applying effect to multiple clips - 16 years agoIf I don't apply an effect to an entire track but rather individual clips, why can't I select several sequential clips and apply the effect to all of those clips at once? It seems as though you can only apply an effect to one selected clip. Am I missing something or is this a major design flaw with the application? I'm assuming the former.by chrisrash - Soundtrack Pro Re: large projects causing FCP to freeze when opened - 16 years agoYes, the drives were daisy chained, but as it turned out it was one bad drive. I ended up putting the media that I needed on another drive and everything worked out fine. The drive in question was a LaCie d2 300GB firewire 800. The other specifics you asked for, which don't seem to be the problem, are a MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz with 2 GB of RAM (OS 10.4) running FCP 6.0.2. At some point I'dby chrisrash - Café LA large projects causing FCP to freeze when opened - 16 years agoStarting yesterday afternoon, when I open up large project files (about 80-110 MB) I get the spinning beach ball of death after being asked to reconnect. I tried checking Console, but I couldn't find anything there. Just to reiterate, I've never had problems having large project open until now. I've had two or three 100+ MBs projects open at a time in the recent past.

I wish I hadn't upgraded.by chrisrash - Café LA Re: new fit to fill edit problems - 16 years agoJude, if we were smart, we would have done that at the first sign of a problem. Unfortunately we have a couple months of work under our belts and it would be very difficult to re-create the work we've done since the upgrade. We're also very close to being finished with the cut all together (we're hoping to submit to Cannes).

Believe me, I will never ever upgrade my software in the middle of a project. This new problem is just a result of a larger problem that cropped up with the switch to 6. The following is a sob story about the woes of version 6: Our process for syncing all the concert footage (it's a concert doc frby chrisrash - Café LA new fit to fill edit problems - 16 years agoFor the documentary which I've been working on for the past year or more, the two main audio sources were recorded to two separate nagras (the actual filming of the doc took place in 1970 mind you) which were not running in sync with each other or with the cameras. Typically what we had been doing to sync the sound was to set in and out points in the sequence where we knew two separate soundsby chrisrash - Café LA Re: Video static going from HDV to DV - 16 years agoThat sounds likely. Thanks for the idea. I'll see if re-capturing some of those clips works if the less extreme fixes don't work.by chrisrash - Café LA Video static going from HDV to DV - 16 years agoI embedded three HDV 1080p24 sequences into a regular DV sequence with the frame rate changed to 23.98 to match the timecode of the embedded sequences. I then exported through Compressor with the file output as regular DV NTSC 29.97 in order to burn to a DVD using Toast. This process has worked fine in the past, and I don't know what has changed. This is all being done on a dual 2.3 GHz G5by chrisrash - Café LA Re: updates sequential? - 16 years agoAny word yet on updates for Final Cut 6?by chrisrash - Café LA Speed Change Issues in Final Cut 6 - 16 years agoApple needs to fix the issue in Final Cut Pro where when opening up a project after it has been saved and closed, some speed changes are not as they were when the project was previously opened. First I thought the issue was going from version 5 to version six. Many audio files that required speed changes no longer had those speed changes on them when opening that project file in version six.by chrisrash - Café LA Marker Overlays not showing in Viewer - 16 years agoSo, am I crazy? Didn't FCP 5 allow you to see marker overlays when you're dealing with audio in the viewer? I'd really like to be able to see what the markers say without having to hit "m" on each marker. As someone suggested, I was able to turn on marker overlay for video in the Canvas, but I didn't have the same luck with the Viewer. My theory is that having the audio wavefby chrisrash - Café LA Re: Multiclip with speed changes - 16 years agoAndrew Kines Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > How are you planning on replicating your speed > changes in your HD online?

Now in Final Cut v.6 the clips with the speed changes will not even show up in the Viewer. I'm going to try the workarounds mentioned, but I'm curious to see if anyone has come across these issues within the last nine months.by chrisrash - Café LA Re: sync changes from FCP6 to STP - 16 years agoI believe that some of the problems I'm having may be a result of audio clips with speed changes. Is that something we might have in common? Could it be that I don't have a fast enough computer (MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz w/ 2 GB of RAM)?by chrisrash - Soundtrack Pro sync changes from FCP6 to STP - 16 years agoI'm having an issue where when I send an audio clip from the timeline in FCP to Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project the clip in the timeline in FCP is no longer in sync. It seems like the clip has shifted which part of the media file it references. Any ideas?by chrisrash - Soundtrack Pro Re: Synch drift: FCP5 -> Compressor -> Toast - 16 years agoI was having the problem in the quicktime itself. But I will keep that in mind for the future. Thanks, Nick.by chrisrash - Café LA Synch drift: FCP5 -> Compressor -> Toast - 16 years agoOn a dual 2 GHz G5 with 3 GB of RAM, using Final Cut 5, I tried to export a sequence that's HDV 1080p24 through compressor using the DV NTSC Anamorphic preset and then burning that using Toast 8. I keep getting these little glitches where there will be gray pixelation with some color for three frames. It happens about a dozen or more times throughout the 2-hour video file. Another issue isby chrisrash - Café LA Saving projects for previous versions - 16 years agoI've never seen anything in the save window that will allow you to save the project to be opened in a previous version. In Pro Tools, you can save a project to be opened ing version 6 when working in version 7. Is there a way to do this in FCP? Maybe I should have waited on upgrading to to 6...by chrisrash - Café LA Re: DV from Panasonic HVX200 with interlacing problems - 17 years agoAccording to the guy I talked to last night, the issue is that there's some kind of field blending going on where, at some point, the two fields that are improperly interlaced are getting converted to progressive so that interlacing becomes part of each frame. I guess what I need to do, after I try recapturing the DV stuff, is bring the stuff into a DV sequence and export it with de-interlacby chrisrash - Café LA DV from Panasonic HVX200 with interlacing problems - 17 years agoThe project that I'm working on was mostly shot on a Sony HDV camera, and all that footage is fine. We've been cutting that in an HDV 1080i60 sequence in FCP and there are no problems with that stuff. Unfortunately, the other camera man occasionally used his Panasonic HVX and he somehow didn't know that it doesn't record HDV to the miniDV tape but rather regular DV. So we have a mix of about 7by chrisrash - Café LA 5.1.2 won't recognize Cannon HV10 - 17 years agoMy boss shot some footage on a Cannon XLH1 at 1080i 24f. Now he wants to capture from a Cannon HV10, but FCP won't recognize the camera as a capture source at 24f. Is this an issue with the camera or with FCP?by chrisrash - Café LA Re: Pro Tools Vs.

In my timeline I have corrected those speed issues so that the clips are as in sync as possible. When I try to create multiclips for those sections where there are clips with speed changes, those clips show up black in the multiclip viewer.

I can confirm that, smartypants.

For a laptop, I barely ever do anything but web surfing with the MBP on my lap. Can anyone confirm or deny this?by chrisrash - Café LA Re: FCP crashes when "Caps Lock" is on - 17 years agoThose are both good suggestions for how to avoid the problem. Thanks guys. My issue has more to do with it crashing when the Caps Lock is depressed than anything else. It would be interesting to know why that happens. I just ran into an old friend of mine from college, who now works for Apple's security development team. Maybe he'll know the answer.by chrisrash - Café LA |
