Upgrade from 5.0.4 -- Yet another upgrade question :-) - 15 years agoHello to all, I am working in 5.0.4. I have a project waiting for the music to be completed and final approval. Meanwhile I have a project just starting. I haven't edited anything, just captured and set up the multiclip sequences. I will probably use CHV Morphing FX (http://www.chv-plugins.com/cms/FxPlug/Morphing/Morphing.php?navanchor=1010020) and it is only compatable with 5.1.2 and above.by Lisha - Café LA Re: SCSI RAID and system keep crashing - 16 years agoThanks Richard and EVERYONE! I ordered a new cable earlier today from ATTO. So that item on your list has already been taken care of. You have a point about my internal drive being too full. While I'm waiting for the new cable to arrive I'll do some clean-up. I have some firewire drives that need to be cleaned up as well so I'll spend the weekend doing some "house cleaning". LOL!by Lisha - Café LA Re: SCSI RAID and system keep crashing - 16 years ago...and the system crashed earlier today while opening FCP. I shut down the computer by holding down the power button and then turned off the RAID. Went to lunch, came back turned on the RAID, restarted the computer and the RAID will not show up on the desktop. I've restarted the system 4 times and the RAID will not show up on the desktop. Peace, Lishaby Lisha - Café LA SCSI RAID and system keep crashing - 16 years agoHello to all, I am running a G5 with a serial ATA 400 gig drive, a Blackmagic Decklink Extreme card and an ATTO Express PCI card. I have an Utlra 320 SCSI RAID 5 by Caen Engineering (www.caeneng.com/). The specs on my system are below as well as a list of the software on my computer. The RAID seems to be crashing the computer. I only have problems when reading-from or writing-to the RAID. Wby Lisha - Café LA Re: Can this footage be cleaned up? Larger clip posted... - 16 years agoHi Jude and Everyone, Here's a larger file. The noise I'm speaking of should show up in this clip. It's a download -- click on yogavideotest.mov Look at her hair and arms. Suggestions on what filters to use or other ways to make the footage look nice is something I'm desperate for! There are entire sections of this angle that are unusable unless I can do something with the noiseby Lisha - Café LA Re: Can this footage be cleaned up? - 16 years agoThanks Jude! When the picture is full-size there is a lot of noise outlining her head and arms. I don't think it was shot on LP mode. I'll check with the person who shot it. IF it was shot in LP mode is there a fix for that? Can anyone suggest noise filters they've had success with? Or just heard of? Lishaby Lisha - Café LA Can this footage be cleaned up? - 16 years agoHello to all, Is there a way to clean up this footage? A friend shot this using a Canon XL1 cameras. There are digital hits, noise, the picture is yellow and blurry. The noise outlines her arms and head and is not constant. It does not show up that much in the above clip but when the picture is full size it is very obvious. When the footage plays from the Canon XL1 it looks okay inby Lisha - Café LA Re: Suggestions for Career Day at elementary school - 16 years agoJust going through my old post and came across this one... F.Y.I., Career Day was a hit!!!!! According to the teacher who organized the event, I was the 2nd most popular speaker next to the concert booker! The kids were impressed with someone who books Chris Brown for a concert! But a couple of music videos still won them over. I see kids on campus and they still say to me, "Whenever theby Lisha - Café LA Re: AVI again... :-) - 16 years agoHi Koz and everyone, The same crew sent me AVI files for a music video and I was able to convert the files using Quicktime Pro. They sent me several DVDs of clips. Should I ask them to send the clips on DVDs again as AVI files? Or should I ask them to lay the footage to tape? If they lay the footage to DVCPro25 tape will it be a problem if I transfer the footage to DVCAM? I have a DSR-11. Tby Lisha - Café LA AVI again... :-) - 16 years agoHello to all, I just received the following message from someone working on a PC system with Vegas: "The footage is too large to convert to uncompressed quicktime. Is 3mps quicktime good enough? The files are currently in DVCPro25 avi." What are my options for getting the footage sent to me to work in FCP 5.0.4 for broadcast? I need the footage ASAP!!!! As always, thanks iby Lisha - Café LA Metacorder files 6 frames out of sync - 16 years agoHello to all, 4-camera shoot, being shot on DVCAM tapes. The audio mixer is doing a mix on set, directly to tape, using Metacorder and providing me with Metacorder files on DVD-r and on a firewire drive. I may have to do some mixing myself using the Metacorder files. Cameras and audio are being fed the same time code. A tech run-through on Friday provided me with test footage and audio fileby Lisha - Café LA Project image behind interview subjects in Post - 16 years agoHello to all, I have some interview footage. The backdrop is black with 2 subjects on camera. I want to give the appearance of images being projected behind the interview subjects. I've put the images "behind" the subjects by using an 8-point garbage matte and the image seems too flat. Any suggestions? As always, thanks in advance!

