Frames are sticking/stuttering/skipping on playback. 720p30, HDV or Apple Intermediate codec and DV 60i anamorphic. DV anamorphic scenes captured from HD100 or PD150 all have drop/skip frames. Skips occur in FCP or QT playback. Skips are embeded in QT exports too.
DV files shot with HD100 or PD150, captured with either play fine.
For test footage I shot traffic on the freeway. The skips show as all of the vehicles jumping forward about 1 frame. Skip/stutter/stuck frames happen repeatedly in about the same location on clips, but not the same frame. Frame by frame advancing shows all frames are there, none missing. Each vehicle moves an equal distance as each frame is advanced.
I have tested files on a 185 MBps 1.8TB RAID and a 200GB SATA drive, both capture and playback.
"Report drop frames on playback" is active and does not report on these frames. Problem does not occur on D1 video or standard 4:3 DV shot or captured with either camera.
I have tried every tip I have found on the web and a few I made up -
Render audio, render all, insert slug on V1 and A1/2, delete viewer, 50% canvas, close all other timelines, close all other FCP windows, close all other apps, delete all audio, delete empty audio tracks, delete empty video tracks.
Anyone found the real cause of this problem?
