Sync problem with camera files - 14 years ago
I have some long interview files recorded on a Focus Enhancements FS-C which works with a Canon XL-H1. It's a hard drive recording device and it's always been reliable. On this current job, when I play back a shot which lasts about 6 minutes from the Firestore to the Camera's viewfinder, everything is in perfect sync. But when I download it to my Mac Octo the sound creeps ahead of the videoby harry323 - Café LA
Re: Rendering long movies. - 14 years ago
Ben - I too find that allowing it to render itself on auto-render produces less crashes. I just render as soon as possible and in small chunks. I also find that having a whole bunch of un-rendered stuff in the timeline can cause crashes too. Best Harry.by harry323 - Café LA
Re: Rendering long movies. - 14 years ago
I personally cancel out of rendering long sequences more frequently - like every 10 minutes and then I SAVE before continuing the render I've been caught out too many times by crashes and freezes during render Best Harry.by harry323 - Café LA
Re: Share a shortcut - 14 years ago
1. Control B which switches on and off any highlighted area in the timeline. Particularly cool if you turn off, say, one sound effect - then highlight that (OFF) sound effect and an alternative sound effect which is ON. So now one is ON and the other is OFF. Control B will then toggle between the two for comparison. 2. Throw mouse against wall in despair. This is a shortcut to "regret&quby harry323 - Café LA

Re: Question about H.264 - 14 years ago
PS. Hey, Strypes ... You say: "The Canon camera skips lines, resulting in lower than expected resolution" It "skips lines". Wot's that? Thank you, Harry Again.by harry323 - Café LA
Re: Question about H.264 - 14 years ago
Ahhh ... I see. You (dcouzin) have confirmed my fumbling suspicions. So the higher the bitrate the less the compression, I take it? And all this 4:2:0 or 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 stuff is the allocation of luma and color space and a separate issue from the bit rate. I had previously thought that those 4xx numbers were inextricably linked to the bitrate. Thank you very much for clarifying all this nby harry323 - Café LA
Re: Question about H.264 - 14 years ago
Thanks for the reply, Strypes. So it really is 4:2:0. I have heard of the overheating problem. The whole thing sounds like a pain in the neck to me . Thanks again, Harry.by harry323 - Café LA
Question about H.264 - 14 years ago
I don't understand. The Canon 5D (and others) use H.264 as an acquisition format, I believe. But I had understood that H.264 is heavily compressed and, presumably, is not 4:2:2 or higher. Correct? Is it 4:2:1 or (gulp) 4:2:0.? Myabe I am bonkers and it is 4:4:4. Nothing would surprise me. It may be that there are different flavors of H.264 that I don't know about, but what I don't get is thby harry323 - Café LA
Re: OT: Essential Mac software we couldn't or shouldn't be without... - 14 years ago
All my faves have been mentioned in the thread, but I would like to submit: iZotope Music & Speech Cleaner. $39. Download. Simple interface, does a good and quick cleanup in no time. Saves a trip to Protools or STP and fiddling around. I wish it were a plugin. Best Harry. PS. Andreas, wot is "Cocktail"?by harry323 - Café LA

Wow! What a horror story. I guess I had better get this mountain of material into ProRes before a nuclear event occurs. Thanks very much for the advice, Andrew. Best etc Harry.by harry323 - Café LA
H.264 off a Canon Vixia HFS 200A - 14 years ago
I am about to be overrun by twenty billion hours of H.264 shot on a Canon Vixia HFS 200A. Question #1: Will FCP 6.0.6 explode if I attempt to edit in H.264? Question #2: Other than ProRes, is there some other smaller sized format in which I can edit this Tsunami of footage? By the way, all things considered, I am astonished at the quality of the original material. I guess it's those Canoby harry323 - Café LA

Quick magical DVD burn - Andy Mees, where are you? - 14 years ago
Hey, Andy. Since we are still engaged to be married (it's true - see prior posts on this subject) here is my Valentine's Day gift to you: I was looking at a post on "another" FCP board - cries of "shame" - and someone suggested a feature for FCP: It would work like this: Highlight an area in the timeline, hit COMMAND P or something - and FCP spits out a DVD of theby harry323 - Café LA
Re: FCP Filters - 14 years ago
For "Men from Mars" read "people talking under water" effect that one can get by overdoing SoundSoap or the noise reduction in Soundtrack Pro. Glad it works for you. Best Harry.by harry323 - Café LA
Re: FCP Filters - 14 years ago
Russ, The other day I bought a little $39 program made by Izotope called Music and Speech Cleaner. It's very easy to use, does not produce the bubbling effect that one can get with Soundsoap and Soundtrack Pro and its only drawback is that it is not a plug in. I was looking for something quick and easy that did not necessitate firing up ProTools. It's downloadable and works fast. It dby harry323 - Café LA
Re: FCP Filters - 14 years ago
My Dear Delphinius, If you want to learn how to compress your movie in "Compressor", all you have to do is post a request for help here with extremely specific details about your original file and I am sure that some kind person will post a step by step guide for your personal case. These things are always a little daunting when one first opens the program, but if I can use Compreby harry323 - Café LA

Yes, Sir. I did. And I still can't find the CHV demos I want to ditch. Thanks for the reply, Derek. Any further ideas appreciated. Maybe I have broken everything and it's The End for Harry. Best H.by harry323 - Café LA
Re: FCP Filters - 14 years ago
In your effects tab go to AUDIO FILTERS, then the Final Cut Pro folder, then pull out the plugin "3 band equalizer" and drop it on your sound. Now mess around with the Low Frequency and Low Gain settings. Heat for 3 minutes and serve. If you want to mess around some more, try "Parametric equalizer". Heh heh. There's also a Compressor/Limiter which might help too. If yby harry323 - Café LA
Want to clean out demo plugins - 14 years ago
Hail, O Wise Ones. I have a whole bunch of demo plugins that I want to ditch. But when I try to find out where they are through Spotlight, they don't appear. Why O Why? He cried. Even when I type the word PLUG into Spotlight it does not find the majority of my plugins or the main FCS plugin folder which is in fact at: Library, Application Support, FCP System Support, Plugins.

Re: Frame skipping effect - 14 years ago
Oh dear ... what have I started? Actually ripple dissolve has a kind of retro-cool and I've been longing to use it for years. There was also a ghastly thing called Squeezoom which I fondly remember from early infomercials. Harry.by harry323 - Café LA

Hi Strypes, Can't Stop The Strobing. It really is such a hackneyed effect -- I'm hoping that the client will undo the order. Thanks for the help, Harry.by harry323 - Café LA

Frame skipping effect - 14 years ago
I have been asked to conjure up what I will refer to as the "frame skipping" effect -- and, yes -- I know it's been very overused, but my client wants it. What I mean is this: Imagine that we have series of 10 frames in real camera time. I need to produce this effect, more or less: Frames -- 1 1 1 4 4 4 7 7 7. So one ends up with more or less the same length of shot, buby harry323 - Café LA
