Re: "Stuttering" problem with HMC150 footage

I have had a 150 for about 9 months and never had an issue like this. One thing I would check is if the extra graphics card is turned on. To check this you go to your apple preferences and under the energy saver icon make sure you check "higher performance".

My work flow from avchd has been to dump the avchd to an external drive (7200rpm with an 800firewire port) and trans-code the footage to prores422 back on to that drive in a separate folder and edited in fcp from that. Has worked like a charm.

Also, no reason to to use proresHQ unless you are working in a 4:4:4 color space, which you most likely aren't due to the 4:2:0 color space native to the 150.

Good luck!
