Re: Need help down converting HD file - 14 years agoConvert to ProRes.... in Compressor or even in the QT Player. Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: Recovering Deleted Media - 14 years agoDrivesavers- but this will cost $1,000 to 2,000. You pretty much pay up or consider it lesson learned at this point. Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: How to avoid render times - 14 years agoDrop shadows eat up a lot of computational time- personally I wouldn't start working in massive amounts of effects work until the cut has settled. Are you using RT-Safe or RT-Extreme? Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: Need to know how to use .eps files from Apple Certification - 14 years agoPhotoshop that should be a big help- it can convert EPS to more web friendly formats like JPG or GIF. and oh by the way- making it EPS is probably a fair test of whether or not you're ready to be an Apple Pro yet... Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: .WMV - WTF!!!!!! - 14 years agoJust a suggestion but we're pros on this forum. Everyone has some frustration to deal with but seeing someone take the time to type out Whisky Tango Foxtrot is a turn off... Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: FCP 5 and d90 - 14 years agoAIC is the next best thing to ProRes if you have no way to get ProRes. DVCPROHD knocks you down to non-full raster HD for no particular reason. It's fine if you shot DVCPROHD but personally I think AIC is a better solution if you don't need it. Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: FCP 5 and d90 - 14 years agoI'd suggest first converting the footage to something more FCP friendly. Most DSLRs shoot H.264- ok for viewing, not so much for editing. So open in QT Player or Compressor and convert to another format. You're on FCP 5, I'd suggest the Apple Intermediate Codec, since you won't have access to ProRes. Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: Film to video transfer. - 14 years ago1080/24p ProRes would be the simplest and would give you plenty of quality to do a decent enough film blowup- assuming a quality lab and all. Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: Strange one, new FCP/Snow: FCP or Motion won't start when network connected... - 14 years agoAre you running the same program on another computer by any chance? That's a licensing violation. Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: Apple New Releases - 14 years agoMac Minis make great media servers for the home- sorry Apple TV... Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: Recommendation - Which Camcorder for BrotherInLaw Bday Present ($1k to $2k)? - 14 years agoRe: Best Buy- Yeah I didn't mean go there to ask for assistance I mean go there and check out what cameras they have for the price point you want to hit. Anything AVCHD from Sony or Panasonic from 1,000 to 2,000 is likely to fit the bill. that said you can also pick up a used HVX200 for almost that much these days so is it a point and shoot camera or a movie making starter kit? Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: Need some editor/post processing advice - 14 years agoThere is no AVCINTRA 100 on the 170 so don't worry about that. I'd shoot 1080/24p, hard to find a world in which that can not be put to use somehow. And shoot the 24pA mode in 1080 for easy pulldown removal. Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: Recommendation - Which Camcorder for BrotherInLaw Bday Present ($1k to $2k)? - 14 years agoYeah a trip to Best Buy would be a good call- all you need to know is right there... Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: Sony SxS footage looks like crap after edited on FCP - 14 years agoWhy 720x486? You can edit that in native 1080/60 XDCAM EX with FCP 6 and then when you're done export to SD. Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: Flash - 14 years agoAnd 'ripping' is such a violent word, let's call it something more pleasant like lifting or sampling....by NoahK - Café LA Re: Flash - 14 years agoI'm always a bit leery when someone says rip- if it's for paid work make sure you are not breaking a copyright for a client. If they get sued, you get sued too... Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: Quicktime Pro X with Final Cut Studio? - 14 years agoYou sure QT7 is not still hiding on your HD- it should be. Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: Installing FC7 not upgrading over existing - 14 years agoIn theory wiping from scratch is the way to go, in practice I haven't bothered for years. Zero problems.... Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: FCP 6.0.5 suddenly demands a serial number! - 14 years agoYup- they will have your info at Apple if it's a legit copy. Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: downloaded XDCAM decoder corrupted my system - 14 years agoCheck with the decoding software maker- they should send you proper uninstall instructions. I'd guess some sort of plugin is still in your QT player prefs or whatever. Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: DV Matte Pro vs. Veescope - 14 years agoIs it $40? Website says $100. Also looks like it hasn't been updated in a long time, unfortunately neither has DV Matte Pro. Still waiting for that killer app for FCP compositing. -Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: What rate timeline for DVCPRO HD (720p60) clips? - 14 years agoWhy offline- just edit DVCPROHD. Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: Interesting fonts for video - 14 years agoThose are cool fonts- but a lot of them will still fall apart on video.

ProRes HQ and up will stutter on an average system hard drive. So there you go... Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: Audio hookups w/FCP setup - 14 years agoWell there's the rub then. These things don't fix themselves for free. Or were you hoping to get a miracle? Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: After 'send to fcp' from Color, FCP is very slow. - 14 years agoWell what are you sending back to Color- what format? Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: Audio hookups w/FCP setup - 14 years agoWhy not get a new audio box? MOTU, Presonus, M-Audio, etc. Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: Don't use Safe Boot when installing FCS 3 - 14 years agoJust out of curiosity where did you get that as a recommendation? FCS and pretty much every app you'll ever install in a Mac is designed and tested to be simply run as is with no special prep. And even going back to OS 6 or whatever I can remember that's been the way to do it. Some apps prefer to have some or all applications shut down first but other than that you should follow the apps' instrucby NoahK - Café LA Re: normalizing audio?? - 14 years agoI find it kind of not useful because it's basically a fire and forget- you can't undo it or see it's effect on your timeline on individual tracks. A Send to Soundtrack session is far more accurate. Noahby NoahK - Café LA |
