Re: Help with inqscribe export into FCP xml subtitles - 12 years agoHow about importing the FCP XML file you exported from InqScribe back into InqScribe? InqScribe can import XML files. -Daveby D-Mac - Café LA Re: Can't capture HDV footage from Sony Z1U into FCP 7 - 12 years agoIf you settings are correct in FCP and in your Z1U, then you may need to restart your computer and the camcorder. For testing purposes, you should connect only your Z1U to your Mac Pro (by itself, no daisy-chaining). - Turn off your Z1U. - Shut down your Mac Pro. - Check your FireWire cable connection to your Mac Pro. Turn on your Z1U and put it into VTR mode and make sure the output is setby D-Mac - Café LA Re: Can't capture HDV footage from Sony Z1U into FCP 7 - 12 years agoYou realize that you are trying to import HDV footage as DVCProHD footage, right?

When you do system updates (OS X), you may want to download and use the standalone combo updater. I wouldn't recommend the software update mechanism, nor any standalone incremental update.

If I change the audio settings on the record, those changes are also made to the stream settings. There is no way to get Wirecast to record in HiDef and stream in LoDef simultaneously.

So I have just gone through installing all of Snow Leopard, FCS3, and Logic9. OS X is 10.6.7. Ran the updates and, because I have a laptop that has to go through this soon, downloaded all the needed updates. The only one I am trepidatious of running is ProApplicationsUpdate2010-02. FYI, the Pro Applications Update 2010-02 doesn't contain ProKit.

We were all suggesting various units without explaining the gear running on them (power consumption/load).

Note that the numbers don't account for any PCIe cards, except for the stock GPU. Higher-end graphics cards probably add significant power consumption to the total (not negligible).

Do you have a backup of that data? How long would it take you to recreate the contents of that hard drive from scratch? How much is your time worth? If you will lose billable hours, how many will you lose? Do you have auto insurance? Do you have home owner's or renter's insurance?

It's free to store up to 2 GB of data. Dropbox is nice, as it integrates well with the Finder in Mac OS X. You put a file into your Public Dropbox folder and right/control-click to get the URL for the file and use that to post here. The local Dropbox folders on your Mac will auto-sync with the Dropbox site. -Daveby D-Mac - Café LA Re: Subtitles on authored DVD are going off screen when no command was given in the STL_.txt file - 13 years agoI wonder if you're running into space issues for the size of the project. If so, it could cause some errors when things get "built." I would suggest creating a new test project and just put a twenty minute track in it, along with just the one subtitle. See if that works...??? -Daveby D-Mac - DVD Studio Pro Re: Exporting a sequence of still images from FCP to DVD Pro - 13 years agoNick, I don't know why nobody suggested it already (including me --- maybe, someone has?), but why not take some screen shots of your setup, timeline, sequence settings, export window settings... as much as you can. Then, put them into an archive (if there are more than a few) and upload them, so that we can take a look at what you are doing/seeing.

Unless I am not seeing things well enough tonight, it seems like that subtitle is on-screen for a very long time (over 13 minutes).

It may not be useful, but an alternative solution may be to try using iMovie, or even Keynote, for a simple slideshow of images. I think that iPhoto can also save slideshows to a QT movie (though, maybe not with overlaid text and multiple transition types). DVD Studio Pro can also create a slideshow using still images (but again, if you're using text overlays, this doesn'tby D-Mac - Café LA |
