Jerky video with FCP5 on Quad

I'm disapointed with the viewer and canvas performance on with FCP5 on the quad: Mu DV footage is very jerky with displayed in the viewer or canvas on the Quad. Does anyone have the same experience? Could it be, that FCP5 is upgrade tyet to perform on trhe Qaud?

All's well with FCP 5.0.3 on my brand new Quad,
running under v10.4.2 with a Seagate 400GB SATA
(150MB/sec type SATA) for the media volume.
How much RAM do you have in the Quad?
Do you have an external NTSC/PAL monitor connected to
the output of your camcorder or VCR? How do things
look there?
Hi Brian,
Good to hear that's all is well. That means it is'nt an inherent Quad/FCP problem. I have 2.5 gigs of RAM. I have a PAL monitor connected, that shows the same jerkiness. See also my reply to David.

  • Jerky video with N70

    Hi,
    Just wanted to ask if I'm the only person that is encountering this problem.
    Whenever I try capturing a video... The video is jerky but after saving it... It plays fine when I view it.
    My friend has the same unit as well as the firmware 5.0616.2.0.3
    24-04-06
    RM-84
    yet when I tried to use his phone it captured fine unlike mine.
    "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity"
    Previous phones:5110,3210,6210,5210,7650,6600,3660,7610
    Current phones: N70 5.616.2.0.3, Motorola SLVR L7, Motorola V3Maxx

    Hello,
    I too have this problem with jerky video but mine seems much worse. I tried to switch to the phone memory instead of the card but that just makes things much worse! I have transfered my videos to a computer and it is not just playback on the phone that's jerky so it must be during recording that there's a serious bugg.
    I contacted Nokia support about this and asked is there was a update coming but they just replied that I should hand it in to a service place, so I did. After two weeks without my (only) phone, I got it back and all they had done was format and reinstall the same software version. Hurray for Nokia! I remember the tv-ads they ran, depicting the N70 as a kickass video recording phone. Ok ok that's enought complaining... Does anyone have any suggestions? Nokia sure doesn't have a clue.

  • Slow/Jerky Video with kt6v\sempron 2400\geforce mx400

    Hello!
    I'm hoping someone out there has seen this problem before and can point me in the right direction for how to solve it.  I am putting this system together for my sister.  Here are the system's credentials:
    msi kt6v mainboard
    amd sempron 2400 processor
    256 meg ddr ram, 400mhz
    nvidia gforce mx400 agp display adaptor  64meg
    western digital caviar 20 gig hard drive
    generic (comp usa) 52x ide cdrom drive
    lucent pci lt win modem
    windows xp pro  with service pack 2
    Mainboard bios has recently been upgraded to  recognize the sempron cpu.
    Cpu freqency in cmos is set to 166mhz.  (is this the correct setting?)
    The problem:
    When playing various video games, such as Carnival Cruise Lines Tycoon, Trailer Park Tycoon, or The Sims (all of which are great games, btw), the video is extremely choppy/jerky.  It doesn't play smoothly at all.  But it SHOULD!   As a test, if I replace that video card with an  FX5200 personal cinema, it works great!  (but there's no way I'm going to give my sister that fx5200 card!  I need the mx400 to work in this machine.)   I can put that gforce mx400 in another machine (kt4v with amd 2200xp) and it works great.  So this tells me the problem should not be with the display adaptor nor the kt6v mainboard.  But is there a compatability problem between the two?  Is there a setting I've overlooked?  I'm thinking this is probably an issue with the display drivers or the mainboard drivers, I just don't know.  I've spent the last 3 nights trying to figure this one out.  This has me stumped.  
    Anyone else seen this same problem and know the fix?  Also, anybody know what the recommended cmos settings are on the kt6v  when using the mx 400 display adaptor and the sempron 2400 cpu?  What are the recommended drivers/versions for this mainboard and display adaptor?
    Thanks!!!!!

  • Jerky videos with 30 fps not ideal for Europe with 25 fps?

    When I edit a video (720p 30fps) from my compact camera, Sony WX1, on the iMovie, the rendered video seems to be jerky. (especially if I follow a subject with the camera)
    When I edit a video (1080i 50fps) from my Sony Video camera, the edited video looks fine.
    Is this effect due to the fact that my video is rendered with 25 fps for European TV.
    Does anybody have a solution to my problem?
    Should I rather buy a compact camera that records with 25 or 50 fps instead of 30 fps?
    Any support is appreciated.

