FCPX hiccups during transitions - help!
Please have a look at this movie - http://vimeo.com/34601706
First, you must know I am a complete novice and am fairly sure this problem is with me not doing something right.
This was created in my trial version of FCPX. Every place there is a transition, the movie gets hung up. This is apparently not a Vimeo problem because the exact same thing happens when I burn the movie to a DVD (which is how I initially found the problem). Here is what I am doing:
- Bring clips in (via FCP import) directly from my XA10 to an event
- Create a new project, link it to the event and let FCP decide the format based on the format of the first video clip brought into the timeline (1080i, 60i - FCP converts 60 to 29.97 and I would love to know just how it does this and what the ramifications are)
- Drag in my clips and transitions, and bring in a music track
- Render the entire thing (which seems redundant because FCP seems to begin rendering automatically whenever I make a change in the timeline)
- Play the timeline from beginning to end within FCP, and note that it runs perfectly
- Then, using the "share" pulldown, either send it to Vimeo (as 1080i, 29.97) or burn to DVD (automatic settings)
- See that the exact same problem occurs with each one
OK, where am I going wrong? If you need more info, just ask for it. I am not sure what you might want to know, so I am being lazy and not listing every detail I can think of. Thanks a bunch for your time considering this.
