Newbie problem: was importing in ProRes 422, now h.264 - 12 years agoHi: After years on FCP 1-7, I'm trying to find my way in FCPX. Phew! I don't think I changed anyhting, at least not intentionally, but now when I bring a clip in, from SD cards which I imported from before, I now notice in the clip info that it's h.264 whereas the same clip previously was ProRes 422. What happened?! How can I get back to ProRes? When I click on a h.264 clip and select &quby raf622 - Café LA - X possible to import iDVD themes into DVDSP4? - 15 years agoHi, and thanks in advance for any insight... Is it possible to import an iDVD theme into DVDSP4? I really like iDVD theme in 6.0 called "Reflection". Is there a way to being it into DVDP? The DVDSP templates don't have much choice. Is there a site for purchasing DVDSP templates? The Google search I did came up with nothing moer recent than 2006. Thanks much, Reuvenby raf622 - DVD Studio Pro Re: Replace movie in DVDSP - rookie question - 15 years agoDear Andy: Thanks a lot. Worked fine, and I'll check out the DVDSP forum. Regards, Reuvenby raf622 - Café LA Replace movie in DVDSP - rookie question - 15 years agoThanks in advance for answering a simple question... I'm making my 1st DVDSP4 project (MBP, FCP 6.0, DVDSP4), and went to the Apple store for help. They walked me through taking a 23GB QT movie, which I exported as a self-contained movie from FCP, and import it into DVDSP (18 chapters). They then helped link all the chapters to the video track, etc, and as the total got close to 4.7GB, the gby raf622 - Café LA Rookie Q: I send from FCP to STP, but I can't save - 15 years agoHi, and thanks in advance for any help. I was in the Apple store, and unfortunately got a great tutorial on THEIR computer instead of my MBP (OS 10.4.11), and I can't figure out what I must be doing wrong. Using FCP Studio 2, control-click on clip, choose "send to STP Audio FIle Project, it opens in STP, I do removal of hiss, or Set Noise Print, then Reduce Noise, and it sounds great. Bby raf622 - Soundtrack Pro Update to Quicktime Pro 7.6.2 - good idea or bad? - 15 years agoHi Everyone: I posted an earlier problem about losing all my render files, and the advise was to update from FCP 6.0 to 6.0.6. I haven't done ANY software updates, so I'm on a MBP, 4GB RAM, 10.4.11, and FCP 6.0, and QT Pro 7.2.0. I was told by the Apple help line to do a software update of everything. That would get me updated firmware (EFI and SMC) as well as QT Pro 7.6.2. They told me tby raf622 - Café LA Re: Render problem - HUGE - 15 years agoDear Gerald: Thanks for your previous reply. I've got a question about updating (not upgrading, I'm told): I haven't done ANY software updates, so I'm in 10.4.11, and FCP 6.0, and QT Pro 7.2.0. I was told by the Apple help line to do a software update of everything. That would get me updated firmware (EFI and SMC) as well as QT Pro 7.6.2. They told me that after that installed, I couldby raf622 - Café LA Re: Render problem - HUGE - 15 years agoDear Derek (and everyone who replied): THanks so much. I used Render Manager and got rid of about 40GB of renders from all 11 rough cuts, and am now re-rendering. I also will upgrade to 10.5 and FCP 6.0.2 You are all great and tremendously helpful. Thanks, Reuvenby raf622 - Café LA Render problem - HUGE - 15 years agoHi everyone: I REALLY need some help. I'm working on a nearly 2 hour documentary (MBP, 10.4.11, 4GB RAM, FCP 6.0), back and forth between several projects, always re-set the proper external FWHD's. Just opened up the project a moment ago, and since the last time I closed it (last night) nothing has changed. HOWEVER... Every single clip that has any filter or a move now shows up as UNRENDby raf622 - Café LA Re: OT- Voice Over Artists - 15 years agoI used www.voice123.com and have been extremely happy with them. I sent a few lines of a script, and had 100 demos in about an hour. A lot of talent range, but the good ones are great.by raf622 - Café LA re-capture footage and keep markers on clip in Browser - 15 years agoThanks in advance for any help. A client gave me a bad dub of some footage, I digitized it, and then added about 20 markers with descriptions of the footage (from inside the Browser). They just found the original footage (same time code), and so I want to re-capture that, but also need to preserve the markers and ad them to the new (exact same) footage. is there a way to do that? I've searcby raf622 - Café LA "building list of used media" - 16 years agoHi all, and thanks in advance... I've Googled this, looked in FAQ Wiki, and in LAFCPUG itself, no help. I've got a project that has several sequences, and shares a drive with one other project. I've got one project open, red lines through only the 5 clips I want to capture, yet when I start batch capture, I get this box that says "building list of used media", and flashes lots anby raf622 - Café LA Re: HELP! BAD AUDIO - 16 years agoThanks everyone. I appreciate all the help. In the end, I just used music to mask it.by raf622 - Café LA HELP! BAD AUDIO - 16 years agoHi, and thanks in advance: I'm under the gun here, and have a terrible audio problem. I had to shoot an interview in a room where the building engineer said he could turn off the air conditioning. HE COULDN'T !!! I tried every audio filter in the 2 effects folders, searched FAQ here (and don't know how to use Soundtrack Pro). I'm desperate with not so much time before I deliver.

