FCPX Stuttering video in viewer problem

OK, first let me say I am using the FCPX Trial version on my 15", 2.53 MBP - 10.6.8. My video is on a Lacie 500GB connected via Firewire 800. I am not sure if the Trial Version is the full blown version, I think it is. There is nothing I cannot do so far on it. But, I am trying to edit footage I imported from my Rebel T3i which is 1080i HD video. I cutting to music and when I play the timeline, the video in the viewer is very choppy. It skips, stutters, eventually catches up and gets choppy again. Everything has been rendered in the bkgd, I have rebooted and started over several times. My exported vid looks great, just playing down in the timeline is very difficult and makes editing to music very hard.
I am wondering if this is an issue with FCPX or do I need to make preference adjustments? Could it just be due to a Trial Version? It seems like the video is too big, could my MBP be too slow?

The reason all thumbnails turned red when you switched to proxy media is simply because you didn't create any proxy media. From your other posts it looks you are using the original media in h264. Although it should work, as Tom said, I expect that either proxy media or optimized media would be much easier on your processor, resulting in smoother playback and overall smoother operation, especially in a machine that is not very fast.
Note that you can (re)create proxy or optimized media not only when you add clips to an event, but also at a later time. Simply select the clips in your Event Browser, control-click and select "Transcode media..." and check the box(es) for proxy and/or optimized media.
Whether FCP X attempts to playback optimized/original or proxy media is set up in the preferences, under "playback".
Since you are experiencing playback difficulties, that is at least worth a try: create proxy media, switch playback to it. If it works better, there you have it. Remember to switch back to original/optimized before final export.

Stuttering video in viewer

Hi everybody,
I bought Final Cut Express HD only last week and I am absolutely thrilled by the immense functionality of this program.
I am facing one particular problem, however: when I am playing a video in the viewer of FCE, it is heavily stuttering, which is very annoying.
I did use the search function of the forum and tried a lot of things to remedy this ugly behavior: I deleted the preferences, I created a new project and re-imported the original DV material, I played around with the playback settings of FCE and reduced the quality settings... nothing worked - the video playback still jumps from one frame to 2 or 3 after the current one, occasionally stopping at all while audio playback continues.
Funnily enough, the playback of the (rendered) timeline in the canvas works fine, including all effects, filters, transitions, etc. Only the playback in the viewer is sluggish.
My hardware should not be the problem: I am on a MacBook Pro 17inch, 2GB of RAM, 120GB 5400RPM hard drive, ATI 256MB VRAM.ä
Is there anything else I can do? Does anyone have the same problem? I am really cluless by now after really having tried a couple of things to resolve the problem...
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
MacBook Pro 17'' Mac OS X (10.4.6) 2GB RAM, 120GB 5400RPM HD, ATI 256MB VRAM

capturing via iMovie as I am and then using in FCE is not perfect
Yes there are limits, but not about data rates, that I know: in both cases the original DV video is recorded into a file, but with different formats.
iMovie records a .dv file containing the original DV stream from the camcorder into a single track including both video and audio; FCE records a .mov file where the video DV stream and the audio are in separate tracks.
The limits are:
- no timecode recording: iMovie does not capture the timecode originally recorded by the camcorder
- audio needs rendering
The advantage is what you already know: easy trashing of unused clips media.

Video -data viewing problem with diadem 10.1 and 10.2, while ok in diadem 10.0

Hi,
When viewing a video in combination with data channels (we have 3 EEG channels, tdm data, that we watch in parallel), diadem crashed rapidly when playing the video and data together in Diadem 10.1 and 10.2. We do not have any problems with Diadem 10.0. so we keep on using the older version to avoid any troubles. This just to notify, since other people may have the same trouble.
Cheers
Else

Hi Else,
We'd really like to reproduce this problem and get to the bottom of what is causing it, so that you could upgrade in the future. Would you be willing to send me a data set consisting of your TDM, TDX, TDV, and video file? You can either post here or send it directly to my email at:
[email protected]
Thanks,

