Click HERE to register now Re: DC30 codec/Miro card for Protools - 17 years agoHi, I've got that configuration in one of my rigs, and it works just fine, so perhaps the data rate of the video you are trying to play is too high for the drive the video is on, or the codec is not friendly to the rig, for some reason. The original MIRO driver was a proprietary codec, a motion jpeg A of some sort, and worked very well with PT using the 320x240 size at 29.97fps- it would pby tc - Café LA Re: Lacie vs The World.

Or a restaurant host/ess: "Koz, party of seventeen, Koz!" tcby tc - Café LA Re: Concrete Floors and high ceilings! Help! (OT, a bit) - 17 years agoHi: Here's a few suggestions: Cheap drapes from IKEA have helped my bay a surprising amount. Full bookshelves on the wall behind you work very well as diffusors. Hang some fiberglass or foam panels at varying angles from the ceiling- for vibe, one might do abstract paintings on the visible side. In general, I'm not a fan of Auralex, etcetera. Large overstuffed furniture helps, too.

"general error 39"...help! - 17 years agoHi: Since it's letting you export sections, you might try making a few, smaller self-contained QT's- say 10 to 20 minutes in length each- and re-assemble the whole show in a new sequence- think of it as assembling AB reels like an old-school feature film. I like to do this when I have the luxury. It gives me the illusion I actually have something physical finished.

I'd say that you should monitor the Mbox. The Mbox has a fair amount of latency, so you'll need to turn the "mix" knob on the front panel fully counter clockwise while your recording to hear the source with no echo.

If you are running picture out the firewire port to a broadcast monitor, then yes. Sync will be an issue. Audio must follow video to maintain sync for certain. If you are not running an external video monitor, and will view picture only on the Mac's monitor, then yes, yoby tc - Café LA Re: Audio Dropout - 17 years agoHi: If Kevin's suggestion doesn't do it (it should!), then: Do the dropouts occur in the timeline, the viewer, or both? Do they occur in exactly the same location upon every playback? How are you monitoring your picture and sound playback? When you say "various" do you mean multiple occurrences, or different kinds? Tell us about your computer, too. Good luck! tcby tc - Café LA Re: Export audio with marker- the long version - 17 years agoHi: Here's a simple way: Name and export each file with its time code start number from your timeline. Very good for doing small numbers of files.* I don't think there's another way to export an .aiff file with a metadata marker that will travel to PT. SDII files- definitely, and Broadcast Wave files- I think so. .Aiff files, I don't think so. Maybe someone else on the board knows a way to dby tc - Café LA Re: Pro Tools and Final Cut Express HD Problems - 17 years agoHi: What jusrus said about plug-ins should be correct. Just leave the PT RTAS and TDM plug-ins installed, and you're gold. You should capture using the DV codec in FCE and use the resulting file directly in PT, as mentioned above. If you're having trouble capturing with the Canopus, a good work around is copying the VHS directly into a consumer dv camera, then capture digitally from the cam viby tc - Café LA Re: FCP Surround Sound - 17 years agoKoz: > Most Cool.

Simple answer! Yes and no. PT LE does not support OMF media natively, however, with the optional DV Toolkit or the stand alone Digitranslator, you can convert the edit files and media into a PT friendly format.

That's quite a lot. That's more than just drift. It'd sound like the Exorcist or something. If your drift is only around 2 frames a minute and you can't detect much (if any) pitch change in the audio, it's likely a pull up/pull down setting issue. I'd look at the export and import settings very carefully, then maybe trashby tc - Café LA Re: Streamclip Unavailable??? - 18 years agoHowzabout this? 55 bucks, no waiting... tcby tc - Café LA OT- Re: PAL to NTSC conversion from DVD AVI files - 18 years agoGraeme: > After that, yes, Nattress your brains out.

What Wayne says, but additionally, there are different mic's for different things for very good reasons, as I'm sure you know.
