Frame-Dropping Issue.

Hello, this is my first post, and I have a Frame-Dropping issue.
I am making a video on FCP and during playback, when I reach the end of the video (there is still audio in the background), it says there are some dropped frames. I tried switching from Safe RT to Unlimited RT and back again... many times. But when I start the playback from a second or two from the end of the video, it works fine. Can someone help me?
Many thanks in advance.

#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.

  • Final Cut Pro dropped frame rate issue

    Hi there, i currently shot a short film on the canon 5d mark II 30fps and i am trying to edit it in final cut studio 2. I have recently bought the new macbook pro 15inch 2gb module.
    Now the canon footage is h.264 but when importing the clips into final cut pro 6 there is a lot of dropped frame rate issues but I thought this machine could handle HD footage?
    Can someone more advanced than myself recommend what i am doing wrong or a work flow that i can work with to stop dropped frame rates and render times.
    Last piece of information, the project will be entered in film festivals in the spring its only a 3 minute short and i have 5 folders of footage under 4gb each which was taken from the camera
    Thanks for your help.
    Michael

    You are missing a huge conceptual point. If the file can not spool off of the hard drive fast enough, you get dropped frames. It isn't a processor or ram issue right now, it is a hard drive speed issue. Your system drive is overtaxed trying to run OSX, applications AND spool video. It just can't keep up. Changing the graphic card isn't going to help (and how do you change the card in a laptop?)
    Get an external esata drive - with the new MacBookPro you'll need an esata Expresscard34 adapter for the computer to connect the drive. Firewire is not an option with that machine and USB2 will not cut it with high data rate formats like ProRes.
    When you drop in the ProRes clip to the timeline and it tells you there is a mismatch, this means your preset for the timeline is something other than your clip. You WANT ProRes and you need the sequence to match your clip - tell the program to CHANGE the sequence to match the clip.
    Video is not easy and it isn't inexpensive. Time to open up those manuals and your wallet!
    Good luck,

  • Frame dropping when Chinese Pinyin-10 key Keyboard pops up

    Almost all the Apps are effected by this issue in iOS 8.1, even you creating a new message can cause this noticable frame drop when Chinese Pinyin-10 key keyboard pops up.
    Note that:
    (1) This issue never occurs in iOS 7.1.X, 8.0 and 8.02, and full QWERTY keyboard is fine.
    (2) If turn on Settings->Accessibility->Increase Contrast->Reduce Transparency,  Chinese Pinyin-10 key Keyboard also works fine.
    I have to use full keyboard instead now. Please fix this.

    Thanks, I was curious because I think only devices bought in china have the Chinese Pinyin 10 keyboard, it is missing for everyone else.

  • 4209 Frames Dropped - 2 minutes of preview

    I'm pretty sure I didn't used to have this problem, just playing back video in the program window, but now suddenly, it seems PP6 can't playback HD video in the program window / preview.  Don't even bother trying to scrub through the video, that's a disaster.
    So, to comply with the guidelines, here is everything I know about the situation.  I'm even happy to post the raw footage if you think it would help.
    What version of Premiere Pro? 6.02
    Have you installed the recent updates? Yes, the updater indicates no updates available
    What operating system? Mac OSX v10.8.3
    What type of computer? Macbook Pro Retina, 2.6GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB 1600MHz DDR3 Ram
    What type of video card? NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
    Hard drive? Solid State Drive
    What kind(s) of source footage?
    File Path: <SNIP>/AVCHD/BDMV/STREAM/00043.MTS
    Type: MPEG Movie
    File Size: 1.3 GB
    Image Size: 1920 x 1080
    Frame Rate: 29.97
    Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
    Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
    Total Duration: 00:08:03:00
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0
    Project / Sequence type: I made the sequence by taking the footage and dragging it to new sequence, so the sequence would be the exact type of the source footage.  The footage is of panning horizontally of a lake with mountains in the background.  It has audio, but I don't play it back.
    If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)? Of the 8 minutes of source video, I took a 2 minute 20 second cut.  Put it into the sequence by itself, no effects, no zooming, NO alterations of any kind.  Put the marker at the beginning and let it play in the program window at full resolution.  I got 4209 frames dropped in those 2.5 minutes
    What were you doing when the problem occurred? Nothing else was running, it was after a fresh reboot, only started PP6.  Just playing back the video at regular speed with no alterations.
    Has this ever worked before? I've edited HD video before, about 3 months ago, I didn't seem to recall this issue.
    What other software are you running?  Little snitch network monitor, and a CPU monitor
    Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed? No
    Tell us about your computer hardware. Be especially certain to tell us about third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU). See above, it's a MacBook Pro, so I can't really add anything to it.
    Are you using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration?  Yes.  I have turned off the "enable graphics switching" in the power section.  I have tried all 3, software, CUDA and OpenCL, usually leaving it on CUDA.
    CUDA Drivers? CUDA Driver Version: 5.0.59, no newer update is available
    GPU Driver Version? 8.10.44  304.10.65f03
    Does the problem only happen with your final output, with previews, or both? Previews, I haven't bothered to try to render it out.  I'm still trying to edit the project together.
    What else?
    Sometimes I get an all RED screen in place of the footage in the program view
    I notice that one core is indicated to go FULL red / usage just before and during frame drops, the other 7 cores are green / unused
    This happens the most with resolution set to FULL, but also occurs in 1/2 and 1/4 resolution.
    Scrubbing through the video is useless
    The audio (when I do have it enabled) never drops

