Audio linked but unconnected from video in timeline - 13 years ago
What is going on? They will not move together on the timeline. Yes, the video and audio clip icons do have the underline "link" on. And I've unlinked and linked a number of times already to try to get them to link. This started in FCP on my last project - not sure why. Did I transfer the clips from the P2 cards with wrong settings? FCP 6.0 Editing 720 24pn material (on a HD 9by Logan6 - Café LA
Re: Multi Cam feed - 14 years ago
Hey. We don't need it to record. Just push it back out as one DV signal say. So har would those 9 streams come into the Mac? Through ethernet (an IP) ? thank you everyone.by Logan6 - Café LA
Multi Cam feed - 14 years ago
Can FCP 6.0 take nine multi-camera feeds? How? through firewire? IP Network? - We will have nine live camera feeds (probably standard definition 640x480) - We will need to switch between each individual full screen feed to all nine feeds displayed at once like a tic-tac-doe board. Hollywood Squares style. - Also, can someone recommend decent cameras for this type of application? One chipby Logan6 - Café LA
quick replace of floating jpgs - 14 years ago
FCP V6. G5. I have a sequence with several pictures floating across the screen. I got one sequence all set and I need to make 9 more (same animation paths but with new pictures). Is there a way to quickly drop in/replace them with new pictures - like a drop zone - so FCP can automatically pick up my existing animation keyframes? How is this done? They are all jpgs , and they are all on tby Logan6 - Café LA
jerkiness - 14 years ago
Hi. I'm flying a camera around an object (a 2d picture) and I'm using the "point to behavior". So the camera starts a 45 degree angle to the object and then moves around to directly in front of the object (say 0 degree angle) . Or another way to put it: the camera starts at about 4:30 on the clock and ends at 6:00 on the clock all while pointing into the center of the clock face.by Logan6 - Motion
Re: 2D star into 3D? - 14 years ago
hmmm. sort of but not really. If you drag that emitter into 3D space then rotate the camera around that element so your looking at it's side - it is flat. That emitter (like the star i mentioned before) are both 2D elements. The do not have any depth to them. Any other suggestions out there? thanks.by Logan6 - Motion
2D star into 3D? - 14 years ago
Hi, I am trying to create the illusion of traveling past stars and I'm currently dragging the premade "star" from the list of generators in the Library onto the stage (nice round orange dot with epsilon). It all loooks good and all except when I rotate the camera on the side of the stars then they look flat. Is there a way to extrude these elements or should I be importing a 3D shby Logan6 - Motion
Re: P2 media - audio out of sync issue. - 14 years ago
Correction: If I watch the clip in the Viewer my time code jumps two frames twice and then three frames. And it goes from 0-60 frames. In the timeline I can step 1 timecode frame at a time up to 24 frames. I also have the Timecode Reader filter on.by Logan6 - Café LA
P2 media - audio out of sync issue. - 14 years ago
I am having a audio sync issue which I see only on my exported movies. It becomes more apparent as the playhead gets further into that long 12 minute clip that was on the timeline. (I start noticing it around 6-7 minutes and it gets progressively worse.) I do not notice this while working in FCP either in the clip or on the timeline. Only after I have exported the movie. I've tried a number oby Logan6 - Café LA
Re: Export to DVCpro and BetaSP - 15 years ago
I don't know. And where do I see that "Always render in RGB or Cr,Yb, Cb thing. Should I be rendering in Cr, Yb, Cb and outputting interlaced 60i (for those TV folk)? Sorry I'm a novice when it comes to prepping for broadcast. oh. and does it matter if I tape using my older GL1? or should I use a newer progressive camera like a DVX or HVX? thanks again.by Logan6 - Café LA
Re: Export to DVCpro and BetaSP - 15 years ago
Can I not just export (a self-contained DV-NTSC quicktime movie) right out of my DVCPRO50 timeline? Then just open that and output to tape? thanks!by Logan6 - Café LA
Export to DVCpro and BetaSP - 15 years ago
My source material is DVCPro50 in 30p. What's the best way to render this movie out of my DVCPro50 timeline and transfer this material to a Mini DV tape? My record deck is my camera. Does it matter which camera I use (all have 1394).. A old Gl1, DVX100 and an HVX200. (Post house to take MiniDV and dump to BetaSP, DVCPro tapes, etc.) Thanks. FCP 6. Dual G5.by Logan6 - Café LA
Re: Time Code problems - 15 years ago
Exporting to a file - (Quicktime movie using H.264). Dual 2.3 G5. FCP V 6.0 . However, I don't think it's an exporting issue as I can see the problem when I use the SLIP EDIT tool. When I use the SLIP tool (click down) it divides my Canvas into two screens... right? The in point screen (the one on the left) does not match the in point of that same clip on the timeline. It is off anywhereby Logan6 - Café LA
Time Code problems - 15 years ago
I'm editing a project from several SD footage clips imported from MiniDV. One of my "reels" will not work correctly once exported out - the exporting process seems to shift the in and out points about 3 seconds backwards. However, it looks and works fine in the timeline/canvas. Any suggestions? thanks ALSO: When I use the SLIP EDIT tool - it shows me the actual in and out fraby Logan6 - Café LA
