I tried previewing my finished footage on the "digital cinema desktop preview" in fcp 5.1 option and it wont play. it'll scrub fine but when I push play it freeze frames on the last frame it was stopped. I tried going to external video and clicking "all frames" and it's selected. does anyone else have this problem? i dont know if it matters but it's a dvcpro 720 24p timeline with dvcpro footage.
 
And are you actually outputting to an Apple Cinema Display? I have to ask, as I've had calls from clients asking about why it's not working right, when they don't have an Apple Cinema Disply. So, I have to ask the obvious.

Go here, in FCP, Help > Final Cut Pro User Manual.
Then go to page 219, there's a list of troubleshooting tips for using this option that are very good and have some really good information.
