FCP External Video Playback problem with HDV

Hey all. I just got the Canon HV30 HD camcorder and it is excellent. I am able to import the HDV footage to FCP no problem. I'm recording in 24p mode by the way.
I can't seem to get playback from the timeline back to the Canon so I can see the edited footage on the Camcorder's LCD screen. I've tried everything. All the settings seem to be grayed out. How am I suppose to get my edited footage from the computer back to tape? Help is much appreciated!

I'm not the person at our facility that does this, but we do it all the time. However we are using the Sony HDV decks, 25U or something like that.
I have also seen the stuttering video you described, I'm not sure why it does this on some projects and not others, it is very random. When it does stutter I render out a complete self contained Quicktime and then print to tape from that. However, I occasionally still have this problem with that? But it does seem to help more often than not.

External Video Playback Problem

When viewing material in the source viewer playback on my external monitor randomly freezes. The playback on my edit display is fine, only the external playback has issues. This started happening after upgrading to 7.
Content is DV and timeline and external display set to match.
Using ATI Radeon X1900 XT.

HELP... My external video freezes when ever I use my external 1920x1080 monitor. Everything was fine prior the upgrade to FCP 7.0.1 or maybe even 7.0 The previous thread said this is a known issue. Do you have any links to Apple addressing this problem or is Apple aware there is a problem? It started happening to my system back in middle of 2009. I thought the solution would be to upgraded my video card from a 256 NVIDIA P345 to ATI RADEON 1900 with 512 ram. This made it less jerkey but the problem is still very hard to live with. Can anyone shed some light on this issue? Thanks in advance.

Video Playback Problem with Developer Walkthrough of the Continuous Measurement and Logging Sample Project

Hi!
I have serious problems playing the video Developer Walkthrough of the Continuous Measurement and Logging Sample Project.
As the video pauses every few seconds for buffering. I am not able to watch it. Just wanted to check if you can playback the video:
http://zone.ni.com/wv/app/doc/p/id/wv-3401
This happens on any browser (chrome, ie, firefox). I am using Win XP and the latest Adobe Flash Player. About 2 weeks ago NI Germany confirmed the problem and promised to contact NI USA as they are responsible for these videos. So far nothing happened. In the meantime I received an e-mail that the problem could not be confirmed although they had confirmed it before...
Thank you for any feedback.

Video playback problem with no answers

I'm having a small issue with my Front row. When I insert a DVD and play it using the OS X DVD player it works fine.
When I switch to Front Row and try to play the DVD, the video stutters every few seconds. I have the latest Front Row installed, and I do not have an Intel Imac. I have a 20" G5 Imac with the PowerPC processor and 1.5 gigs of RAM. Any ideas on what could cause this issue in Front row and not the DVD player? Any help would be great!

Any DVD or video file of any type. They play just fine in Quicktime, DVD player, or even Media Central.
I've got all the latest updates, and have reinstalled the OS several times. I know this happened to intel Imac G5's but I have a PowerPC G5 with isight. Can't seem to find much on my issue.

IPad 5.0.1 update video playback problems

HI is anyone else having playback problems with videos on IPad 1 after 5.0.1 update???
As in the playback not atcually working at all???

See if any of the following Videos 'fixes' work.
Try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option if the two above don't work is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I'm having video playback problems in the timeline, Premiere Elements12

I'm having video playback problems in the timeline, Premiere Elements12.The clip keeps stuttering. The whole video is 45 minutes long, is HD and has added music tracks. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Driver-related video playback problems.

