I am having video playback problems with Logic Pro X. Video is stuttering and not playing back very well. I can load the same video into a LP9 project and the video playback is perfect.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)
After picking the brains of sfLogic Ninja I have found a solution to the problem. He suggested converting the mp4 file to a 422ProRez file. A cheap and easy way to do this is to open the mp4 in Quicktime 7 and choose File - Export. Then choose Movie to Quicktime Movie and press the options button to the right. Then go into video settings and choose Apple ProRes 422 (HQ). You will then find that your file works much better in Logic X.
Definitely a difference in applications though.. Logic 9 would run your video in it's original format without problems, right?
Yes but this solves the problem and allows you to work with all the new features in Logic X. However, the problem with the snapping to scene cuts (frames) still remains.
Tried this. Didn't work for me - the 422ProRez file was less stuttery but still unworkable. Still working in Logic 9.
try with Apple Photo JPEG setting
but it don't be perfect
Wait for an really update

Same here. I score for TV. No matter was QT file format, it's randomly stuttering, and very hard to lock too. I've used logic since 1993, and they usually fix these type of issues much quicker.
For those having this issue...
Please use the Logic Pro feedback form and report this. The more people report the problem the more likely a fix will be forthcoming....
send feedback done..
hope a lot of you do the same..
enjoy !
Not sure what's going on, but as a last ditch effort, I upgraded to 10.8.5, and ran whatever other software updates were out there with hope that QT might be updated as well, and I haven't had any issues at all for over a week.
Done already
I actually had my project freeze and enjoyed the spinning beach ball of death. I usually save each time I add an instrument, so I didn't lose much. I did a restart and things are running smoother. I haven't yet installed Maveric, but am running 10.8.5. I'm convinced there's still an issue, it's just not consistent. I have a couple rooms running Logic, and my other suite seems fine. I might just install it and see if things straighten out.
Thank you. Feedback sent - let's hope they fix these so we can actually use X.
I too am having this issue and I am scoring an animation. I've also had a freeze yesterday while working and luckily AutoSave did its job. Feedback sent to Apple and here is to hoping for a fix. I'll try the conversion tonight to see if that helps my system.

Having serious problems with this. Started a score and some songs i cant sync properly. Have to bounce a L e R mix to test things. Just want to point out how absurd is that they didint test this properly. Is not a hidden feature is the main reason people want to use a DAW today.
Feedback sent and waiting...
Totally agree guys,
it drives me crazy, this stuttering and it is not possible anymore to move the picture by mouse frame by frame in the timeline. Feedback sent and waiting for updates.
incredible! Good luck to all of you!
Logic Pro X is stuttering video
