Apple posts FCP dropped frames “causes and solutions” document

The web page discusses various causes of dropped frames during capture and output. Starting out with very basic information ("the hard disk cannot keep up with the video data rate or because the computer processor cannot perform all of the applied effects in time"), the document eventually covers (and links to other documents covering) how to optimize RAM and PCIe board configurations, and other issues.

You can read the document here.

Field of View by Jim Feeley

Jim FeeleyJim Feeley is a producer, journalist, and occasional audio mixer at POV Media, a northern California production company.

In previous lives, Jim made microphones, played music, raced bikes, and edited Digital Video magazine (not all at the same time). He currently focuses on nonfiction writing and documentary production. Most of his work fits under the large umbrella of technology, science, and policy (with a little sports tossed in).

Since books and docs pay just a bit better than poetry and juggling, he also works on projects for corporate clients. He buys all the equipment he needs to buy, rents the rest, and struggles to resist facility creep.