    Warning:
    To those of you who have been struggling with the AVHCD bug and waiting for months to a year to use Adobe Premiere to its full potential...   If you don't already know...
    Adobe CC introduced another major bug! 
    I have been following threads about the AVHCD bug for months so I felt an obligation to inform the community members I have suffered alongside.
    I am also trying to inform you because Adobe won't.  Yet again, they are disastrously failing to inform customers of avoidable problems. 
    If you upgraded to Premiere CC to fix the AVHCD problem, you could be out of the frying pan and into the fire like I was. 
    The new bug is described in this thread.  http://forums.adobe.com/message/5490602#5490602
    Bug Overview:
    After saving multicam edits, and reopening a project, multicam edits may loose their link to the location in a clip.  The result is that every angle switch restarts at the beginning of a clip.  Many of us have lost hours of work like this.  The problem may ocurr at any point and ruin work performed prior upon saving and re-opening. 
    There is a work around described on the thread above to prevent the problem from occurring, but once it does, a project is lost and can only revert to a backup.
    I hope this spares some of you the trouble and loss of being struck by the second bug in a row like I was. 
    I also hope to enlist the help of some of you who would like to join me in demanding that Adobe communicate more openly with their customers. 
    Again, many people have also been hurt by Adobe's failure to inform customers of a huge problem that they knew about prior to the release of Premiere CC. 
    Like the AVHCD bug, so many of us could have been spared weeks to months of lost wages and clients if Adobe simply informed Premiere users that there were some issues with the update.  As people could have stayed with CS5 for a while to avoid the AVHCD bug, users on this thread could have stayed with CS6 for a while until the Multicam bug was fixed, if they needed that feature. 
    On that thread, I posted the request I quoted below.  Please join us in demanding greater responsibility for communication from Adobe.
    please join me in making a feature request:
    That Adobe add notifications about important software issues, updates and work-arounds...
    to the start pages of applications
    and to the Application manager (so that users may make informed decisions about weather or not an update may introduce issues into their workflows prior to installing.)
    If they can use those platforms to provide tips and adds, they should also be effective for informing their customers.
    Feature requests can be entered at the link below and are prioritized by the number of requests for a certain feature.

  • Frame rate issues when displaying video on 50" Plasma

    I've been using  my Mac Mini (Late 2009) as a media centre since I bought it in Dec 2009. Until recently it's been great working with everything I throw at it.
    Over the last two weeks though I've noticed issues with lower frame rates and jerky video performance. When I try to watch a film full-screen on my 50" tv I get a much reduced frame rate to the point that I'm using it less and less as a media centre. When I run them windowed the frame rate issue is still present but less apparent than when I run it full screen.
    During full-screen playback my processors are at 85%-90% capacity.
    System:
    Mac Mini 2009
    2.53 Mhz
    4gb Ram
    Nvidia 3400`
    Mac OSX 10.6.7
    TV
    Connected to Panasonic 50" plasma via HDMI (Mini-display port to HDMI)
    Screen resolution 1600 x 900.
    I've been trying it with the digital version of Tron Legacy (m4v format, 1.84GB, 854 x 480) and more simple .avi files ripped from my dvd collection and get the same result.
    Action Taken
    I've reinstalled the 10.6.7 combo
    Run ONYX to update to preferences etc
    Ran TechTools to check any memory issues
    Looking for any tips as this is really confusing me. My next step is to wipe the entire system and start again but I only did this a couple of months ago so I'm not keen to try again.