Regards, Richardby raf622 - Café LA Can I re-connect thumbnails in Timeline? - 16 years agoHi: and thanks in advance. I did a dumb thing: I opened a FCP6 project without the external HD connected, so I quit, hooked up the drive, and re-opened. All is OK, except some of the thumbnails (maybe 10 out of 100's) in the beginning of the timeline have disappeared, and in their place is that ugly red "Media Offline", but the media is actually there. Nothing is missing but tby raf622 - Café LA Re: Using FCP 5.1.4, can I upgrade to Motion 3 only? - 17 years agoI'm running FCP 6.0 with QT 7.2 and I don't have any problems. Does that mean I can't go to 6.0.2 without going to QT 7.3?by raf622 - Café LA Re: Using FCP 5.1.4, can I upgrade to Motion 3 only? - 17 years agoHi everyone: it's Richard, who started this thread this morning. Good news; I upgraded to FCS2, kept QT 7.2, all seems to be working just fine, including the project I'm working on. Thanks again for all your help.by raf622 - Café LA Re: Using FCP 5.1.4, can I upgrade to Motion 3 only? - 17 years agoMy mistake. It turns out my QT is actually 7.2, running FCP 5.1.4 just fine. Can I continue to run QT 7.2 with FCP2?by raf622 - Café LA Re: Using FCP 5.1.4, can I upgrade to Motion 3 only? - 17 years agoHi Tom: thanks for your response. I'll install the entire thing, but what about the upgrade to QT 7.3? Is it OK? Thanks, Richardby raf622 - Café LA Using FCP 5.1.4, can I upgrade to Motion 3 only? - 17 years agoHi, and thanks in advance for any help. I'm on a new Macbook Pro Intel, OSX 10.4.11, 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo, 4GB, 667 MHz, Quicktime 7 Pro (7.2). I'm working with FCP Studio 1 (FCP 5.1.4, Motion 2, etc), and I bought the FCP 2 upgrade, but I'm a little concerned about upgrading the entire studio to 2, since I'm in the middle of a (small) project, and I've read some problems with QT 7.3. My quesby raf622 - Café LA Re: Labeling clips in Timeline - Rookie question - 17 years agoHi DEREK: thanks so much for you quick reply. Never heard of "make independent", but after looking it up on FCP Help, I think its too tricky to do. Instead of color labeling the possibly good clips, I guess I'll use the rather inelegant method of taking the candidate good ones and move them up to V2. Thanks, Richardby raf622 - Café LA Labeling clips in Timeline - Rookie question - 17 years agoThanks in advance. I've searched this forum and FCP help, but haven't found what I need. Editing on FCP 5.1.4 on Macbook Pro. I captured a 15 minute clip with, say, 40 interviews. I then created a new sequence in the Timeline of, say, 20 candidate useable snippets. Now, I want to label 10 or so of them as one of the 5 color labels, but once I label one of the snippets in the timeline, Aby raf622 - Café LA Re: FCP window Layout - 17 years agoWow! Thanks so much! I can sleep better tonight. I scoured the manual and couldn't find it, even after entering "Restore Default Window Layout". I appreciate it.by raf622 - Café LA Re: FCP window Layout - 17 years agoHi: What exactly does "Control-U" do? It fixed a problem I had, by getting the Canvas and Viewer to get rid of big grey bars on top and bottom, but the FCP Manual doesn't have any info on it.
