Re: Can Color 1.5 do more in terms of color grading than FCP7's own tools? - 7 years ago
Nick- Resolve is on my list of must-learn's. I dabbled in Color but... it went away. Related question if slightly OT: what can you or associates who do it regularly recommend to monitor color work, if you have a budget of US 2K or less? And what is the smallest screen a boutique operator could get by with? Best, as always. Lorenby Loren Miller - Café LA
Latest tool for ripping DVD to desired codecs? - 7 years ago
Hi, folks! My favorite friendly DVD ripper, Cinematize, is discontinued. Handbrake looks byzantine compared to it. Is there another really easy ripper out there that can be recommended? I want to get DVD title sets into ProRes. Best, as always. Loren=by Loren Miller - Café LA
Re: Adobe CC still has issues... - 7 years ago
I'm on CC 2015.4 (which is I believe a June 2016 update) and I'm becoming happier with its interface and performance week by week. But then, I haven't yet merged clips. In CS6 I did my first real world Premiere assignment. My wishlist filled up rapidly. In CC they nailed a lot of my interface issues. For instance I ran into some kid stuff with Extend when it left a single frame rather tby Loren Miller - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Re: Mixed Media on DV NTSC timeline - Best way to export for big screen? - 7 years ago
What Dennis outlined, of course. Great info. There is a specific key command to do that! Hold the H key for a second or two to pop either active Viewer or Canvas window to 100% with both fields (if any) viewable. There are some studios around the US who actually specialize in massaging DVX-100 footage shot either 29.97 or 23.98, either with or without 16X9 mask, and upscaling it toby Loren Miller - Café LA

Re: What's the latest MacOS I can safely upgrade to which will run FCP 7 and DVD Studio Pro? - 7 years ago
I second Dennis' post as POW. Using the same double boot system, OS X 10.7 Lion for the older partition, FCP well-behaved as mentioned, and it's a wicked fast boot on an SSD partitioned for both old and new OS X installed in an early 2009 Model 4,1 8-core tower. I've lost a few games that resided on my 10.5 partition, lost in the 2015 fire. NBD. But the second partition is always one of the mby Loren Miller - Café LA
Re: FCP 7 crashing - 8 years ago
What Nick said, and make certain your renders are NOT being routed to your system-boot disk, which is normally busy reading and writing system and app resources, but to a distinctly separate scratch disk, either where primary captures are stored or routed into a Render Files folder on that or on yet another scratch disk. Best, as always. Loren S. Millerby Loren Miller - Café LA

Joe- Thanks for asking. Almost everything. Had to rescue some client LaCie's. I have 18. 4 went south due to mildew/mold. One of those was rescued--over 10 years old. I attribute this outcome to storing on a cool dry shelf, and spinning them up every April 15th for a couple minutes each.

So here I am at the other end of the May 5th condo fire which wiped out my editing system and my home when it filled with 16" of fire department water-- my little condo is 20" below grade. I am writing up the saga as a cautionary tale for all other editors, which I hope Michael will publish here shortly.

Canon C300 ingest lesson - 9 years ago
I received a hard drive with C300 media folder archived to it from the camera card, I've installed Canon XF Utility AND the FCP7 XF plugin. I invoked the Log and Transfer, checked to make certain the Canon MPEG 2 format shows up in Preferences, transcoding to ProRes422 (SQ). Ready to go. I nav to the shuttle drive containing the media folder. It doesn't list the clips-- not from any enclosingby Loren Miller - Café LA
Re: Uncomfortable situation with Client - 9 years ago
I am too, but...it's uncomfortable! We've all been there one way or another. Joe, what if you suggest to client you all take a break from the project for a week or so, so they can price out what things cost for the next steps, and move forward from there, knowing youve been a straight-shooter regarding your fees?

Followup Question 1: Does Final Cut Studio 3 (FCP7, etc) behave when OSX is upgraded from Lion 10.7.4 to 10.7.5 ? (earlier incorrectly called it Mountain Lion, which is 10.8) My main reason for upgrading is Safari-- lots of sites are complaining Safari 6.0 is out of date, and I see no isolated Safari installer. Followup Question 2: Should the QuickTime installer be applied beforby Loren Miller - Café LA

I may try a clean install of FCS3 and Quicktime and giveit another go, based on what I've read here. I can aford to do it because right now, Lion 10.7 is still my working boot OS.

Re: Lots of photographs - looking for a good approach - 9 years ago
I have used every one of these methods one time or another, and they all have value, but for large image jobs, I incline toward Bridge for its comprehensive image format metadata, file sorting and reorganizing, easy renaming, file-opening-into-Photoshop capabilities. And 5K of images says to me "Cross that Bridge!" Be on the lookout for CS6, the last shrinkwrapped version of Adobe Mby Loren Miller - Café LA

Re: What is the last version of MAC oS X which works with FCP7? - 9 years ago
Whew! Just upgraded my test partition to Yosemite 10.2, over Mavericks 9.0 over a clone from Mountain Lion 10.7 both of which included required Quicktime components. I agree with Shane's assessment, Yosemite it is not very QuickTime nor FCP7 friendly, although I got it to boot FCP7, I won;t be working there.

Re: Too many tracks! - what to do - 9 years ago
I'm also delighted see hear how 32-bit FCP7 continues to hold up in a 64-bit world, and even into Yosemite! I continue to use it for longform and have out two hourlong shows into a pro finishing studio which also uses it as a client interaction and launch into Resolve.by Loren Miller - Café LA

Re: 16mm transfer formats - 9 years ago
[29.97i, OK, just indicate that it's interlaced. ] Dennis, I haven't yet wrapped my head around the need to do this; I've always treated 29.97 as interlaced, able able to divide cleanly with 23.976. Yet, in preparing a doc for online, they want fields set to None-- that's progressive. Thus, my head explodes.

Re: SD to HD conversions - 9 years ago
It is a specialty. I'm doing this right now on an hour-long doc I'm co-producing, using a studio in Boston: Modulus. They use a variety of tools, including BMD Teranex. My production is DVCPro, originally shot on a DVX-100A. They have an upscale process for this particular footage which is pretty stunning, but they specialize in all DV25 formats.

Re: Too many tracks! - what to do - 9 years ago
This is interesting. I'm surprised to see XDCAM used for editing; it's not an interframe codec I transcode all such media to ProRes22, and as I recall, I can supress unecessary tracks during the transcode. Either Episode or Compressor, apologies, I forget which-- but somewhere along the line I lose empty tracks I don't need. Might be worth investigating. - Loren Today's FCP 7 keytips:by Loren Miller - Café LA
