Hello. I'm using a G4 with the following specs:
Built In memory: 384MB
Virtual memory: off
OS: 9.0.4
When I use Final Cut Pro with the following specs I have a big problem playing back my captured footage. The Quicktime player stutters, plays slow and the audio is out of sync. When I compress the footage for streaming Real Player it looks fine. I'm using the following settings with Final Cut:
FOR VIDEO:
Compression: Apple DV-NTSC
Frame size: 720x480
FPS: 29.97
Quality: Best
FOR AUDIO:
Rate: 44.100 kHz
Size: 16 Bits
I thought perhaps that not enough memory had been allotted to Final Cut and Quicktime. I went in and beefed those up and still get the same stutter effect. This happens if I play the clip off my hard drive or import it into Final Cut. Any thoughts on how to get smooth playback?
