FCP X drops frames resulting in thousands of clips

I have a Mac Pro, 2 x 2.66 GHZ 6-Core Intel Xeon machine with 24 GB of  1333 MHZ DDR3 memory.
I have both miniDV videotapes recorded on camcorders as well as on JVC recorder. I also have S-VHS videotapes recorded on the JVC recorder (which is a dual recorder, with the miniDV deck on the left and S-VHS deck on the right)
Whenever I try to import video from either deck (or from a Canon Elura camcorder) into FCP X, I get thousands of separate clips ranging from a few tenths of a second in length to 20 seconds or so in length. When these clips are loaded into the timeline, there is a video and audio stutter whenever the playback cursor crosses between adjacent clips, indicating that a frame or two or more has been dropped. Making a compound clip is no help, the stuttering due to dropped frames persists. This makes it completely impossible to edit since no clip is long enough to be usable. The dropped frames seem to be due to the program, not the cameras, tape deck or videotapes since the problem occurs across all camera platforms as well as the two videotape formats.  It's as if FCP X has a hair trigger in identifying some variance in frame rates that it judges to be a dropped frame, and immediately terminates the import of that little clip and goes on to the next import, only to repeat the same process THOUSANDS OF TIMES. The problem persists whether I record imports to my SSD startup disk, to my internal RAID, or to peripheral disks.
This did not happen in previous versions of FCP using the exact same video equipment and tape formats but a different computer. There seems to be no way to tell FCP X to ignore any variation of time code and I'm concerned that this problem will render my current equipment and videotapes worthless.
Has anyone else had this problem to this degree? I've searched other threads on similar issues of a minor nature (separate clips every few minutes), and I've tried all the recommended maneuvers. I've never seen anything discussed about the type of problem I'm having.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Russ, thanks for your reply. It's unclear how joining clip fragments together with Streamclip would be any different than joining the clip fragments together in a new compound clip.?
Luis, bom dia
There appear to be no timecode breaks in the tapes. The duration of some of the shots is several minutes and when I watch the timecode display on the decks or on the camcorder, it appears to run smoothly. So any timecode break must be a millisecond or two. And for some reason, QuickTime gives an error message when I try to set up a new movie recording: "The operation could not be completed."

  • 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?

  • FCP 7 drops frames.  Is there a way to fix this using Mountain?

    I use FCP 7 (won't touch FCP X) and just got a new iMac computer running Mountain Lion.  I've read there is some people who are having compatibility problems.   I'm seeing dropped frames in all my footage.   Is there a way to fix this?

    May be a non domain joined machine configured with local DNS is trying to contact an AD for authentication or it can be someone trying to use this PC for malicious purpose. I would suggest use wireshark or netmon to capture the traffic to analyze the source
    & destination for this machine which is trying to contact AD. I would also suspect the error can be due to infection.

  • Ex. device detecting dropped frames (from tape) and breaking clips!

    I am using a Panasonic mini-dv camcorder to capture footage with on Final Cut Pro and the camera is being pretty sensitive to any glitches/dropped frames and is messing up capturing clips. When I try it multiple times it will sometimes not stop/find glitches, but this is very time consuming (have about 80 hours to go through!). I have gained some access to a mini-dv deck and that is working, but I also need to use the camera due to deadlines.
    Is there a way to make this sensitivity in capturing turn off? Any suggestions/tips? (I've already gone into User Preferences and deselected 'Abort Capture on Dropped Frames' and that didn't change it).
    Thanks!

    #12 Dropped frames on capture/playback
    Shane's Stock Answer #12: Dropped frames on capture/playback
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58640
    1) Do not capture to your main system drive. Since it is busy reading the operating system and application files, it will intermittently drop frames during capture. Capture to a separate internal drive, or external hard drive (firewire and eSATA for example).
    2) Deactivate any anti-virus/filesaver software, including Norton and Virex. For some reason these programs think that the large files created when you capture media are in fact caused by some sort of virus, and they try to prevent this.
    3) Check the format of the drive you are capturing to. It should be Mac OS Extended, journaling off. If it isn't, copy your files from it and re-initialize it. If it is any other format, you will encounter problems. If not at first, then eventually.
    4) Trash the FCP preference files. Use FCP Rescue available here:
    http://www.fcprescue.com
    5) Make sure that the hard drives you are capturing to are fast enough to handle the footage being captured to it. A regular firewire 400 drive cannot capture uncompressed HD, or even uncompressed standard definition. A RAID array of drives might be in order for these formats.

