Re: Serious aliasing in Standard Def DVD created from XDCAM - 15 years ago
I'm still on FCS2. I find that I get beautiful DVDs from XDCAMEX files using standard "Best for 90 min" compression settings - when the file is short. When I tried an hour long file compressor put in a pulsing, intermittent, compression artifact thing in 2 or 3 sections of the video. It lasted for 1 or 2 minutes, and just pulsed like 2 times a second for a minute. All the footage was taby Chadfish - Compressor - Media Compression and Conversion
Re: Lightwave 3D exports acting Strange in FCP - 17 years ago
Thanks man. I have used image sequences before. But what does one need to do to export QT NTSC Video out od lightwave? Does anyone know what may be causing the problem? I'd like to get a consistent workflow going with my 3D guy. Chadby Chadfish - Café LA
Lightwave 3D exports acting Strange in FCP - 17 years ago
Hi there! I'm not a Lightwave user. I do video in Final Cut Pro Studio 2. I work at an ad agency with a 3D guy who gives me some .mov & .avi files to put in with my video projects. We have been having a problem both he and I can not wrap out little minds around and I am hoping someone here can help. The current problem: He has given me a batch of 4 second station IDs with a cool 3D seqby Chadfish - Café LA
Re: What format 8.5gig DVD for large projects? - 17 years ago
OK WHen my client sends out the DVD to get duplicated (anyone jump in here please) do they have a preference for +R or -R Discs? It seems my client is having trouble playing my +R DVD on his work PC, an older make. It plays fine on my PC, and my Mac. He needs to play it to tell me if he wants any changes. He will be doing 100-200 copies, probably "duplicated" not "replicated&by Chadfish - DVD Studio Pro
Re: What format 8.5gig DVD for large projects? - 17 years ago
As it turned out, I tried it again with a different compression setting, and it worked with one of my "Double" layer discs. Also strangely I didn't have the target set on the PLAY button, but it worked when I tested it in my DVD player!!! So I thought it was fine. When the client couldn't play it I looked at the project again and noticed the target was not set. Don't ask me how it playeby Chadfish - DVD Studio Pro
Re: What format 8.5gig DVD for large projects? - 17 years ago
Another question: When doing a build/format on a double layer DVD should I set the layer to "Dual"? There is no "Double" setting. Thanks again Chadby Chadfish - DVD Studio Pro
What format 8.5gig DVD for large projects? - 17 years ago
Hi I have a client with an almost 3 hour seminar I just edited. I am authoring in DVD Studio Pro. I don't want to compress the footage too much, so I'd like to burn it on to a larger DVD. ? I bought some Memorex "Double Layer DVD=R DL Double capacity Single Sided" DVDs. It seemed to work in one of my DVD players at home, but not the other, and it does not work in any of myby Chadfish - DVD Studio Pro

Re: Export File Segment Size - 2Gig Limit? - 17 years ago
Can you give me specifics of how to do those processes please? Thanks Chadby Chadfish - Café LA
Re: Export File Segment Size - 2Gig Limit? - 17 years ago
Hey Ben I did try the "DV NTSC 48" setting under "Quick time Movie" method of making a file from the timeline, and it does the same thing. I get 2 gig files. I don't think it's a hard drive formatting thing, as I am able to make large files during capture. I have my capture/export limit set to 4300mb. It's the same setting for both capture and export, so I am confused whby Chadfish - Café LA

Re: Export File Segment Size - 2Gig Limit? - 17 years ago
Hi Guys I am working with SD footage from Mini DV tapes. I'll try exporting without using "Current Settings" later and see what I get. I'm busy trying to fix a client's cluster f*&$ of a project at the moment. Never let a client capture and start editing his own project! It's a drag to untangle the mess...

Hi Derek I'm not familiar with the "Pennsylvania Polka". ? The same thing happens on different drive, and different projects. ? Uncompressed QT File: Yes ? Using QT Conversion: No ????????? Will this Polka you speak of help me????????? Chadby Chadfish - Café LA
Re: Export File Segment Size - 2Gig Limit? - 17 years ago
Hey Derek, Ben My (External) Hare Drive is formatted Mac OS Extended. Also I have set my export file size Limit to 4300mb, so I can make DVDs later. I have been using "Make Quicktime Movie" with no luck, but my work around is export using Quicktime Conversion, with DV/NTSC settings. Does that sound normal? Shouldn't exporting uncompressed QT movies have the same limits as when usby Chadfish - Café LA
Export File Segment Size - 2Gig Limit? - 17 years ago
Hi In my system settings, under "Scratch Disc", I have my "Limit Capture/Export File Segment Size To:" set to 4300MB. While capturing my files are made to be that size. My problem is when I'm exporting Uncompressed Quicktime Movies. They are coming out in 2gig chunks. This makes no sense to me as I have set the size to larger. I have the newest Mac Pro running OS 10.4by Chadfish - Café LA
Re: Burn a DVD with oversized assets? - 17 years ago
My project was 2 hours 40 min, but 10 min doesn't account for 1.2 gig file size difference. ???? It is lame that they don't have some sort of "Optimize" or "Fit to Disc" command to keep things simple and make sure you don't over compress - to get the most resolution on a 4.7 gig disc. Sure I can think for myself and do it, but why? I didn't pay 1,300.00 bucks for this suiteby Chadfish - DVD Studio Pro

Re: Burn a DVD with oversized assets? - 17 years ago
"There is no setting to force 6+ GB of .m2v files into a 4.3 GB DVD-5 disc. If your encoded final movie is 6.9 GB in size then your only answer is to author a Dual Layer 8.5 GB disc." Actually that's not true. Last night I found the way to di it within DVD Studio Pro, and it worked beautifully!

Burn a DVD with oversized assets? - 17 years ago
Hi This is probably covered on the forum, but I don't know what search terms to use to find it. I have a 2hr 40 min uncompressed quicktime file that comes in at 6.9 gigs. I have a DVD project all ready to burn. I just can't remember where the setting is that allows me to fit the project to a standard 4.7gig disc. I've done it before, but it's been a while.

FCP Audio: Master FX Section - 17 years ago
Hi I love FCP and have been using it since version 4. One think I hate about FCP though is the audio section. Short of exporting to Sountrack pro foe major mastering FCP would bennifet from one simple addition: A master Effects section. ? It would allow a user to place a limiter / ultramaximiser at the end of the audio chain without making a seperate sequence. ? It would save time for simpleby Chadfish - Café LA