Will this work as also?by Lisha - Café LA Flip 4 Mac to create Wave Media Player files for online viewing - 16 years agoHello to all, I have .mov files on the web for clients to view. Along with the link to the website, I also provide them with a link to download QuickTime for Mac or PC. A couple of clients, in the PC world, have not been able to view the clips even after downloading QuickTime for PC and have asked for Windows Media Player files. Clients with Macintosh and some PC users have been able to view tby Lisha - Café LA Re: Page Peel effect not working -- this is what I did... - 16 years agoHere's what's working for me now... I've put together several of these presentations so I opened the "McDonald's" sequence and dragged & dropped the Page Peel from that sequence into my favorites folder. I closed the "McDonald's" sequence and reopened the sequence I'm working on today, then I dragged the Page Peel from my favorites folder onto my newspaper pages and allby Lisha - Café LA Re: Page Peel effect not working - 16 years ago...and I will trash my preferences...again. :-)by Lisha - Café LA Re: Page Peel effect not working - 16 years agoIt's been working for for a couple of weeks now -- I'm doing a series of presentations and have finished at least 5, all with successful Page Peels. :-) But I will give it a try. Thanks Derek!by Lisha - Café LA Re: Page Peel effect not working - 16 years agoHi Michael, It's just the Page Peel. The other effects are working. And it's not all of the page peel transitions. I've looked for a pattern, but I haven't found one yet. Some of the Page Peels are working and some aren't. Thanks so much, Lishaby Lisha - Café LA Re: Page Peel effect not working - 16 years agoRender files are there. Each clip is on it's own track slightly overlapping each other. I've reapplied, the effect, restarted Final Cut Pro and restarted the computer repeatedly. Unless the God's give me another idea...or someone on this board, I'm sticking with the Page Peel. LOL! I should add, this happened on Friday and restarting Final Cut Pro fixed the problem. However, today restart iby Lisha - Café LA Page Peel effect not working - 16 years agoHello to all, Okay, don't laugh... I'm using the page peel effect for a project. I created several "newspaper pages" in Photoshop and imported them into Final Cut Pro. My transition from one newspaper page to the next is the page peel effect. If anyone has suggestions on alternate transitions from one newspaper page to the next, I'd love to hear them. :-) Anyway, I've been usingby Lisha - Café LA Re: Where is The Quilt site/project? - 16 years agoLOL! Yes, but that link is not working, at least not for me. When I click on the page nothing happens and when I click on the link it sends me to a Forbidden page. :-(. However, this link works: :-)by Lisha - Café LA Where is The Quilt site/project? - 16 years agoHello to all, A couple of years ago someone posted a link to a site, I think it was called The Quilt Project. You point your mouse anywhere on the page and the page zooms in or zooms out. The image on the page seemed to go on and on and on. It was as if traveling through an animated world. Does anyone know what I am talking about? What's the address to the website? Thanks so much! Liby Lisha - Café LA How to create a .AVI file? - 16 years agoHello to all, How do I create an .AVI file? I've been asked to provide a music video in .AVI format. I exported the video from Final Cut Pro to a Quicktime movie. I then opened it in QuicktimePro and exported a .AVI file. It looks awful. Any suggestions? As always, thanks in advance!

This is a project that was previously edited by someone else. I received 4 DVDs with .avi clips and .sfk clips. The music track was sent as a .wav. I am assuming I do not need the .sfk clips since I have the full music track as a .wav. The .avi clips I need to convert into .mov clips using Quicktime Pro as well as the musicby Lisha - Café LA Re: Suggestions for Career Day at elementary school - 16 years agoI can't wait for Career Day.