Hi,
I've been experiencing less than stellar video playback for a while. My system is P4 1.6A 256MB RAM with msi FX 5700 128 MB running on WIN98 SE . The thing is that before upgrading my drivers to 50.XX series , I never had video playback problems, totally smooth, then after the 50.XX series, certain video clips froze for a second when opened, then when I installed the 5306 drivers, my system used to freeze for a second before video playback and video seeking stuttered and froze a lot. Since upgrading to 56.55 and then 56.64 version , the freezeups and stutters are gone but now the quality of the video playback is really crappy and also there is this horizontal border around the video and it looks kinda 'squinched?!?' . This erratic video behaviour has been going on through out my upgrade from a FX5200 to FX5700 card and with both MSI and nvidia drivers. Presently I'm using nvidia non-branded drivers 56.64. Also, why do these newer drivers keep dummy-proofing there options pages, you cannot even experiment enough with the settings anymore and I'm afraid Riva tuner or powerstrip might not work with the newer releases.
I haven't experienced any problems with video games, just video playback, either windowed or full-screen. I would really appreciate any help with this problem, its getting to be like an itch at the back you just can't scratch.
Thank you

What power supply u are using?

Update on playback problems with AIR 3.5 on desktop

Adobe has received reports that desktop AIR 3.5 users of BBC iPlayer and Digital Theatre Desktop Player are no longer able to play or download video after upgrading from AIR 3.4 or earlier. Specifically, the user will attempt to play the video and will get a black video window or will fail to successfully download videos. Adobe is working on a permanent resolution for the issue in AIR 3.5. In parallel, Adobe is working closely with the BBC and Digital Theatre to offer support and investigate interim resolutions. We will publish an update as soon as we have released the fix.
In the meantime, the work-around for affected users is to migrate back to AIR 3.4. The following link provides instructions for determining the version of AIR currently installed on your machine. If you believe you may be experiencing a video playback problem caused by migrating to AIR 3.5, your video service should be able to tell you whether they believe going back to AIR 3.4 or earlier will resolve the problem. If instructed to do so, the following steps here can help you uninstall your current version and locate and install a specific AIR version for installation on your Windows or Mac PC.
Please feel free to report your issue or reproducible steps here and we will alert you once a fix has been put in place. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your continued support.

Please note that I have followed the BBC's instructions to uninstall Air v3.5 and iPlayer Desktop and then install Air v3.4 and iPlayer Desktop, but contrary to what they and you say, this has made no difference - iPlayer still can't download programmes to iPlayer Desktop and it still can't find the programmes I had previously downloaded. I surmise that maybe uninstalling wasn't enough and that some fault remains that still prevents the programme from working. I am not an IT expert, so I would need more comprehensive instructions to fix this.
You may like to note that I downloaded Air v3.5 several days before iPlayer Desktop failed, and I am pretty sure that I used iPlayer Desktop in between times. After it failed, it was very reluctant to even open, let alone do anything when, after repeated instructions, it finally did open.
You may also like to note that I began to experience a ridiculous amount of buffering on radio playback straight from the BBC website before and after iPlayer Desktop failed. I don't think it can have been a broadband issue, as I could stream both TV and radio live and I could stream TV playback with no problem. Since reverting to Air v3.4, I have had no buffering. I doubt whether this is a coincidence.
I have an Acer 5745PG with Windows 7, Intel Core i3-350M, NVIDIA GeForce 310M and I use Firefox.
Don't you guys beta test stuff?

Why am I having imbedded video playback problems in Lion?

Hello all,
I'm been having problems viewing web videos on my 2011 MBPro 13'' w/ OS X Lion. Any time of web video I have normal sound by the video frames get all jumpy, almost like its less than 1fps. The only web videos that do not have this problem is when I watch a youtube video on youtube.com. If I watch imbedded youtube videos, I have the same skittish video playback problem.
I have my adobe flash updated and I used Google Chrome as my web browser.
Anyone else have a similar problem? Fixes? Thanks!
-Sean

Two things to keep in mind
There is a forum for Lion, another for MBP owners, and this is not.
And yes you will find lots and lots of threads of same.... no one looks at those that were "Solved"

