Thanks, Richardby RRKPL - Café LA Re: How to get Illustrator file imported into Motion, then exported to Final Cut Pro - 17 years agoHi, Mark! We tried the directions that you shared with us, but it is still blurry. Do you have any further ssuC suggestions that we might try? The curved lines in the artwork come out jaggedy. Thanks, Barbaraby RRKPL - Motion Re: How to get Illustrator file imported into Motion, then exported to Final Cut Pro - 17 years agoHi Mark! Thank you for your quick response. I saved Illustrator as an Adobe PDF file , opened it in Motion as a new project, used custom preset settings of 720x480 pixel aspect and NTSCDV anamorphic with no background. Then I exported it into Final Cut Pro as a Quicktime movie. It was still very blurry. Would it be possible to give me more detailed instructions? I would really really appreciatby RRKPL - Motion Re: Best graphics program for FCP - need help! - 17 years agoWow, and I thought it was a matter of just picking the right export scenario. I just spent a long day in edit and am mostly brain dead but will reread all this in the AM. Thanks very much for the time and help. I'll let you know what I come up with. Richardby RRKPL - Café LA Best graphics program for FCP - need help! - 17 years agoHave just finished a project using Illustrator to create borders and graphic elements for a FCP. It has been a true nightmare with vector graphics not converting to smooth images in video. So...my question - what is the best program to use on the MAC to create type, graphic elements, backgrounds and other illustrator type art that will convert easily to video? Or, am I doing something wrong and iby RRKPL - Café LA Using Illustrator CS2 Files in FCP - 17 years agoI am trying to use some Yellow Submarine / Peter Max type borders that were created in Illustrator CS2 and output as <save for web PNG> files in a FCP 5.04. When the files are viewed the black lines around borders and flowers are all jaggie. (almost like all that was being imported was the screen image). Is there a proper way to import illustrator documents into FCP? I guess I could use a cby RRKPL - Café LA Video Noise Reduction - 17 years agoI have about 12 hours of DV concert footage from a multi camera shoot. One of the cameras was way underexposed and when I up the gain in FCP I get quite a bit of noise. Are there any good noise filter plugins out there? i use a still camera app called Noise Ninja that does an amazing job and was wondering if there was a similar type of FCP filter. Thanks, Richard 2K-Plus ? Atlantaby RRKPL - Café LA Re: will Digidesign 02 rack work with STP - 18 years agoWell I guess the best workflow in the meantime is to record the voice overs on Pro Tools and then import the wave files into Soundtrack Pro and add the music and effects. I was wanting to replace the G4 on that workstation with a G5 and do the voice overs right to Soundtrack but I guess I'll have to wait till Digi supports Tiger. Thanks for the helpful info. By-the-way. When the drivers come outby RRKPL - Soundtrack Pro will Digidesign 02 rack work with STP - 18 years agoCan the Digidesign 02 rack work as an I/O device with soundtrack pro? If so what drivers are needed for 10.4.1. I know we can't us the 02 rack with tiger and pro tools yet. It would be great if we could use the 02 for voice overs in soundtrack rather than having to buy an additional input device Thanks, Richardby RRKPL - Soundtrack Pro FCP5 Multicam Edit Question - 18 years agoJust started playing with multicam in FCP5. It seems like it is set up for live type editing as in directing a live shoot and calling out the camera switching. Is there a way to scrub the audio till a specific beat is reached and the with the play head paused switch the camera angle? (as in cutting to music) The best I've found is to cut with the track playing and then go back with the roller tooby RRKPL - Café LA Re: Apple, why Intel, not AMD? - 18 years agoThis is from a conversation I was involved in on another board but I feel it is the most relevant aspect of the Apple switch to us Pro Ap users running PPC Macs over the next two years. ?With the X86 Pro boxes coming out last in 2007, programs like FCP which depend on Altivec which wouldn?t port to X86 (please correct me if I?m wrong) run into a development catch 22. FCP is seeing significant reby RRKPL - Café LA Re: Unable to print HDV to tape with FCP5 and HRV-Z1 - 18 years agoFrom what I understand you don't get video back via the firewire like you do with DV (kind of a pain since I don't trust our 2nd 23" display for color correction even though we can watch the video on it) . I know you can buy a card that will let you do this. I found that if you leave video output set to DV when the track isn't running you get a still frame on our external monitor and that isby RRKPL - Café LA Re: Making The Sky Blue Suggestions Needed - 18 years agoThanks for all the input! We set up got the actors in place and it started to rain (love those tropical storms). Will now get one more chance and I'm sure the sky will still be gray so will give it a try in post. Thanks again!!! Richardby RRKPL - Café LA Re: Unable to print HDV to tape with FCP5 and HRV-Z1 - 18 years agoI have had no trouble printing to a Z1U. I am not near my computer but I will post the settings tomorrow. BTW I read somewhere that record was disabled in some E versions of cameras because of tax reasons. That's not the case in the Z1E is it? Richardby RRKPL - Café LA Re: HDV in FCP 5 ...slow.......??? - 18 years agoHi Alan, I wouldn't think the processor difference would have that much effect either. I've always believed ram is a good way to speed things up and it's not to expensive so it may be worth a try. I've had no problem printing back to the Z1 but I found the device control settings on the (I think audio/device tab) in prefs has to be set to Sony and I've had it not switch over when I've changed frby RRKPL - Café LA Re: HDV in FCP 5 ...slow.......??? - 18 years agoHi Alan, I've been editing HDV from an Z1 and haven't noticed that big a performance hit (G5 2.5Ghz x2, 2.5Ghz RAM). Does real time RT work for desolves? I notice that conforming befor printing to tape can take a while but just edits with transitions go fairly fast. Are you capturing with the 1080i easy setup?
