very strange issue with AJA KONA 3 - 16 years agoThis is rare, I think the KONO cards are great - I had a problem with my broadcast monitor in that I could not get a picture out of FCP 5.1.4 so eventually I re installed the KONA software and the monitor got a signal - however in the worst possible time a weird glitch appeared (two frames). This is a commercial about to be trafficked. I checked the original quicktime on my hard drive and it to hby Phil UK - Café LA Soundtrack Pro will not install - 16 years agoI use FCP 5.1.4 on a mac pro dual 3 ghz with Tiger 10.4.11 core intel Xeon, 4 gb RAM and just tried to find Soundtrack Pro (apple studio one package fully licensed etc...) and could not find it, did find apple loops. Soundtrack pro Support pkg opened file and the istaller apeared, cool I thought only to find it won't instal. Just try again and to no avail. I'm not sure how this happened. Any tipsby Phil UK - Café LA Can't find Title 3D or Boris Caligraphy? - 16 years agoI have a mac pro dual core 3 ghz running FCP 5.1.4 on the latest Tiger. I am curious about Title 3D and Boris but can't find them. My GFX are done using AE 7 but I am curious. Cheers Phil UKby Phil UK - Café LA What is a 3D Relief Filter? - 16 years agoI can't resist the offer of free filter downloads. The latest being from a creative cow alert. It's called a 3D Relief Filter and it (I think) works with Boris. I do not use Boris but would if I could get great title effects. As for the filter download - What does it do?by Phil UK - Café LA Re: Monitoring audio at -10db on FCP 5.1.4 - 16 years agoThat is cool and looks worth the $50 and has a PPM. Thanks.by Phil UK - Café LA Re: Monitoring audio at -10db on FCP 5.1.4 - 16 years agoCheers Joe...Yes the FCP audio meters do s*** and that is a fact. I had thought of the tape marker but I use those soft Sony plasma screens and am wary of putting tape on them. Usually my soundbeds come from a videosonics house but these ones came from the famous Abbey Road and are incorrect.by Phil UK - Café LA Monitoring audio at -10db on FCP 5.1.4 - 16 years agoI work in the UK on FCP. The audio meters are perhaps more conventional with -6 db. -18db etc...I have to traffick content at -10db and I don't have PPMs (fine for -6db) so I rely on FCP's audio meters which do not have -10db settings on the meters so I guess. This works most of the time but I have been flagged for supplying audio that falls .5db od -10. Is there a way round this? Cheers Phil UKby Phil UK - Café LA Re: a British cardiac arrest scenario.... - 16 years agoThat's right, it is always on news reports and trash morning TV. In my line it is a lot more of a nightmare because commercials go through what is known as the BACC who decide on whether titles are on long enough, line height, Harding test and whether content is fit for pre watershed programing. What is infuriating about the BACC is that they simply fail your ad telling you "It failed the Haby Phil UK - Café LA Re: a British cardiac arrest scenario.... - 16 years agoIt is so hard to calibrate...I have seen the Bourne films on the BBC (auntie Beeb) so I dont think is is fast cutting. I have checked the info available, Jude Cotter was really helpful on this and knew the language but I guess there is no cheap and easy way of knowing until you in trouble.by Phil UK - Café LA Re: a British cardiac arrest scenario.... - 16 years agoThanks guys, the Harding test is costly and time consuming and complicated to understand...it suppose it can flashes or fast cuts, we had a problem with a bright motion graphic that when it cleared the screen left a gap of 8 frames then kicked into another graphic. We had to take the color down and put fades on each end and that solved the problem. It took 4 Harding tests before it was OK at a cby Phil UK - Café LA Re: a British cardiac arrest scenario.... - 16 years agoDoes'nt work in this case...by Phil UK - Café LA Re: a British cardiac arrest scenario.... - 16 years agoClay I found Range Check (I'm a dolt)...I will mess around with it. Hey who knows.by Phil UK - Café LA Re: a British cardiac arrest scenario.... - 16 years agoCheers Clay, is Range Check on FCP 6? I have not heard of it, I am running FCP 5.1.4 on a mac pro which also means I don't run Color. It is a weird one. It was Jude Cotter who explained to me how to sort of fix the problem, I just wish there was some way to detect it.by Phil UK - Café LA a British cardiac arrest scenario.... - 16 years agoI work in advertizing which means unrealistic deadlines with no margin for error. One of the scariest moments I have encountered is luminance flash. It'll kill ya. It comes right out of the blue and strikes hard - in the UK it is called failing the Harding test. My question, aside from instinct is there a way of detecting luminance flash without having to pay the extortionate cost and difficultyby Phil UK - Café LA Re: Audio out of sync - 16 years agoThis is interesting...I see audio sync problems on a female constipation medicine ad in the UK. I would be crucified if ever audio sync issues passed my eyes and in to the broadcast TV stream. I used to work on Discreet software and it went