No video in Viewer/Canvas, only audio

I use Final Cut Pro X since Day One and I survived bugs and endless beachballs on my 2011 17' Macbook Pro.
A week ago FCPX stopped playing any video in viewer/canvas while scrubbing. Only audio is audible. Impossible previewing a single clip or playing the timeline. The beachball is immediate and the program hangs and need forced exit. This happens whatever the video source is: only audio plays. Same reinstalling from scratch 10.0.4. Trashing preferences and using quickfix from Digitalrebellion didin't help.
A momentary solution has been creating a new administrator user and working from there, with many limitation and commodities I have "on the other side".
I can't identify anything particular that might have caused this! Quicktime runs fine and so do Final Cut Pro 7, iMovie and all the video compartement.
I searchead the web but nobody seems to have follen in this situation.

Have the same problem. Did you ever find answer?

When this happens I have to click the full screen icon on the bottom right corner of player to view the video, so far this problem is only happening on FB. I would like to know what's causing this problem and how to get it resolved. I've got the current player version and all my Computer Software and Drivers are up to date

Help on stuttering video after FMS call Stream.get('liveBroadcastStream').play('liveFeedFromFMLE', -

Hi,
We recently encountered a very strange issue that we urgently need help:
With FMS 3.5, we created a new live application according to relevant documentations. Within this application (main.asc), on periodically basis (e.g. 45 seconds), we use Stream.get('liveBroadcastStream').play('liveFeedFromFMLE', -1, -1, true) to (potentially) switch between different live feeds published by different FMLE. All work like charm except one annoying/important issue: sometimes (but not always), after a server-side call of Stream.play, we see severe stuttering/choppy video from flash client player.
Any help that will lead to the resolution of the problem will be greatly appreciated!
Some background information:
1. All testing were done within LAN environment with just a few machines which mean loads were very low; so we can rule out bandwidth insufficiency issue. Also CPU usages were low across all computers involved.
2. The stuttering and choppyness occurs with the 'liveBroadcastStream', not with the source stream which is 'liveFeedFromFMLE'. In other words, we used flash player to check out the source stream, and it looked fine.
3. When the video was jerky, the accompanying audio sounded OK.
4. We tried to set the flash client buffer length to be 15 seconds, and it did not help.
5. The stuttering occurs immediately after the Stream.play function call.
6. The described sympton occurs quite often, but not always. We were not able to identify the exact cause. It does not seem to show any easy clue.
7. In the repro case, we called Stream.get('liveBroadcastStream').play('liveFeedFromFMLE', -1, -1, true) every 45 seconds with no parameter changes.
Again, we are urgently waiting for professional help!
Regards.

Thanks for your info. We are desparate for any help that we can get. We will do as you said, but it is a semi-production scenario and we are not allowed to set up debugging scenarios often.
We have spent tremendous amount of time trying to flush out the issue with no luck. What really frustrated us is that our application scenario is really simple, and yet it won't work as expected. We have downgraded to FMS 3.0.1 and it performs a bit better than 3.5. We have issue with 3.0.1 too. The stuttering video is still there, but player recovers eventually. That is the best we can get so far. As we investigate more, we become more convinced that FMS's stability is not up to production quality (sorry).
I simplified our application to the following and it is still problematic (pseudo codes):
Prerequisite: stream 'liveStream1' and 'liveStream2' published from to FMLE
FMS server side codes (pseudo codes):
function onPeriodicalCall ()
        if (application.currentStream == 'liveStream1')
             applicatin.currentStream = 'liveStream2')
        else
          application.currentStream = 'liveStream1'
        Stream.get('liveBroadCast').play(application.currentStream, -1, -1, true);
application.onStart = function () {
     setInterval (120, onPeriodicalCall);
With the above codes, the players shows stuttering video with each .play call. And sometimes, clients even could not play anything. When client can not play anything, we found it correlates to netstream not getting into data start mode (e.g. normally unpublish, stop, publish, start, but sometimes it only gives unpublish stop publish, thus lacking 'start').

