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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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!

  • YouTube subscription screen shows no videos to view

    After upgrading apple tv2 my YouTube subscription screen is blank after selecting the subscription.  It appears there are no videos to view.

    They must have done the same thing with the Iphone and Imac, cause they are not working either.

  • Video camera viewing help

    i have purchased a nokia 5800 xm and i can take an view pics but can only take videos not view them, its just a blank screen with no sound that runs for the length of the video taken. and when the videos are listed they all have a red star next to them

    The answer to this question is no. Apparently, if you use the belkin digital camera link, you can't view the photos until after you sync with your computer on both ipod photo and ipod video. Weak.

  • Video playback stutters in small viewer

    When I start playing an event or project in the small viewer window in iMovie 11 (at the top right of the screen), the video plays for a few seconds then stops, then plays some more, and pauses again. It keeps stuttering during playback. The strange this is, when I play back in full screen mode (command-G), it plays back smoothly without interruption. The video source is a DV file. It used to play back just fine in the small viewer, but then something happened. My iMac is a quad core and plenty fast enough. Any ideas?

    easy answer first: your audio properties do not
    match your sequence audio properties, hence the need
    to render. if you're working with mini dv, the audio
    should be sampled at 16 bit 48k but as you've a
    problem, i'll surmise that you're not using the easy
    setup to capture and set up your project.
    I did the capture awhile ago. I don't think I did anything unusual, but I can't guarantee I didn't. See my answer above to Jim Cookman. If I did, I'm not seeing what it was - nor, more importantly, how to resolve it. Would batch-processing the clips to reconvert the sound in some way be appropriate? If so, any ideas what I would convert to?
    it would be helpful if you would go into more detail
    about your set up. none of us can look over your
    shoulder. where's this media stored? system drive
    or another hard drive? if another hard drive, is
    that an internal or an external hard drive? if it's
    external, how do you have it connected; firewire or
    usb? if it's firewire, what else shares the firewire
    bus? if it's usb, stop using usb!
    External Firewire 400 drive - 4th and last on a chain.
    what have you done to your computer recently?
    I keep it upgraded with normal Software Update changes. Got the new version of FCP (5.1) a couple months back and it's upgraded to 5.1.4. I don't think I've done anything else out of the ordinary.
    Of course I don't want to rule out anything - but the clips play back fine in the Canvas and in QT, so I'm skeptical it would be a hardware issue.
    Thanks - I appreciate your interest and help.

  • Stuttering video/audio and system crashes?

    For the better part of this year, I've had a terrible time with video and audio stuttering on my MacBook (Sept. 2007; 2.16GHz, 4MB RAM). This was especially noticeable when watching streaming Netflix videos, and it didn't seem to matter if I was using Safari or Firefox. Clearing the browser cache has little to no impact.
    The problem appears to have worsened since I upgraded to Snow Leopard about two months ago. (I'd previously been using OS 10.4.11; I now have 10.6.7). This same problem now impacting YouTube and QuickTime, even when I'm viewing files on my hard drive (approx. 27 GB free on a 120 GB drive), so I doubt that my internet connection is to blame. This happens whether I'm on WiFi or on an Ethernet connection -- also, my Ethernet randomly decides to stop working, but that's (probably) a separate issue.
    (Also since my OS upgrade, I'm suddenly having battery issues as well.)
    The problem is sometimes so bad that the entire system crashes, and I'm forced to do a cold/hard reboot of my MacBook. This has happened twice within the past 24 hours. Mostly, I can watch a few seconds or sometimes several minutes of video before the video and audio start sticking and stuttering again -- so pretty much any video capability is nearly worthless to me at this point.
    Here's the Panic Report from my latest system crash this morning... I don't know how to read Panic Reports, so I'm hoping someone might spot something that I can fix to address this issue?

    Definitely not. I've got a 2007 MacBook, and even with the extended warranty that coverage expired a year ago.
    If you're concnered about cost, you could always call and ask. In my experience, the people at the Genius Bar (and Apple Store in general) are happy to provide assistance free of charge. If you have to replace a part, system, etc. you'll certainly need to cover that, but they should talk to you about costs and get your consent before doing any work on your machine.

  • Can´t view video in viewer

    How can I display different nodes in the viewer? If I doubleclick the nodes I can view pictures but video will not show. With only one node with video it will display..

    I'm glad the Cap'n was able to parse your post. I was clueless as to what you were saying. What you want is a flipbook if you want to play the video realtime...

  • Choppy, stuttering video after Microsoft Office 2004 11.2.5 update

    Is anyone else experiencing this?
    Here's a brief story:
    I'm on my second MacBook (first one had a squishy mouse button that was replaced by Genius Bar). When the Apple OSX 10.4.7 update came out, I upgraded. The video performance became awful immediately. Anytime I minimized a program (or clicked on it in the dock to un-minimize it) it would stutter and zoom up very choppy, almost seeming like the video wanted to freeze, but wouldn't quite get there. Sometimes scrolling using Firefox or Safari would get choppy too. Then I found out that the inital OSX 10.4.7 update was missing a few files (Open GL, I think). I reinstalled that update off of the Apple website and all was dandy.
    Then, the other day, my Microsoft AutoUpdate ran and told me to update to Office 2004 11.2.5. I did. Immediately, video performance went into the tank again, just like when I first upgraded to the bad version of OSX 10.4.7. Minimizing programs was choppy and stuttering again and for a short while I had funky horizontal blue snowy lines when switching tabs in Safari and Firefox. That has since gone away, but the choppy video performance remains.
    Anyone experiencing the same since updating Office 2004 to 11.2.5? Anyone have any suggestions?
    Help. I love this MacBook, but it's performance is annoying me.

    The updates are not cumulative. You need to download
    and install each update from 11.2.1 thru 11.2.3.
    Kappy: I tried downloading and installing 11.2.1, with the plan to download and install the other two if 11.2.1 worked. And the program verified upon completion that the installation was successful. However, when I tried to trash the 11.2.1 installation folder as instructed, I got an error message saying that I "did not have sufficient privileges" for the maneuver, and when I opened Word to see what version of Office 2004 I had now, it just said 11.2, not 11.2.1. So I guess my efforts to keep up with modern technology are doomed after all.
    On the other hand, since I'm a home-office user and the only one using the application (i.e., I'm the Administrator, but not on an Exchange), I guess there's no harm in not having the updates. Since the issues the three patches resolve seem to be mainly Exchange issues, I don't really need them. But I do appreciate the helpful information from you and Bob Gold--thanks very much.

  • "Error: Out of memory" [not able to open timeline or videos in 'Viewer']

    Hello all,
    I am opening an old project from FCP 4 to Studio 1. The old system used a 'Cinewave' capture card. The new system is AJA Kona. I opened and changed timeline settings for many projects and they worked. This project the option fails. If I open a timeline this appears: "Error: Out of memory". The error also happens when I try to open video in the viewer. I noticed there are some videos in the SD 720x480 format that I am not able to open within FCP. Yet, I see them in Quicktime. I have saved the project with a new name in the current FCP format. All updates are current.
    What is the diagnosis?
    Thanks,
    Jason

    ummm....
    I'll have to check that Monday. I'm actually at home. The problem is at the work computer.
    I will check then and report back.
    Please look if I need help then.
    Thanks,
    Jason