    yeah I'm kinda limited, working with video for the web and I'm making revisions as to what has been already posted. The H264s are the originals per say as we are using a screen capturing program to obtain the video, I could re export the originals at a truer format, but with the resources I'm given, its not truly the option I can afford to take. I've found a workaround through using imovie of all things, but I rather be in FCP. I've done some editing with h264s before and this is the first time I've seen this happen, it kind of reminds me of when I had an editor a few years back digitize video that was drop frame as non-drop.

  • Frame dropped under OS 10.4 but was working great under 10.3.7 ???

    I've just upgraded my system to 10.4 and all bad things suddently happened...
    Frame dropped under OS 10.4 but was working great under 10.3.7 ???
    any specific issue addressed by updating OS would lead to frame drop?

    Have you downloaded and installed:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/proapplicationsupport30macosx104.html
    And then trashed your FCP preferences files, and repaired permissions.
    Let us know if this solves the problem,
    In addition, you aren't using firewire drives as media drives, are you?

  • Newbie has constant frame drops slowing capturing

    I don't even know IMovieHD, so don't ask me why I bought FCEHD 3.5
    Having said that dislaimer, I finally figured out how to capture footage from the HD tape off my FX1 HD videocam. However after starting up and using the capture window, it only records 2-5 seconds, then stops, says a frame dropped, then I have to press capture all over again....and basically I would die of natural causes before it ever captured the four 60 minute tapes I need to import into a new prject.
    I had no problems capturing all the footage in iMovieHD without stopping for anything other than changing tapes in the camera.
    There's gotta be some user group in Los Angeles area where newbies mingle with others so I could ask bonehead question withotu the entire planet knowing I'm a FCE moron.
    But any ideas on resolving this dropped frame thing that is making capturing footage of decent length more or less impossible?

    The settings are the defualt setting on FCE 3.5 with the exception that stop upon frame drop is now deselted, and the camera is just hooked up via the firewire to the back of the CPU...there aren't any settings on the videocam related to transferring the tape as far as I know....
    I am going to get a 300 Gig Seagate Barracuda internal SATA drive that has a 16mb cache. Hopefully there aren't issues installing it internally on my Mac. They look like they are about $160 including the connector. I will use that as my scratch drive then and see if the frame drop stops. Funny how that doesn't happen in iMovieHd though...
    At least now thanks to you guys the videocapture progress doesn't stop upon frame drop due to deselecting stop upon drop.

  • Macbook to TV - Frame dropping

    I have recently purchased a new Sony 32" LCD TV that only has supports a frame rate of 50Hz. However, this means that when I attach my macbook via a VGA cable to the TV to playback things on my Mac every few minutes the frame drops off for a few seconds and the screen goes blank saying there is no signal and then the picture reappears (the sound is not effected).
    However when I then try set up the display size etc you are not give the option of a 50Hz frame rate with any screen size, the smallest it goes to is 60Hz. Is there anyway to get around this problem to stop the frame dropping off every few minutes?

    rlps20, what you describe is not frame dropping. Frame dropping would not cause the screen to go blank. At worst frame dropping would look like a discontinuity in action. What you are dealing with is something else.
    Do you have the newer MB with DisplayPort on it? If so, check and make sure your Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter has the latest firmware. Yes, the adapter has firmware in it. Strange but true.

  • My Internet Connection Dropping Issues...

