Re: Exporting Individual Clips from Timeline - 8 years ago
Thanks Nick, I just copy the clips from the timeline, paste them into a new bin and then "Share," choose which codec and it works great. Thanks for the quick reply.by Chuck Spaulding - Café LA
Exporting Individual Clips from Timeline - 8 years ago
I would like to export individual clips with filters applied from a FCP7 timeline, is that possible? I'm looking for a way to export clips that have smoothcam or other filters applied to generate individual clips for stock footage. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated. Thanksby Chuck Spaulding - Café LA
Reducing Moire in Animated Stills - 10 years ago
I threw this together for a builder I'm working with, I hadn't shot any video in the kitchen so I just used some stills. Looking at it in full res it works fine, but after encoding and uploading it as 720P the Moire is really obvious in the stills. Is there a way to prevent this? Video:by Chuck Spaulding - Café LA
FCP7 MacPro Radeon 5770 Playback Issues - 11 years ago
I had a gen1 MacPro and needed to upgrade to be able to use 64bit applications so I got a new MacPro with a Radeon 5770 outputting to a 30" 2560x1600 monitor and 10.8.2. FCP7 playback is not very good, it appears to have a lot of tears on the video as though it can't keep up with the frame rate. Has anyone else experienced this? My OLD MacPro had a Radeon 3870 and it screamed, neverby Chuck Spaulding - Café LA
Re: OT - Migrating FCP7 to a new MacPro - 11 years ago
If it were only FCP I'd probably do a fresh install, but after five or six years on the same computer I had so many little cool utilities and application that I'm not sure where I even got them from. I recently loaded FCP 7 on my MacBook Pro and it just took forever so I thought I would give this a try. So last night I started the Migration Assistant and this morning everything in my World wasby Chuck Spaulding - Café LA
OT - Migrating FCP7 to a new MacPro - 11 years ago
Can I use the Migration Assistant to copy FCP7 to my new MacPro with 10.8.2 without having to re-key or would it be better to reload from the original disks?by Chuck Spaulding - Café LA

Thanks guys, I tried ClipWarp and it worked great. I'll check out HDVoltiac. Thanks again for the help.by Chuck Spaulding - Café LA
Bringing in 1080 60P AVCHD from a Panasonic HDC-TM700 - 12 years ago
Is there are utility that will convert the AVCHD 1920 x 1080 60P footage into ProRes at the same frame rate?by Chuck Spaulding - Café LA
Re: Just lost my ability to log and transfer from my Sony HDR-CX550 - 13 years ago
I'm not sure if the Log and Transfer plugin is different for each manufacturer, I'm using it for the Canon DSLR's. For the Canon L&T Plugin there's a small "gear" drop down icon in the upper right of the clip bin, this is where you can set the source codec, target codec and custom file path. Generally if a memory card is installed the plugin points at that, but if it was changby Chuck Spaulding - Café LA

Creating SD-DVD's from HD Source - 13 years ago
I've been working exclusively in HD for the past three years and I'm dumbfounded how quickly I have forgotten how to do the most basic things in SD, or more specifically DVDStudeoPro . I've been creating Blu-ray rushes through "Share to" which also works great for the occasional SD-DVD, a producer just asked me for 10 SD-DVD copies. I copied the Audio TS and Video TS folders fromby Chuck Spaulding - Café LA
Color Presets - 13 years ago
Are there more FX Presets available than came with Color originally? I'm thinking of something like what Red Giant has done with "Magic Bullet Looks."by Chuck Spaulding - Color