  • Dropped frames when playing section in the timeline w/audio, Viewer plays fine. Plays for 1 sec, no sound, nothing on audio meters. Problem out the blue, made no conscious changes. FCP 7.0.3. iMac, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5. OS10.8.4. Thanx.

    New to FCP. Dropped frames when playing section in the timeline w/audio, Viewer plays fine tho. Plays for bout 1 sec with no sound, nothing showing coming through the audio meters. Problem came out the blue, made no conscious changes to settings. FCP 7.0.3. iMac, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5. OS10.8.4. If any other info needed please let me know, will be happy to provide it. Thanx.

    Thank you for the help. Below is my Source footage and sequence settings.
    The other footage I have on the timeline is an mp3 file made in Garage Band and some footage I sent to Motion to edit. I do have some offline media on there since I switched computers but FCP had been working fine for a few months with it on there. I have not tried trashing my FCP Preferences. If I did would I have to back up my project?

  • Drop Frame being read as Non-Drop Frame

    Hey,
    I'm working in FCP HD 5.1.4 and our guys are shooting audio at drop frame, and video at drop frame, and yet when we import the media into FCP, the Video is in Drop frame, but the audio appears to be Non-drop so we're getting BAD sync (some clips 30 seconds, others up to a min.). We're using TOD T/C and it's really important that we convert it cuz we'll shoot 8 hr days, and the first few clips arn't that bad but after so many hours, the sync gets worse and worse.
    We're using XDCAM Sony PDW-1500 deck for the video transfer and the audio is BWFs from an external Audio receiver, then it's backed up on lacie drives (prob using compressor) then we're syncing in FCP.
    Any thoughts?
    Fraser

    FraserPost, according to Apple in the Late-breaking FCP news PDF on pg.4, Broadcast Wave Audio Files imported will always be interpreted with non-drop frame TC.
    Highlight the clip in the bin, choose Modify Menu option and choose Timecode. You can then change it to drop frame in the options panel.
    Then your material should synch up.
    For future reference but still notable, if you import an aiff, mp3 or another type of audio file without TC, the file will create TC dictated by the Sequence preset setting. This I found out the hard way. One has to shut down FCP and start it up again for the change to take effect on material imported.

  • Dropped frames question

    Late 2007 MacPro/5G RAM/Editing to dedicated internal scratch disk/HDV sequence/AIFF Audio 48khz/FCP Version 6.0.4
    I don't know why I am having this problem, but whenever I try to play a sequence, it plays fine when it is playing through a rendered video track over music, but as soon as the playhead gets to audio-only portions of the sequence (meaning no video above the audio track) it starts dropping frames immediately. I have set the user preferences to "Audio Playback--Low (faster)" but this still seems to do nothing. I have played with the usual RT settings - nothing. Why would FCP be dropping frames just trying to play the audio alone? Audio settings match the sequence settings. What the heck? Love some help, thanks.

    that keeps the frames from dropping. This can't be considered a fix for this though, can it?
    Well it fixed it didn't it?
    In earlier versions of FCP I always had to do this to stop dropped frames. Other FCP editors tell me that with FCP 5 that it was no longer necessary. I still do it though.
    Glad to have helped

  • Dropped frames frustration

    Hi:
    I've read hours of posts trying to find something that resembles my problem. Of late, when my G4 is warming up I got 10 dropped frames in a 32 second clip. I notice that the longer I leave the computer on the better it gets. It took 38 minutes of playback for me to get a dropped frame.
    I tried coping the clip to a new sequence and that seemes to work.
    I have also noticed that when I edit a clip and send it to the timeline, it needs to be rendered. The frequency of these coppupt clips seems to me to often.
    I've ascertained that it's not the camera or the Mini DV tape that 's at fault.
    Specs are: G4, 867Mhz., OSX 10.4.6, 2mb. L3 cache, 1.5 G Sdram.
    The external drive is a recent LaCie 250 G @7200 rpm Fire wire 400.
    Are these two problems related? The dropped frame problem was stressing me considerably, and it still needs to be solved. I know that with your help we can do it!
    Thanks,
    Fred