    I too am having the occasional Internet connection dropping issues.  Phone and TV continue to work.
    Since I had Fios installed last November I am on my third ONT and 2nd router.  When I called in my latest drop yesterday the call center person told me I had a hardware issue because my computer had a valid IP address assigned.  I tried to teach her something about DHCP but she would not listen to me.  I asked her to please reboot the ONT and she refused because "nothing was indicating a problem with it".  Whatever...
    Each time the Internet goes out the router acts fat and happy.  I have full green on WAN Coax, and strangely enough, a flashing green Internet activity indicator.  Logging into the router shows that I am MOCA connected and assigned a WAN IP address.  But I can't get out past the router at all.  On the event that led to me getting a replacement router the lady said she could talk to the ONT just fine, but not the router.  We reset the router and ONT port numerous times and the connection finally came back up.
    I am not sure of the protocol between the ONT and router, but I think the ONT is keeping enough signal going to make the router "think" its happy, but then the ONT is not passing packets at some point.  After yesterdays call and the refusal to reset the ONT I just hung up on her and reset it myself.  Of course everything started working just fine...like I thought it would.
    So what is the issue here?  Is MOCA a mess?  Is an Ethernet connection to the ONT better?  I am utterly disgusted with this miserable system and can't afford to continue having these outages.
    I should also add the other wonderful features I have seen.  When I tried to powercycle the *new* router yesterday it decided to dump its entire config including my port forwarding.  Nice...  And I have given up using wireless because if I set the router for WPA it locks up so hard that it takes a master reset to get going again.
    Anyone have some advice on getting this system stable?

    I would try using a non-verizon router.  I used the Netgear router and it fixed my problem.  The Verizon router seem to be pieces of garbage and they over-hear.

  • Transitions double 1st frame/drop last frame: a solution

    I have found that Transitions in iMovie 5 are problematic. The first frame in a Transition doubles and the last frame drops out. This is not noticeable in a slideshow but can be very noticeable in an exported video.
    Transitions cannot be edited frame by frame unless one exports video out to a camera and then imports it back into iMovie. The original clips and transitions are now seamless clips. One can delete extra frames and then find and import the missing frames from original sources. HOWEVER, this process is incredibly frustrating and time consuming.
    THIS IS WHERE THINGS GET INTERESTING.
    To avoid the above, I thought I would add textless Titles over a few key clips and transitions where the glitching is most obvious. I had noticed that Titles longer than the clip they were inserted into, merge together the clip with its transition and following clip.
    i.e.,
    1. DEselect 'Over black' in the titles window.
    2. Select a title format and then a length longer than the 'glitched' transition.
    3. Split the clip so that the Title can be inserted.
    4. Insert a TEXTLESS Title that spands the clip, transition and into the next clip.
    5. Then edit out duplicate frames and insert missing frames from the the now 'single' clip.
    STILL just a piecemeal. STILL labour intensive.
    THIS IS WHERE IT GETS MORE INTERESTING.
    I tested this on a couple of clips and, LO AND BEHOLD, 'Title-merging' a clip with its transition and following clip results in the duplicated first frame of the transition DISAPPEARING and the previously dropped frame of the transition, REAPPEARING. A fix.
    One could blanket a video with long textless Titles (i.e., 45 seconds at a time with Rolling Credits) to fix the transition glitches.
    I know that this is not a great solution, but it does allow me to export video with the quality I need.
    Is there a better solution? (I find it ironic that years later, iMovie 2.1.2 is still, for me, the most successful of all the iMovie applications.)

    the duplicated and dropped frames move to the beginning and end of the added short (4 seconds, for example) texless title. Using a longer title (10 seconds, for example) fixed also this.
    if I understand your original reply correctly, it is important that the blanket transition ends in the middle of a clip and not a transition.
    In my tests I used a blanket title (did you invent this descriptive word?!) that spans some of the previous clip (I split it 1-2 seconds before the transition so I could add the blanket title), the transition and some (1-2 seconds) of the next clip.
    If it ends in a transition, the transition plays and then the ORIGINAL clip plays, duplicating the first part of the clip.
    I didn't quite follow. I just tried this with a 30 frame transition. Then I added a 1:15 blanket title 1:00 before the transition (so the blanket title ended in the middle of the transition). Result: The first frame of the blanket titles was duplicated and the last frame of the blanket title was dropped. Otherwise it played as expected.
    shift select the clips to establish a total length of the video clips and them add a title that ends just inside the last clip.
    Yes, I did just that to measure how long a title was needed. In my tests it seemed that it was important that the blanket title wasn't very short (<4 seconds) because then the problem frames were just moved to affect the title. Using a longer blanket title (10 seconds) seemed to fix the problem for both the transition AND the blanket title.
    <div class="jive-quote">With a textless title blanketing an entire video, my COMPRESSION TIME to Quicktime is incredibly shortened (1/3 to 1/2 the time).
    That's interesting. I've noticed that simple projects (i.e. not much cuts) export faster than real time to Full Quality .dv. But complex projects take MUCH longer to export as .dv. AFAIR this didn't matter in iMovie 1-4. Maybe the blanket title simplifies the relevant parts of the project?
    [sigh] I wish we didn't need to be aware of the plethora of obscure gotchas and workarounds like this. I don't expect there to be an iMovie HD 5 update anymore. I guess some bugs will be fixed and some brand new bugs will be introduced in v6.
    The same thing happened with iMovie 4 bugs. ...So this time I thought to quickly gather AND report all iMovie 5 bugs to Apple so they could quickly fix them during the first months. ...but it seems that the iLife team just isn't granted enough resources to fix them. Many known old bugs are again just described in the knowledgebase articles.