    I'm seeing similar problems as you when using my wife's digital stills camera (Canon IXUS 80IS). This records AVI video (640 x 480) at 30 fps. As I'm also in PAL country, I normally use the PAL 25fps setting for my iMovie '11 projects, which are mostly imported from my Sony HDR-SR7 AVCHD camcorder (PAL).
    However, to avoid the jerkiness when creating projects from the Canon footage, I now use the NTSC 30fps setting for clips from that camera. The exported project plays flawlessly on my MacBook Pro and also through my Western Digital TV Live HD Media Player connected to an LCD HD TV. When burning a DVD in iDVD you can choose to encode as PAL 25fps or NTSC 30fps. However I've found that the NTSC version doesn't always work with some DVD player/TV connections. So you will still see jerkiness if burning PAL versions, but these DVDs will at least work with all PAL equipment.
    If you don't intend burning DVDs but simply wish to view by other means (for example, computer, media player or web) it's quite OK to use the NTSC 30fps setting for your projects. These will play fine on sites such as YouTube, Facebook, MobileMe Gallery and similar places.

  • Jerky video with Firewire from DV camcorder

    Help please. I have a 1.25 GHz G4 iMac running 10.3.9 and iChat 2.1.3 (v154). I used to have smooth video using my Firewire DV camcorder. Somewhere along the way (most likely a software change on the Mac, less likely a change in the camcorder’s setttings), the video that others see of me has become unusably jerky. My son, who has a 10.5 machine, can’t even see a video window; it apparently won’t open with my signal. My friend who has 10.4.X can open a video window but says it’s worthless. I’ve confirmed that my upload speed on my cable modem is 1350–1450 kbps. Any ideas?

    Tony (in the UK): “You da man!” Thank you very much. That solved the problem. Originally, QuickTime>Streaming was set to “Automatic” and iChat>Pref>Video>Bandwidth limit was “None”. I set Quicktime connection speed to “1 Mbps Cable” (because my upload speed is 1.35–1.45 Mbps) and set iChat Bandwidth limit to 500 kbps.

  • IMovie (v4) jerky video with 10.5 was fine with the original 10.3

    I can't download any usable video from my video camera to my computer now that I have OS 10.5. It used to work when I had 10.3 as my O.S. How do I get my system running better because it seems like it is a problem with processor speed, or should my system be able to run 10.5 and iMovie?
    Some help from Apple appreciated.

    In generic terms, call it a lack (or loss) of system resources.
    I haven't done a head to head comparison, but 10.5 likely uses more processor (and ram) than 10.3.
    Any LT has a slow HD (5400rpm) compared to a desktop HD (7200rpm)
    Video is drive and ram intensive, especially if you are trying to use imovie HD.
    I found 1080 HD video on my dual 1.42 could, and often was, jerky, even if nothing else was running. 720 was its limit, even them, couldn't be too long, or the jerkiness returned.
    Some things to check:
    How much free drive space do you have?
    On my G4, I had to keep at least 20% free, or the machine became very slow.
    Run the maintenance crons, either manually, or using macjanitor, cocktail, or similar.
    Check activity monitor for free/used ram, processes running that you may not need, etc. For example, my kodak software installed a "wireless listener" but I don't use that feature.
    Did you clean install 10.5, or upgrade in place?
    If you upgraded, check your software for updates. Some software, more than likely, share/freeware, may be unhappy with 10.5, and causing speed issues.
    I've seen this on a couple of machines.
    Parts of the old Norton AV package will also cause speed (or crash) issues (filesaver, for example), and may not have been removed by the Symantec AV installer.

  • Jerky Video for isolated user

    Hello,
    I recently launched a Flash website that has video tutorials
    synchronized with Flash animations. Overall the site is functioning
    well, but I have an isolated instance of user having very jerky
    video with the audio occasionally cutting out.
    His connection speed is fine (3572.7 Kbps). When I asked him
    for details he said the video was jerky from the start, and 'the
    video cycled from smooth to jerky once every half to a whole
    second.' He is using Flash player WIN 9.0.28.0, on win XP with all
    updates. When asked he did not provide the browser version.
    Here is a link to the site:
    http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Investing/StockInvestingTrading/Technical_Analysis.as px
    It's set up using net connection and net stream for flvs
    hosted on a media server. The flvs have cuepoints to trigger the
    animations. When a given flv is finished downloading the next flv
    in the list is then preloaded. The buffer time is set to 6 seconds.
    I haven't been able to recreate the problem. The feedback
    that we've gotten suggests that the site runs fine. If anyone has
    trouble viewing this please let me know and please provide details.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    avi is a very antique media-wrapper.. no idea, if any Windows system is able to playback h264.avi ..
    Plan A)
    choose an older codec, such as h263, mpeg4, ...
    Plan B)
    choose a younger wrapper: h264.mp4 is THE universal combo on my behalf .....
    Plan C)
    use a proprietary codec, wmv, you have to purchase a license from Microsoft/flip4mac to create such on a MacOS system...