Playback problems with external FLV's

Hi everyone,
I am working on a site that loads all of the pages into a
holder as swf's. Everything in the site works well, except that the
first page takes a little longer to load than I wish it would. I
want to find a good pre-loader but, for now, I am trying a
different approach.
The intro / opening page is a video I made in After Effects
and imported into flash's time line, it is around 2.3MB and loads
in about 5 seconds (to start playing) as a SWF. To make it load
faster I re-exported from After Effects using cue points to trigger
copy changes that had been sequenced in the timeline with the video
before which works great, and imported the video as an external
file that is loaded when the SWF loads.
The problem is, once the "page" loads and plays and I
navigate to another page, then go back to the home page, the whole
flash system seems to be running much slower. Even rollovers and
fades are taking a lot longer than before and the video playback is
very choppy. The intro is a repeating flv that loops with AS3 that
I found in another forum.
Is there a way to "reset" the flash container so that each
time it loads a SWF there is no residual data left behind? That's
the only reason I can think of that would cause this kind of issue.
I know that "unload" is not a function that is still available in
AS3.
Any ideas or suggestions are more than welcome.
Thanks!
Jeremiah

You should backup your data regardless.    It is not a question of if you will lose data but when.   "Do you feel lucky today?" (asked Clint Eastwood in "Dirty Harry"). Here are several solutions:
     https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1992
     A backup with bad node is still better than no backup at all. Once you are backed up, you can use Alsoft Disk Warrior to repair those nodes, if the hardware of the drive isn't failing.
     You should also be aware that node issues can start when the hard drive gets over 85% full.

No external video playback on 24' LED Display

Hi,
I'm having a problem using my 24' LED mini display port Cinema Display as my external video monitor with my macbook. I have trashed prefs, switched from all to single frames and back. Refreshed connections. Started new projects. etc.... All I get is the frame that I pause on from the viewer on the display but no actual playback except scrubbing. I'm using Final Cut (6) Studio 2. I have started from scratch many times and no success. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Sorry but I'm not trying to bump this but I can't find the solution anywhere. Motion and Livetype uses the second display in sync with no problems. FCP6 which once worked fine under this setup now only allows either the viewer to play or the monitor to play playback. They will not play together as they once did. Is anyone else with this setup having the same issue?
Macbook Pro (late 2008)
Final Cut Studio 2
24' LED Display (as external video monitor)
When single frame is selected viewer plays back only, all frames LED display playback only. I'm almost certain this is due to an update because this worked just yesterday and nothing has changed except the OS update. Like I said motion and the other studio programs use the LED display for synced playback from the viewer just fine. FCP is the only problem. Its not the end of the world and I can switch back and forth or break out my AJA IO but I liked the way it worked. Anyone?

Are you having iTunes video playback problems?

Do you have iTunes Store-bought videos whose playback is terrible, all choppy and full of freezes while playing back in iTunes?
Have you copied one of those iTunes videos to a thumb drive and had it play back perfectly?
This problem is not fixed by any of the Quicktime adjustments that Apple suggests on their "how to fix video playback issues" page, and, aside from this video playback issue, iTunes is working fine on my machine. As I said, the videos work fine, too, if played from a thumb drive instead of the hard drive.
This has been going on for weeks, and people have been posting about it here on the forum, but, to my knowledge, there's no fix. Just silence.
It might be useful if people who are seeing this problem post some information about their systems. For all I know, all of us who are seeing this problem have one particular vendor's computer.
The computer I am having this problem with is a new HP laptop that came with Vista. This one:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericDocument?docname=c00846935&cc=us&dlc=e n&lc=en&jumpid=regR1002USEN
1.6 GHz AMD Turion ™ 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology TL-52
2 X 512KB L2 Cache
2048MB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 (UMA)
120GB 5400RPM (SATA)
I think the problem has to do with SATA, but I don't really know, except that my computer has it and I am able to play these videos perfectly from a thumb drive but not the SATA hard drive.
If you are having this problem, please consider posting your computer's info. Thanks.
HP Pavilion Entertainment PC Other OS Vista

OK, I figured it out... I too have a dv6000 with Vista and I have been trying to fix this terrible itunes video playback thing and this is what I found. For whatever reason the NVidia driver in the dv series doesn't play nice with Vista. They say that they are looking into it but have no response other than that. Somehow the data from the hard drive isn't fast enough. So, reading this I figured that if that REALLY is the problem that I could use a external drive and have the videos come from there, and Voila!! It works like a charm, no skipping, no stalling, no more blue screens. I hope this is helpful, I know what a pain this can be.
ALSO, apparently some think that you can't watch itunes video while using Vista's "ReadyBoost". I haven't had that issue personally, but I have seen a lot that have who disabled it and had it work fine.
Let me know if this works for everyone else.

