Re: Jumping Clips

Hi Cameron and welcome to Creative COW.

It sounds like the media can't be accessed fast enough for smooth play back. Is your media on a separate hard drive or do you have it on your startup drive? It's generally accepted that any media should not be placed on your startup drive but only on a dedicated hard drive or hard drive array for best performance.

You can also lower the playback quality settings within FCP so that you're not dropping frames. FCP does not, by default, capture clips in .dv format so this might also be part of the problem. Were these clips captured with something like iMovie? You might end up having to transcode the .dv files into .mov files if you want high quality play back without dropping frames.

Providing a bit of info about your system would also help in resolving your issue, since we can't look over your shoulder.

- Don
