Final Cut Pro AVCHD glitches after L&T
I am shooting a doc on the AF100 and using Log and Transfer to create ProRes 422 files. ( I got rid of my MacPro for financial reasons a few months back and thought I could work on my MacBook Pro.) But all my ProRes files have tiny glitches in them, probably 2-3 frames of digital glitchiness in some part of the frame every 2 minutes or so. My AVCD files are on an external drive connected with a 800 FW cable, and the files are going back to that drive. I am not using my computer at the same time to do any other heavy duty stuff. I am working on FCP 7.0.3. I have about 80 gigs free on my internal HD so not enough to store the final files (though I could try to put the AVCHD files on the desktop and see if that helps-- I will try that next.)
I had this problem about a year back and solved it by using my MacPro...unfortunately that's no longer an option. Any ideas how I can get clean ProRes files on my MacBook Pro? Maybe there's another software to create ProRes files from AVCHD files? Thanks very much for any help.