Cannot open Videos, PDF-Viewer and Doc.viewer

When It try to open Videos, PDF-Viewer or Doc.viewer it loads the program but never ends. Always there is only the moving waiting symbol but the loading process never ends. Also, I cannot watch Quicktime movies anymore in the Pixi-Browser which worked before, too.
I am not really sure, because I have my Pixi just for some days: I guess it worked before and after the last update to webos 1.4.5 it doesn't work anymore. Can there be a relation to the update?
Has anybody else that problem? Who can help? Thanx for suggestions!!
Post relates to: Pixi Plus p121ueu (02)

Thanks Alan,
for some reasons it works now. I even couldn't install any programs anymore. How it worked again: Before I wanted to restart the phone, I pluged it into my PC (USB-Drive) and backed up my Motion Classic Backups just to make sure I don't lose them. Then, I saw that I had 2 Excel-Sheets and 1 Word-Dokument in the main folder of my pixi. I moved them into a new folder.
After disconnecting the pixi from my PC it restarted itself and for some reason, now, it installed all programs I tried to install before (and didn't worked). Now, it all works. I can start PDF-Viewer, Doc.viewer and Videos and see all documents. Puhh, I am glad.
I don't know, why the malfunction happened. My Pixi crashes from time to time because of my Motion Classic. I am very unhappy about the instability of Classic. But that is maybe how some things changed in webOS.
Anyway, thank you for the webOs Doctor-Link!

Remote Control and Remote View Problem

Hi,
I work at a High School running Netware 6.0 SP5 and Zen works 4.01 ir7.
Remote Control and Remote View works great but I noticed one problem.
We have a logo of the school that is forced down on to the desktop when a
user logs in through group policies. This logo works perfect for the
desktop wall paper and loads every time a user logs in.
When I Remote Control or Remote View a computer the users desktop wall
paper turns from the logo being forced down through group policies to the
desktop to a blue desktop wall paper.
I would prefer the desktop wall paper staying the schools logo when I
Remote Control or Remote View because if the desktop wall paper changes to
the blue color I mentioned above when I Remote Control or Remote View the
users computer, they will know that someone is taking over their computer
which sometimes we dont want them knowing.
We have Windows 98SE computer running Novell Client 3.4 and we have some
computers running Windows XP Professional SP1 and Windows XP Professional
SP2 both running Novell Client 4.91 SP2.
The Remote Control and Remote View problem of the desktop wall paper
changing on the users computer occurs on all operating systems mentioned
above.
Is there a solution to my above problem? When Remote Controlling and
Remote Viewing someone's computer I don't want the desktop wall paper to
change.
Thanks!

Horrible video skip / lag problem - once per second in all apps!

I built a new system last month (my first AMD) and I am having a really aggravating problem. In all games and all video playback I get an annoying skip once per second, every second. It affects sound during gameplay but not during movie or mp3 playback. It even happens with the visualization mode in Windows Media Player.
My system is as follows: MSI K8N Neo4-F, A64 3200+ venice core, MSI 6800GT 256MB PCI-E, two sticks of Corsair valueselect DDR400 512MB each, 500 watt PS, 160GB 7200 SATA HDD. Most recent NVIDIA drivers for everything. WinXP Pro with SP2 and all updates, DX9C. Nothing overclocked, all settings standard.
I have tried the following solutions:
1) BIOS upgrades, started with 1.4, installed 1.5, MSI tech support gave me 1.6b2 and I installed that. No luck with any of them.
2) Memory, installed per MSI directions, but I've tried all legal combinations, including one stick at a time. No change.
3) full format and reinstall of WinXP. No luck.
4) Switching between WinXP IDE drivers and NVidia drivers, with and without RAID drivers, No luck.
5) Removal of 6800GT PCI-E card and replacing with Ancient 8MB PCI Permedia2 video card. Problem still persists.
6) Disable onboard sound and LAN. No luck.
7) Running Fedora core 4 on second partition. Installed Nvidia video drivers, tried some games. THIS WORKS! No hitch, no skip, no nothing. Framerates are noticably slower but very stable. In WinXP I saw framerates bounce all over the place, from 230 FPS down to about 70 with one game. That same game on Linux ran smoothly at about 166 FPS with only occasional slight drops. The big FPS drops in Windows usually came right after one of the skips but didn't occure after every skip.
Right now I'm stumped. Linux uses totally different drivers for sound, LAN and SATA support. Some of those drivers don't fully use the Nforce4 chipset's features, maybe that's part of the difference.

