Re: HDV and ProRes mixed -> best workflow? (Output: SD-DVD and HD file) - 11 years ago
You are exactly correct. I was doing HDV renders to ProRes in an HDV timeline. So if I plonk HDV into a ProRes Timeline and set Sequence Settings to Render as ProRes you are saying it will render as fast as rendering HDV in HDV Timeline using Render as HDV? I will summon my team of slaves and conduct further tests. Damn. I thought I had it cracked. But there is also the whole question of dby harry323 - Café LA
Re: HDV and ProRes mixed -> best workflow? (Output: SD-DVD and HD file) - 11 years ago
Hey, strypes, You say, above: "ProRes ... will speed up your render time for preview during the edit session, as you won't be rendering to HDV." Your experience is different to mine. I find that, when cutting HDV in an HDV Sequence, switching rendering from HDV to ProRes in the Sequence Settings in fact considerably slows down rendering time. My timings show me that a ProRes rendby harry323 - Café LA

What is audio rate of Canon Rebel 3ti H.264 - 11 years ago
Can any one tell me if the audio rate of the H.264, as recorded on a Canon 3ti Rebel, is 48k? I've searched online and can't find anything. Maybe all H.264 is 48k (?). I have an enormous amount of transcoding to ProRes to do and I want to know exactly what I am dealing with here. As an aside, I am planning to use MPEG Streamclip for my conversions because I find it quicker to use and I don't gby harry323 - Café LA
Re: Do I need Compressor X to make FCPX function properly? - 11 years ago
Thanks for the reply, Craig. I think, just for fun, I'll try to get my $50 back from Apple. I wonder how they'll take to that. Harryby harry323 - Café LA - X
Do I need Compressor X to make FCPX function properly? - 11 years ago
Like a fool, I bought FCPX. Then, when I imported a couple of shots, FCPX went into a slo-mo tizzy and started behaving strangely - gurgling and urinating on the floor. So I assumed that it was trying to find Compressor X for transcoding and bought that for $50. Do I need Compressor X to make FCPX do its "Import and Transcode" thing? If I don't, I might as well try to get my fiftyby harry323 - Café LA - X
FCPX ... huh? - 11 years ago
They told me that rendering time was a thing of the past, and that FCPX would accept any format and play without a hiccup. Just toss it in the Timeline - any old format - it'll play straight out of the box. What they failed to reveal was that all the transcoding and rendering and analysis has to take place up-front. So, as far as I can see, to be properly prepared to edit in FCPX, there are hoby harry323 - Café LA - X
Re: FCP X and Motion 5 now in App Store - 11 years ago
Once you have installed FCPX and Compressor, run Software Update - there is some stuff called "Final Cut Pro X Supplemental Content" etc. A relatively big file - 638MB. Harry.by harry323 - Café LA - X
Re: How does one play to an External HD screen? - 11 years ago
No menu item for Video Output that I can find. Bummer. I just imported some H.264 shot on a hand held pocket Canon 720p and I must say that I have never seen such good smoothing. Better than Lock&Load. BUT - I tried importing some HDV and it wouldn't so it - gave me a sulky message saying "No Importable Files - None of the selected files or folders can be imported.

How does one play to an External HD screen? - 11 years ago
How about my HD screen? I can get the viewer onto a second screen, but can't anywhere find the way to play video out through my Blackmagic Decklink HD Extreme. Any ideas? I've looked everywhere. This is bizarre. Harry.by harry323 - Café LA - X

Untitled-99 - 11 years ago
I have had a whole lot of media files dumped on me that are named "Untitled - xxx". There are many repeats - where more than one file has the same ID. I want to renumber them starting at 0001. No name. Just new numbers. Is there any way to do this automatically? I really really don't want to do it by hand. Suggestions appreciated. Best Harry.by harry323 - Café LA

Re-linking audio - 12 years ago
I should know how to do this. But I'm having a bad time with it. The dailies on this show are all 3 frames out of sync. So I UNLINK sound and picture with Command L, then I shift the sound by 3 frames. Now I want to re-link the sound and picture. Harrumph.

Technicolor LUT to be used within FCP. - 12 years ago
I am about to use a new Canon Rebel 3ti as a second camera on a documentary about restoring and rebuilding Concert Grand Pianos. For those of you who enjoy puns, the title is "Raising A Grand". The camera will be used in awkward and restricted spaces - like the inside of a piano action. I have downloaded the EOS Utility from Canon and the Technicolor CineStyle software.

Ah -- the infamous error 48, huh? Well, for what it's worth, and because I have such a small and delicate flower for a social conscience, I actually looked it up. Here's what it says: -48 dupFNErr Duplicate filename (rename); File found instead of folder. So that could be a clue. Derek is correct that your problem could be caused by 50,000 things.

Re: ProKit 7.0 - Danger Will Robinson ... - 12 years ago
I have one drive running Snow Leopard and another running plain Leopard. I didn't have any need for FCS 3 which turns out to have been a good non-investment. I keep Ye Olde Leopard on a 2nd boot drive because my CHV "Key Pro" doesn't like the combination of my 8 core and Snow Leopard. Christoph says it's a bug in Snow Leopard and I tend to believe him.

I also tried downloading Blackmagic driver 7.2.1 which the B/M guy said he thought "might" work, but that didn't help. So am back to using B/M driver 6.8.8.

Is it possible to import a Protools OMF into Final Cut? - 12 years ago
I am attempting to learn how to export and import OMF files from FCP (v.6.0.6) to Protools v.9. I have succeeded in exporting from FCP to PT, but when I save a file in PT as OMF and try to open it in FCP I get a rather rude dialog box. Any casual ideas would be appreciated.

Thunderbolt question. - 12 years ago
I have a 2008 Mac Pro 8 Core 3Gz with 8 gigs Ram. It runs pretty fast. Joey and others here tell me that a Solid State Drive would be a really good idea for my System and Final Cut. Which, in my thirst for speed and efficiency, brings me to Thunderbolt. I understand that this Thunderbolt lark is sort of built in to the new Mac Book line.

Advice wanted about SSD - 12 years ago
Good afternoon, diligent and hard-working editors. Question: Is there any point to my blowing about $250 on an SSD drive for my Mac? It's 8 Core, 2x3 Ghz with 8 Megs RAM. I was thinking of putting my System stuff and FCS and other related Apps like Protools on it.
