first t2i footage - fcp issue

I edited about 9 minutes of 720 HD from a t2i. I got several images like this video AFTER I exported it. the video plays well in the timeline





in other parts of the exported video, the image is completly green.

Thanks for your help.

did you convert the footage to an FCP friendly format first?

what format are you editing with?

more info needed!

Yeah, did you cut in the native H.264 right out of the camera? This is a fairly typical example of the problem that can cause.

===> Yes, I used Mpeg Stream

> what format are you editing with?
Sequence Settings:
1280x720 Aspect Ratio HDTV 720p (16:9)
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square
Anamorphic 16:9 check box: unchecked
Editing Timebase: 59.94

Compressor: H.264 at 100% Quality


I slow-motioned this clip (the girl on the rock) using Cinema Tools. It's now 24 fps.


Could it be this the reason?

thanks for your quick help....

Uh...you converted the H.264 that the camera shoots to...H.264? that was pointless. YOu need to convert to PRORES...that is the edit friendly codec...

I have a tutorial on this... [library.creativecow.net]

And yes, the whole reason this is messed up is you edited H.264...

I will check your link.

Thank You.

Thanks For Your Help. I think I found the problem: Digital Juice Swipes. I removed them and the footage looks good now. The Codec on the Swipe is PNG.

Shane, that's a darn rich tutorial.

Now get back to work.
