Color and Color Correction in FCP - 13 years agoIf you were doing color correction and grading for an entire project would you first do basic color correction in FCP and then take it to Color or just do everything in color?by Joe Riggs - Café LA Soundtrack Pro vs Pro Tools - 13 years agoHi, I have finished my edit in FCP and now will venture into sound work, cleaning up audio, mixing, etc... I have never used either Soundtrack Pro or Pro Tools, I'm familiar with Audition. Anyhow this is an opportunity to learn one of these programs, any thoughts on either one for audio work for film? Obviously, STP interacts directly with FCP so that would make things easier. Do I needby Joe Riggs - Soundtrack Pro Re: Soundtrack Pro vs. Pro Tools - 13 years agoThanks Nick, you do need extra hardware for Pro Tools? So the program won't even open without it? I just want to bring in audio from final cut, I don't need to record anything. Ok, I did a little research, it seems Pro Tools 9 HD needs hardware while Pro Tools 9 does not. Unfortunately, without the card you get a "smaller track count and a number of advanced features turned off."by Joe Riggs - Café LA Soundtrack Pro vs. Pro Tools - 13 years agoHi, I have finished my edit in FCP and now will venture into sound work, cleaning up audio, mixing, etc...

I know esata (v2) is rated at 3 GB/s but if it's put into a pci slot isn't only 133 mb/s? Would the transfer rate be better if you used a bracket that could plug directly into the sata port on the motherboard? Thanksby Joe Riggs - Café LA How do you like to organize your raw footage and editing workflow? - 13 years agoHi, How do you organize the raw footage you receive and what is your editing work flow until picture lock? Here's how I do it but I'm always interested in more efficient ways. 1. The raw footage is delivered on a hard drive. On the drive the raw footage is separated into folders with the Project Name 1,2,3... While the audio is in it's own folder. 2. Convert the raw footage to Pro Res anby Joe Riggs - Café LA Re: scrolling text duration - 13 years agoI did end credits using the scrolling text in FCP but it seems the options for alignment are just center, left, and right. Is there a way to align the text in FCP to that standard way seen in many movies? See CAST @ 2:24 Also is there a way to preview the credits without having to render every time? Thanksby Joe Riggs - Café LA Re: What do I charge? - 13 years agoThanks you. Jude, Yep, I tend to underestimate the amount of time it will take, got to improve on this. How much raw footage did you end up dealing with on that project? Was the final script 20 plus pages or did they added scenes on set and just shoot a ton of footage?by Joe Riggs - Café LA What do I charge? - 13 years agoHi, I finished picture locking a short film (20 min) and the client (L A County) has expressed interest in color correction and audio work. The footage badly needs this, it has a nasty deep orange hue throughout most of the interior footage because I think they didn't white balance on set. The audio is better but they often didn't leave room between lines of dialogue, so there's a numbeby Joe Riggs - Café LA Re: Music tracks start later after auto render? - 13 years agoThanks shift d worked.by Joe Riggs - Café LA Music tracks start later after auto render? - 13 years agoHello, I'm experiencing a really frustrating problem. It seems the music tracks (it started with one but now seems to occur in 2 of thew) are starting later than they should after auto render completes. For example, I set the music track to start at the beginning of the song, I edit my clips to the music. Everything is how it should be. Then I come back after auto render and my music trackby Joe Riggs - Café LA Re: Auto render and other basic ? - 13 years agoOKay, so I created a scrolling text and I can't view it unless I render. Is it possible to lower the playback quality in order to playback in real time? If I have to render every time I make a change, it's a huge waste of time.by Joe Riggs - Café LA Auto render and other basic ? - 13 years agoHi, I'm new to Final cut from premiere and if I leave FCP for awhile and come back I see auto render complete. I know Final cut can render stuff in the background so I'm assuming that is what it's doing. However, I'd like a greater understanding of auto render and if I really need it. I'm working on a 20 min rough cut (pro res 422 1080p) at the moment, 95% of my edits are straight cuts, thby Joe Riggs - Café LA What is the equivalent effect in FCP? - 13 years agoHi, Does FCP have an effect that allows you to take an audio track that has been recoded on the left or right channel and replace it with the other channel? For example, I have a track where a Boom and Lav were used, one on the left channel and one of the right channel. I'd like to replace the Lav channel with the Boom, in order to still have one stereo track but with the Boom on both thby Joe Riggs - Café LA Re: Final Cut Pro 7.03 XML for entire project? - 13 years agoThank you Dave, that did it! I have been trying to figure this out for two days now, tried multiple forums but no luck, looks like LAFCPUG is where the pros are!by Joe Riggs - Café LA Final Cut Pro 7.03 XML for entire project? - 13 years agoHi, I would like to import my entire final cut pro 7 project (20 bins, 10 sequences, 300+ clips) to Premiere CS5.It is very important that the structure that I have setup be maintained (bins, sequences and the clips within them) About two months a ago, I did this without a hitch.. This time I can't seem to get more than 1 bin and 1 sequence to export from FCP. I checked the master clips, buby Joe Riggs - Café LA |
