I will be shooting in SD 16:9, and a second camera, a Panasonic Lumix G7, will also provide me footage for the same project. Last time I used footage from this camera, I had a hard time rendering, but also didn't try to import from the camera's card, just files sent to me. How do I import the HD files so they will render proby Fahrquad - Café LA Two questions - z-axis and uninstall FCP 7 - 9 years agoI edit on FCP 7.0.3, using a MacBook Pro, 13-inch, mid-2010, OSX 10.7.5, 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo, 8gbRAM. My client wants me to edit some shots into the z-axis and I have no idea how to do it. It must be very simple, but I've never needed to do this before. Also - my FCP was loaded from my boss's install disc and I've now purchased my own. How do I uninstall FCP and Compressor, so when I reinstall everby Fahrquad - Café LA Re: General Error on Render - 10 years agoBS"D Thank you Vance! It was indeed a file whose format was not readable by FCP. Once I converted the file it rendered! Thanks again.by Fahrquad - Café LA General Error on Render - 10 years agoI'm working on a Macbook Pro, OSX 10.7.5, Core 2 Duo, 4gb Memory, running FCP 7. I tried to render a timeline and I repeatedly get a "General Error" message. Rebooting didn't help. Trash Preferences might help? If so, how do I trash preferences in FCP 7? If not, any ideas of what's going on?by Fahrquad - Café LA transferring files to ugh Premiere - 12 years agoWorking normally on an iMac, FCP 5. Horrible task - I have to edit on a client's premiere, and brought my clips with me on a disk-on-key. Premiere won't permit me to import my clips. Anybody got any ideas about how to continue - converting files or something? TIAby Fahrquad - Café LA Re: AGP graphics card - 15 years agoBS"D FYI - Went into a Mac forum and the warning about the AGP graphics card is bogus - my version of FCP wasn't working together with the new system. I upgraded to FCP 5 and it's gone, and I'm able to edit again.by Fahrquad - Café LA AGP graphics card - 15 years agoBS"D I just bought a used 20" iMac, 2.16 Intel Core 2 Duo, OSX 10.4.11, FCP 4.5. When I try to open my FCP, the computer tells me I need an AGP graphics card. Which card is best for the computer?by Fahrquad - Café LA Re: On capture Video sticks! - 16 years agoBS"D It's definitely the Quick Time 7.3, which began my problems in November. I now capture everything in clips of only 4 minutes in length. I'm running FCP 4.5 with OSX 10.4.11 on an eMac, 1ghz, 512mb Ram. Does anyone know if I can undo the QT 7.3 and get myself back to normal "capture" life again?by Fahrquad - Café LA Re: Capturing Issues - 16 years agoBS"D It's the Quick Time upgrade. You're the third person I've read about (counting me, the fourth) who's posted here about capturing problems. Something in the 7.3 won't let you capture more than 4-5 minutes at a time. I'm still looking for a way to get rid of it and go back to the reliable 7.0? Anybody know how?by Fahrquad - Café LA Re: Downgrading quicktime... - 16 years agoBS"D Okay, so does anyone know how to get rid of QT 7.3? My capture freezes are just a nightmare! I'm working on an eMac, G4 1ghzPower PC processor, OSX 10.3.9, 512mb Ram, FCP 4.5. Not the most up-to-date, yet it worked great until QT 7.3!!! TIA.by Fahrquad - Café LA Re: Capturing Limited 2 Approx. 5mins - 16 years agoBS"D Here's the link - But...it won't remove 7.3. I'm also stuck capturing 4:59 clips, which is especially frustrating when I have an hour worth of video to capture. Anybody know how I can get rid of Quick Time 7.3?by Fahrquad - Café LA Re: Capturing Limited 2 Approx. 5mins - 16 years agoBS"D Same exact thing happened to me about 2 months ago, right after I updated to Quick Time 7.3. Unfortunately, updating to 7.3.1 doesn't fix it. Are you using 10.4, or are you still on 10.3.9 like me? If so, someone sent me the instructions to get back to an earlier version of Quick Time. I'll post the link once I search for it.by Fahrquad - Café LA Re: Video freezes on capture after 5 minutes - 16 years agoSo - what exactly does "install the machine again" mean?by Fahrquad - Café LA Re: Video freezes on capture after 5 minutes - 16 years agoIs there a way to go back further than 7.2? I'm on OSX 10.3.9, if that makes a difference.by Fahrquad - Café LA Re: Video freezes on capture after 5 minutes - 16 years agoThanks for the suggestion about digitizing a tape that used to work, but no, that didn't solve the problem. Since I installed QT 7.3 only a few days before this happened, and this is the first time I needed a clip longer than 5 minutes, I hope it's the QT. How do I rid my computer of this version, and, hopefully, this problem, and go back to the last QT, which was 7.2? I will, however, need sby Fahrquad - Café LA Re: Video freezes on capture after 5 minutes - 16 years agoKoz, everything is the same. Same camcorder as last week, same hard drive, same cables, running on AC, same place. Jason, I've been using the WD hard drive since July with no problems - and I tried capturing to my Mac HD just to see if it was the hard drive and it also froze at 5 minutes. Could it possibly be the Quick Time update I installed on Nov. 6, according to my software update log?by Fahrquad - Café LA Re: Video freezes on capture after 5 minutes - 16 years agoI've got 130 gig left on my 320 gig drive, and 21 gig left on my 60 gig drive; formats on hard disks haven't changed and I've been capturing since July with the external hard drive (and system drive for small jobs) with no problems. Software update - I'm not sure - is Quick Time 7.3.0 the latest update? - since that's what I'm running. I'm not running any antivirus programs in the computer, butby Fahrquad - Café LA Video freezes on capture after 5 minutes - 16 years agoBS"D I'm working on an eMac, 1GHz G4, 512mb RAM, OSX 10.3.9, FCP 4.5. I've been using this for the last 2 years or so with no capture problems, until today. Suddenly, the video freezes on capture after the clip becomes 5 minutes long. The audio continues, I get the SBBOD, and then have to force quit. I trashed prefs, repaired permissions - it occurs whether recording to a 320 gig Westeby Fahrquad - Café LA |