very red when audio slipped. There is no excuse.by Phil UK - Café LA Re: Editing for TV, how do i do the breaks and timing - 16 years agoRemember that on your final master the clock start time on your breaks begin at a 30 second point on your timeline and the next section of your program starts on an even number ie 01:01:00:00.by Phil UK - Café LA Re: OT : And then they STILL have that stupid MOJO - 16 years agoI like the way this thread concluded. Nicely done. Maybe one day we can talk Blackmagic....all my dealings with the B word have been cursed.by Phil UK - Café LA Re: Schools for FCP vs Avid Symphony - 16 years agoIt never dawned on me that budget had so much to do with Avid hire>use> Whatever compared to FCP. In Britain Avid is the TV norm, the BBC contrary to all the FCP talk use Avid but they have good budgets and access to halls full of Symphony and Adrenaline. Avid training in the UK is (in dollars) is $4000 for w a weekend. That's a new mac pro...by Phil UK - Café LA Re: Working with Stills - 16 years agoWhen we do still seqs we use Shine lens flares in AE for transitions and slow zoom IN/Out in FCP...it is always a challenge to make still sequences look exciting in a program, I guess that is why Rostrum camera work is so costly. If you want to see some great stills editing check out the film 'Dogtown and the Z Boys' - great film edited with vibrance and many stills. Phil UKby Phil UK - Café LA Re: powermac G4: anybody using one? - 16 years agoHey if Tiger works great...on my Mac Pro (intel) I won't instal Leopard, the machine sings on Tiger...Good luck, Phil UKby Phil UK - Café LA Re: powermac G4: anybody using one? - 16 years agoI would stay on Panther rather than instal Tiger if you have an old G4, you may have done so and it is Hunky Dory but I've had a couple of friends who tried to instal Tiger and it was a disaster beyond all expectations. I kept my old G4 because it was like an old overcoat and never let me down. I upgraded RAM et al but stayed on Panther. Call me a romantic fool but there you go, it still works fiby Phil UK - Café LA Re: Ben King's Comment on DV/HD color space? - 16 years agoThis is great..I'm all for it. Video is a science and it is developing in wild and wonderful ways and we'll be there to see it. Calculus? I would have a go but a = b = c messed me up when it came to maths. I do have a friend who is a profound mathmatics genius teacher who explained the quadratic equation to me using satelite beam and the angle at which it hits the dish as a model.by Phil UK - Café LA Re: Ben King's Comment on DV/HD color space? - 16 years agoGamma Curve...this is another term I need to understand...I use the Natress filters and gamma curve is part of the process and I stay away as I have not got a clue how it effects what I'm doing. Thanks guys, Strypes whoever you are, we speak often. I'll check the link. Are you UK based? I've chatted with Ben King a couple of times. I am always keen to speak to UK based FCP editors as Avid stiby Phil UK - Café LA Ben King's Comment on DV/HD color space? - 16 years agoI am just searching for enlightenment, on the Monitor Flicker query Ben King commented on HD color space being different to that of SD and I don't care how thick I sound making this request but if anyone, Ben you to, can expand and define the concept of color space for me I would love it. Is it a generic or scientific term for the color of various video formats. Yes, I have a rough idea but the sby Phil UK - Café LA Re: Working with video shot at 300 frames per second? - 16 years agoHi Loren, regarding the QT Pro option, can I load the seqs from a drive straight into QT Pro? Is it that simple. I'm just learning AE so Joe's idea is possible but limited due to my lack on Know How...cheers Philby Phil UK - Café LA Re: Working with video shot at 300 frames per second? - 16 years agoCheers guys, we shall try it out.by Phil UK - Café LA Working with video shot at 300 frames per second? - 16 years agoHey y'all, I am working in a day or two with video shot at 300 fps, the camera operates using TIFF files, has its own hard drive from which you load from (I assume)...how does this work in terms of editing in Final Cut 5.1.4? Do I convert to quicktime some how? Can I just load from cam to hard drive? The camera operates like film..each TIFF similar to a frame of film or something like that. Advicby Phil UK - Café LA Re: FCP editors and After Effects - 16 years agoThe good After Effects artist I know came out of graphic design as in old school magazine stuff...I did a degree in film. I agree with Derek...this will become intergral because as I may have said before, production managers, clients whatever have not the foggiest idea of what goes into making a broadcast quality 30 second commercial.by Phil UK - Café LA Re: Vision mixing? Is it so hard? - 16 years agoHey Vince, I did exactly what you told me and it worked just fine.by Phil UK - Café LA Re: Vision mixing? Is it so hard? - 16 years agoThis is 3 cam, basic stuff...they need somone, I got a phonecall and said sure, I have apretty good idea and besides as they say in Canada - 'it's something to do."by Phil UK - Café LA |
