Insert Editing AUDIO ONLY to HDCAM SR from FCP - 12 years ago
Hello all, I have to insert edit audio tracks only, and keep current picture, onto an HDCAM SR tape. Surprisingly, I can't find anything solid about this with a Google search. Using FCP 7. (obviously) Kona 3 So far I've tested by enabling the specific tracks in audio insert options on the deck, and disabling the video track in FCP. I get still black picture, over existing picture, onby plbhl - Café LA

Re: 10 things you might not know about fcpx (last night's notes 2011-11) - 12 years ago
Shane, didn't mean to imply that DVCPRO HD was never used to shoot professionally produced projects, and I respect the legacy of the format. My point is that in my current environment, HD formats moving through Firewire are not relevant to the FCP X discussion. So while it may be technically inaccurate to classify DVCPRO HD as prosumer, next to 10 bit 4:4:4 400mbps RGB true 16x9 HDCAM SRby plbhl - Café LA - X

The video is very helpful, thanks. The negative reaction to X has to be broken into two groups: Group One: Those who don't like the changes within the editing environment of FCP. I'm basically with Evan on this, all of the old functionality is there, and there's some very cool innovations and improvements. I don't see this as any less a pro user experience, and it's much more complexby plbhl - Café LA - X
Re: 10 things you might not know about fcpx (last night's notes 2011-11) - 12 years ago
"yes fcpx will import tape from a firewire device choose File > Import from Camera HDV, DV, DVCAM, DVCPRO, DVCPRO 50, & DVCPRO HD yes, these are pro workflow" Victor, These are mainly prosumer formats, and ingesting from tape itself is quickly disappearing from the pro world. Shooting is mostly file based to hard disc. The tape issue is more about "output"by plbhl - Café LA - X
Re: FCP X dead for Professionals?,, FCP X cuts my editing time by 25% - 12 years ago
"I think the haters out there are not taking the time to learn and use this software....it's not for everyone.....but in reality it is." Aron, if you are acknowledging up front that you do not work in what's considered a pro environment, how can you make the above quoted statement? I think it's more accurate to say that users in your world are upset that the pro users are beinby plbhl - Café LA - X
Re: FCP X dead for Professionals? - 12 years ago
All due respect Michael, this sounds apologetic. Apple has to be the one to embrace these issues, I don't want to rely on third parties for creative work-arounds regarding basic functionality. Apple alone has the responsibility of defining the timing of "these will come eventually", or telling us straight up that it will have to be up to third parties.

Re: FCP X dead for Professionals? - 12 years ago
Michael, the push-back on pro users, about not wanting to adapt to changes, is not addressing the real concerns. Apple has REMOVED the following: XML, EDL, OMF, compatibility with AJA cards, professional monitoring and tape decks, dual monitor for application use. Without XML, EDL, OMF, AJA for monitors and decks, I can't use FCP in a feature film environment, period. Add in NO disby plbhl - Café LA - X
Re: FCPX Feature Wish List - 12 years ago
In addition to the LONG list of edit functionality features well covered here, I would need complete restoration of XML, EDL, OMF, output to AJA cards, dual monitors and professional decks. I would also like to see development of tools for stereo, and RED Epic native editing support. It seems Apple should move forward with two different products, X for the new market they are pushing toward, aby plbhl - Café LA - X
Re: How to get file with Alpha into ProRes422 timeline? - 13 years ago
for motion graphics with quick and dirty built in alpha I use the Animation codec. But the results will vary depending on the complexity of the graphic. Sometimes there's no way around using motion mattes that match the graphic. You would need to make a black and white version of the exact file with white representing everything you want to see and black representing whats invisible. You put theby plbhl - Café LA
Re: Removing Cineframe 24 from 60i - 15 years ago
Lucas, just curious, are you working with HDV (mpeg2/gop) in your sequence? I have had great results capturing HDV to prores, much better for editing and color correction. If you captured in HDV, I would still recompress with media manager to prores (I didn't use HQ but test HQ option for yourself) just for the ease of editing and absolutely for color correction.

Re: Removing Cineframe 24 from 60i-additional Info - 16 years ago
here's something interesting from Adam Wilt: Cutting to the chase: CF24 cherry-picks fields from the camera's 60i video stream to simulate the juddery motion of 24p. However, the motion is worse (more uneven, more syncopated) than true 24p imagery, and it cannot be reverse-telecined to get smooth 24fps imagery. CF24 is fine as a special effect if you're staying on video at 60i, but it's not suby plbhl - Café LA
Re: Removing Cineframe 24 from 60i - 16 years ago
Thanks Jeff, will try Compressor for sure. What I mean by Kona ProRes is in the fcp media manager recompress drop down there is an option called Kona ProRes 422, which definitely looks tighter than the ProRes 422 codec it was captured in, (which came up as HDV ProRes in my capture settings) (Kona ProRes is not available in the capture settings, just media manager). I understand that Proby plbhl - Café LA
Removing Cineframe 24 from 60i - 16 years ago
Editing a feature in fcp 6.0.4 that was shot with the Sony HVR Z1 in 60i to tape, 1080 hdv. Captured with Prores (reg, not hq). The footage has motion that behaves like pulldown was added, so I believe the camera was in Cineframe 24 mode. I'm seeing extreme interlacing on frames 3 & 4. When I use media manager to transcode to the "Kona" version of Prores, the extreme interby plbhl - Café LA
Data Base Question - 17 years ago
Hello, using FCP 5.1.4 Mac g5 Quad. Can FCP generate a data base of all media in a projects capture scratch folder(s) that IS NOT in the projects file hierarchy? Thanks, Paul Buhlby plbhl - Café LA
FCP Data Base Question - 17 years ago
I have a very large project with hundreds of media captures, FCP 5.1.4. Some of the reference clips in FCP we're accidently deleted, but the media is still on the drive. I would like to get the missing clips back into the project without importing all of the media in the Capture Scratch folders. Can FCP generate a list of all media in the project Capture Scratch folders that does not have a rby plbhl - Café LA
Re: Down Converting "Captured" Media? - 17 years ago
Shane, works like a charm! I recompressed to DVCPro50 and knocked the files down by 75%. No quality issues, maybe SLIGHTLY more noise to a trained eye. Thanks!!by plbhl - Café LA
Down Converting "Captured" Media? - 17 years ago
I'm working on a feature length HD doc. The media was captured from SD beta SP down converts for the offline stage. However, the capturing was done with FCP's 10 bit Uncompressed 4:2:2 codec which means I have media running at around 224 mbps which should have been captured at no more than 50 mbps (and that's generous for beta SP). I have 2TB for storage and I'm running out. I would like toby plbhl - Café LA
Re: Capturing from a component DVD player? - 17 years ago

Capturing from a component DVD player? - 17 years ago
I am using a Kona AJA fibre channel card. I need to capture some footage from a DVD player that has component out. I get audio, but no video. I'm using BNC to RCA adapters to go out of the DVD player. I know the cables and card inputs are good, just captured from a Beta deck and all works there. Is there somethng different about the component signal from a DVD player? Tried various capture seby plbhl - Café LA
Deleting Media Captures from the Bin architechture? - 17 years ago
Hello, I am wondering if I can simultaneously delete the actual captured media when I delete the reference clip from a bin. With Avid, a dialogue box comes up to ask if you want to delete the associated media or just the reference clip, but I haven't found that option with FCP.