  • Is there a fix for the MBP wireless dropping issue?

    I began to experience the Macbook Pro dropping wireless connectivity on my very 1st Apple in 2008.  At the end of the day my machine was replaced with a new Macbook Pro mid 2010.  It appeared to be working just fine until about 2-3 months ago when I started dropping my wireless printer connection.  I searched the internet hoping for a driver update from HP or something from Apple and each time I found something, the problem still existed.  I even thought that by upgrading to Lion would resolve any issues that I have with my MBP wireless connectivity issue.  After upgrading to buying a new router, new printer and upgrading to Lion; the wireless dropping issue still remains unresolved!  I know there are several hundred in not thousands of people who are having the same problem so what are we supposed to do?
    When my 1st MBP was replaced in 2010 I had to stop working because I was diagnosed with "Failed Back Surgical Syndrome" and was in the process of applying for disability.  Something in the back of my mind said that I needed to purchase Apple Care for this new replacement however I had used all of my savings & retirement to sustain life for me and my family that there was nothing for Apple Care.  If it weren't for my church and family I am not sure what I would do during the 18 months of no income while waiting for a decision only to receive an appeal until I findly stood in front of an Administrative Law Judge who heard my case and granted me disability.  Besides there was no way I could ask anyone for money to purchase a warranty for a top of the line laptop while the country was falling off an economical cliff.
    I broke down and called Apple Support and was told that I qualified for technical assistance regarding the upgrade to Lion a few weeks ago.  The tech on the phone had me run some disk utility tests and had me repair permissions which she said could be the cause of the problem.  I willingly went along with her in hopes that this was indeed the fix.  However, within 10 minutes of hanging up the phone my MBP began to drop it's wireless connection to my new HP printer and also the Internet.  Hence my question above is what I am really looking to have answered!  What is the fix to this problem that so many people are having issues with?  I couldn't afford to purchase Apple Care back in 2010 and I can't afford to purchase a new 2011 machine today if that truly is the fix!
    I will be disabled for the remainder of my life and I have grown dependent upon my computer to stay in touch with friends and colleges from work.  I worked for the IT Group at Wynn Resorts and I can say that the type of service Appple is providing it's customers is not what I learned over the past 25 years with Mr. Wynn.  Why can't Apple get the simple concept that it's customers are it's life line and keeps them in business.  I need help and I don't know what to do nor where to turn.  It would be different if Apple acknowledged the issue and said they were working on it however they aren't.  I plead to Apple to help me fix my notebook so I can stay connected to the outside world vs. couped up inside my home.
    Best Regards,
    Scott Leavitt

    I am simply lookig for some help not an argument.  I am not an RF specialist however have setup a few wireless networks in my tenure at Wynn Resorts.  I fully agree that wireless networking is an art and a science however the powers that be in Network Land have toughted wireless networking is the easiest and quickest way to get two computers to talk with one another.  As I previously said I have already turned one (1) MBP in for this problem and Apple decided to replace it because they could not fix the problem with my particular MBP.  This MBP was running Leopard when the problems started
    I am having a hard time believeing that there are several other devicces in my home that depend on a wireless network to operate and my MBP is the only one having an issue.  I took this a step further and decided to see what would happen if I tried to connect wirelessly via Fusion.  In Windows 7 I am able to print and scan to my hearts content without any issues.  I am able to browse the internet as much as I want.  I close Fusion and try to connect to my printer via wireless and nothing.
    In order to get Apple to help do I need to get a Network Analyzer and capture packets when I have these problems?  Out of the 1000 + posts is there a consolidation of which answer is the best?  BTW I am accessing the internet via a wireless connection using Fusion and Windows 7.
    In response to Linc's comments, I will look at the router specifications however I did not qualify that these devices are not using the wireless connection at the same time.  Right now I would guess there are maybe two (2) or three (3) at the most that are actively transmitting / receiving information. --  Thanks

