Q: Inconsistent stutter jerky playback after encode

I'm on a Late 2013 Mac Pro "can" with 12 GB RAM connected to a Drobo D5 via Thunderbolt.

 

I have a mulit-camera edit in Final Cut Pro X 10.2.3. When complete, I use "Send to Compressor..." where it opens, as it should, in Compressor 4.2.2. When I try to export a 1920x1080 MP4, I get unbearably stuttery playback, dropping frames like mad. I don't have this issue when outputting SD versions that I email to the client for review.

 

What I end up having to do is output the edit to a Quicktime with ProRes 422, open that in Quicktime 7, and export with the settings I used in Compressor. No problem with playback whatsoever.

 

Anyone else have this problem?