Re: Help - Strange Final Render Size - 15 years ago
There will never be an out to tape - my final destination is the computer screen. And 654x333 is not the DV aspect ratio - So how can I export that size from DV NTSC when I'm done without squshing it? And you are saying never turn on 'show as square pixels' ? thanksby Logan6 - Café LA
Help - Strange Final Render Size - 15 years ago
So my client needs a final movie at 654x333 for viewing on the web. I shot the footage on the DVX as regular ole DV 720x480 on MiniDV. Can someone tell me how to set up my sequence? When I set the sequence to 654x333 - I then need to render every clip everytime i drag it to the timeline - so i don't want to do that. For now I'm keeping the DV timeline (at 720x480) as square pixels and adding sby Logan6 - Café LA
Re: easy chapter markers to DVD SP - 15 years ago
Say I export > quicktime movie "with all markers." Say I want to watch that clip on another computer. So I included markers on this export and I don't see them when I open that final movie up? It does not work. Nice that the pulldown option is there. any help appreciated.by Logan6 - Café LA
easy chapter markers to DVD SP - 15 years ago
Hi. I have a 4 hours of footage that I would like to show to a client on a DVD (or two). Each tape (1 hour) was transfered from tape to FCP 5. And then in FCP I went through, reviewed the footage and added chapter markers. What is a quick way (with minimal encoding time) to get my footage to a DVD with the chapter markers? Do I need to export (with chapter markers) from FCP and then have DVby Logan6 - Café LA
Re: VHS - 16 years ago
So to sum it up. It sounds like that the best signal out of a standard VHS tape is to use a TBC standard VHS deck. Second in line would be a standard VHS deck. Then an S-VHS. Yes, I unerstand the benifits of the S video connection. but i guess in this case with Standard VHS. Ole Composite is the way (only way) to go if using Standard VHS machines. The Sony unit I have is a SVO160. It has BNby Logan6 - Café LA
VHS - 16 years ago
ok. So what is the best way to get the best signal out of a standard VHS tape? An Industrial VHS player with composite out (which I have an older 4 head beige 1990 Sony)? Or is an S-VHS player the way to go (with an S video signal out)? Thanks.by Logan6 - Café LA
Re: HD DV in ? - 16 years ago
thanks for the input. However, this doesn't help as I am using both of my DVI outs on my G5 for LCD computer monitors. Right, I like to look at TV color space not computer. I'm just rying to eliminate the GL1 passthrough camera. I need a Firewire 1394 input (DV in) on the new flat panel HD TV. How is everyone else hooking up their NTSC monitor on a basic FCP editing workstation?by Logan6 - Café LA
Re: HVX-200 and FCP and output and web - 16 years ago
Thanks, this is a good question - some clarification would be good. I'm pretty sure that if you want to view on an SD system then , yes, you will need to drop that HD clip in a DV sequene, thereby reducing the scale somewhat, and then you'll end up with black bars on top and bottom. Maybe i'm wrong, maybe zee experts will chime in?by Logan6 - Café LA
HD DV in ? - 16 years ago
Does anyone know of flat screens with a DV in? (preferrably around 20"? I currently have my FCP workstation hooked up to an older GL1 through 1394 and then from there using a S video cable out to an NTSC monitor. It would be nice if the monitor just had DV in (1394 firewire in). Does anyone have any suggestions? make? model? thank you.by Logan6 - Café LA

difference matting - 16 years ago
Hello. I would like to place a white circle (created on a psd layer and imported) onto another white circle (psd layer imported) in FCP and have a new negative space created in the shape of the smaller circle. In other words, it would be the same effect as applying the "difference" setting on a layer as seen in Photoshop except in this case I would use two video tracks in FCP. Like Sby Logan6 - Café LA
Re: rendering a DVD mpeg movie - 16 years ago
What does Compressor do? If I drop a exported quicktime movie from FCP into iDVD for example (skipping Compressor) - does not iDVD encode all of the video? Also when you export the movie from FCP just use current settings with DV compression?by Logan6 - Café LA
YUV or RGB for DVD - 16 years ago
Hi. I'm making a DVD for playback on Standard Def TV. Should I set my sequence to RGB or YUV rendering? Also what compression scheme should I export my final movie as? thanks!by Logan6 - Café LA
Re: Inconsistent Blurries - 16 years ago
Yup. External monitor connected. I think it's rendered coreectly - Sequence rendering is at 100% Full, 100% frame rate. No colored bars appear in the timeline. My main confusion comes over the inconsistancy. Most of the time it's just fine - just once in a while this occurs - then If I just move the clip to the beginning of the sequence its all fine? or paste it in a new sequence? This makes noby Logan6 - Café LA
Inconsistent Blurries - 16 years ago
I have some FCP created type over a frozen video image - or sometimes an imported TIF. The image is super blurry in pause and in payback. sometimes worse in pause and better in playback but still bad. By chance, I then moved the entire work area in question to the beginning of the timeline and everything suddenly LOOKS GREAT and sharp! Also if we created a new sequence, copied and pasted the proby Logan6 - Café LA
