Re: Compressor Deinterlace Blues - 9 years ago
Thank, Nick. I've tried the quick fix on Quicktime before but from what I remember, when you save it, it changes the file from mpg4 to mov and I want to keep the file as the original mpg4. I haven't tried the Final Cut filter cause from research I've done people say it's not that good. I think changing the field dominance to "none" which is what I was going to do, is the same asby A.Bejar - Café LA
Compressor Deinterlace Blues - 9 years ago
I have an older project I'm trying to convert for Vimeo VOD. It's on FC6 and it's SD. I used Compressor to make an MP4 file, about 10gbs, and it worked. However, I did not deinterlace so it doesn't look good. I've tried to make a new file checking Compressor's deinterlace box in Frame Controls and it has crashed a few times after about 24 to 36 hours of running. Then, I tried using Quicktime Coby A.Bejar - Café LA
Correction - 13 years ago
OK, I'm having a personal thread here but thought I'd share. Ignore the previous post. The sync is holding up when I convert to H264, 1220 x 720, which is my what I'm going to use to on YouTube. It goes out of sync when I make a self-contained QT movie from the full HD ProRes timeline. So, problem solved, sort of, since I don't need the self contained file for now. alfby A.Bejar - Café LA
SOLUTION TO OUT OF SYNC SOUND! - 13 years ago
I found a post on Creative Cow where someone had the same problem. They removed some extra audio clips they had at the beginning of the timeline and the problem was solved. As a test, I removed I removed clips I used for sound editing, room tone, etc., and kept only the direct sound. Alas, no sync problem. Don't know what the specific cause is but very interesting.

Out of sync sound when exporting FCP 5d footage - 13 years ago
Hello, I'm trying to export a short video profile shot on a Canon 5D mark II. The picture was shot at 30 fps on the Canon. I recorded separate audio on a Zoom HN4 and Tascam recorder and synched it up manually. Works fine on the timeline (29.97). The client needs a QT file for uploading to YouTube. I've done a straight -self-contained- QT conversion and it goes out of sync. I've done a test oby A.Bejar - Café LA
Re: Converting ProRes to DVDVCPro - 13 years ago
We'll probably stay at 29.97 and not to 24p. The original footage includes 16mm and mini-DV. I did not retransfer from 16mm because the negatives were lost. So, Beta SP is all we have for the 16mm. I only became involved with this project a couple of weeks ago. So I will offline with the DV/DVCPro I converted. When finished editing, I'll bring it into a FCP 7 system, reconnect to the originby A.Bejar - Café LA
Re: Converting ProRes to DVDVCPro - 13 years ago
Thanks, Derek. Why do I need to go back to the ProRes files? Can't I just stay on the new converted DV/DVCPro files for the rest of the workflow? Alfby A.Bejar - Café LA
Converting ProRes to DVDVCPro - 13 years ago
Hello, I've been dealing with a problem for a couple of days and want to double check if my solution is ok. I've been hired to re-edit a short film from 10 years ago from footage on BetaSP (transferred from 16mm and mini-dv). Unfortunatly, I'm still working on FCP 5.

FCP 5 can't read HDV files - 14 years ago
Hello, I'm doing a instructional health video for the web and just got some files from my camera person.We shot with a Sony Z7. She captured the files onto FCP 6 and gave me QT files that are 1440 x 1080, HDV 1080p30. I'm using FCP 5.0.4. When I try to open the files I get the audio but no picture. I've tried different sequence settings. I notice there is no setting for 1080p30 on my FCP 5.by A.Bejar - Café LA

Big Sequence Question - 14 years ago
Hello All, I'm pushing my old(der) system to the limit with a large master SD- 29.97 sequence for a long documentary (105 mins). To color correct, I split it up into five separate sequences by copying and pasting all the clips from the main video track. I used 3-way color corrector, sometimes desaturate and gausian blur. These tracks include original SD video, large archival tiff files,by A.Bejar - Café LA
Re: DVCAM Squeezed - 15 years ago
When I click on the DV NTSC 48Khz in the capture setting it shows its set to 720 x 480, NTSC (3:2) aspect ratio, with anamorphic not checked. When I capture, the anamorphic box is checked on the browser settings and I have to uncheck it. I read the 16:9 segment on strypes link. I know now it's not an anamorphic "signal" but again, the image is squezed on the dvcam deck BEFORE being caby A.Bejar - Café LA
Re: DVCAM Squeezed - 15 years ago
Hi Guys, OK, unchecking anamorphic does the trick, but I still cant' figure out why it's capturing as anamorphic to begin with. Capture and sequence settings are set to dv-ntsc, 48 khz, , device is firewire NTSC, Video Playback Apple Firewiere 720 x 480. When I digitize FCP is apparently seeing the signal as anamorphic when the tape house says its regular 4;3 NTSC. It plays that way on theiby A.Bejar - Café LA

DVCAM Squeezed - 15 years ago
I just transfered some older films and videos from Beta SP and 3/4 SP (remember those?) to DVCAM at a production house in NYC. When I play them back on a Sony DSR 25 to capture, they looked squeezed, like 16:9, on the LCD monitors on the deck and my editing station after capture but not squeezed on an NTSC CRT monitor.

Re: Changing Tiff to QT in Timeline - 15 years ago

Changing Tiff to QT in Timeline - 15 years ago
Hello All, I have searched the database but now found and answer to what I think is an easy question. I need to convert large tiff image files on the timeline of a long doc project to QT codecs to lighten up the load. I've converted them using Save As QT Movie but notice on the Get Info pop up they are still listed as Tiff codecs. Same thing happens when exporting to DV/DVCPro. What is the proby A.Bejar - Café LA
Compare edit lists software - 15 years ago
I need to give my sound editor an update of changes to the edit on a feature length doc. He says there is software for Avid to compare lists and tell him where the changes are. Is there software for FC that does the same thing? I have FCP 5. I've searched the database and can't find any posts on this topic. Thanks, alfby A.Bejar - Café LA

Re: Converting 93.93 to 93.97 fps - 17 years ago
You are right. There is no 93.97. I meant to post 29.93 and 29.97 fps. Seems I had a bout of dyslexia. My apologies for the confusion. alfby A.Bejar - Café LA
Re: Converting 93.93 to 93.97 fps - 17 years ago
I can now see the files. It seems the problem was not with the capture since no matter how many times I captured, with deck and camera, the same consistet problem occurred. I then deleted the imported files. I restarted the computer and re-imported the files. Still not sure what happened. Hopefully it's just a bug in FCP.
