Re: OT-Fate of the Mac Pro? - 11 years ago
Apple was ahead of the curve with powerful machines about 3 years ago, but now you can buy 16 and 24 core PCs for a good price. I am wondering what strategy Apple is pursuing, or is everything tactically?

Re: Multiple Capture Scratch Folders - 11 years ago
Even if you use Capture Now, you are given the opportunity to name you clip in the Description and/or name area. So you have items named logically. File management is a critical part of pre-production/editing/production. This greyed out name problem does not occur on my FCP 6.03. You type the name in the description area, then click on the name area. It automatically takes the name of whby mark@avolution - Café LA

Re: Converted footage darker on canvas when playing (?) - 11 years ago
I had this problem years ago. It would change the gamma of the clips when in play mode, and have a different gamma when in pause. I cured it, in this situation anyways by applying a Broadcast safe to the clips. But this was years ago and may not apply to your situation. dcouzin Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > But why is the gamma different when rby mark@avolution - Café LA
Re: xdcam sequence back to disc-how does it lay down files - 11 years ago
It looks like I can only export the sequence, from further googling. Is there any sneaky way that I can lay down individual clips bak to the XDCAM disc?by mark@avolution - Café LA
xdcam sequence back to disc-how does it lay down files - 11 years ago
I am about, for the first time EVER, use the Export to XDCAM function in FCP 6.03. Now I know it will write back to the XDCAM as files, but does it lay it back as the edited files as I have named them such as "Operator answers phone", then Camera pans across screens", as an example. Or does it lay the entire sequence down as one file? Because if it lays down the sequencby mark@avolution - Café LA
Re: Premiere CS6 to Encore DVD Best Workflows - 11 years ago
There is an Adobe Link function, SEND TO ENCORE. It will import all chapters etc, and create a new Project in Encore. It will bypass all the intermediate converts and in my opinion is the quickest, and highest quality way to do it. You mention "export Mpeg2", so I assume you are not using the Adobe link function? birdonarock Wrote: ------------------------------------------by mark@avolution - Adobe Premiere Pro CC

Re: Filter Instance versus Filter Copy - 11 years ago
I could have also nested the movie, and applied the sepia color correct to this, this simulating an adjustment layer. As there were three effects, desat, brightness and contrast (unique to each clip) and then the CC Sepia tone, the remove attributes, copy/paste attributes was not an option. Does FCP X have the option of instanced effects? I found this link in regards to what I needed tby mark@avolution - Café LA
Filter Instance versus Filter Copy - 11 years ago
When you copy the filter attributes from one clip to another, you are always creating two unique filters that are imdependant of each other, rather than instanced to each other. For example, In 3ds Max you have the option of instancing an effect (called a modifier in 3dsMax) or copying the effect. So, with an instanced effect (let's say a bend of 45 degrees along the x axis) applied toby mark@avolution - Café LA
Re: Blu-ray - 11 years ago
Another great thing about the Adobe Suite that it will work on the PC or Mac. (We only have FCP on the Mac, and Adobe Suite on the PC) So, we use FCP to edit,export a QT ProRes. Import the QT to Premiere, use Adode Link to Encore- and burn a blu-ray there.

Re: I have seen the future of editing - 11 years ago
The removing "ums" is treating the symptoms of poor language skills, rather than the disease- which is the use of correct diction in this day and age. I saw an ad for Future Shop here on Canadian TV, I believe and one of the quotes in the ad was "I learned how to text before I could write" -I would not be bragging about this!

Re: Andy's Timecode Generator - 11 years ago
I like your idea a whole lot. I ended up creating a slug, adding a timecode generator filter, then cropping the slug to the appropriate size. The timecode is actually used for Emergency Response Video time on the video, and acts as a digital clock of sorts. So, for example after the timer reached 10:00:00 the responders were all done. I will try your method. derekmok Wroteby mark@avolution - Café LA

Re: aja io and deck control with FCP 6.03 - 12 years ago
I am dsylexic sometimes, I meant to say. Rs-422. I think the problem may be that aja io 3.1 doesn't really support leopard, while 3.0 does. However, I have never uninstalled anything in OSX, as Windows has a "uninstall program". Here above might be my problem.... I will look up on th internet on how to unistall aja io 3.1.

When I set up RS-232 deck control in FCP 6.03, so the aja io I get the message "This computer does not have any serial ports matching those specified by the current device preset.

Re: Orienting footage shot vertically in FCP - 12 years ago
Now there are situations where you would generate a vertical movie on purpose.
