Need Help Viewing Footage on External Monitor

[seanmcleod]

Hey guys hope you can help.

I am trying to send the video from FCP to an external monitor in real time for colour correcting purposes. I have an ADVC110 converter hooked up via firewire to my G5 and composites running into my Sony Trinitron monitor. My problem seems to be with 24p footage. I can only see the frame that I'm stopped on in the timeline, but cannot view it in motion during playback, however the audio is coming through the monitor fine. In a 29.97 timeline I can view the footage in real time playback. Is there anyway to view the video from a 24p timeline or am I kinda effed on that front?

Thanks in advance!

No there is definitely a way, but sounds like you have a setting that isn't correct somewhere. I'm really not sure where, as my external works just fine... but you should post this in the FCP section of the forums for more helpful advice.

My first suggestion would be to go to "view" in the FCP menu, then "external video", and make sure it's on "ALL frames".

Okay Ill post it there as well, but I definitely have that checked off and it's still just giving me one frame.
