Re: Wooops! Pixelated Andy Warhol Look! - 11 years agoFunny thing. Once the QT file is sent off to Youtube, it looks normal. It's only when viewing the QT file directly on my computer that it's wonky.by DanKuckes - Café LA Wooops! Pixelated Andy Warhol Look! - 11 years agoRecently when I look at old quicktime movies I've made, they are pixelated in very few colors kind of an Andy Warhol look. They never looked that way when I made them years ago. I just made a new Quicktime with the same results. What's goin on? How do I fix it?by DanKuckes - Café LA Re: DVD to FCP - 13 years agoWell, my friend says he shot it on a 10 yr old camera, not a digital camera. He burned that to a DVD player, and that disk plays on my mac, but when I transfer it to MPEG Streamclip, I get no audio, no video, just a 13 minute timeline. So, what are our options?by DanKuckes - Café LA Re: DVD to FCP - 13 years agoNo, it's not a commercial DVD, but one that my friend burned and wants edited. It is entirely content which he produced. Thanks for that link, Ben King. I'll try that.by DanKuckes - Café LA DVD to FCP - 13 years agoI'm trying to bring footage from a DVD into FCP. It doesn't seem to be that straightforward. One option I've found online is called "mac the ripper." Have any of you used this freeware? Do you recommend it, or is there a better option?by DanKuckes - Café LA Re: Brightening Video - 13 years agoThat's the one I did a year ago. I brightened the footage at about 29 seconds, and I think maybe that at about 20 sec. I'll post the new one when I get it done. Thanks strypes.by DanKuckes - Café LA Brightening Video - 13 years agoPerhaps a year ago, I found a tutorial to brighten underexposed video. I think I found it on this site. My best recollection was that it involved stacking the identical clip, and reducing the opacity in Motion. It worked great. I seem to have forgotten some critical step, however, and have been unable to find that tutorial again with the search feature. Could anyone point me back to it or remiby DanKuckes - Café LA Re: capture presets - 14 years agoI actually did take a class during which I often had issues that neither the instructor nor lab techs knew how to fix. In many ways, this forum is a better resource. I have looked at the manual within final cut. Sometimes it says "go to the (fill in the blank)" But I don't necessarily know how to navigate to that thing it's refferring to.by DanKuckes - Café LA Re: capture presets - 14 years agoThank you. Is there a trick to knowing where to navigate? I often read in the manual what to do, but have trouble finding the function described.by DanKuckes - Café LA capture presets - 14 years agoI apologize for such a greenhorn question. I did do a search first. I don't often deal with capture presets and have forgotten how to navigate to it. I get the following message whenI try to use "capture now" "attempt to capture with no video device selected. please select video device in capture presets" So how do I get to capture presets?by DanKuckes - Café LA browser missing (soundtrack) - 15 years agoCurrently this is an issue in Soundtrack. Actually, right now, it's both browser(or is it called library in soundtrack?) and the video window missing. I think I have had simmilar issues in FCP, but don't remember how to get it back. The project opens with only the timeline.by DanKuckes - Soundtrack Pro Re: Avi Files. Audio good. No Vid. - 15 years agoTo clarify: these are files I dragged from a folder on the desktop created by the camera. My first attempt, using capture, was also not successful. It appears that the camera is not a "controllable device" and I'm not sure how to do an easy setup with this camera, or if this is possible.by DanKuckes - Café LA Avi Files. Audio good. No Vid. - 15 years agoI'm bringing AVI files into Final Cut from an RCA small wonder camera. Audio plays OK. No picture. Just a white screen. Same thing happens if I bring files into iMovie. Video is Ok on camera display or transfering to vcr.by DanKuckes - Café LA video audio link - 15 years agomy audio and video of a clip no longer seem to be linked to one another, even when the icon for linking is green. I use ripple roll a lot, and it doesn't work. Whats up with this?by DanKuckes - Café LA Re: Quicktime Pro Upgrade required? - 15 years agoIt says something about a missing file. I wasn't sure what that meant, but you may be right. I don't remember seing an option for self contained or not, but I'll look again. Thanks.by DanKuckes - Café LA Quicktime Pro Upgrade required? - 15 years agoI have Final Cut Express and Quicktime on a 2 yr old imac. I think this may be the first time I've tried to save a qt movie to disc. Since I am not on the internet at home, I need to save it this way to go to another computer and post it on u-tube. I have been able to export a qt movie, saved to disk, but it can't be opened. Then I tried dragging the fce file into i-movie, then convert it toby DanKuckes - Café LA Re: FCP and MacBook - 17 years agoMike Watson, How hard have you pushed your macBook? How big a project? Have you done any graphics and effects on it? I think I heard that the dual core processors in the higher cost computers are important. (apparently not vital)by DanKuckes - Café LA Re: FCP and MacBook - 17 years agoI've heard that one trick when working with a lesser computer is to capture in 240x320, do the edit+effects in this codec, requiring less time and power. Later you can recapture in 720x480 when happy with the project. I don't have details, I haven't tried it yet, perhaps someone else on this site has. I don't know, Mack Truck, how ambitious you are about graphics and effects, this seems tby DanKuckes - Café LA older version of FCP - 17 years agoIs there a way to load a file from a newer version of FCP to an older one?by DanKuckes - Café LA Fcp can't find file in expected location, WONT accept file where I show it to be. - 17 years agoAfter going from one computer to another, I get the following message: Can't find file The file was not in the expected location /Users/dankuckes/Desktop/KuckesHoldupNov26B Do you want to Skip, Find or Cancel? I indicate find, then point it to the place that it is in my drive as: KuckesHoldupNov26B This is the same file. Fcp doesn't accept it. I've tried saving it to the desktop,by DanKuckes - Café LA Re: audio tracks block each other - 17 years agoThanks, Derek and Nick Both of your replies fixed part of the problem. 1 of my instrumental audio tracks was too hot. Increasing # of RT audio tracks helped the other problem, and will help more as I add drums and brass tracks. I have rendered parts of the audio, but it does not always prompt me to do so.by DanKuckes - Café LA audio tracks block each other - 17 years agoI have 18 audio tracks, and my main tracks (1+2) for dialogue seem to be blocked until one of the music tracks ends. I tried re-copying the tracks into another copy of my sequence, and got the dialogue back but lost one of the music tracks. power mac G5 model 7,2 cpu power pc970 (2.2) 2 cpus cpu speed 1.8GHz L2 cache 512 kb/cpu 512 MB mem bus speed 900 MHz OS X 10.4.8 dual 1.8 MB dby DanKuckes - Café LA |
