My clips are pausing at edit points. Any idea why?

Hi, I'm editing some quicktime (.mov) footage that I have ripped from a domestic DVD camcorder in FCP 7. It plays fine and there are no issues with the quality. However, when I cut the footage and move it alongside another clip, it pauses at the edit point and then continues. It will then pause at the next edit point and so on. Why is it doing this? Are my settings out? I've checked them out and they seem ok. When I move a clip away from being adjacent to another clip it plays fine. It just doesn't like having neighbours. Is this a common problem and is there a simple fix for it? Please advise.
p.s. My apologies if this isn't written in the correct format. This is my first post.

Thanks for your reply - as you can tell it's taken me a while to return to this project.
I ripped the footage as a QT mov using H.264 codec at a bit rate of 2,500. The resolution is 720 x 480.
My FCP set up is - DV Pal 48khz. This is my usual setting and normally welcomes QT movies.
Do you think I need to change my settings? Or do I need to convert the source footage?
Your advise would be appreciated.

  • I imported events from iphoto into aperture and aperture is showing 2 photos for each picture, one original and one edited although none of the photos from iphoto had been edited. Any idea why this has happened and what I need to do to prevent this.

    I imported several events for iPhoto into Aperture3 and in Aperture it shows two photos for each photo imported, one original and one edited although none of the photos imported were edited. Why has this happened and what do I need to do to prevent this in future. I have only recently got Aperture and am trying to learn as I go along using the Focal Press guide. Thanks for any help.

    This is not what I found to be the case in a recent experiment using iPhoto11- I did repeat it to be sure.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15586837#15586837
    Quickly, what I found is that only the ones I did actual adjustments on brought over two images.  Images that were simply rotated, had "quick fixes" or "Effects" did not bring in two images.  More importantly, among the ones with adjustments that did bring in two images, the ones with the keyword  "iPhoto Edited" appear to be nothing more than iPhoto's 6MB JPEG Previews.  The master was a 25MB RAW image.
    I don't know why some users are experiencing doubles on everything, but I recommend caution in deciding which ones to remove or you may find yourself deleting masters and keeping previews.

    Yes, you cannot repair the startup volume from itself. Do the following:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    You need to either free up space on your hard drive or replace it with a larger drive. You should always have at least 20 GBs or 10% of the hard drive's capacity, whichever is larger, as free space.
    Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
      1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
      2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
      3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
      4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
      5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
      6. See The Storage Display.
    You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
    You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
    Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

  • Songs recently added are stuttering while playing.  Any ideas why?

    I recently added 4 CD's to the library and created a playlist of those 4 CDs. Now when I play them, they 'stutter' while playing the music.

    Do they "stutter" when you play them in itunes or only on your iPod? If they do in itunes, they might have just failed to import correctly, or skipped while importing, or are scratched.
    If they only stutter on your iPod, perhaps try restoring your iPod.. If that doesn't help, you might need a new hard drive.

    Recently upgraded Quicktime now some but not all videos that I have produced as16:9 are displayed as 4:3. any ideas?
    The usual problem is the creation of an anamorphic 16:9 file and either losing the internal flag/aspect settings or displaying the file on a media player that does not correctly use the display information embedded in the file. Physically splitting/trimming anamorphic source files in iMovie rather than splitting/trimming the source content by reference can throw away the anamorphic settings/flag when the content is re-written to the hard drive, incorrectly creating a non-anamorphic file from an anamorphic source, or incorrectly creating an anamorphic file from a non-anamorphic source can all produce your problem. To know what is happening, you will either have to provide more details regarding your workflow or provide an sample clip for examination. In some cases, depending on the video compression format involved and the target media player, the problem can be fixed without having to re-compress the file.

    I am using my Droid RAZR M phone, and the messaging app that comes installed on it. Under app info it says version 4.4.2-15. I haven't downloaded any other messaging apps.
    I have also deleted ALL of my text messages from anyone & rechecked my voicemail. I still have "1 unread msg" and it is driving me crazy! LOL

    Hello! It is my understanding that you need to add the individual files to the Source Code Control along with the .lvproj file.
    Here is a great deal of information on Source Code Control Practices in LabVIEW.

    HI! any idea why the add videos on apple site are not loading on my computer?

    You may have something as simple as a corrupt cache. Try resetting in Safe Mode and see if that fixes it. If not another thing to attempt is opening Disk Utility and Repairing Disk Permissions, do this action 2-3 times.

        Hi benzgotcha32,
    I want you to have the ability to forward any needed emails! Let's review what trouble is preventing the messages from going out. Which device do you have that's not allowing the messages to be sent? What type of email account do you have? Are you able to create a new email and have that successfully send? I look forward to hearing back from you so we can can get this matter resolved.
    Thank you,

    Hi I have just got back from the apple store and the guy at the Genius bar looked at it and said it was a manufacturing fault, and because it has been like it since new, and seemed to be getting worse he replaced the computer  and I have a new warranty from today.
    We got the feeling as soon as he looked at it that he has seen this before, I did say to him I was concerned it would be a replacement screen and I was not really happy about that as it was so new, and he said that was the normal procedure, but as the fault was already there at new and it was getting worse they would replace. I could not have asked for a better service.
    Not unpacked this one yet but am hoping all is good, its a great little machine.
    Thank you for your responses, and I hope this might help someone else.  One thing it did not seem to be missing pixels but something to do with the screen production?
