Re: Compressor - Error trying to open source media file. - 6 years agoDo the files open in QuickTime Player X? If QTX can't open it then that's an indication that it's not supported natively by AV Foundation.by Jon Chappell - Café LA - X Re: Duplicate clips with XML import - 7 years agoI always switch off writing XMP IDs to the media files and I've never had issues with this workflow.by Jon Chappell - Adobe Premiere Pro CC Re: Duplicate clips with XML import - 7 years agoHere's a way of importing without duplicating clips:by Jon Chappell - Adobe Premiere Pro CC Re: Cineon Glue Tools and FCPX 10.3? - 7 years agoI don't think such tools are possible with FCPX. Unlike in the QuickTime days, codec support has to be hard-coded into FCPX itself as far as I'm aware. You have two options: 1. Use Resolve as your NLE because it supports DPXs natively and can interpret them as clips. 2. An offline-online workflow where you generate offline QuickTime movies with timecode and then match them back to the DPby Jon Chappell - Café LA - X Re: Mixing frame rates – Offline and Online Edits - 7 years agoIf you transcoded Premiere would export a lot faster. If Premiere can just dump those frames directly into a new file without changing them it can export really fast. I rarely use filters on an offline cut so exports of a 90 min movie take about 6 minutes (mainly for the audio). Over time this could add up to a lot more time saved than the initial transcode cost you. But as you correctly identby Jon Chappell - Adobe Premiere Pro CC Re: FCPX & DPX, color grading IMAX film? - 7 years agoI think the question of which app you use is less important than how you're monitoring it. I'm assuming they want it in a P3 space, which means you would have to have a monitor capable of displaying that gamut.by Jon Chappell - Café LA - X Re: Mac upgrade question - 7 years agoBest to wait and see what ports the new one has if it's out by then. If it's just got USB-C you'll need adapters for almost everything. But for the current version I don't know if you'll need anything more than Thunderbolt to FireWire. Apple sells them for $30:by Jon Chappell - Café LA - X Re: Mac upgrade question - 7 years agoIt depends how long you can wait, as the current version is over a year old. But I have a friend with this iMac and it's pretty fast. The problem with waiting for the next thing is that there's always a new thing coming. If you need it now, buy it now. Current iMacs do not have FireWire ports and new iMacs will probably use USB-C, so you'd need adapters regardless of which one you chose.by Jon Chappell - Café LA - X Re: ProRes 422 (HQ) with Linear PCM Audio? - 8 years agoThat's correct - when people say "uncompressed" they are normally referring to Linear PCM.by Jon Chappell - Adobe Premiere Pro CC Re: HELP I'm getting this crash, Crash detected Video output - 8 years agoHi Ethan, Can you post the entire log please?by Jon Chappell - Avid Media Composer Re: HELP! FCPX 10.2.2 Crashes After Publishing Motion 4 Title with Motion 5 - 8 years agoSeeing as you're using Pro Maintenance Tools, can you check Plugin Manager to see if the motion template is listed? If so, you can delete it directly from Plugin Manager.by Jon Chappell - Café LA - X Re: Adobe CC still has issues... - 9 years agoXML still needs a lot of work. I exported an XML from FCP 7 the other day and was surprised that Premiere didn't even recognize the speed changes, so all of the retimed clips came in at 100% speed.by Jon Chappell - Adobe Premiere Pro CC Re: Viewing in FCP 7 while typing in Word - 9 years agoIf you have an iPad, we have an app called Cut Notes that allows you to make notes that are synced to timecode in FCP 7: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/cutnotes Another way would be to use Adobe Premiere, which has an option to not pause playback when you switch away from the app.by Jon Chappell - Café LA - X Re: FCPX export for Pro Tools - 9 years agoUnfortunately X2Pro is the only way at the moment. There is no native OMF/AAF export in FCPX.by Jon Chappell - Café LA - X Re: Creature of Comfort - Making The Move To X - 9 years agoAll that happens is it just moves it to a different folder. FCP 7 continues to work just fine and I run the both side-by-side without issues.by Jon Chappell - Café LA - X Re: Long export time for Image file - 9 years agoI generally create scrolling credits in After Effects and it takes about 20-30 mins to render out a 5 min scroll to ProRes. I've never done it in Premiere but 90 mins sounds far too long.by Jon Chappell - Adobe Premiere Pro CC Re: Audio not playing in timeline also another thing - 9 years agoFinder error -50 can occur when OS X thinks a disk or folder is in use. As it keeps occurring I'd recommend checking for apps running in the background like TechTool that may be locking up resources.by Jon Chappell - Adobe Premiere Pro CC Re: Premiere and Yosemite - 9 years agoI'd be interested to know the proportion of people with third-party SSDs who ran TRIM Enabler. I'm betting a lot of people didn't even know they should have been using it.by Jon Chappell - Adobe Premiere Pro CC Re: Audio Sync Software? - 9 years agoThe software you saw was probably PluralEyes: Premiere can do this too, as can FCPX, but PluralEyes tends to be a little more advanced than the built-in versions.by Jon Chappell - Café LA - X Re: Premiere stock count - 10 years agoI don't know a way of doing this other than with scripting.by Jon Chappell - Adobe Premiere Pro CC Re: data wrangling Arri Alexa Plus footage - 10 years agoGood tip, didn't know that was possible.by Jon Chappell - Café LA Re: data wrangling Arri Alexa Plus footage - 10 years agoForgot to mention the online workflow - just reconnect to the 4444 media in FCP 7. Then you can export an XML or EDL for grading.by Jon Chappell - Café LA Re: data wrangling Arri Alexa Plus footage - 10 years agoFCP 7 shouldn't have to render ProRes 4444 at all unless you add effects to it, but if you want to add LUTs (which I'd recommend) you'll need to create another copy of the media which could take up a lot of space and is probably better at a lower-bandwidth codec. We used ProRes LT, but in retrospect we probably would have been fine even with ProRes Proxy. On this particular movie the editorialby Jon Chappell - Café LA Re: Pro Res in FCP7 vs Premiere export - 10 years agoReference files are not supported by AV Foundation and it seems like they'll die with QuickTime.by Jon Chappell - Adobe Premiere Pro CC Re: Sharing Markers - 10 years agoYou can use a tool called EdiMarker to import markers into Pro Tools: However, it has its own marker format and currently Cut Notes is the only app to write to it. But if you're interested I can add it to Project Overview which would allow you to go straight from Premiere markers via FCP XML.by Jon Chappell - Adobe Premiere Pro CC Re: What is the immovable line in my timeline whose only effect is to cut off audio when sharing? - 10 years agoCan you post a screenshot?by Jon Chappell - Café LA - X Re: Creative Cloud Open Letter - 10 years agoNope, different versions work well side-by-side. It's something I've always appreciated as a developer.by Jon Chappell - Adobe Premiere Pro CC Re: Non internet connected edit systems - 10 years agoIn my experience these sorts of policies are enacted by people who know nothing at all about security. If they're worried about viruses, why are they using a USB stick to transmit the potential virus back from the upload station to the main edit bay? Also, a rogue employee is a more likely source of a footage leak than an outside hacker.by Jon Chappell - Café LA - X Re: Anyone like the FCP X update? - 10 years agoThanks, I might take a look at that when 10.9 becomes more stable.by Jon Chappell - Café LA - X Re: Anyone like the FCP X update? - 10 years agoJust curious, what's the hack for running it on an older Mac?by Jon Chappell - Café LA - X |
