OT_SuperMeet - 16 years agoAny news from the SuperMeet I was hoping to see FCP Studio 3 yesterday? Thanks, Gualexby Gualex - Café LA XML Export - 16 years agoHi All: I am working on a sequence using ProRes, I need to export an XML to a Smoke, we are having a problem reading the XML as the Smoke reads it as 8 Bit instead of 10 Bit. I tried editing the XMl file with Text edit but then the Smoke doesn't recognize the file anymore. Any ideas as how to tell the XMl it is 10 Bit? Thanks, Gualexby Gualex - Café LA Render errors - 16 years agoI am new to color and doing some tests to use it on a real project. My first renders came out strange. They are slip horizontally at the middle of the frame and then the bottom part is slip vertically were the left side should be in the right side and vice-versa. Is this a common error, what should I do to fix this, Thanks, Gualexby Gualex - Color OT_Red Camera workflow 2 - 16 years agoHi Kevin and all: I red the Pdf and it sure helps but I am still puzzled. The client is determined on providing QT at 720X405 23.98 with synced audio. I need to finish NTSC 720x486 29.97 (not letterboxed). How should I do this? Should I cut the 30sec spots at 23.98 and then do the pull-down? Would this be a time stretch or is there a plug in to do it? Should I ask for the origby Gualex - Café LA Re: OT_Red Camera workflow - 16 years agoHi Kevin: I red the Pdf and it sure helps but I am still puzzled.

Gualexby Gualex - Café LA OT_Red Camera workflow - 16 years agoHi All: I have a project that is going to be shot with the Red Camera. I am on reduser.net and have being doing as much research as I can on the web, but I was curious if anyone on the list has had hands on experience with different work-flows and would be willing to share their good or bad thought about it. Thanks, Gualexby Gualex - Café LA Re: How to tell if a file and or sequence is 10bit or 8Bit - 16 years agoI tried sequence settings, but it only tells you if it will render (video processing tab) in 8bit or 10bit, I don't see where I can see my sequence settings as far as bit depth. Thanks Gualexby Gualex - Café LA Re: How to tell if a file and or sequence is 10bit or 8Bit - 16 years agoI tried that too, no luck. I even tried After Effects but no luck there either. I am about to do a job that will be shot on the red Camera and I want to get Apple ProRes 10bit files for SD finish but I can't seem to get the info neither in reduser.net nor in FCP forums Thanks for your help Gualexby Gualex - Café LA Re: How to tell if a file and or sequence is 10bit or 8Bit - 16 years agoHi Loren, Command-9 doesn't give me that info. I need 10Bit because we are doing extreme color correction in color and it really helps.

I got digital files that are 1280 x1080 upper Odd DVCPRO HD 1060i. The problem I am having is that they look good on my FCP Canvas but on my external LCD and my external CRT Monitors they look like they have some "field issues".

This is not related to that issue. Thanks for your email, Alex N.by Gualex - Café LA What's the issue with dissolves and FCP - 16 years agoHi All: I have been having this problem since I started using FCP more than 2 years ago, I am hoping someone can help me. When I apply a dissolve by right clicking Add transition 'Croos dissolve' many many many times I have problems with it. For example if it is text it will shift down a few pixels after the dissolve ends even after a full render. If the dissolve is on a clip it won't be smby Gualex - Café LA Re: Luminance Shift Problem - 16 years agoThanks a lot Mark, I'll try that.

I have flushed the caches aby Gualex - Café LA Re: Trouble Exporting - 16 years agoHi John, you kept me thinking, I got it to work, originally I had double clicked the "No Escape Long.caf" file and it opened a project and when I tried to export it wouldn't let me so I created a new multitrack project dragged the file there, clicked it and voila it worked. Thank you so much. I can't wait to start working more with Sountrack Pro, I love it!
