it sorta look like it pauses ( for less than a sec) every 15-20 frames. specs: 12:22:09min in the fcp time line qt setting was h264 / best quality / key every 29.97/ cd quality 41.000by J.Corbett - Café LA Re: 64kb files in capture scratch cant clean - 17 years agowell thats the ticket. i guess i could also put all of them in another folder and get the same reaction. sorta change that path to see if it bitches.by J.Corbett - Café LA Re: Upgrading to universal B4 2007 - 17 years agothats what i say but i only have 2 ppc g5. i was planning on going dual core in march but it seems apple has pre-greased our dairy-airs so that we have to purchase a bunch of universal upgrades for programs that we now own.by J.Corbett - Café LA Re: field question + - 17 years agodo you mean reversing as in playing backwards or am i missing some thing. when you say blend fields i am thinking about composite mode or motion2 blends. if i am capturing dv then would a reverse of field dominance make it sharper and smoother?