  • Mail attachment drag and drop issue

    Been facing serious mail attachment drag-and-drop issue since 10.8 (if not from 10.7) and was disappointed to find the same behaviour still in 10.9.
    When I drag and drop a picture file (from Finder for example) into a message window or onto the Mail.app Dock icon, the system's window management somehow gets confused: my next step is to click on the message window in order to start typing. However, the mouse click causes that very window to escape under all other open applications / windows. Further on, I dig under to find the escapee and click again: once more it escapes. This can go on for a few annoying rounds until gets solved in an unexplainable way. This behaviour in not consistent, but has happens in about 8 cases out of 10.
    Apart from Mail.app I do not experience drag and drop issues of any kind.
    Anyone else suffering from this?

    I'd be interested in the answer to this too.
    It only just started happening to me a day or so ago, about the time that I think I did an OS upgrade.
    I'm on OSX 10.8.2.
    Its annoying.
    I can drop and drag in Finder but it just affects email.

  • Drag and Drop issue from Explorer folder to Music Library

    Hello
    I just updated my iTunes to 8.0.0.20 but something unexpected happened. I can’t drag and drop anymore songs from an explorer folder into my music library when my view mode is set to Grid (Album, Artist, Genre or Composer).
    When I try I have a kind of interdiction circle under my pointer.
    I can only perform this operation in list mode view. Few hours ago it was still possible to perform it but not after I updated. I reinstalled my iTunes but the problem persists.
    I have read the forums I know I can add to my playlist as usual by using the menu. But is it possible to get drag and drop operation when I drags song directly from a folder on my explorer window?
    It would be very appreciated if someone has an answer. I really messed up my library trying to fix this

    I fixed the drag and drop issues I had! Turns out they were caused by the permission problems of Vista. To fix it I just made sure all the files in the iTunes folder and sub folders were full control by my account.
    Make sure you check the properties of the iTunes database specifically because before, the iTunes folder had the correct permissions but they hadn't actually been inherited correctly by the iTunes DB files. Hope this helps anyone else.

  • Drag and drop issue alternatives

    Hello
    i'm having the same drag and drop issue as the other guys here. basically cant drag and drop to the desktop. Im looking for a workaround that doesnt involve making temporary backups or repairing iphoto libraries. My library is 260gb and even though it is being backed up i dont have a spare 260gb.

    That does not exist - the workaround (maybe permanent solution - who knows) is
    File menu ==> export
    And BTW if you are not backingup all the time you are 100% guarenteed to lose all of your files and photos sooner or later

  • Frames Dropping when Editing back to tape

    I just updated my Final Cut Studio to 5.1.4. I am running this program on 2.0 GHz G5 Power Mac. I have fibre from the G5 to the server. I am trying to Edit to tape and this edit stop because it had dropped one or more frames. I am at OS 10.4.9
    The error message:
    Aborted ETT/PTV – Dropped Frames
    Because one or more frames dropped during Edit To Tape or Print To Video, this operation was aborted.
    If this occurs frequently, try
    - Turning off Unlimited RT
    - Lowering your compression data rate.
    - Closing open sequences.
    - Lowering the preferences for real-time audio tracks.
    - Increasing the speed of your system and/or disk drives and/or network connection.
    RT Extreme has determined these dropped frames were caused by slow disk. Please try:
    - Increasing to speed of your disks
    - Decreasing the number of RT lies.
    - Limiting your RT bandwidth in User Preferences.
    I tried all the fixes stated above and the problem is not fixed.
    Please Help
    Thanks

    Check the settings playback settings in the Timeline window to make sure they are all set to be high quality... sounds like the playback/render quality doesn't match the recording quality so when you ask to edit to tape, it is attempting a total re render.
