Re: Sync Drives in Two Different Locations? - 11 years ago
Backing up personal files...like what Drobo offers, or Carbonite.com...is simple because those are small personal files. VIDEO files? Those are big...GBs. Not really doable via the web.by Shane Ross - Café LA
Re: Sync Drives in Two Different Locations? - 11 years ago
>" I need to be able to have the location drive update automatically when I add sound effects and other things so I can seamlessly move from one setup to the other with the current project." Now how would it do that? It can't. If you clone a drive and move it off location...anything you add to the local drive will also need to be sent to the other one. i.e. you'll have to FTP tby Shane Ross - Café LA
Re: 10 things you might not know about fcpx (last night's notes 2011-11) - 11 years ago
Mastering...no. Origination format...SHOOTING format...yes. There are still a LOT of DVCPRO HD tape cameras out in the field...shooting. And more than a few P2 cameras shooting DVCPRO HD. I still see that format in my area of production. And it doesn't matter if it is NO LONGER the dominant HD format...there was a time it was. And it was used on major high end productions. So it isn't &qby Shane Ross - Café LA - X
Re: 10 things you might not know about fcpx (last night's notes 2011-11) - 11 years ago
DVCPRO HD isn't Prosumer. It was the main format used in the BBC series PLANET EARTH, and the standard professional HD format for many many many years. And it is still considered a professional format by many cable networks like Discovery, History and NatGeo. But HDV is not. They specifically say to NOT use HDV.by Shane Ross - Café LA - X
Re: Upgrading old version of FCP to new Macbook Pro - 11 years ago
Sorry, FCP 4.0 will never work on your new machine. It simply will not work on Intel computers. FCP 5.1 was the first to be able to do that. You either need to keep using the old software on the older machine, or get the newer software for the newer machine. And if you want to work on your OLDER projects with newer software, FCP 7 (Final Cut Studio 3...Studio 2009...) is your best bet. FCX,by Shane Ross - Café LA

Re: End of FCP?? - 11 years ago
Well...in 4-5 years, you'll have a bunch of people pointing and laughing at you...like we do to people who use FCP 4.0.1 and Matrox RTMAC...or FCP 3 on a G3.by Shane Ross - Café LA
Re: p2 footage audio drop-out after 18 seconds - 11 years ago
Back up the cards...so you have the full card structure. Turn off the REMOVE PULLDOWN option in the L&T Preferences (strypes mentioned this), and then import. That is an error that comes up when you remove pulldown on footage that wasn't meant to have it removed.by Shane Ross - Café LA

Re: 2 questions about Avid AMA - 11 years ago
If you capture HDV or XDCAM into FCP...you are capturing into a codec that ONLY works with FCP. Is only viewable if you have FCP. They are tied to FCP. You can only AMA them into Avid if FCP is also installed on the same machine. And you only work with Avid codecs if you transcode to Avid codecs. If you AMA and plan on working native (not the best plan with most footage...best to convert),by Shane Ross - Avid Media Composer
Re: 10 things you might not know about fcpx (last night's notes 2011-11) - 11 years ago
No one questioned FCX's ability to capture from FIREWIRE tape sources. Although I will grant that a few people didn't know about that. No, what we are all up in arms about is the inabillity to capture other professional tape formats: BetaSP, Digibeta, HDCAM, HDCAM SR, BetaSX, D5. All the stuff we could do with FCP 7 and a capture card.by Shane Ross - Café LA - X
Re: Multiclip Edit sputters out on 3 angles - 11 years ago
There is no way that a firewire drive, even firewire 800, can handle three streams of ProRes footage. You need a 2-drive eSATA external...at least.by Shane Ross - Café LA
Re: Need help on FCP 7 color correcting overexposed film! - 11 years ago
If it is REALLY over exposed, there isn't much you can do. The detail isn't there to recover. You can try this plugin, the CAPT'S BLOWOUT FIXER. It's free. But really, if it is very over exposed by a lot, there isn't much that can be done. I'm sure a seasoned colorist might have a few tricks they can employ. But being able to way what they are in a forum? Tough...by Shane Ross - Café LA

Re: FCP 7.03 issues with Log and Transfer with 5D footage - 11 years ago
Well, one might have the NEW Canon EOS Log and Transfer plugin, that doesn't require the full file structure, while the other has the OLDER Canon EOS plugin, that does require the full card structure. make sure the one that isn't working has the latest plugin.by Shane Ross - Café LA
Re: Trouble uploading footage - 11 years ago
Make sure you are updated to at least 5.0.3. And then choose the HDV 1080i60 Easy Setup, and make the Device Control to Generic HDV. But this is the first version to support HDV, and Canon HDv has always been problematic with FCP...so no guarantees.by Shane Ross - Café LA
Re: Adusting 24f in FCP 7....Framerate conversion HELP - 11 years ago
Wait, you say the frame rate of the footage is 29.97. The REC RATE is 24f...that typically means that it is 24p at 29.97. Is the footage really 23.98, or 29.97?by Shane Ross - Café LA
Re: What TV shows are being shot on what equipment? - 11 years ago
What TV shows? There are THOUSANDS of TV shows. From LAW & ORDER (film) to CASTLE (film) to COURGARTOWN (Red) to THE CLOSER (film) to PSYCH (film)...to reality shows like SURVIVOR to THE AMAZING RACE...down to documentaries and cooking shows and the Khardasians and talk shows and all that.

Re: Just curious about Avid/Adobe switchers and color correction. - 11 years ago
I am in the middle of color correcting four Avid shows. I export a ProRes file from Avid MC, and an EDL, and import that EDL and file into Color...and Color chops up the file. I color correct like I have been for 2 years...then render out, export to FCP (that is just an intermediary tool now). Export a ProRes HQ file. AMA back into AVID MC, then Transcode to DNxHD 220x, and drop in the titles.by Shane Ross - Avid Media Composer
Re: How to remove Apple raid card and utility from G5 dual cuad? - 11 years ago
Take it to an Apple Service Provider. The Apple Raid Card must be installed, and removed by Apple approved techs. Or you violate your warranty. If it is out of warranty...well... Find someone who does it.by Shane Ross - Café LA

TIPS ON UPGRADING TO "LION" SAFELY - 11 years ago
So Apple came out with this shiny new operating system with a really cool name...LION. And you are thinking to yourself, "Hey, I'd like to install that new OS on my computer." OK, I can dig that. But there are a few things you should do FIRST, before you install. Especially if you use this computer to edit with Final Cut Pro...and depend on that machine to earn your keep.

Re: 24p - 11 years ago
Well, it will make it look more film like than 29.97. But changing the sequence is not what to do. Export the final, and convert that. But does your client require a 23.98, or 29.97 master? Do you want the 24p look but not the 23.98 frame rate? You can also use the nattress.com plugin FILM EFFECTS to get it to look 24p. Free demo. Just changing the sequence setting won't cut it.by Shane Ross - Café LA