Problems with HDV footage from sony HDR - HC9

I have a new sony HDR-HC9 cam corder. I want to shoot in hi def (HDV) format for best quality, but I produce standard def DVDs as a finished product. I was hoping to use the built in iLink conversion from HDV to DV when downloading to the computer into iMovie. I have had many problems with this.
Usually, when I set it up to do the downconversion, I see a blue screen in iMovie, although iMovie will ff and rew the camera, no images come across. I experimented with setting the camera in DV record mode at the same time as I had the iLink down conversion set, and this appeared to work. I started downloading an hour tape, and when I came back 65minutes later (after it should have been done), saw the message that iMovie had quit. Reopened the project, and saw an hour worth of footage in the trash, but it was too crazy to reorder the clips from the trash back to the clips pane.
I resigned to import in hdv (1080i) format and not mess with hardware downconversion. This worked fine. I then added some chapter markers and shared the project with iDVD. I saved the project as an image file and then mounted it to check it for errors. The video was OK, but towards the end of the project, the sound was out of sync by a few seconds with the video.
I deleted encoded assets from the iDVD project, then reburned (save as image file). Same defect.
I then started a new iMovie project in standard DV widescreen, and dragged all of the clips from the HDV (1080i) project into the time line. It took over an hour for my mac mini to run the conversion, but the movie in iMovie appeared OK. I redid the iDVD project, and saved as image file. It appears to have worked correctly (although I have not looked at it on my widescreen TV yet to assess image quality.
Questions:
1) Has anyone had any luck getting HDR-HC9 iLink HDV-DV hardware conversion to work with iMovie, consistently?
2) Can anyone comment on image quality issues with converting HDV to DV footage using iMovie software.
3) Has anyone seen audio sync problems with iDVD from HDV original footage.
Thanks

Video playback issue with 3rd gen iPod Touch

Hi all,
I just recently discovered an issue with my iPod touch 3rd generation video playback. The issue just reared its head today and I have no idea what I could've done to cause it. It's a small issue but frustrating enough to cause a problem.
If I watch a video normally (by opening up the Videos section and picking it), it'll play through to the end, then start over again, then stop. This only happens if I choose videos randomly, and doesn't happen if I play videos in a playlist.
What could be the issue?

I'll second that. I've been having the same problem since the last software update

Iphone 5 video playback problems over quicktime?

ive recently got a new laptop, pre windows 8, and downloaded quicktime pro in order to play my iphone videos right side up because windows media player will play them upside down alot of the time. something i immeadiately noticed was that all my videos from my iphone 5, when played back via quicktime, have a big judder/skip in them every 2 seconds whereis all my iphone 4 videos playback no problem. the few videos i have that are recorded right side up from my iphone 5, because of orientation of the phone during recording, play perfectly fine on windows media player so this this leads me to believe it is a quicktime issue. i have updated to the latest quicktime just a few days ago with hopes of it being corrected but no such luck. im curious if anyone else is having this same problem or knows a fix? also if anyone knows how to flip videos with quicktime so i can just watch them on windows media would be great also. i found a write up how to do it but everytime i try it, after i save it it just reverts back to its orgional orientation. thanks for any help, Jamie

Add me to the list of people having this problem.
I'm running Macbook on 10.5.8. Quicktime is 7.6.9, in case this has any bearing on things.
OK......I just searched a few places and came up with this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perian
It's called Perian, and it's one of a few different options you could use to solve this problem....I just installed it (free), and now the videos play without a hitch. It's a plug-in for Quicktime. There are others that can supposedly do the same thing--look around and give it a shot.
(Also, supposedly this Perian is no longer in open development, and may not work with the newest Quicktime update for the newest Macs, but, like I said, there are other options out there that may work for you instead.)
I have a feeling my problem may have been due to my particular Quicktime/Macbook setup being a bit outdated, but who knows?
Good luck!