  • Itunes 7.0.1 still has major problems with jerky video

    I thought the newest update to Itunes 7 would fix my problems with jerky video that have begun since this Itunes 7 came out. At first I thought maybe my computer was too old (powerbook 12" 1.5 Ghz, with maxed out RAM) to play the new resolution, but then I realized that even my old TV shows had jerky playback. It doesn't seem to matter what size. The audio works fine, but the video freezes every few seconds. This is not really acceptable and I'm thinking about uninstalling Itunes 7 until apple issues a fix that address this video playback issue. Anyone have any suggestions or heard anything? Thanks!

    I located the problem of the jerky (1 to 2 frames per second) video that started after updating to iTunes7 and 7.0.1!
    Dragging (copying) the file "ATIRadeon9700GLDriver.bundle" from system/library/extensions/ to the desktop and deleting it from the extensions folder (or else simply deleting it and then dragging it from the trash to the desktop) returns normal smooth video to non-H.264 mpeg video on my second generation iMac (ATI Radeon 9600). Unfortunately, this also makes Coverflow stop working with the message "iTunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer". I'm not sure what else will be disabled by moving this file.
    Obviously, this is not a solution, or even a feasible workaround. Where can I get a "good" ATI driver? I went to the ATI site "https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&fold erID=27" and tried installing "macosx-ati-displays-4-5-7.dmg", but to no avail.

  • Jerky encoding with UscreenCapture

    I have Abobie Flash Encoder 2 and have jerky video on all

    Well I find this filter is quite good in 'masking' block artifact that codec like xvid, or other low compression codec have. I only apply it if I find the block artifact is too much and I find this filter is less offending to my eyes than the block artifact.
    In manual it said that if you have noisy video and want to lower the size then you can use this filter. It also blur the video a bit. But I suspect it is more than blur as I try gaussian blur in time line and the result is not as good. You can see the result as well. There is the tab between source and target and you can compare the result by togling between source and target tab.
    BTW, anyone with 1 core, dual, or quad core, can you tried to encode with it? Just cancel it after few minutes as I want to see what is your processor utilization with this filter on. Also you can see how long does it take to process this video from the 'estimation time left'.

  • Jerky video when uncompressed

    Ok... I'm going to be a bit long winded here so everyone knows the situation exactly.
    I use a FCP box at work editting local news promos. I work in DV.... haven't had any problems...
    My boss was nice enough to buy me a new system so I can work uncompressed and such. Here is the run down of what I have....
    4x2.5 GHz PowerPC G5
    MacOSX 10.4.6
    4.5 GB DDR2 SDRAM
    Final Cut Pro version 5.0.4
    AJA Kona LH
    Sequence Preset: AJA Kona LH: 525 29.97 10bit
    Capture Preset: AJA Kona LH: 525 29.97 10bit
    Device Control Preset: AJA Kona LH NTSC Sony VTR
    Video Playback: AJA Kona 525i29.97 10bit (720x486)
    Audio Playback: AJA Kona
    Deck: Sony DNW-A75 Betacam SX
    Storage: Apple XServe Raid with 1Terabyte over 4 drives.
    Video comes from the deck to the AJA Kona through an SDI line.
    I do not know much of how the Raid is setup since some dude came and did it for us.... it doesnt work like I had intended it to.
    We have the FCP running DV quality, an After Effects box, and the Uncompressed quad FCP all three hooked up to it.
    My idea had been that this way all three could access the same information. However, when the guy set it up for us... he said he partitioned it four ways. Each computer gets one partition with the uncompressed FCP box getting a second. From any of those boxes I cannot access the other box's partitions... clearly this defeats the purpose of the system....
    Anyway, I have found that when I digitize video on my new uncompressed system.... after about 15 seconds it starts to get jerky. The video will freeze while the audio continues to play. Usually it will do this for maybe 15 frames and then play again for maybe 8 then do it again a couple of times. It also reports timecode breaks repeatedly when I know for a fact there are no breaks on the tape.
    To trouble shoot this I changed my capture setting to 8 bit uncompressed. The problem persisted. However, when I changed it over to DV compression, the problem went away and there were no timecode breaks.
    If anyone has suggestions I would greatly appreciate them and I might bake you brownies. haha!
    If you want my 100% speculative guess... I think that perhaps when dude partitioned the Raid, he gave each computer a single drive on the array. This way the information being written is no longer being split four ways for faster read and write times but is simply being written by one drive, the drive can't keep up with the uncompressed video and thus I get lag. However, seeing as I didn't set that up, I don't know if that is the case or if that is even possible. I don't have much experience at the hardware end of things!
    Help me!!

