Caldigit VR is a good one. I have one at home, and two at work.by Shane Ross - Café LA
Re: Reverse Telecine Cinema Tools vs Compressor - 11 years ago
Cinema Tools will simply copy the data from one file to the new one, removing the redundant frames. Compressor will remove the frames, but recompress the footage. Cinema Tools is the better choice.by Shane Ross - Café LA
Re: Anyone used Avid Artist Series MC Transport with FCP? - 11 years ago
Hmmmm use the MC Artist Color with COLOR...love it, works great. I don't have the transport though.by Shane Ross - Café LA
Re: Crazy shift from FCP to Color - 11 years ago
DELL monitor? COMPUTER monitor? Even with an MXO2, a computer display doesn't have the right panel/electronics to play back a proper video signal. COmputer signal, yes, video...no.by Shane Ross - Color
Re: AVCHD CODEC into fcp Need to be small files - 11 years ago
If your client wants to use FCP, then they need to live with the larger file sizes. ProRes LT and Proxy are still larger than AVCHD. If they want native, they need to look at other editing apps. If they are using another editing app and you only have FCP...you might need to look at getting other apps that can do what the client needs.by Shane Ross - Café LA

5 hours to cut? You won't have any time to convert anything...by Shane Ross - Café LA
Re: Avid vs FCP Codec AVC Intra 100 - 11 years ago
The file you have is a Quicktime file from the Avid...and it is in the AVCINTRA codec? AVCIntra is not AVCCAM...AVCCAM is AVCHD. AVCIntra is a P2 format. Download the Avid codecs from:by Shane Ross - Café LA

Instability is the biggest issue people report.by Shane Ross - Café LA
Re: Upgrading to Lion - 11 years ago
People on other forums (Creative Cow) report many issues. If you can help it...don't upgrade.by Shane Ross - Café LA
Re: Best Transcription software - 11 years ago
Nope. Adobe tried, but it was 60% accurate at best. Nothing better than manually transcribing, or hiring someone to.by Shane Ross - Café LA
Re: P2cam vs 5D 24 fps question - 11 years ago
You don't have ProRes files...you have DVCPRO HD files...as you just said. "The P2--> Prores converted files in FCP are 1280x1080, DVCPRO HD, 1080i60, 14.1 MB/Sec, 4 mono," Take THOSE files...and use Compressor to change the frame rate, and convert to ProRes at the same time. Change the dimensions to 1920x1080 as well. Do a test on a small clip, or mark IN and OUT in Compressorby Shane Ross - Café LA
Re: Duhhh. - 11 years ago
Then it is DVCPRO HD. There are two flavors of P2...DVCPRO HD and AVCINTRA. Only AVCINTRA can be converted to ProRes. You set the L&T preferences to import AVCINTRA as ProRes...but, the P2 files you got are DVCPRO HD. They will work fine on the timeline. But, if you want to convert the frame rate, you can convert to ProRes at the same time.by Shane Ross - Café LA
Re: P2cam vs 5D 24 fps question - 11 years ago
Wait...AVCIntra should be full raster 1920x1080. Unless it was shot 50mb/s instead of 100mb/s. Then it would be 1440x1080. Only DVCPRO HD is 1280x1080. That is odd. It shouldn't matter. Make a full raster ProRes sequence using the 5D files, and then add the Intra. it will stretch to fit. And you convert the IMPORTED files. Compressor doesn't work with the MXF file format.by Shane Ross - Café LA
Duhhh. - 11 years ago
AVCINTRA P2! I'm stuck on P2 being DVCPRO HD. Yes, Intra comes in as ProRes. Duhhhhhhhh. And you might have some spanning files that when imported, combine into one clip. P2 has a 4GB file size limit, so one shot might be broken into multiple parts. Now...yes, you convert the frame rate with Compressor. Using ProRes again.by Shane Ross - Café LA
Re: P2cam vs 5D 24 fps question - 11 years ago
How did you convert the DVCPRO HD via Compressor? How did you convert? If you did via Compressor, you should convert the frame rate at the same time, to avoid re-compressing twice.by Shane Ross - Café LA
Re: P2cam vs 5D 24 fps question - 11 years ago
To import P2 footage into FCP, you need to use Log and Transfer...like I lay out in this tutorial: You need to do the same workflow with the Canon 5D footage. The H.264 format it records, while you can import that directly, FCP doesn't like it that much and editing can get sluggish. Also note, that P2 footage comes in as DVCPRO HD, not ProRes. And there is no need to convert...just eby Shane Ross - Café LA
Re: F BOMB - 11 years ago
Hee I like that. Sounds better than the Randy Disher Experience. I think the Los Angeles Creative Professional User Group is a good one...by Shane Ross - Café LA
F BOMB - 11 years ago
The Badges at the SF Supermeet had the letter F on a bomb. Because the name has changed. No longer is it the FINAL CUT PRO USER GROUP...now it is the CREATIVE PRO USER GROUP. As it encompasses more than one application. So now I guess it is the LACPUG...by Shane Ross - Café LA

3/4" Umatic tape to tape systems. Then Video Toaster (which was painful). Then Adobe Premiere...then finally Avid. Eventually FCP...by Shane Ross - Café LA
Re: Insert Editing AUDIO ONLY to HDCAM SR from FCP - 11 years ago
You have to disable the INSERT VIDEO in the EDIT TO TAPE interface. Not in FCP, but in the EDIT TO TAPE interface. Only have the audio tracks you want to insert highlighted.by Shane Ross - Café LA
Re: Had to use clients camera ,need help with Final Cut settings - 11 years ago
Did you post this on Apple Forums too? Convert to ProRes. Use Log and Transfer to do this.by Shane Ross - Café LA
Re: Choice of editing monitor - 11 years ago
Loren, the MXO is OLD. OLD OLD OLD OLD OLD. NO longer made nor sold. It did turn a computer display into a great color grading monitor. But, no more. And they are not, as far as I know, making another one. Even if I did know, I couldn't comment. But, I don't know about that.by Shane Ross - Café LA
Re: Choice of editing monitor - 11 years ago
That'll get you an HDTV...as you know. Not sure how many people use that for accurate color correction. Anything that low end anyway.by Shane Ross - Café LA
Re: What TV shows are being shot on what equipment? - 11 years ago
Modern Family is shot on video because it is a Psuedo-doc. It is supposed to be like there are video cameras taping the family, documenting their life. Note how not only are there sit down interviews, but occasionally the characters will look at the camera in a knowing way. Like, "can you believe what just happened?" Just like THE OFFICE. Also a pseudo-doc, therefore shot on videby Shane Ross - Café LA
Re: OT: joining the union - 11 years ago
Only the Union can tell you. But I can say that from experience, Promo and commercial work doesn't count. A friend of mine needed to get into the Union to get credit for editing a feature. He's been in the post business for 20 years, cutting music videos and commercials, and 95% of what he cut didn't count. Get the word from them though...by Shane Ross - Café LA

Re: End of FCP?? - 11 years ago
Ahhh....well that would be newsworthy. he does high end broadcast and film work, and thinks FCX will still work for him? That's bold.by Shane Ross - Café LA
Re: Frame Rate Help! - 11 years ago
You can use Compressor, but it will take a while. Stupid camera ops...production people. Shooting multiple rates without consideration about what it does for post. That's just inexperience or sheer stupidity. (BTW, Avid MC5.5 and MC6 mix frame rates rather well.)by Shane Ross - Café LA
