Re: Anyone remember Cinema Tools? - 4 years ago
Hey Ben, Edit ready worked for me using the Re-wrap option, it created a new file at the desired frame rate almost instantaneously. I'm not familiar with batch conform in Resolve, are you saying it can do what I'm looking for without the need to spend a bunch of time exporting new files?by Joe Riggs - Café LA
Re: Anyone remember Cinema Tools? - 4 years ago
Didn't think of edit ready, good one Andrew. Not sure it can do what I want without have to export new files but I'll give it a shot.by Joe Riggs - Café LA
Re: Anyone remember Cinema Tools? - 4 years ago
Thanks Ben, I'm in Resolve but I'm not looking to conform in the timeline for this particular project. I need new files on the drive at different framerates then what it was recorded at (again they can be sped up or slowed down to compensate), so Post can just use the files at the "corrected" frame rate and I'd prefer to not have to re export them. Therefore, a solution like cinemby Joe Riggs - Café LA
Anyone remember Cinema Tools? - 4 years ago
I'm looking for a program that convert (convert may not be the term) frame rates without the need to spend oodles of time exporting new files. For example 29.97fps to 23.976fps or vice versa and it slows or speeds up the file to compensate. Cinema tools use to due this with ease, bring your files in, change the frame rate and presto you have your files in that frame rate. Is there a similby Joe Riggs - Café LA
What is the last OSX update that works with FCP 7? - 6 years ago
I'm still on 10.11.6, I might need to update here soon, so I was wondering what the last OSX version that works with FCP7? Thanksby Joe Riggs - Café LA

Re: Post Production and Low Rates - 7 years ago
And one day I hope to join that union but for those of us freelancing or are on indie projects not backed by a mid to top tier production company, what are ways to convince clients who are amenable that post is a worthwhile expense (obviously some clients will never see the value)?by Joe Riggs - Café LA
Post Production and Low Rates - 7 years ago
Why is it that post production jobs usually get the short end of the stick? Certainly all jobs are subject to low ballers but the offers I see on the typical online sites for post production are downright criminal. A production is usually more willing to spend dough on a DP, camera, lights, etc...(and I love a gorgeous looking film) However, a argument could be made that if a production'by Joe Riggs - Café LA
Multicam sync method - Strypes? - 8 years ago
Hi Strypes, When using the multicam sync method to batch sync a bunch of takes, does the match frame feature act a little off? When I match frame my resulting synced multicam clips, select the section I want, then bring to the timeline, I get the sunk clip as well as the disabled/muted original audio. Instead of getting it in the neat and tidy multicam clip without the original auby Joe Riggs - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Project Manager CC 2015 - Trim? - 8 years ago
I'm working with quicktime Pro Res media. In CS6, and in there if you wanted to "Trim" a project, it was a simple selection of that option. However, in CC 2015, I don't see a trim option, I see consolidate and transcode. All I want to do is archive a project to just the video used in the timeline. But is this my only option to do so, it requires to transcode my already transcodedby Joe Riggs - Adobe Premiere Pro CC

Re: OS X El Capitan, what's the verdict? - 8 years ago
Stinks about cinema tools, other than that FCP7 seems to be working fine under 10.11.5. However, CS6 and editing R3Ds no longer worksby Joe Riggs - Café LA
OS X El Capitan, what's the verdict? - 9 years ago
Hello, I'm still on 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion), and was wondering if upgrading to El Capitan was worth it? By worth it, I mean are you noticing any speed improvements as Apple claims? Also want to make sure it's still compatible with legacy versions of Premiere (CS6) and Final Cut 7, as I still use those frequently.by Joe Riggs - Café LA

Thunderbolt no longer works - 9 years ago
My Thunderbolt stopped working out of the blue. I believe it is a hardware issue as I've tried various thunderbolt devices and cables and none work. Furthermore. Within the system info – I get “Thunderbolt: No hardware was found.” I tired resetting the pram and smc but none help. Could a fresh install of the OS help?by Joe Riggs - Café LA
Re: Mac Media player that allows 3x and greater smooth playback - 9 years ago
It was actually mp4 files, on a thunderbolt drive, I just decided to live it and stick to 2x speed.by Joe Riggs - Café LA
Mac Media player that allows 3x and greater smooth playback - 9 years ago
Is there a media player for MAC (other than Quicktime and VLC) that allows you to watch a program at 3X or greater speed smoothly (I know audio is going to sound like chipmunks but that's ok)? QT and VLC will skip frames when you go that fast, I'm hoping to find a player where I can see all the frames smoothly just at a much faster rate.by Joe Riggs - Café LA

PR4444 requires render? - 9 years ago
I received a PR4444 export from Resolve (on a mac based computer) and naturally I was expecting that I would be able to just pop into FCP7 and not have any render bar. Unfortunately, I end up with a green render bar, even if I let FCP7 choose the sequence settings based on the clip. This is adding hours of time to my renders (long file) and I can't figure out how not to get a green bar. Theby Joe Riggs - Café LA
Re: Exporting Pro Res in Log mode? - 9 years ago
Well, no one really answered my question on that site, if I can export a log version from FCP7, they offered thier .02 cents on if it was worth it or not. So I'm still curious if it is possible to do so from FCP7 timeline? To clarify I'm working with files with the color baked in (so no lut), it is possible to export a flatter version of it? i'm guessing no.by Joe Riggs - Café LA

Import error on a Pro Res 422 .MOV - 9 years ago
Batch transcoded RED footage in Red Cine to Pro Res 422 (1080p, 23.976). When finished, one clip, and only one clip out of the bunch, would not import into FCP7. The file gave me "Import error". I found this very strange, as Pro Res is what FCP7 likes the best. I tired the following: Transcoding the same clip from the R3d again - import error.

Re: Film workflow, retrieving orginal sound file names? - 9 years ago
Interesting, wasn't aware of some of PE pitfalls. Quotei believe that both FCPX and Premiere now have the ability to sync via waveform. Not very well, unfortunately.by Joe Riggs - Café LA
Re: Film workflow, retrieving orginal sound file names? - 9 years ago
Looking forward to giving sync n link a go at some point. Their tutorial video, could use an update, looks like it's from the 80s. Obviously Sync n Link has more features but what are your thoughts on Pluraleyes?by Joe Riggs - Café LA
Re: Film workflow, retrieving orginal sound file names? - 9 years ago
Thanks Nick, worked like a charm. The audio files actually had the correct name at the start but when I merged the clips they took on the video file name. If there's a way to retain the audio file names but still merge/link the clips (without having to rename the video file) and bring them into the browser (for organizational purposes) I'd like to know.by Joe Riggs - Café LA
Film workflow, retrieving orginal sound file names? - 9 years ago
Sunk production audio (file named by take) with video file. Merged the clip and the audio file now takes on the video file name. Edited the film. Now the Post house, needs the original audio file names for all the audio files used in the edit. Is there any way to get the audio used in the edit to revert back to its original name?Maybe there's some 3rd party program that can help withby Joe Riggs - Café LA
Re: Does X work with RED footage natively or does it transcode? - 9 years ago
So after all this I think I'd like to transcode RED footage, edit in FCP7, bring edit into FCPX (7 to X), and from there reconnect to the RED originals. Can this be done? Maybe through Resolve, then back to FCP X?by Joe Riggs - Café LA - X
