[MacDV] Beeping !

[E. Bond Francisco]

To all,

Here's a note to the SF Cutters from the late, great and terribly 
missed Ralph Fairweather, that addressed this issue in FCPro 3. You 
just can't keep a good man down!!!

Now here is one for the FAQ, if ever there was one. It's a very long and
convoluted explanation to give, to do it justice. Thankfully, it only
affects FCP 3, so far.

It has to do with the combination of your audio playback quality 
setting, as
well as SyncAdjuct settings, in your prefs. Too complicated to explain 
why.
In short, it takes too much processing power for FCP to playback
SyncAdjusted movies in High Quality. The beeping indicates your audio 
needs
rendering, because it exceeds your real time audio processing settings.

Just set your playback quality to Low, and unless you are capturing DV 
shot
on an XL-1, turn off SyncAdjust too. Or, if you have a real fast 
machine,
try uping your real-time audio tracks, also in User Settings.
