Nope. Not me.

How are you viewing this external playback?

Did you ever get your problem resolved? I'm having the same problem on all four of the Mac Pros we updated.

I'm having the same problem after I upgraded to 7.0.1, the jerkiness appears on 2 different external monitors, my computer speed or ram shouldn't be a problem.
Does anyone have the solution for this problem?

How are you getting the signal to those monitors? capture card? Did you update the drivers to the latest versions?

HELP... My external video freezes when ever I use my external 1920x1080 monitor. Everything was fine prior the upgrade to FCP 7.0.1 or maybe even 7.0 The previous thread said this is a known issue. Do you have any links to Apple addressing this problem or is Apple aware there is a problem? It started happening to my system back in middle of 2009. I thought the solution would be to upgraded my video card from a 256 NVIDIA P345 to ATI RADEON 1900 with 512 ram. This made it less jerkey but the problem is still very hard to live with. Can anyone shed some light on this issue? Thanks in advance.

I found the fix for Frozen external monitor. I opened the Audio Video Settings menu and selected the A/V Devices TAB. Set the Playback Output for Video to Digital Cinema desktop preview and checked the box for [x] Mirror On Desktop. that mirror on desktop box not checked was the problem.

Hope this will help others with the same trouble. Maybe the FCP update to ver 7.0.1 UN-check this box and I did not realize it? I struggled with frozen video on my external monitor for months.

Checking the "Mirror on Desktop" option has nothing to do with external reference monitors, but instead refers to your computer monitor.
