clipwrap & FCP at DVinfo.net

I was experimenting with clipwrap for importing footage into FCP without transcoding everything via Log & Transfer.
My intention was to use the rewrap functionality in Clipwrap to create small .movs that I could trim down in FCP and then export or render only the footage that I need.

When I first imported the clips into FCP6 and conformed the sequence to the clips I noticed that the clips were stuttering on the timeline and the viewer.
They played fine in QTPro though.

Then I was experimenting with doing exports with QTpro of trimmed clips. I changed the export codec in QTP and did a few experiments.

Here is the strange part.

When I went back to FCP. The original re wrapped clips were now playing smoothly in the time line but were still stuttering in the viewer. The next time I opened FCP the clips were also playing smoothly in the viewer as well.

Does this make sense to anyone? I didn't do anything other than mess with QT pro export settings.

I'm wondering if anyone else is having issues using the rewrapped clips in FCP.

Thanks!
