Re: Compressor will not open up within FinalCut Studio 2 - 13 years agoI was able to get the program to run within Final Cut. Now I have a different issue with Compressor. Now, Although I can pick my sources to compress, which is the audio and video on my FCP timeline, there is no destination option. When I click on the destination tab within the inspector folder, then submit the batch, I receive an error message. When I look into what the error is, here is the codeby rwise47 - Café LA Compressor will not open up within FinalCut Studio 2 - 13 years agoSomeone please advise. Up until now, Compressor worked just fine. All of a sudden, when I open Compressor within Final Cut, I get a message that says to restart my computer and to make sure Compressor is installed correctly. Using Mac version 10.6.5 and using Final Cut Studio Pro 6.0.6. I have tried to reinstall the entire program with no success. As this is an upgrade, I am afraid to compleby rwise47 - Café LA Importing MTS files (HD Files) into Final Cut to edit in SD to get smaller file to render. - 13 years agoWe have imported .MTS files from a Canon consumer video. We used a conversion program for the .MTS files to convert them to .mov files. But When we imported to Final Cut (ver 6.06 for intel Mac) they show up as MP4 files and take many hours to render just a few minute sequence on a Mac 2X2 8 gig quad system. Here are our settings.

I have the setting to warn only if dropped frame but the capture still stops. Please advise Thanksby rwise47 - Café LA Re: Full-Screen Playback - 15 years agoI've read through these threads and I am having issues with digital cinema display playing. I get a black screen and when I pause the playhead, I get a freeze frame of where the playhead is. I have view/all frames and cinema display main selected. Any suggestions?

I have another question relating to this. If I change the % zoom or reduction size of a clip, is there a way to edit without rendering?by rwise47 - Café LA Re: HDV timeline editing - 15 years agoI was not prompted to confirm the sequence to the clip. I log and captured, then imported the files to the timeline. When I did, the red line appeared above the sequence and I needed to render the entire clip. I thought the sequence settings had some settings that would manually do this. Since I am not being prompted, I am lost as to how to manually change the settings. I need a step by step settby rwise47 - Café LA Re: Cinema display issue - 15 years agoDo you have "Digital Cinema Desktop Preview - Full Screen" selected in the "View/Video Playback" dropdown?

I have set my quality to safe and low but I srill get the red line, showing rendering needed and must render before I can edit or play the sequence.

All I get is a still image of the frame I stop on. When I start the playhead, the screen goes black but I can hear audio. Please advise Thanks RWby rwise47 - Café LA Re: Blu-Ray Authoring - 15 years agoThanks vurchdc. Can you or anyone tell me what Apple is waiting for, being that the war has been won by Blue-Ray? I can't see why Apple is willing to let video producers migrate to Encore because Apple has yet to support Blue-Ray in DVDSP. Doesn't Apple care that they are loosing customers? When is Apple going to get with the program? We have all waited long enough!by rwise47 - DVD Studio Pro Unable to print to video - 15 years agoIt has been a while since I printed to mini Dv and for some reason, the sequence on the timeline does not print to tape. I've double check all my connections. Is there a setting in the Aufio/Video settings or settings section I should have enabled? Thanks.by rwise47 - Café LA Re: Unable to Export to Flash FLV - 16 years agoNo. Trying to export to a standard setting. Have tried many but FCP does not start the process of exporting to Flash. Any other suggestions?by rwise47 - Café LA Unable to Export to Flash FLV - 16 years agoI attempted to export from a FCP timeline to a Flash FLV file. The program stalls with the time bar stopped at 0% as if it is ready to start the process but it does nothing. Please advise.

Is there not a way to export from the timeline? The flash option is there. Please adviseby rwise47 - Café LA Compressor DOES NOT work properly - 16 years agoCan someone tell me how to get the MPEG-2 codec back into the quicktime conversion for exporting. I am forced to use compressor and it is not exporting properly. Compressor sends either half of my audio file or a partial video file. Someone please answer the following. 1. How do I get back my MPEG-2 export setting from Final Cut Pro (newest version 6.04) Forcing me to use compressor is vby rwise47 - Café LA Exporting to Flash issue - 16 years agoWhen attempting to export to flash from final cut, I get the endless color wheel and the system stalls. I have the latest flash9 installed. I can convert to H264 and then send to Sorenson but that is an extra step and loss in quality. Is there a plug in I may be missing? Please Advise. Thanks.by rwise47 - Café LA High Def Streaming - 16 years agoI am looking for the best way to deliver HD content on the web. I have taken an HDV file, Approx 500 megs and compressed down to MPEG-4, converting to flash and a file size of 11 megs. I have lowered the data rate to 1200, anything faster stops. anything lower looks less than acceptable. I used Sorenson Squeeze 5.0 beta to compress. The end user has the option to expand to full screen size.by rwise47 - Café LA Re: Best video file codec for Internet video? - 16 years agoI am also looking for the best way to deliver HD content on the web.

Is there an Apple or FCP audio filter you would recommend using to minimize the sound of background traffic? Please advise Thanks. Rob Wiseby rwise47 - Café LA Re: Where is the MPEG2 Coded in FCP 6? - 16 years agoThat is interesting. I never use to have to use compressor. I could use either quicktime or compressor. Why did they take it out of Quicktime? Is Compressor that much better, faster?by rwise47 - Café LA Where is the MPEG2 Coded in FCP 6? - 16 years agoI recently upgraded to FCP 6 and noticed there is no MPEG2 codec to export to DVDSP? I see an MPEG4 but I thought that was for internet and greater compression applications. I attempted to ecport via MPEG4 and am not satisfied with the quality? Please advise.

Being that Apple dosn't support Blu-ray or HDDVD, what is the purpose of using the Pro res 422 codec?by rwise47 - Café LA Cannot get Green Canvas to Black - 16 years agoMy Canvas has mysteriously turned to green. This means all my transistions from the beging of a clip go from green to the clip rather than from black to the clip. I have gone into user/library/preferences/finalcut and have deleted the preferences. Nothing seems to work. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall? Using 5.04 Please advise. Thanks. Rob Wiseby rwise47 - Café LA Re: Fade to Black Color Changed to Green - 16 years agoThanks to all for responding. I have more than enough memory (4 gigs) however, I do have many things plugged in (3 external hard drives and a printer). Can you refresh my memory exactly how to dump the FCP preferences? I think that could work along with disconnecting everything. Oh, one more thing. I even opened a new project with no timeline and still the green canvas. I could seam all the clby rwise47 - Café LA Re: Fade to Black Color Changed to Green - 16 years agoI even closed the project and opened a new one. The Canvas is Green even before I import a timeline. IF I change the background to White, the background stays white only when the video is paused. when it starts and the playhead is in the canvas area, it goes green again. I rebooted and no help there. Being that I am using 5.01, would a firmware upgrade be the answer or do you recommend reinstalliby rwise47 - Café LA Re: Fade to Black Color Changed to Green - 16 years agoEverything outside of my timeline is green. Example: Normally, if I put a disolve on the end of a sequence, it disolves to black. In my case, it will disolve to green. Everything beneatht he timeline shows greeen. I have never seen this before. I am using FCP 5.01. I need to get it right before I finish up the project though. Robby rwise47 - Café LA Re: Fade to Black Color Changed to Green - 16 years agoThat is the strange thing about this. If nothing is there, it usually disolves to black, you are correct. However, when I disolve, whether in or out, I am disolving to Green. It is as if there is a gren screen matte behind the timeline. Any ideas? Robby rwise47 - Café LA |
