Exporting for Broadcast - 9 years ago
Hey All - Switched fro FCP 7 to Premiere 6. Trying to export the best quality movie for broadcast. The piece was shot on 7D's and edited in a sequence that match those settings. My client wants the piece delivered with a .mov extension. the only place I can find that setting says it will export in 720 by 480. And the "Broadcast" settings are all H.264. Can anyone help me get this oby TroyChristian - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Re: Log and Transfer - 9 years ago
Yeah the subtle differences between FCP7 and Premiere are a bit of an adjustment for me - my eyes are so used to "seeing" all of the telltale signs in FCP. I miss things in Premiere as they are called something else or the shortcuts a re different. Oh the learning curve after 13 years of FCP... I bought 2 AVID licenses and the curve is even steeper for me. Have you chosen to migraby TroyChristian - Café LA
Re: Log and Transfer - 9 years ago
Premiere CS6. So when you export in Premiere you chose settings each time I would presume?by TroyChristian - Café LA
Re: Log and Transfer - 9 years ago
I didn't try that - I should have. Interesting about Premiere and match settings - I am new to Premiere and don't have my head wrapped around it tightly yet. After the second failed attempt I went to P2 Log pro and was successful so I didn't do any follow up experiments as I had client over shoulder and the media was on his drive. So once out of the hot seat I was out the door!! Stir - ress - fulby TroyChristian - Café LA
Re: Log and Transfer - 9 years ago
Dropped it into Premiere as my first option. It saw it and played it perfectly. I tried to export it using "match sewuence settings". It to the 15 minutes to export it (I was giddy that my first attempt at fixing the situation was gonna work) and then suddenly crapped out at the very end with no export. Tried again with the same result. Opened in P2 Log Pro and ingested - first try baby TroyChristian - Café LA
Re: Log and Transfer - 9 years ago
FYI - P2Log Pro was the answer. The last spanned clip was corrupt and P2LP allowed me to ingest the second to last incomplete clip where FCP would not nor P2 PCMS nor Premier Pro. FWIWby TroyChristian - Café LA
Log and Transfer - 9 years ago
Hey all - I shot on P2 cards yesterday and the client is doing the log and transfer using FCP. There is one clip that he can see and hear but can't get it to transfer. I suggested making sure that all of the A Cam folders were open in case it was a spanned file. He said he tried that. Is there another issue at hand and is there a way to get this footage to transfer? Thanks!by TroyChristian - Café LA
Re: From FCP to AVID - your experience* - 10 years ago
All great info people - just wanted to chime in with a thank you ... Bought Avid but have found it easier to jump into Premiere as Joe said - the AE connection for those of us used to vfx ing in FCP Suite has been an easier transition for me personally. I'll need to take this thread as an inspiration to dive in to MComposer a little deeper. thanks again ...by TroyChristian - Avid Media Composer
Lichtenstein look - 10 years ago
Anyone have any tricks to creating this look? I have FCP, AE, Photoshop, Premiere ... I also have the Sapphire Filters. I am aware this is based around the "halftone" filter. I have checked online tutorials and they have all required drawing and tracking in Illustrator or Photoshop. Not my strong suit nor time effective. Anybody have a quick fix? Know of a great tutorial? Thanks!by TroyChristian - Café LA
Re: PAL into 23.98 timeline - 10 years ago
you are right - there is no quick fixby TroyChristian - Café LA
Re: PAL into 23.98 timeline - 10 years ago
Yeah FCP is definitely dropping frames - but the Motion version (Motion being far superior in time remapping) seems to be working ... I'll need to test it in the morning on a different monitoring system to make sure, but at first glance it MIGHT be a quick fix option ... I'll let you know what I learn ... And thanks again for the guidanceby TroyChristian - Café LA
Re: PAL into 23.98 timeline - 10 years ago
Just did a test and it worked so thank you Nick. I did another test in an attempt to maintain the timecode. I brought the original into a 23.98 Motion Project and exported it as a movie and it seemed to work as well. Is that possible? I am hoping to save timecode but realize it may very well be impossible ...by TroyChristian - Café LA
Re: PAL into 23.98 timeline - 10 years ago
So I should transcode the EX to Apple Pro Res 422 in PAL 25fps and then conform in CT then replace edit and eye match in FCP ... Sonds like a long night ahead lol and crying simultaneouslyby TroyChristian - Café LA
Re: PAL into 23.98 timeline - 10 years ago
So Nick, I have duplicated the master clip and opened with CT - the conform buttons are not highlighted and I am not able to make any changes in CT. I tried to open from within FCP and directly with CT with the same result. Am I missing a step?by TroyChristian - Café LA
Re: PAL into 23.98 timeline - 10 years ago
can you use the Conform to Sequence or the Conform 25 to 24 option for this??by TroyChristian - Café LA
Re: PAL into 23.98 timeline - 10 years ago
XDCAM EX1080i 50 I didn't convert so not sure. I believe Compressor was used for some of it Thanks for your help!! It hasn't been visible in FCP but now exporting for sound design it is showing up on other monitoring systemsby TroyChristian - Café LA

PAL into 23.98 timeline - 10 years ago
I am working in a 23.98 timeline and have some PAL 25fps footage that I am using. A conversion was done to Apple ProRes 422 HQ and the footage is "skipping" is there an effective way to convert this footage (I have the RAW) to make this footage play nicely? I tried Compressor with the same result. Another clue - I also notice that in the originally converted version the audio is outby TroyChristian - Café LA
Color correcting artist for DOC - 10 years ago
I need an incredible (and very experienced) colorist for a documentary film I am editing. Davinci Resolve, Apple Color or equivalent. Starts ASAP. Rate negotiable. Please reply here or to troychristian@mac.com for more details. Thanks! Troyby TroyChristian - Jobs
Re: Color and FCP 7.0.3 - 10 years ago
Thanks! I think I will be exporting the film in sequences and turning off certain layers and then rebuild by dropping them back into my sequence and copying and pasting filters effects etc back onto color corrected clips. Seems like Resolve is the only solution. And I'll try to employ the export workaround that you posted Strypes ... Thanks again!!by TroyChristian - Café LA
Re: Color and FCP 7.0.3 - 10 years ago
Working in ProRes 422HQ but there are stills, archival footage, Motion Projects, AE files, animations on and on ... So you are saying that Color can't round trip like a Motion or Soundtrack Pro ... hmmmm - that is a bummer - or a big ol' project at least ... I couldn't get around the polishing with this director unfortunately ... and knew this day was coming. So basically doctor, the diaby TroyChristian - Café LA
Color and FCP 7.0.3 - 10 years ago
Hey all - Working on a 90 doc and about to picture lock. At a post house and they have Resolve and Davinci, etc. My problem is that my first time director needed screeners and submissions and the ability to see a final project to make final decisions blah blah blah. He now wants to use the in house color correction gear to finish. Which (as I have explained to him) means that I need to disaby TroyChristian - Café LA

Hello my trusted editor friends. Quick question to you as a favor to me. Just got offered a contract in a non-union situation to edit a documentary film narrated by Leonard Nimoy. They want me to do 6 ten hour days. Can you educate me on the current going rate (or range thereof) in your opinion? I have a ton of experience and bring their first time director a directors eye, but I am not featuby TroyChristian - Café LA
