Re: SmoothCam jitters. - 12 years ago
Hi Phil - i couldn't tell you exactly how i did it, it was over a month ago - but i did get it to work, it can work. on a few of the shots i had to re-trim in order to lose more defined camera movements, but the majority of the shots were tripod-held, and the movement came from the passing vibration of cars on a motorway bridge. if there are defined pans and zooms in your shots granted it may notby bluey - Café LA
Re: SmoothCam jitters. - 12 years ago
This problem is unique to FCP version 7, re-exporting as a self contained QT won't solve it in my experience either, however you can work around the problem by using the smooth/stabilize facility in Motion after experimenting with both sets of parameters. Theres actually many threads on this issue out there, browsing the Creative Cow forums may help also. You certainly shouldn't have to pay-ouby bluey - Café LA
Re: Blowing up ProRes 422 to create a CU - any way to do this without loosing resolution? - 12 years ago
also exporting the blown-up clip then re-importing for use, looses some of the inflated pixel distortion. very slight sharpening of the clip, on shorter shots can also help hide the resolution change. Bluey,by bluey - Café LA
Re: Increasing All Volume Levels - 12 years ago
. . . you could also export the sequence as audio only, re-import that audio and boost it as single track, disabling the initials while still keeping them for further revisions, adjustments, Bluey,by bluey - Café LA

Re: Freelance - Client Producers / editors.... WRONG For Creativity (rant) - 12 years ago
"Sure they know what they want to say but they hired you to turn it into something visual. They didn't hire you to shut-up and do what your told." If you're interested in repeat business, it pays well to master the art of doing both. In my experience projects vary from complete creative control to providing the client's vision as accurately as you're able. Bluey,by bluey - Café LA
Re: Getting rid of hiss on a clip - 12 years ago

billing rates/freelance charges - 12 years ago
Hi all - i'm currently negotiating a trailer/promo job for a 3 day conference in London, and was wondering what (any of) you would charge for a similar job. I'll be working with stock footage as well as voice-over supplied by the client, and be responsible for graphic elements/titles, sound mix, colour grade etc. The end product will be 2-3 minutes long and delivered encoded for web use.

Anyone used Avid Artist Series MC Transport with FCP? - 12 years ago
Hi guys - has anyone here had any experience (or heard feed back from someone who has) using the Avid Artist Series MC Transport with FCP 6 or 7? apparently it's compatible with many applications including Photoshop and even FCPX I've been looking for something like this for a while, to speed up common editing tasks and reduce the impact of extended editing sessions on the wrist, aby bluey - Café LA

FCP7 Smoothcam export issue - 12 years ago
I was wondering if anyone else here has come across this, and how you may have managed to work around it . . . It appears that upon export to quicktime the Smoothcam filter in FCP7 produces a result more akin to an earthquake effect rather that stabilisation, after looking fine in the timeline. From what i gather this is a bug of sorts in FCP7 after it working just fine in versions 6+. So bby bluey - Café LA
Re: Weird Glitch on FCP 7 - 12 years ago
maybe open up a previous auto-save version of the project file (if that was the final version of the animation) and export-reimport the quicktime and work with that, otherwise you could try checking your frame rate on the sequence settings and/or copy-paste the material into a new FCP project file?

i had a similar thing happen once - as a solution i removed all filters then copy-pasted as well as re-imported the media to a fresh project-file after re-starting the computer and trashing the prefs . . . result . . then i counted to ten ran round the machine twice and cast a spell. hasn't happened again since.by bluey - Café LA
