Re: It's been six days, I'm at my wits' end... - 10 years ago
I could probably take the eSATA card out of the equation and port things to FW800 drives per project, once all this is over... I have lots of TB of active media at the moment, however... But my gut has been telling me it's the card... I don't have any .dmgs on the RAID. I keep active media on it only. I can drag some from my Drobo and do some tests later. John, thanks for confirming.

Re: It's been six days, I'm at my wits' end... - 10 years ago
That is a good alternate solution, Jude! Of course, since this is a history project, they want a full archive. Why can't stuff like this happen on one-off projects that will never see thelight of day again?? Once I've delivered, I will sit down and sort it out. You've all given me good ideas! debby debe - Café LA
Re: It's been six days, I'm at my wits' end... - 10 years ago
After I'd ruled out it likely wasn't bad RAM in the old computer, I was starting to lean towards perhaps it was the eSATA card acting up. That's when I tried the FW800 test... I was really hoping that was the answer... <sigh> Thanks for sticking in with me. I did get a new project v1 out the door without any crashes, which does help point the finger back to the other media.... although bby debe - Café LA

Crash logs are on my Dropbox for your viewing pleasure. I tried to name them with something that shows what I had done on some of the more recent ones. There are several in there. The Console log, several FCP crash reports, and one brand-new Motion one. I had Motion open on the old MBP because I was looking for the name of a font I had used that wasn't on the new MBP... when I reconnectedby debe - Café LA
Re: It's been six days, I'm at my wits' end... - 10 years ago
I powered the RAID down, removed the eSATA Express/34 card, and used media via FW800 from the external drive. Other peripherals are Wacom Intuous 3 tablet, USB external Apple Keyboard, second Apple monitor connected via the Mini-Display port & USB (from the monitor's power, Mini-Display & USB multi-cable), and external Monsoon computer speakers. On the back of the Apple monitor are a sby debe - Café LA

"> would reason dictate that it has to be media that is common to all the projects? Not definitively > If I can already render successfully in small chunks, how will I know when I've found the corrupt media? If you keep being able to export successfully piecemeal, then either there's no corrupt media, or the problem will resurface at some point when you put back in a specificby debe - Café LA
Re: It's been six days, I'm at my wits' end... - 10 years ago
It is significantly more than 10% on all drives. I just mentioned 10% because in the old days, that was a common number we tossed out there: There's 2.4 TB available on a 6 TB, 580 GB on a 2 TB, and 350 GB on a 1 TB. System drive has 316 GB available of 437. There is a Boot Camp partition of 62 GB that has 28 GB free. It turns out the CMYK photos aren't actually in my project. They were in a sby debe - Café LA
Re: It's been six days, I'm at my wits' end... - 10 years ago
One project is just over 1 TB of media. That's the PrPro one. The current FCP project is just over 244 GB. They are, strangely enough, both history projects. Both are also standard definition timelines because so much of the original media is 4x3 SD and neither was interested in the extra cost to upres. The third project I pulled out of the PrPro mothballs is 117 GB and that one was always 1920x1by debe - Café LA

Hello, All... Long time lurker, occasional poster... Some of you may remember me... I am having a nightmare of a problem that actually began weeks ago, and culminated in upgrading machines, OSs, some Apps, media drives, and almost every single file but my clients' media, and I still don't have any answers.

Re: XDCam HD Multicam out of sync - 11 years ago
Just ran the AJA Speed Test. I think you are right and the FW800 drive is choking on the footage. I got 66.5 MB/s on write and 85.2 MB/s on read in the speed test. The XDCam Transfer .mov file reads 59.31 mbits/s playing back in QT. And now that pesky "bits versus bites" is prolly making me more confused... Sigh. Any insight here or do I need to run another one of their tests?by debe - Café LA
Re: XDCam HD Multicam out of sync - 11 years ago
Thanks, Strypes!!! This client is still on MC 5.5. Does your workflow suggestion change for this version? Still, all very good info! I shall pass this along to my producer so the next time they hire someone to do an offline that they want me to finish in Avid they will hopefully start with ProRes footage instead of XDCam HD out of XDCam Transfer. Initially they thought I'd be finishing iby debe - Café LA
Re: XDCam HD Multicam out of sync - 11 years ago
I will download that and let you know. In the meanwhile, The producer has decided that we need to move forward on this, so he's having me hand-sync the timeline up in his Avid. (It's not that long or intricate of a timeline, but I do appreciate compatriot sympathy!) I was able to get a timeline out of Automatic Duck into the Avid. The Avid system doesn't see video on the master MOV filesby debe - Café LA
XDCam HD Multicam out of sync - 11 years ago
Hi, All, I've inherited a FCP 7 project. Original media is XDCam HD422 1080p30. It is a multicam project. It was a 3 camera shoot was jam-sync'd. The short version of my issue is that I am not getting consistent playback on my 2.8 GHz MacBook Pro running OS X v 10.6.8 with 4GB of RAM. I'm wondering if I have enough horsepower to play back native XDCam HD? The audio lags behind the video bby debe - Café LA

Looking for Sony XDCam Transfer software version 2.9 - 11 years ago
Does anyone have a valid link to XDCam Transfer software version 2.9? I am hoping to possibly crowd-source a solution to this problem. Technically, it's an Avid problem, but according to Avid Support, the solution is actually in the form of older Sony software that FCP editors may have in their arsenals. Tiny bit of back story: I'm a freelance editor working on a client's Avid. Apparently sby debe - Café LA

Re: AVC-Intra on FCP 6.0.6 Question - 12 years ago
Do you know problem joining spanned clips and not copying the lastclip.txt file in P2CMS creates? I know I've had spanned clips when I just get drag-n-dropped copies of P2 media and have never had any issues with the spanned clips. Just wondering what that caveat may be, as I've never seen it before. Thanks again!! debe (sorry for the edits...my fingers got ahead of my brain...)by debe - Café LA
Re: AVC-Intra on FCP 6.0.6 Question - 12 years ago
Say, Strypes... Any chance you have a copy of P2CMS handy and could tell me where the setting is to change it from making separate P2 folders for each clip? Then I can know what I'm talking about when I talk to the cameraman. Or at least sound like I know what I'm talking about! I think the separate folders might make things difficult for my producer who wants to use the proxy files to do tby debe - Café LA

Re: AVC-Intra on FCP 6.0.6 Question - 12 years ago
Ethan, YOU ARE A GENIUS!! I never thought to shift-click... That works! Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you! However, that doesn't solve my problem of the empty folders that I have to hand-sift out first. They are easy enough to spot if I search by size...but still... I wonder if using ShotPut is still a better option? Opinions? debby debe - Café LA
Re: AVC-Intra on FCP 6.0.6 Question - 12 years ago
Gah! So it's not me! I've shared this with my producer. If there is a workaround that someone else knows, that's swell and I'd love to hear it! Otherwise, I will recommend that he either just drags-n-drops to the transfer hard dive in the future. Hopefully he will be open to buying ShotPut. If I have to hand-navigate to these 64 folders this time, I will. Or maybe he hasn't had to wipe tby debe - Café LA
