Re: Promise Pegasus RAID Storage with Thunderbolt - 10 years ago
I purchased an R4 8TB unit along with a 27" imac and Retina MBP in December/January. The unit was a simple plug & play and has been stellar at keeping up with live capture of 1080i prores files through our BlackMagic Ultra Studio 3D SDI capture, until Monday when I noticed Drive 1 had failed. A quick ... well ok it was an hour... call to Promise Tech Support and a replacement drive wasby Steven Forster - Café LA - X
Re: iPad Control Console for FCP 7/X and PPro - 10 years ago
Have any of you used a Cintiq? Just curious as I'm getting ready to upgrade a couple of the machines here and since I will upgrade the tablets as well... well it seems like an interesting concept.by Steven Forster - Café LA
Re: sourcing from YouTube - 10 years ago
I use FireFox and a plug-in called Download Helper. Has worked great over the years and I don't think I've ever had something not download.by Steven Forster - Café LA

OT: DVD Authoring... What are we using now? - 11 years ago
Hello All... It's been a while since I've had to author a DVD, but was just thrown a small project requiring a bit of menu work. I still have DVD Studio Pro... but with it's apparent demise... what program should I be evaluating? Thanks!by Steven Forster - Café LA - X
Re: Digital8 audio out of sync - 11 years ago
I have had this problem with Digital 8 if there were timecode breaks (start stop). Drove me batty as it was one of those freebee favor jobs that I ended up spending way too much time on because I couldn't capture the whole tape. Just capture around the breaks if there are any.by Steven Forster - Café LA - X
Re: Help with removing static please? - 11 years ago
Not to get too into the laws with this Finra... but do you actually "own" the copyright to the piece? Not just purchasing the actual CD, but the music itself with permission to use it. If not... NO... it is NOT legal... doesn't matter what form the media comes from. There are a lot of people that use similar tracks for "temp" music in their productions, but that's all itby Steven Forster - Café LA
Re: Help with removing static please? - 11 years ago
That sounds like file corruption of some sort. You MIGHT be able to fix that with CEDAR or another high end system... I'm an old Sonic Solutions user from way back... but that's not a cheap or easy proposition. Have you tried a different version of the song? Steveby Steven Forster - Café LA
Re: Running Parallels anyone? - 11 years ago
I guess the question is... what are you wanting/needing the Windows OS for? I do use it on all of my machines for different reasons. Mostly for running PowerPoint in a Windows environment (because of some cross platform incompatibilities), but I've played with some swf conversion programs & Wirecast. Our company manufactures a highly graphical intense 3d imaging program that runs fine on Parby Steven Forster - Café LA
Re: Dropped Frames on a MultiCam Edit using MacbookPro - 11 years ago
Interesting.... Using the Aja System Test... the video partition does a Read/Write test at a consistent 55 MB/s while the main partition with programs etc., is around 111 MB/s. I did move the project to my older machine... it was worse.... never mind... maybe I'm on acid remembering that it worked on that machine.... maybe I was editing off of an external.... I was hoping that having the 720by Steven Forster - Café LA
Re: Dropped Frames on a MultiCam Edit using MacbookPro - 11 years ago
Strypes, That's what I was thinking...but it's odd that it works fine on my older machine set up the same way with a 5400 rpm drive. It's tough to edit with an external on an airplane.by Steven Forster - Café LA
Dropped Frames on a MultiCam Edit using MacbookPro - 11 years ago
I'm doing my first MultiCam edit on a new (December 2010) 15" MacBookPro not my first MultiCam edit but my first on this machine. I'm getting a Dropped Frame Alert and playback stops often when switching between the angles. (I did not experience this on my previous machine.)

Re: distorted topped-out audio crunches - 12 years ago
Reid... me thinks your post got lost in all the stand-up I just happen to have a project I need to fix... what would be your favorite program right now for that? Also... Thank you for getting me started in the world of digital editing so many years ago with my SS system. How I miss it.by Steven Forster - Café LA

Re: Problems with G-Drives? - 13 years ago
I had this problem as well... just before leaving or the Holiday weekend.... don't think that was a stress free weekend away... It would come up and unmount intermittently and Diskwarrior wouldn't repair the drive (heart pounding) Remembering a thread somewhere, I took the drive out of the case, put it into one of my MacPro's and all has been well since. I did put the drive back in the case forby Steven Forster - Café LA
Re: FLASH conversion for editing. - 13 years ago
Oh Derek believe me!!!!!! The problem is this content also is part of the global Learning Management System and all of that is created in Articulate and Captivate. I just get the content for repurposing like for iPod use. Oh and did I mention that they are still using office 2000?????? I am only 1 of 4 users allowed to use Macs in the organization and even then they have tried to force us alby Steven Forster - Café LA
Re: FLASH conversion for editing. - 13 years ago
Wolfskier, The company I'm currently working for uses Captivate and Articulate to create their training material... no way of getting around it with another program when 300 users are creating materials. Unfortunately, since it puts it into a format that uses numerous files for playback, I have had to do screen captures of that... using Snapz Pro. Depending on your final output, it may be aby Steven Forster - Café LA

Re: Matching audio taped on a speaker phone (UGH) and live - 13 years ago
Pat, I use a variety of "Digital Hybrids" (phone patch unit), I have an ancient Getner SPH3, a couple of Telos One units a couple of Comrex DH30... You can also get a Telephone Coupler, but I find the quality not as clean as a hybrid that will separate the outbound from the inbound allowing greater control of each source. Check out BSW or similar for the many options. This doesn't helby Steven Forster - Café LA
Re: Matching audio taped on a speaker phone (UGH) and live - 13 years ago
aaaahhhh... Audio.... the great equalizer :-) Pat, unfortunately without hearing a sample it's difficult to give some direction on your question, but to be blunt... it is what it is and you need to figure out how to best incorporate what you have unless you can re-record the interview. I do this all the time with live vs. telephone interviews, although NOT with a speaker phone. Are they laby Steven Forster - Café LA
Re: codec not found - 13 years ago
Jim, I'm not sure if you ever discovered the solution but I think I just did... I was having the same issue with a ProRes HQ file giving me the same error. This was a quick tail edit only so I didn't take the time to set up the project as I normally would... I wasn't really paying attention to settings (shame on me). I looked at the Sequence Settings and noticed under the Video Processing taby Steven Forster - Café LA

Re: Sequence setting advice needed for editing AVIs from Canon PowerShot - 13 years ago

Soundtrack Pro DSR11 Firewire Out - 13 years ago
I apologize for the double posting, but as the STP Forum seems to be light on use... I'm hoping someone here might be able to give some direction. I'm not sure when this changed, but I can no longer send audio out of STP to the DSR11. I have audio out when using FCP I have verified all of the connections I've checked that it is sending surround (as per Apple Doc) Repaired Permissionsby Steven Forster - Café LA

Re: .psd shifts on fade - 13 years ago
well........ not a clue..... I've tried it all.... So to finish the project I ended up exporting the movie without the end fade... opening that in a new sequence and creating the fade there... I have to use this graphic on a number of upcoming projects so I will have to figure this one out. I'm going to go back and recreate the graphic and see what happens. Thanks Everyone :-)by Steven Forster - Café LA
