Re: Recapture - 17 years agoWell, I guess I'm really lucky. I just recaptured one of the sequences in the movie and it worked. I had two glitches. 1. Two times during the batch capture, an error message came up saying there was a timecode error and it wouldn't capture. After freaking out, I ejected the tape, popped it back in, hit batch capture and for some reason it worked the second time around. 2.

When I apply a Digital Heaven subtitle or a color matte from the generator on the top video track, the footage in the canvas gets a black haze over it. The resolution gets worse. What is this?by ERIC B - Café LA Mattes - 17 years agoUsing latest FCP/G4 There's a feature on my Sony DV Cam that says 16:9wide. When I import the footage into FCP it comes out elongated until I go into item properties and hit anamorphic which stretches it out into a nice letterbox look. When I use footage that I shot without the 16:9wide function on the camera, I import it into FCP then add the widescreen matte from the video filters.

However, when I add a widescreen matte, the video will not fade in or out, only the audio. Any advice?

Half way through, there's a break and the time code starts over at 00:00... I label that as REEL 90 - B and capture the remaining footage from Reel 90 So I edit that footage into my movie, some labeled REEL 90 and some labeled REEL 90 - B (all footage from the same tape) When I go back to do a recapture in high rez, will Finalby ERIC B - Café LA Looking to launch a website for my film - 17 years agoAnyone with some experience please contact meby ERIC B - Jobs Music licensing HELP - 17 years agoI need help with music licensing for an Elvis documentary.by ERIC B - Jobs Re: Transition alignment - 17 years agoTried that.

I'm just not sure how to get it into my canvas, other than opening it in the viewer and overwriting it above the clip on the timeline that I want to start working with. Any suggestions?by ERIC B - Café LA Crop/Distort - 17 years agoHey y'all, Is there some sort of grid that I can open in my canvas to help me make sure the different smaller "boxes" of video are the exact same size?