Thanks TireSmoke:
I had found that sticky, but I took your advice and went thorugh it in detail last night. Lots of great info, fixes tweaks and tools, sadly none of them fixed my problem. The lag problem most people are reporting is not really like the wierd problem I am having. I have tried the recoommended fixes with ablsolutely no change in my system's behavior.
I am beginning to suspect a faulty motherboard component.
Russ_XP:
I think you are correct about fast writes. I googled the heck out of that last night and couldn't find any reference to enabling or disabling fast writes on PCI-E.
The drive is SATA-1. The Neo4-F is not SATA-2 enabled (there is a hack for it though). From memory I think it's a Western Digital WD1600-something, 7200 RPM dirve. I've tried it on both SATA buses and tried disabling the unused bus in BIOS.
I'm pretty sure I can dig up an old PATA drive somewhere and give that a try.
Gpalmer:
True enough, and I don't have these problems under Fedora. Sadly this is a cross-platform game development box, I need both XP and Fedora working.
Black_God:
Nope, this is a clean install. Although I wonder, could any of the built in XP update and security tools be causing this? I have disabled Windows firewall and virus protection monitoring.

Maintenance view problem "No data maintenance Authorization; Display only"

Maintenance view problem
Question 1>>>>
> I have created a table with Display/maintenance allowed and technical setting Data class - APPL0 (master data, transparent tables).
>> Then I have created a maintenance view thought utilities->table maintenance generator where i have specified the Authorization group as &NC& (w/o auth. group)
->and also created a function group and specified in the maintenance screen-> I have selected maintenance type as one step-> i have given the overview screen number->and in Recording routine i have selected - no, or user ,recording routine.
>>> Now when i go to transaction SM30 and put the table name and press on maintain button I get a information box saying "No data maintenance Authorization; Display only".... and it only displays the data.
my problem is I want to enter data through maintenance view (SM30).
2nd Question >>>> once i create a function group for maintenance view how can i assign a transaction for this. (as if i do it as we do for a module pool program it gives me error)Thank you.
kailash

SE93. Enter a transaction name. Create. In the pop up enter a title and select 'Transaction with parameters'.
Next screen fill the following;
Transaction 'SM30'
Check 'Skip first screen'
In the table control at the bottom of the screen
Name of screen field 'VIEWNAME'
Value <your table name>
Name of screen field 'SHOW'
Value 'X'
Save.
Job done.

Nokia 808 Video mode - Jerking problem

The Jerking only happen when video mode happen on all setting 1080p,720p,360p. So I guess someone really happen in the hardware itself. Yes I tried touch screen zoom in this video and also volume button in the middle of the video. Both having the jerking 2 to 3 times starting from 1/3 of the zooming.
Zoom function is work perfectly find on photo taking mode tested on 8mp 5mp 2mp.
I have taken a sample here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=kYsYaQRkrYw
I don't think its normal to have the jerk. Is my set having problem?

ok guys. I had sent my set to Nokia service centre for repaired. It factory reset everything and upgrade to FP2. Now the camera looks smoother I notice video stablisations 'on' will cause the shaking of video zoom.
On video mode ,the jerking problem is back.
To fix the problem I try to go to picture mode and off the stablisation and test swype the zoom afew times and back to video mode the problem is gone.
So the problem is:
It will jerk everytime I try to zoom in video mode. Picture mode not so obvious since it zoom very fast and don't takes video. Only video mode will be affected.
temporary solution found
go to picture mode and off the stablisation and test swype the zoom afew times and back to video mode the problem is gone for a while.
If i try to use the zoom often like 30times or more, somehow it triggle it to cause the jerking and have to disable stablisation and go picture mode and swype zooming afew times which somehow will recover from the unstable zooming. back to video mode and test it should be ok now.
Is anyone out there having the same issue too?
