DVX 100ap after rendering video & audio skip at DVinfo.net

Peter Varitimos · October 14th, 2005, 07:13 AM

After I bought this awesome camera, I put it to the test.

My System: eMac G4, 1g ram, 440 gb hard drive
Application: Final Cut Express 3.01

First I tested it on a project I already completed with my JVC camera. Which I was able to view perfectly on my monitor

I then hooked my DVX up to my system, and when I viewed the same material the video & audio skipped.

I then preset my camera and system according to the Panasonic recommended settings. (although the settings recommended, were for Final Cut Pro and not Express.) After the settings were adjusted , it had no affect on the previous stated results. Although I don't think the version of my software is the problem.

So I attempted one more test.
I uploaded new footage taken from the DVX to FCE. The raw footage viewed perfectly, UNTIL I started rendering. Then it started to skip again.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I did repair permissions, but that did nothing.

Thanks for your help.

Not to be smart, but why try iMovie? That won't solve my problem.

Hey,

What OS are you using? If OS X or HD there is probably an incompatibility problem with your FCP 3. I could be wrong here but the research I have done indicates that FCP 3 will only operate correctly in OS 9 versions. My personal experience backs this up. My suggestion would be to partition your drive and isolate FCP 3 in OS 9 for your editing purposes.

You can always change your start up disk to open in OS X when you need to.

Good Luck,

Stephanie

Im almost positive if you export it as a .mov it will play perfectly it just is slow in FCP. FCP is a little shaky if its not on a PERFECT monster of a computer.