    This sounds like several different problems.
    As far as the "drops frames before warming up" one goes, that suggests two different things to look at. Most hardware components, of course, are digital and have negligible warm-up characteristics. The disk drive itself has some analog functions in the motor and controller which might be a suspect.
    You mention the drive (250gb) but don't say how full it is. It's possible that a nearly full disk is more likely to have files in sub-optimal locations on the physical disk, resulting in playback problems. The only reason this would get better, however, would be if temporary files, renders, etc. got written in a less fragmented way.
    The need to render almost always results from a discrepancy in the way the clip was captured versus the timeline. For example, if you are going back and forth with 24P material or timelines and inadvertently opened a new sequence as 24P but you're working with 29.97, etc.

  • Suddenly: Dropped Frames on Capture

    I've NEVER had a problem with dropped frames. I installed the FCP 5.0.3 upgrade, then had massive problems with dropped frames. In fact, I can't digitize anything: DSR-11, VHS with non-controllable device, nothing. I did the entire troubleshooting routine, then finally trashed my prefs file. Problem solved! I captured everything to my heart's content yesterday. Shut down the G5 last night...turned it back on this morning. Problem is back. Trashed prefs file. Problem won't go away. I can't capture anything.
    In troubleshooting, I tried my G5, my G4 Powerbook...all had the same problem. What gives?

    Hi Jerry
    I have the same issue with FCP 5, (dropped frames on capture.)
    My setup is a brand new G5/Quadcore.
    OS was installed from the factory and updated online to 10.4.3
    FCP 5 Studio, (installed from the Suite disk set) updated online to current updates for the entire suite, Pro Apps updated, etc.
    Memory in G5: 2GB
    Storage: Xserve RAID 3.5TB, with Raid Admin 1.5 and drivers 1.5 on RAID. All fibre channel connections are via an Emulex switch, (12 port.)
    Source Deck: Betacam UVW-1800, connected via component video.
    Capture Device: AJA Io, (original Io) updated to 2.1 drivers.
    I'm still having dropped frame, right from the get go, during capture.
    I also have a G4 with FCP 4.5 HD, (OS X 10.3.9) which I also connect to the Io box, (but not at the same time) which has no issues with dropped frames.
    Do you have any ideas why the G5 drops frames but the G4 doesn't?

  • Manually drop frames for stop-animation look and feel?

    Hi, is there any way to manually drop frames in FCP? I need to make a scene (shot in mini-dv) look and feel like "stop motion animation". I was thinking if I could randomly drop frames and then slightly slow the footage down, it would give me the kind of "jary" effect of stop motion animation. And seing as dropping frames would essentially speed the fotage up, I would slow it down slightly to compensate. But individually dropping frames will take me forever!!! Is there a filter that can do this (FCP5)?
    Thanks,
    Lela

    Here's another option...
    Speed the clip (or sequence nested)up with no frame blending - FCP will drop frames. Experiment as using specific %s will do this for you.
    Then go into Cinema Tools and conform back to 29.97... This will make it look faster -- then slow it down without using frame blending and FCP will just duplicate frames.
    I've done this in Shake at it works great - I'm reaching just a bit that it will also work in FCP the same way.
    Good luck,
    CaptM

  • Is skipping and stuttering the famed Dropped Frames...

    Been pulling hair ever since upping to QT 7.0.3 and FCP 5.0.3. All of a sudden my former 4.5 clips are acting crazy in 5. Even when I just open them in QT the ones captured since updates act crazy. Old clips play fine. Did the 7.0.1 reInstall, dumped QT preferences, but still get stuttering action. JUST curious if this is the famed demonic dropped frame symptom?

    Open the clips in FCP, and play them frame by frame over the skipping parts. Look at the timecode numbers. Do they jump as well? If so...dropped frames.

  • 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.

