Click HERE to register now border filter - 14 years agoHi all - it's been a while since I haven't been here and I feel bad because I only come when I have an issue :-) - (kind of my believe in god, I only believe when I have a problem ) anyway =- I am doing a chroma key project and I want to put a border around the subject after I key it. the border filter that FCP comes with draws a border around the whole frame instead of around the keyed objecby Arod - Café LA Re: FCP won't export 24 minute QT - 15 years agoIt will not export a 24 minute movie - it shows that it's exporting, but when the export ends the size of the file is not correct (1 GB only) and when I try to ope it in QT a message comes up that says: incompatible fileby Arod - Café LA FCP won't export 24 minute QT - 15 years agoHi - here's a crazy problem I am having with FCP I am trying to export a quicktime movie from FCP and it just will not do 24 minutes. It will do 15 minutes, it will do 30 minutes, but it just won't do 20 or 24 minutes (length of my Timeline) It will do quicktime conversion though, but that takes too long I have: (and still not working) All latest updates trashed prefs made a new projectby Arod - Café LA Re: crash when exporting FLV - 15 years agoYes, you can export FLV right from the timeline. Just go to file/export/quicktime conversion click on the format list and you should see a Flash option. If you don't see I think you can get the option by installing the flash plug in for QuickTime. (make sure you quit FCP before installing the plug in)by Arod - Café LA Re: crash when exporting FLV - 15 years agoI waited to see if it was working and the export works fine, but the progress bar is not registering.by Arod - Café LA crash when exporting FLV - 15 years agoHi - I am trying to do a simple file/export/quicktime convertion/FLV(flash) the weird thing is that in FCP the export progress bar does not show any progress, but as I observe the file (at the destination) FCP is exporting because the size of the file is getting bigger what tha....????? weirddddd..... any ideas?by Arod - Café LA Re: fixing echo - big room - 15 years agook, what about fixing a slightly over modulated audio feed that came from the audio board.

This never happened before and it only does it on a brand new MacPro. It has all the updates and FCP was installed fresh about one week ago. Any ideas?

Quicktime and FCP are the same latest versions on allby Arod - Café LA capture now delays - 15 years agoHi - sometimes when I hit "capture now" it starts capturing right away, some other times it take about 5 to 8 seconds to start capturing. I've noticed this since the last FCP update - This happens with all my 4 systems - it's not a big deal, but why does it do it randomly? kind of annoyingby Arod - Café LA audio in QT no audio in FCP - 15 years agoHi - I have an .mpg clip that plays fine (audio and video) on quicktime, but when I import it to FCP it doesn't have audio. I tried exporting it out of quicktime, as a DV file to see if that would help, but the audio part is grayed out on the export box....has anyone experienced this before? help pleaseby Arod - Café LA Re: media 100".HAL" file import to final cut can it be done? - 15 years ago"I miss media 100... " "that was one helluva stable, does what its supposed to, no bs, NLE. it didnt do much, but what it did, it did WELL! " I don't miss all the limitations that it had :-) I have to admit, back the it was the shiznit :-Dby Arod - Café LA Re: dvx200 vs 200A - 15 years agoYES everyone, I meant HVX200 vs HVX200A My argument is that, when shooting with the two, I really don't see a difference. Maybe less grain, in low light, but even that isn't that much different than the HVX200 Again: this thread has nothing to do with the DVX100 - this is all about the 200 and 200Aby Arod - Café LA dvx200 vs 200A - 15 years agook so I created an FCP project and shot footage with the Panasonic DVX200 and then shot the same exact footage (lighting, composition etc etc) with the 200A -- NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL. I think the 200 and 200A are the same camera. Of course it's marketing genius to do this. I really don't think we're getting anything better with the 200A - Unless I see white papers with specific things.by Arod - Café LA Re: scrambled screen - 15 years agook, didn't really fix it....I don't see the scrambled screen anymore, now I get dropped frames, audio glitches and my ntsc monitor goes black for a second then comes back. I am about to do a clean install os OSX and FCP S2 - Even though I just updated to OSX.5 about 5 months ago....(not a clean install, but an update install) - is there a big difference between the clean install and the updatby Arod - Café LA Re: scrambled screen - 15 years agoOK - here is the fix - I changed the camera (using as deck for last 3 years without issues) that was connected to the G5 to the front FireWire port and that seem to have fixed it. how can I test a FW port to see if it's bad? what could have caused this? thanksby Arod - Café LA Re: OT Another Which camera post? - 15 years agoHi - does anyone know if the Panasonic HVX200A has Automatic audio controls? thanksby Arod - Café LA Re: scrambled screen - 15 years agook this is what I have macHD: capacity 250GB 57Free ExternlDriv1 750 171 ExternlDriv2 720 230 I had a third drive that was 250GB and only 37GB free, but the problem persists.

When I am printing to tape, the first 40 minutes or so are fine, then suddenly the NTSC monitor gets all pixelated and scrambled. You can still hear the audio.
