When you say full raster frame size is that default in Prores ? I take it you've never heard of the strange lines effect i've been having ? - Anyway, the reason, I was using the Prores codec to export was in an effort to resolve an annoying problem. I had these strange horizontby gmc205 - Café LA Re: Prores Changes Colour - 13 years agoHi, The color change issue was helped a little by installing Quicktime 7.6 and going into the preferences, and checking "Enable Final Cut Studio Color Compatability" . Using this setup, the colors are closer to the edit, but still have a slightly red/ orange tint which is a bit annoying. Anyway, the reason, I was using the Prores codec to export was in an effort to resolve an annby gmc205 - Café LA Re: Prores Changes Colour - 13 years agoHi, just a Quick one D-Mac, Do i need to uninstall Quicktime player X, or is it ok to install 7.6 alongside it ? Also, I would like to go the whole pro-res route but I was in a rush and wasnt sure of the exact workflow. It takes up a lot of hard drive space though, right ? Thanks, Gavinby gmc205 - Café LA Re: Prores Changes Colour - 13 years agoThanks for all your advice guys, I appreciate your time. I'll download Quicktime 7.6. Cheersby gmc205 - Café LA Prores Changes Colour - 13 years agoHi guys, I was following Ken Stone's guide for HD timeline to SD dvd - and I found that when I exported my sequence using the Prores Codec, that it changed the colour of my sequence, adding a reddish hue/ saturation to it. On my search round the web there seems to be quite a few people with this issue, but is there any fix for it ? Thanks, Gavin (I am on a Macbook Pro, FCP 6.0.by gmc205 - Café LA Re: HDV footage should be edited in ProRes timeline for DVD? - 15 years agoHi, just a few questions about the old ProRes - My system is pretty old - a G5, dual 1.8Ghz processors, 3Gb ram, OSX 10.4.11. Is this up to scratch for ProRes ? (Cant check right now coz Compressor's on the go !) I read on Creative Cow that its a good idea to reduce your playback quality to medium and then you get 'Quarter ProRes' and it still looks good but it's less processor intensive.by gmc205 - Café LA Re: quicktime video hosting - 15 years agoYeah, I did the whole vimeo HD thing, expoted my (Z1 shot footage) as per their instructions after having comformed my pal 25 fps footage to 24fps via Cinema tools ( because Vimeo is designed to convert to flash 24fps. My first effort looked great but stuttered like hell so i lowered their suggested data rate of 3000 to 2000, now my footage looked like crap and still stuttered after their flash cby gmc205 - Café LA quicktime video hosting - 15 years agoHi, does anyone know of a good quicktime video hosting service ? Ive tried Vimeo and the bottom line is I hate flash video, and I dont want to waste my time trying to create the ultimate QT movie just so their converter can make me an awful flash version of it. I just want to stream a quicktime video because quicktime is simply a much superior format. I want to export an h.264 movie from Compressby gmc205 - Café LA Re: converting 25p to 24p - 15 years agoI have tried Cinema tools to no avail. I select my clip in the browser and go to 'tools - conform 25 to 24' It come up with the error message that it cant find a clip with 25 fps to process which is just BS as every clip in my project is 25fps. I double checked every clip on the timeline from which i exported my movie and every clip was 25fps.by gmc205 - Café LA Re: converting 25p to 24p - 15 years agoAnd are the Natress film plug-ins a good addition to my system or can Cinema Tools perform all the tasks that that they can perform ? Thanksby gmc205 - Café LA Re: converting 25p to 24p - 15 years agoThanks Graeme, Ive just noticed that I can export direct from the FCP timeline as 1080p 24. Is that as good as using Cinema Tools to conform ?by gmc205 - Café LA converting 25p to 24p - 15 years agoHi, i have a movie 1080i 50 (1440x1080, 25fps) that i need to convert to 1280x720 24p (h.264) so I can upload it to Vimeo. The size change and the codec change doesnt worry me its just the whole framerate change im not sure about and compressor didnt have a preset for it although it did have a preset for XDCAM 24p. You see, i can easily output a version that is 1280x720 25p but when i upload thisby gmc205 - Café LA Re: audio mixing - 15 years agoThanks for your advice Derek, in response to your statement - "You're basically asking for the computer to do the mix for you and "make it sound right". Doesn't work that way. - That's absolutely not what Im asking the computer to do, Id have to be quite stupid to assume there is a way I can get the computer to mix my audio for me, and Id have to be extremely lazy to think liby gmc205 - Café LA audio mixing - 15 years agoHi, I want to adjust the audio mix of a scene I am working on. I want to raise the music track substantially but i want the other audio tracks (room atmos/ background TV) - to adjust exponentially in relation to the music track . Is there a way i can do this in one go rather than adjusting every track ? For example, If I raise the level of one track is there some way all the other tracks can adjuby gmc205 - Café LA Re: RENDERING HDV - 15 years agoWell thanks alot for your advice guys. I havent looked at that particular project in a while but I have updated from FCP 6.0 to 6.0.4 and I had a look at another project shot in XDCAM. I was able to play the clip back on Desktop Cinema Preview and it played back fine whereas before it played back XDCAM footage (full screen) a little choppy. So I have a feeling that updating to 6.0.4 will solve alby gmc205 - Café LA Re: RENDERING HDV - 15 years agoNo, im not invoking the wrong render command. Im going into the menu and selecting 'render selection'. Anyway, there is nothing on the timeline that needs to be rendered apart from the clips that I am selecting to be rendered.by gmc205 - Café LA Re: RENDERING HDV - 15 years agoThanks for getting back to me. Ive experimented a bit and the results are strange. I took a 5 sec clip and pasted it into a new sequence. I put the tint filter on it and rendered selection, it quoted me less than a minute to render and it took less than a minute. I got rid of the tint effect and put the Light Rays effect on it and it took about the same. I tried the same clip in my previous sequeby gmc205 - Café LA RENDERING HDV - 15 years agoEQuipment - G5 dual 1.8 GHz, 3 GBs Ram, OSX 10.4.11, boot drive - 153 GBs capacity, 26 GBs available, Final cut 6.0, footage stored on external Lacie firewire 800 (153 Gbs capacity, 22 GBs available) I have just bought this G5 recently, with the intention to edit HDV footage shot on a Z1.