Re: AJA/Blackmagic/Matrox shootout? - 14 years ago
I have use all the products mentioned and for me Matrox has been a pleasant surprise. I have the MXO2, MXO2-Mini and the CompressHD card and they all work really well. I'm not sure how they compare on price but when I purchased them they were significantly less expensive than Aja. And with the MXO2 you can "calibrate" a Plasma/LCD to bars. Depending on what your doing that might bby Chuck Spaulding - Café LA
Re: what are the EAST SET UP Settings for the Canon D5 ? - 14 years ago
This is one of those threads where it seems to be more about the camera than FCP. Having said that here's an easy workflow for those shooting 30P (29.97) with the 7D. Download MPEG StreamClip from here: 1. Copy your clips from your memory card to a folder on your system. Think of these files as your camera negative, once you've created new ProRes files you can archive the cby Chuck Spaulding - Café LA
Re: Shared storage for 3 x FCP suites - 14 years ago
There's probably a number of editors working together where the amount of money for shared storage makes sense, I'd argue that if you had three editors working full time you can't afford to NOT to have shared storage. We have seven systems accessing shared data, first if we didn't have shared data I think the amount of redundant storage would be costly, secondly, shared storage enabled us to cby Chuck Spaulding - Café LA
Re: THE TEXT that only Big Boys can do. - 14 years ago
I have not scene all of the examples you mentioned, but remember there are dedicated character generators that do amazing things. Many of the ESPN and Fox 3D logo treatments are done with Chyron character generators. I'm amazed what can be done with them and that people are still using them.by Chuck Spaulding - Café LA
Re: (OT) My Mac Pro won't shut down. - 14 years ago
Thanks Jeff, "sudo halt" did the trick. After I entered my password it shut down without any error messages (That I know of). I have powered it on and off several times the normal way and it is working. Thanks guys.by Chuck Spaulding - Café LA
Re: (OT) My Mac Pro won't shut down. - 14 years ago
It won't shut down, if I choose Shut Down the the Apple menu it doesn't do anything. The only applications running are Finder and Firefox. I'm sure it will shut down if I just hold the power button but I'd think that's probably not the right thing to do.by Chuck Spaulding - Café LA
(OT) My Mac Pro won't shut down. - 14 years ago
Photoshop hung up yesterday, I couldn't force quite it. Now when I try shut down or restart nothing happens. I repaired permissions but that didn't help. If this were my PC this would be easy, pull the plug, knock it over and kick the crap out of it and order a new one. There its fixed. But I love my Mac is there a more humane way to help it shut down gently?by Chuck Spaulding - Café LA
Re: capture presets for HDV - 14 years ago
Un-install the 1.6 driver and then install the 1.5.1 driver and all will be good. You can find the instructions for doing this on the Matrox discussion forum (follow those instruction carefully) I'm surprised that Jeff hasn't chastised you yet for mentioning HDV on this forum. There are so many variables related to your question. If your final deliverable is SD-DVD then you don't need toby Chuck Spaulding - Café LA
Re: Blu-Ray - Matrox Compress HD - BDR-203 - 14 years ago
That's a bummer, I just received the same thing. I'll try the eSATA. Hopefully that will be faster. Have you burned a Blu-Ray?by Chuck Spaulding - Café LA
Re: Share to: - 14 years ago
I did it. I have already made an AVCHD 1080P30 disc via Share that played perfectly in a Sony Blu-ray player. What I'm finding is that there seems to be about a 10 minute limit, anything longer and it pukes, though I don't know that for sure.by Chuck Spaulding - Café LA
Blu-Ray - Matrox Compress HD - BDR-203 - 14 years ago
As you can see this is a three part query: I need to burn Blu-ray disk, I have had some success using Share directly from FCP to create AVCHD DVD's that work with Blu-ray players. I'd be very interested in others experiences with this. I'd also like to hear from anyone using the Matrox Compress HD card and how you burn to Blu-ray. And finally is anyone using the Pioneer BDR-203? Anyby Chuck Spaulding - Café LA
Re: Share to: - 14 years ago
It does suppot Blu-Ray with Share or for clarification it definitely supports creating an AVCHD DVD that will play 1920x1080P30 in a Blu-Ray player. I'm also pretty sure you can create a disk image of and HD file that can be burned to a Blu-Ray burner if you have one. I'm taking FCP at its word when it keeps giving me a Quicktime error. Has anyone else been getting Quicktime errors whenby Chuck Spaulding - Café LA
Re: Share to Blu-ray - 14 years ago
I have posted an issue regarding creating an AVCHD disk using the superdrive (red laser). I had no problem burning a 6 minute project but haven't had any luck creating anything longer either. I was hoping to use these as check disks before burning real Blu-rays. I keep getting a quicktime error. Have you tried creating a disk image (exporting from) Compressor? Also is this a recent devby Chuck Spaulding - Café LA
Re: Share to: - 14 years ago
The first project that I exported via share was a 30P project. Its seems unlikely that they wouldn't support it? But hey since Apple doesn't support Blu-ray I suppose its not out of the realm of possibility.by Chuck Spaulding - Café LA