    Okay Patrick, here's the latest in my jerky video saga...
    I ran the test with these settings:
    Test: Disk Read/Write
    Disk: Host1Media1 (XServe Partition)
    File Size: 4.0 GB
    Frame Size: 720x486 10-bit
    File System Cache: Disabled
    Simultaneous KNOA DMA: On (I'm not sure what this is but I clicked it)
    The average write speed was about 100MB/second
    The average read speed was about 110MB/second
    I noticed though that at frame 385 it was writing 192.2MB/s and then for frame 386 it dropped to 0.4MB/s, frame 387 was 1.8MB/s and then 388 was back to 120.0MB/s. This occured again around frame 3400.
    I asked the IT guy here at work and he said that sort of behavior is normal for a drive system and shouldn't cause this problem.
    I also tried some more experiments today. I tried setting my capture scratch to the internal media drive and had no problems digitizing 10bit uncompressed. The problem seems to only be with the XServe. We called the guy who installed it for us and he said to reboot it and if that didnt work to reformat the drives. Basically, I have no faith in the guy. When he installed the thing he didn't seem to have a clue what he was doing. Go figure.
    Anyway, based on what I've seen I've come to the conclusion that the problem is not with the KONA card (it plays the video fine, its just when we digitize), FCP, or the computer but is instead with the XServe.
    I don't have much experience with this stuff but, it all seems to point in that direction to me.
    I'm not an idiot am I? The XServe is meant to be used for this sort of thing, right? I hope we didn't just buy the wrong thing alltogether as well, that would suck just a bit! :/
    Once again, any more suggestions would rock as I'm at a loss as to what would cause this. Perhaps I should post in the XServe forum?
    Kip
    btw, I've tried to supply as much info as possible whenever possible, seeing as I've read so often comments such as "what version are you using? What deck? ****, what computer?!" If anything pertinent is missing please let me know!

  • VIDEO IN on new Quad Core iMac?

    Hello FOlks.
    I have a Digital Night Vision Monocular I need to connect video in on my Quad Core iMac.
    Can anyone tell me WHICH CABLE is the cheapest and best for this?
    I need a standard video like from a camcorder plug, I've seen converters with multiple video input sources even.
    I already read discussions about it, I just need to know WHICH MODELS work with the new video input feature of the newest iMac's like mine.
    thanks

    Your topic subject line says "VIDEO OUT on new Quad Core iMac."
    You will not be able to use RCA input (or any other composite input such as S-Video) on the new 27-inch iMac's Mini DisplayPort. The only input that works there is DisplayPort, which can be from regular DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort output. There are some costly adapters that convert DVI to DisplayPort, but I do not know of any other type. One issue is going probably going from an analog signal to digital.
    You may instead find success using a USB video input interface device. The most popular are by Miglia and Elgato. Such devices usually come with software that allows you to display and capture video input from various sources.

  • Jerky Video Problem. Audio OK

    Win XP Pro 32  SP3   2 GB RAM  Firefox 20.0.1  FlashPlayer 11.7.700.169
    I have jerky video. One short still image after another. Audio is OK
    How can I fix it.  Tried reloading Firefox. Reloaded FlashPlayer Increased cache size. Same problem remains
    Thank you for any help

    Let's change the topic a little. The reason I'm using this impossible-to-navigate Win 8 computer is that my own Win 7 computer went belly up in terms of playing anything at all. a couple of weeks ago. Before that, no problem. It was a sudden change, and I don't visit questionable web sites. HP fiddled with the Dr Beats because I was trying to get stereo separation (a MUST have) which they were not ableto do, but I typed in some IP somewhere they told me to. Or it might be one of the Windows/HP automatic downloads that install whether I want them to or not. Facebook will not load in any reasonable time (many minutes to register that I clicked on something.) I got it to play these same videos by uninstalling Flash and downloading Chrome, but it literally takes ten minutes to load a two minute video, and after a few in a row it also displays a black screen requiring a reboot. It appears to be a DNS problem but I have zero idea on how to fix that. The computer is still in warrenty but I have found little help from HP, who with every problem I've had want me to send it back and do without it for three weeks, which is impossible. That computer is also a Pavilion, dv6, windows 7 home premium (which at least is useable, unlike W8,) product number B6S13UA#ABA. If I can fix that problem I won't have to go buy a Mac tomorrow.

  • How do I fix the herky jerky video?

    I am running a Dell Optiplex 320 with pentium D. 3.0 GHz, 2MB ram, with NVIDIA 512 MB video card. How do I fix the herky jerky video?

    You have a slow internet connection to the server supplying the movie trailer or there is congestion in the path to the server. The signal strenght to your WiFi network has nothing to do with this.
    It's as simple as that.
