Re: FCP 6 Asking For My Serial Number? - 12 years ago
I have heard of FCP weirdness with this security release. Stay tuned.by Kevin Monahan - Café LA
Re: kodak playsport (zi3)work flow with Fcp anyone? - 12 years ago
Not sure. What type of file format is it?by Kevin Monahan - Café LA
Re: keyboard shotcut is there - 12 years ago
Highlight clip Press enter Press Command + 4 Down Arrow Press enter, etc.by Kevin Monahan - Café LA
Re: Ingesting AVCHD files with FCExpress 4 - 12 years ago
The Apple Intermediate Codec looks OK to me. QT isn't the best for viewing images in all cases. Do you have a HD broadcast monitor? Did you check off "High Quality" in QuickTime in the movie settings?by Kevin Monahan - Café LA
Re: This transition - 12 years ago
It's not a standard transition, it's a glow filter keyframed to the end portion of the out going clip and beginning portion of the incoming clip. Looks like a bit of blur ramped up too. A standard technique for video effects creators. I remember when I first learned I could use filters as transitions. Whoa what a concept!by Kevin Monahan - Café LA
Re: Strange 'Close Gap' (Ctrl-G) behavior - 12 years ago
The close gap function was improved with FCP 7, it's supposed to work even if you are not within the gap but on the last frame of an existing clip (but don't quote me on that!) Something is confusing FCP when an older version of a project is brought into the current version. I think this happens sometimes when features are changed or upgraded.by Kevin Monahan - Café LA
Re: Cross Dissolve Text Bump - 12 years ago
When it comes to FX, I know my s#$t.by Kevin Monahan - Café LA
Re: FX based transitions and effects - 12 years ago
You've got a ProRes timeline? Tell me about your drives then. Are they fast enough to playback ProRes? Your preview in Unlimited RT should be just fine. Something is amiss.by Kevin Monahan - Café LA
Re: opening final cut - 12 years ago
Runs better with at least one high performance graphics card and the MacBook does not have one. A MacBook Pro does have one (actually, it has 2 video cards inside)by Kevin Monahan - Café LA
Re: Cross Dissolve Text Bump - 12 years ago
Do you have the Sequence > Render menus "FULL" Option checked before you rendered? That bites a lot of folks.by Kevin Monahan - Café LA
Re: FX based transitions and effects - 12 years ago
Do you have your RT Pop Up menu set properly for better realtime? If you didn't already know: Unlimited > Dynamic Quality > Dynamic Frame Rate Turn off your Dropped Frames Warning on Playback while you edit too. You should not have to render to play through most of your effects.by Kevin Monahan - Café LA
Re: Recommended reading / cutting first feature trailer? - 13 years ago
It's all 'bout Sound Design. You need a towering amount of SFX, music etc. to pull it off correctly.by Kevin Monahan - Café LA
Re: FCP 7 Timecode Window and Edit to Tape - 13 years ago
Sorry, the new Timecode Readiout is only available while editing.by Kevin Monahan - Café LA
Re: OT: In LA this Weekend. Meet up? + Cut rate Blu-Ray Templates "OUT 'DA TRUNK" - 13 years ago
Hung out with Mike and Ben last night. What a blast! Shane, I had to bail out of LA to take that job up North with a company that rhymes with "Snapple". Now I am sort of in limbo. I'd come back to LA if there was a gig out here that suited me. My problem in LA is that the post community does not know me, barely know I exist. So getting those crucial word of mouth gigs just didn't hapby Kevin Monahan - lafcpug Market
OT: In LA this Weekend. Meet up? + Cut rate Blu-Ray Templates "OUT 'DA TRUNK" - 13 years ago
Hey Guys, I'm in LA this weekend. If anyone wants to meet up for a beer or two on Sat. night, that would be cool. If not, I guess I'll see ya'll at the SuperMeet up North. I'm also holding several copies of my Blu-ray Templates for FCP 7. If anyone wants the "hook up", I'll give you a 50% discount ($25). Cool? Hit my Private Message Box if you want to meet, I'm in Pasadena tonight aby Kevin Monahan - lafcpug Market
Re: 1920x1080i to DVD Need assistance - 13 years ago
I use the OWC burner and create BR discs right out of FCP. Looks awesome.by Kevin Monahan - Café LA
Re: Recreate digital TV noise? - 13 years ago
Checked out the Bad TV filter in the new FCS?by Kevin Monahan - Café LA
Re: Putting 3:2 Back In - 13 years ago
Kona 2 will cross convert, no? If not, there is a method but involves recapture.by Kevin Monahan - Café LA
Re: Wipe from 'Stingray' - 13 years ago
Right Jude. Our matte creation tools are too primitive in FCP.by Kevin Monahan - Café LA
Re: R3D QT Proxie Problem - 13 years ago
Exactly WHY do they want wrapped R3Ds as compared to ProRes files? Conforming in Color? Because there are other ways to do it.by Kevin Monahan - Café LA
Re: video playback in canvas - 13 years ago
What is the format of the clip? CMD 9 What is the format of the sequence? CMD Zeroby Kevin Monahan - Café LA
Re: Undo isn't working - 13 years ago
I've seen this. Can you trash prefs? If not, reinstall FCP?by Kevin Monahan - Café LA
Re: Wipe from 'Stingray' - 13 years ago
I would do this in Motion, not FCP. Just animate the Line tool over a black color solid to reveal the background. With lines, you can add gradients to them. Pretty cool, actually.by Kevin Monahan - Café LA
Re: OT: Merry Xmas and a Great 2010 - 13 years ago
Best wishes to you all on this Christmas Day!by Kevin Monahan - Café LA
Re: Slow Motion Help? - 13 years ago
Send the clip to Motion and engage Optical Flow speed effects. There are also a number of speed behaviors that work great there, as well.by Kevin Monahan - Café LA
Re: problem w a move on a still - 13 years ago
Quote2X enlargement is pretty lame for photomotion, which often requires much higher magnification ratios I guess Loren, if you want to zoom into a nose hair!by Kevin Monahan - Café LA
Re: Rendered files in ProRes or Test DV Timeline stutter on playback. - 13 years ago
Mark, Apply the deinterlace filter to each of the stills with "stutter" or as we call it here: interlace flicker. Render. Done.by Kevin Monahan - Café LA
Re: problem w a move on a still - 13 years ago
It's too large. Resize it to be under 2000 pixels in Photoshop to be more manageable. FCP isn't spec'd to handle any files larger the 4000 x 4000. I'm surprised you were able to add it to the Canvas. You should always "optimize" your images for video in Photoshop prior to using them in a FCP timeline. Target the size as to whether you'll be doing any scaling or repositioning. If so,by Kevin Monahan - Café LA
Re: Rendered files in ProRes or Test DV Timeline stutter on playback. - 13 years ago
What happens if you render and playback the clips from a different drive?by Kevin Monahan - Café LA
