(as i recall you said you didnt need it - ha ha) was it really that big a help timewise? i tried it on my dual processor (single core - which the documentation said would also benefit) and it actually slowed down basic renders by 40+%...by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: FILTERS TAB - 18 years agosee - i knew someone would feel my pain (thanks nick) if there is going to be a feature - it needs to be implemented well - PERIOD. especially in a "pro app" i know im a broken record here - but given that im by trade a graphic designer with TOO MUCH gestalt psychology background for my own good, it really hacks me off, when a primary UI function like this in a pro app is totally ovby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: Rode NT-1 microphone - 18 years agoive been using NT2's for like 8 years now and for the money, ALL the rode products are unbeatable. the only thing better than an NT1 is an NT2, and the only thing better than an NT2 is a neumann TLM 103 and its like 300-400 dollars more... worth it? maybe, but not a night and day difference keep in mind, when i say "the only" i mean that from a vaule perspective only, you can spend $by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: Color Correction Help - 18 years agowow, your username seems to be a description of the way you shoot - I AM SOOOOOOOO just kidding with you. the best way i would suggest to fix the one guy without effecting the other guy is to lay both clips on top of each other, creating a mask on one clip (depending on whats on top of what. fathering the edges so the differenc in clips is subtlest. and the color correct they red guys clip.by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: Audio help please! - 18 years agohere i just gave it a quick going over in STPRO. didnt change the world - but its a startby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: Audio help please! - 18 years agosoundtrack pro has a noiseprint feature which is just about the most useful feature ive ever seen... keep in mind though, you are also going to reduce the quality of your desired frequency as well...by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: rogue render files... - 18 years agoagian, nope. but ill try that as well - next it happens... thanks guys!by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: FILTERS TAB - 18 years agofrom UI standpints, apple could take a few hints from adobe!by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: OT; how to copy the FCP disks properly before sending them in - 18 years agoa guy from apple posted here a few days back that you can just drag and drop copy them. id be tempted to believe that... EXCEPT. i tried to back up my panther (or was it tiger?) discs that way a while back and sadly found out later that a simple drag and drop left me with incomplete copies and useless discs. im not sure if carboncopy cloner copies install discs, but id say that would be a smaby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: Quad 2.5 GHz G5 Now, Or Wait For Intel Equivalent? - 18 years agoDH, you never told us what mac you currently have...? if your current machine is at least a dual processor g5 of some sort, a quad - though quite remarkably faster, isnt exactly going to change the world and remember, current logic doesnt show a "mactel" tower out during this calendar year. in the pro video business, thats a lot of work and a lot of money. it really depends on whaby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: FILTERS TAB - 18 years agohmmm... i dont think im fully following your point. no, im not adding filters in the browser. to my knowledge thats not even possible? from what im seeing, whenever you have the filters tab from a clip opened in the viewer, double clicking another timeline clip seems to auto switch back to the video tab...??? the easy answer is to move the viewer to my second monitor and open it to the heighby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: What is the best method for backing up a media hard drive? - 18 years agoanother vote for drag and drop - unless you are going to be updating the content on a recurring basis, retrospect is wasted effort, and as nick said - cloning is for system drives.by wayne granzin - Café LA FILTERS TAB - 18 years agook, here is a little "workflow" question. is there any way that i can have a filters tab open at all times and just have it display the filters of the selected clip? when i have a more feature rich filter open, i'll drag the tab off to my second monitor and open it the length of the monitor, so i can see more of the settings. the very annoying issue is that when another clip is openeby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: Quad 2.5 GHz G5 Now, Or Wait For Intel Equivalent? - 18 years agoGod, my last post was wrought with typo's: another thiing to think about is that IF you NEED a quad now, you can easilly make enough money in a year to buy whatever mactel box comes availiable in the next year - if you cant generate that kind of money - you didnt NEED the quad to begin with. also, you can get your quad now, BUY the UB version of fcp for $49 (be sure to copy your discs before seby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: Quad 2.5 GHz G5 Now, Or Wait For Intel Equivalent? - 18 years agothe only REAL questions are: 1. do you have work waiting right now? if the answer is yes, then buy a quad and GET BUSY WORKING. as joe says the quad will be a viable production tool for at very least 3 to 5 years. 2. does your workflow require the use of the other apps like the ones i mentioned in my earlier response? if the answer is yes, then buy a quad now, as we have no idea how long it wby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: still frame DVD - 18 years agocompressor is ONE of your problems - skip it. just export a reference movie (not recompressed, not standalone) and bring that into dvdspro. but as derek asked. what format is the original logo?

lets say i have a few (2 or more) stacked clips, various opacity ramps, filters etc. do an option-r render and everything looks great. then decide to change a thing or two and re render and suddenly there appears an old state or that older clip that no longer exists in that part of the timeline. in trying to figure out the cause i ended up moving ALL the cliby wayne granzin - Café LA nattress film "older effect" tip - 18 years agoas a new user of graemes film effect filters, i have been experimenting rather aggressively. of all the things i LOVE about them there is one thing i havent been happy with. thats the distressing stuff like scratches, dirt grain, flicker, etc... i'll begin by saying that im not really a big fan of the "fake distressing" thing in the first place as it normally just ends up looking chby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: video camera choices - 18 years agoyou know, i read that test and i dont recall them doing any motion shooting which is my BIGGEST problem with the HDV format...by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: OT: Leasing a new Mac - 18 years agoyep. ive never seen it benefit a freelancer to lease a machine.by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: video camera choices - 18 years agoNO. especially since there is not a HD DVD delivery standard yet. unless you are planning to go to film (IMO) there is NO reason to use HDV and about 20 reasons NOT TO.by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: A problem found when running a diagnostic on a media drive. - 18 years agowere you having trouble to begin with?by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: OT: Spam in the Cafe - 18 years agook, raise hands if anyone opened more than the first one?by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: Painfully Slow G5 with Final Cut Pro - 18 years agook, "generally" is the root of your problem. firewire (for whatever reason) isnt actually endorsed by apple for capture and edit in FCP - even though ive been doing it for 6+ years without a single problem. even the best of 7200 rpm firewire external drives have been known to cause FCP issues. the fact that you would even consider editing from your firestore (let alone a USB 2.0 driby wayne granzin - Café LA new forum users info - REPLYING TO POSTS - 18 years agonotice when you get emails from the forum of responses to your posts, the FIRST thing in the message reads: "This message was sent from: Café LA.