  • Optimizing work flow in FCP on new iMac? (dropped frames)

    Hello-
    I've recently purchased a new iMac, first in about 6 years. I'm looking for some advice about optimizing my work flow in FCP. I am largely self-taught, using FCP for hobbyist/amateur video.
    Until this new computer, I have been using FCP on other people's Macs (schools, arts institutions, etc), only resorting to my old Powerbook when absolutely necessary. So I have not had to worry about performance issues until now.
    I am shooting on a Kodak Zi8 pocket cam in 1080p HD .MOV files, 1920x1080 H.264, AAC audio.
    In my first attempts at editing the footage, I find that I am getting dropped frames on playback at every edit point - any time I cut between shots, add titles, etc.
    (I also tried editing some much smaller, compressed files (QT 854x480, H.264, AAC audio) in the timeline and had the frame drop problem.)
    Also, when I add titles, they do not preview render - I have to render them completely to be able to playback.
    When I allow FCP to change the sequence settings to match the clip, I get the following:
    1920 x 1080
    Aspect: HDTV 1080i (16:9)
    Pixel Aspect: Square
    Field Dominance: Upper (Odd)
    Editing Timebase: 29.97
    In this instance I am editing footage that is stored on the local HD, but I have also tried editing footage from a USB 2.0 external drive, and got the same dropped frame problem.
    ...its a little frustrating to get these performance issues on this new computer, so I hope that someone here can help me resolve some of my problems. Hopefully this is a work flow issue, but if its a lack of hardware, well, shame on me for not looking into it enough.
    thanks in advance.

    Hi -
    H.264 is a recording and delivery format, but as you have discovered, it is very difficult to edit. Its qualities of recording a high quality image in a small file size, which make it attractive for use in Flash based camcorders, makes it very difficult for FCP to work with. Attempting to work in H.264 makes FCP drop frames, require constant rendering, etc.
    The best solution is to convert your footage to an edit friendly file format, such a ProRes LT or AIC. There will be minimal impact on the quality of the image. This conversion will result in files that are much larger than your original files, but will work easily in FCP.
    You don't say if you have FCS or just FCP, but if you do have FCS then you can use Compressor to do the conversion.
    Hope this helps.

  • FCP UB iMAC Dropping Frames, playing stops!

    It's fine (new here with this program so be easy on me) also a recent swither, after beta testing Vista, I said, that's it. Even though I have thousands invested in software for PC...
    Anyway, FCP 5.1
    If I use the arrow tool, and move across timeline, the part plays fine with effects.
    If I hit space bar I get error, it stops.
    Media on second FW drive.
    Not sure how to turn off/down compression?
    RT set at unlimited, otherwise I wont see the effects.
    What is wrong?
    Thanks!

    Render files are never seen or accessed by the user.
    If you want to convert a bit of media, cut it into
    your timeline, render it, export it using Export QuickTime Movie...
    (keeping it on Current Settings...), import the clip
    you created and use that for your source. No more
    need to render.
    make sense?
    Patrick
    Ok, I tried this, check it out...exported a 3 second clip, imported back in, no problem, played great!
    Added one (as in "1") zoom effect and got a dropped frame rate warning, now, sure, I could turn it off, but surely there must be a way to see this FX in the chain to see how it works or not without an error (2 GB DDR2).
    I noticed you can double click the FX than use the time line to see it, but it's a far cry from realtime speed.
    Surely there is hope for me yet!
    Thanks again

  • Problems with dropped frames in FCP 4.5 Log & Capture

    Thanks for the advice on my previous post regarding sound problems - those are now sorted, but I am having problems with dropped frames in Log and Capture. I am using FCP 4.5 with OS X 10.4.10 on a Powermac G4. CPU 867 mhz dual processor. L2 Cache 256 kb, L3 cache 1 mb. Memory 1g. Bus speed 133hz. I am capturing from a Canon XM1 via Firewire. The scratch disk is a 500gb Seagate FreeAgent USB 2.0, 7200rpm.
    Basically, the video and audio are fine while playing back in Log and Capture and I can control the device, but any attempt to capture, whether Capture Now or Clip result in a very jerky picture and aborts with dropped frames after a few seconds. The sound is ok for the few seconds before it aborts. There do not appear to be any problems with the timecode.
    My capture preset is DV Pal 48hz.
    Any advice or pointers gratefully received.
    Thanks, Ally

    Well quite. I have just tried it in the internal hard drive and it works fine now. I am going to have to capture everything to my small hard drive and move it across to the external. Then, when I have finished I am going to bang my head against the wall and buy an external HDD with Firewire.
    Thanks,
    Ally
