and did you play back off internal or external hard drive?

I know catalyst skips frames, and slow some movies to do not freeze, that is great feature,
catalyst is designed to preserve visual integrity and flow of images- NO DROPPED FRAMES - whatever else goes on in the computer.
It slows the playback down rather than skips frames.

Almost every other piece of playback software - DROPS Frames to do accurate timing.

this produces visual glitches.

Computers are not designed to playback video with a regular rhythm, they do many other things at the same time.
Outside of catalyst worlds - Normally these visual glitches do not matter.
But when playing back graphics or visual FX in the types of shows this has been used on - DROPPED frames can look really bad.

If you use one of the Audio playback modes, then it will keep accurate time.
