sped up DVCPRO HD 720p24 footage plays stuttery

Greetings editing gurus,

I am working on a Macbook Pro running OS X 10.5.8 with 4 GB ram working in FCP 6.5.
I'm editing DVCPRO HD 720p24 footage and trying to create a time lapse look.

When I speed up the footage and render it, it plays back jittery and not smooth.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to fix this?

Thanks in advance for your time,

Isaac

Are you checking it on an external monitor? Try running your external video out to an HDTV and see how it really looks (you can never judge by the Viewer window). Also, have you tried doing the time remapping in Motion? It has tools that provide better (and smoother) results IMHO.
