- 15 years agoi had one. it worked fine. but i was already so used to the workflow of a mouse that i just couldnt get used to it. i sold it to a buddy of mine and he loves it.by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: Display for Working with HD - 15 years agonot really sure what youre asking. if youre talking about computer monitors - pretty much ANY modern retail monitor will work for FCP in HD. if youre talking about "monitoring" your end product on a 1:1 pixel ratio then yes, youre talking a whole other set of rules. there are only a few monitors that will display the full HD pixel res. two of the most popular being the apple 23 anby wayne granzin - Café LA 3 frames out of sync at my place - all's fine elsewhere - 15 years agohere is an odd situation. i shot a live event saturday (one 94min take using adobe on location) when i get it back to the studio it appears out of sync when previewed in the finder and was 3 frames out of sync in FCP. so i unlinked and synced - alls well. so i deliver the drive to the client (another production studio) and explain to them the issue. but when they played it back on their Fby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: other timeline anomalies... - 15 years agoas in my earlier post. those are key combos i rarely if ever use. freaky is say - just freaky!by wayne granzin - Café LA other timeline anomalies... - 15 years agook, so i set an outpoint on my timeline: 01:00:30:00 then i do work on that timeline. all the while never changing that outpoint... why is it that at some point that outpoint just disappears?by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: FX Plug Effects fail to render on MacBook Pro 15" - 15 years agowow - i wonder if the 17 would have the same issue?by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: Sony HVR Z5 vs HVR Z7 Which one should I buy? - 15 years agothe way i see it, with all these cameras that shoot to solid state media - if you cant roll the cost of the media into your projects, you probably dont really NEED the camera in the first place. the time i save with not having to capture in real time pays for a P2 card in 1 or 2 uses. this is a fuzzy analogy, but i look at P2 the same way i look at hiring a drywall contractor. is it more exby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: view > image+wireframe mystery keystroke - 15 years agoyeah derek its happened with both my old school and new apple low pro keyboards. and i very rarely or ever use command w in fcp. i might be hitting it accidentally when shooting for an a, s or q? but considering the un-selectable problem, im leaning anomaly...by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: view > image+wireframe mystery keystroke - 15 years agothanks tom! - yeah, i cant quite figure that second part either... i cant imagine myself hitting the W key accidentally. wonder if whatever anomaly is triggering the toggle is also jacking with the "click-ability" of the canvas???by wayne granzin - Café LA view > image+wireframe mystery keystroke - 15 years agoit seems that sporadically my view mode goes from image+wireframe back to just image for no apparent reason. whats more, when i toggle back to image+wireframe i now have to click the dead center crosshairs to move the clip, where before i could click anywhere on the selected clip... i wonder if i might be accidentally hitting some mystery keystroke by accident - as it seems to happen when imby wayne granzin - Café LA looking for a personal use "handycam-ish" camera... - 15 years agoim needing a personal-use (party, vacation, etc...) camera. like to keep price well below a grand - to the tune of if it fell off the boat you wouldnt cry. needs to be FCP friendly, HDish res. been out of the consumer cam market for YEARS and have no idea what the state of things is... suggestions?by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: Sony HVR Z5 vs HVR Z7 Which one should I buy?

- 15 years agowhat kind of stuff do you shoot and whats your budget? im another SWORN enemy of both HDV and rolling shutters.by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: Studio Design and ergonomics - 15 years agoa lot of what you'll hear from once source to the next is largely personal. the basic rules are neutral colors. soft, reflected light (torchiers, directional desk lamps bounced off walls, etc...). direct task lighting anywhere you need to read. done. as far as sound goes, the basic rules are - keep large flat directly opposed walls to a minimum. bookshelves are great, rugs are great. sporaby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: P2 Card not showing up in finder - 15 years agoyoure gonna have to put the card in the camera and connect the camera to your computer via usb/firewireby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: P2 Card not showing up in finder - 15 years agoto my knowledge, not just any express to pcmcia adapter will work. you need the "duel" branded adapter to use P2 cardsby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: Has anyone yet used Canon EOS 5D mark ii for shooting video?

- 15 years agowhoa - slow down a bit. sounds to me that youre coming at this with a lot half-baked info. first off, 32gig of ram is INSANE and unless youre doing true 3d animation or a lot of super high end after effects work - it wont even be used. i have 16gig in my macpro and for FCP its overkill, and is PLENTY for after effects. and 4 internal 1 tb drives, also kinda ill-advised. follow shanes (and mby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: adobe flash export? - 15 years agodv kitchen supposedly does a good job as well. and for its price, it does a whole ton of other stuff as well... i personally use on2 flix pro. it does a really fine job but its interface is really wonky and non intuitive.by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: Distorted audio - 15 years agoare you well versed with the noise reduction feature of soundtrackpro? its pretty decent and more or less the only thing i use it for.by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: OT - Disconnecting my FCP media drive WD MyBook - 15 years agoyeah - the two names that come up most on "drive failure" threads are WD (specifically the "mybook" line) and LaCie. anytime people post a problem here and they mention mybook or Lacie we all go "OHHHHHHHH!"by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: Distorted audio - 15 years agoahhh, so it wasnt the mic at all, i see. did you get sound from the mic that you could replace with? yeah, we've all been there a time or twoby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: Distorted audio - 15 years agojust because its a good brand mic doesnt mean its going to work in all situations. i have a sennheiser mkh 416 shotgun which is a superb mic but the sound pressure level that it will tolerate is WAY below that of a live rock show. thats why i have the vp88, its specs are WAY better suited to live music. now you mention "the audio i got from their P.A. system" were you getting a livby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: paste settings to all open sequences...?
