Quicktime File strobes in FCP

Hello to all,

I received a Quicktime file of a short film. When viewing in Quicktime the movie plays fine. When I import in Final Cut Pro the film strobes in certain points. The strobing is not constant. I tried exporting a few seconds of the film where it's strobing in order to provide an example, but when I exported the file from Final Cut Pro and played back in Quicktime the strobing is not there.

The settings of the Quicktime file are:

Format: DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, 720 ? 480 (640 ? 480), Millions
16-bit Integer (Big Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz

FPS: 29.97

Data Size: 3.64 GB

Normal Size: 720 x 480 pixels
Any thoughts?

As, always, thanks so much!

Lisha

FCP 6.0.6
Quicktime 7.7

Just want to add...

The strobing is happening in the same places. The film plays fine in Quicktime, but strobes/stutters when playing back in FCP.

First guess... Your sequence settings is incorrect. What is your sequence settings set to? What frame rate and codec?
