audio plays fine though. The audio codec detected (according to GSpot) is the standard "PCM audio" format and the video codec is again "UYVY (packed 4:2:2)". In VLC media player, both the video and audio play fine. But in other editing software such as Edius, the video is not detected and only the audio is loaded onto the timeline.
What I would like is a generic 4:2:2 uncompressed AVI file which has audio that works in anything. Is there some setting/parameter that I have missed? Can I customise Option 1 with "PCM audio" rather than "0xfffe extensible wave format"? I want to avoid "Video Codec: None" if at all possible given that the file size will be significantly larger for absolutely no quality gain (I presume this is uncompressed 4:4:4?).
Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Hi Jim, I too am confused!
Why should the video codec for Option 1 be V210? Isn't this reserved for 10-bit video?
http://www.fourcc.org/yuv.php#V210
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS398C372B-B748-4ef6-BA0D-396D2E360707.ht ml
I would have thought that the UYVY option was the correct choice for 8-bit video.
http://www.fourcc.org/yuv.php#UYVY
Videos exported using Option 2 definately do not play correctly in Windows Media Player - I get no video, just audio. I have tried many different computers running different versions of Windows and Windows Media Player. I'm running Premiere CS5 v5.03 if that makes any difference.
I don't understand why videos from Option 1 play fine in Windows Media Player even though the systems don't have AJA hardware installed (or any video I/O device) - they are just plain vanilla office PCs

Dropped Frames...

I am editing using Premiere Pro for CS4. I edited some footage on a sequence with the incorrect settings and am now having major troubles exporting the video.
I shoot HD footage (1280x720, at 24 fps) with a Nikon D90.
What I did wrong initially was to edit the footage with a frame rate of 25 instead of 24/23.976 . When I realized my mistake, I copied this footage into a new sequence with the correct settings and frame rate.
However, now the footage is very jumpy and drops frames after it is exported. I looked for a feature that would allow me to remove the distortion due to copying the edited footage between sequences with different frame rates (like Final Cut's "remove attributes", "distort"). However, so far I cannot find anything.
If this is not the main problem, I am guessing that I am exporting the video incorrectly. The only preset that allows me to have both HDV and 1280x720 (the size of my video) is H.264. However, this same preset only allows for 23.976 fps, not 24 fps (which is what the D90 records in). Could this be the issue?
Any ideas? I would love some help!

OK, I downloaded the video from Vimeo, and while it's more than likely a reencode of your encode, it did reveal something interesting. First off, the info pulled from the file using MediaInfo:

What makes me think (positive) that your file is reencoded is that the "Writing Library" is listed as a fairly old build of the open source x264 encoder--I imagine you used AME to export this file originally. In any event, this is only interesting if, well, you're interested in looking at this kind of stuff (I am, anyway!). Ahem...
After I downloaded the file, I played it back in MPC, and it played pretty much the same as it did on Vimeo... this is more or less to be expected. However, I noticed something interesting during playback, which I explored a little more in the next part.
Finally, I imported the MP4 file into Premiere, where I'd have frame-by-frame playback control. This is where I confirmed what I thought I saw in the MPC playback. If you load the clip (at least this reencoded version--I have no idea whether this is happening on your original or not, so you'll have to experiment) into the source monitor and step through one frame at a time, you'll quickly see something odd: after 23 frames, the 24th frame is a repeat of the 23rd! This happens over and over, every second: 23 changing frames followed by one that is the same as the frame immediately preceding it. Now, I can't tell if frames are being dropped, because I have no way of knowing what's missing; you'd have to confirm that by comparing the encoded file to the originals in the timeline as I described previously.
So, what does this all mean? I really can't say, unfortunately. Something fishy is going on. Did you by any chance accidentally export from the 25p timeline to a 24p destination file? That could have the effect I'm seeing, but then again, maybe not.
Do a little bit of tinkering with your project and the encodes, and see what you can uncover. I believe it's a simple thing; it's just hard to get to the bottom of it without looking directly at the issue.

Drop-frame to non drop-frame error

I just upgraded to Final Cut Studio 2, FCP 5.0.1 and I get this error message with every single tape I try to capture: "you are about to capture Non-Drop Frame media from a device currently detecting Drop Frame media." So, I click OK and capture anyway. The media is captured and looks fine - no audio sync problems. Then in the middle of my batch, before the second clip, I get the following error message: a change in time code rate was detected during capture of clip." I click OK and it captures fine anyway. Then later I get the audio sample rate error message too - it says: "The audio sample rate on one or more of your captured files does not match the sample rate on your source tape." But I capture anyway and everything looks and sounds fine.
I tried changing decks. Same problem. I checked the tapes and they were recorded as droop-frame and at 48 KHz 16 bits, same setting I'm using (DV NTSC drop frame 48 KHz)
Does anyone know if this is a Final cut bug or a real problem I should be concerned about?

It's neither... if you used consumer gear to shoot with, you'll get errors like this because consumer formats such as HDV, and DV are plain not that precise, but normally, you can just ignore them. As long as you're set up to capture DV at 48k and you shot DV at 48k, normally there's no problems even if these error messages are recorded.
