Re: Wacom tablet or Kensington trackball - 15 years agoOh I see.. So far, Wacom all around...by xavpil - Café LA Re: Wacom tablet or Kensington trackball - 15 years agoHey Shane! I thought I remembered you were using a mouse mainly? Am I wrong?by xavpil - Café LA Wacom tablet or Kensington trackball - 15 years agoFirst off, dears moderators, feel free to remove my posting if you think it doesn't belong here (I hope it does). I am ready to trash my Logitech trackball mouse and "invest" $100 or so. I know two contenders for the replacement are the Wacom tablet and the Kensington trackball. If you're using one of the two or if you tried and hated them, could you briefly tell me why. For youby xavpil - Café LA Re: How to close several opened sequences? - 15 years agoClosing the canvas window works for me. Thxby xavpil - Café LA Re: How to close several opened sequences? - 15 years agoI know there's key combination. I too have end up with 10 sequences opened. You might know about it, but there's a keyboard shortcut to navigate from one seq to the other one without having to click on the tab.by xavpil - Café LA How to close several opened sequences? - 15 years agoI just hate having to close sequences one at a time and I swear I knew of a short cut to close them all at the same time but I can't remember it... Any one knows?by xavpil - Café LA Re: Advice on building a good system - 15 years agoI don't know what your budget is to set up your studio, but you will need a deck, if not "decks". And for your information, decks are expensive. Very expensive. Especially HD decks. And you might need a D5 deck, and HDSR deck (Panasonic - Sony): over $100,000 each. As for a digibeta deck you're looking into the $50,000.by xavpil - Café LA Re: I know it's not a MAC forum but you guys know a lot about MBP: Advice needed - 15 years agoI am back to square one... Ben says: "the old one" Macapptraining: the new one And Strypes pretty much says that both would be ok... But thanks a lot. YOu raised points that will help me choose. I realize now that I would totally be fine with the older model, but that the 'buying new' factor plays a part. I don't buy computers everyday and I also want to satisfy my buying &quoby xavpil - Café LA I know it's not a MAC forum but you guys know a lot about MBP: Advice needed - 15 years agoMost of you know more about the specificity or running video softwares and applications than other people in Apple product related forums (I tried posting that nothing interesting came up) I want to buy a MBP to be able to run Studio 2. I was going to buy the entry level new MBP for $1999 but I found a refurbished MBP ('older' model) for $1499 on the Apple website. It used to be sold at $2499by xavpil - Café LA Re: OT: New Macbook Pros released - 15 years agomacapptraining Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > if the new > macbook had a firewire port i would find that > machine more tempting with the price point and > portability> I would love to think the MB would be enough to edit... I agree that the lack of firewire port is a bummer. Isn't there adapters that could do the trick?by xavpil - Café LA Re: OT: New Macbook Pros released - 15 years agowhat type of cards does the Express/34 card read exactly to be a deal killer?by xavpil - Café LA Re: PowerMac G5 Dual 2.0GHz / Upgrd 250Gb + LCD Monitor - $850 - 15 years agoAlright now. It is not on the computer anymore. How do I delete my posting?by xavpil - lafcpug Market Re: PowerMac G5 Dual 2.0GHz / Upgrd 250Gb + LCD Monitor - $850 - 15 years agoalright then, I won't install it. Or maybe I could not charge! :-)by xavpil - lafcpug Market PowerMac G5 Dual 2.0GHz / Upgrd 250Gb + LCD Monitor - $850 - 15 years agoI am selling my PowerMac G5. It has no scratch, no bumps. It's been totally underused. This is the most recent G5 on the market: Late 2005 were the last ever made.

I found out more about the issue. I originally tried the solution you offered by offsetting at capture but the result was 90% ok. What I just remembered though is that the show I am working off was shot in PAL, then transfered to DIGi tae NTSC 29.91. However I came accross a lot of 1/2 field frames and replaced them with freezed flash frame. And for some reason this is the 5% ofby xavpil - Café LA Problem at recapture - 15 years agoI lost the media on a project and I had to recapture the media, using Batch Capture. The problem is that now the edits are off of 10 to 11 frames in the sequence. All I can think of right now is that the master tape that was sent back to me isn't the same as the one i originally digitized from. Anyhow, what could I do so I don't have to tweak each edit manually. Thanksby xavpil - Café LA Re: Sequence and project settings issue - 15 years agoThanks a lot guys! once again, very helpfulby xavpil - Café LA Re: Sequence and project settings issue - 15 years agothis is what i did after i discovered the issue. the strange thing is that i already had a sequence i was working with. Could the fact that someone else used the bay (without working on my project) to work on HD projects?by xavpil - Café LA Sequence and project settings issue - 15 years agoI am confused now... When I create a sequence in a project already up and running, doesn't FCP set the sequence to the project settings or do i have to do it everytime? I was working on an NTSC SD project last night and I had to create a sequence in the middle of the job. But the sequences I would create within this SD project had HD specs... Confusing....by xavpil - Café LA Re: compressor making bad files - 15 years agoFiles disappear here too! I've been using compressor on a regular basis and tonight my mpg2 file is nowhere to be found. Switched computer, and same result. I've use the same settings and type of file i've been using at least 10 times before. Very annoying when the compression takes 60 minutes!by xavpil - Café LA Re: FFW and RW - 15 years agoI can't believe this! I sent the request to Appleby xavpil - DVD Studio Pro FFW and RW - 15 years agoIs there a way to fast forward when you are in the Simulator mode. I seemed to have tried everything but all i can do is skip chapters, or watch the whole sequence. I can't imagine not being able to do such basic task.by xavpil - DVD Studio Pro Re: HDV Aspect Ratio Problem - 15 years agoif you have to recapture, create a new project, and make sure you name the clips and reels the same way you did in the original project. Once digitized, check the footage to see if it works properly and then go back to the original project. Make all the clips offline and choose "delete original media from disk". Then relink to the newly digitized stuff. You should be good to go.by xavpil - Café LA Re: Capture problem - 15 years agoHey Derek, THanks for your help. The problem has been solved by exporting the source clip using Compressor and re-importing it to the browser. The QT file was corrupted and the Info of the QT was giving me a different frame rate from what it had been captured with. All set Thx againby xavpil - Café LA Capture problem - 15 years agoI have a problem at work when digitizing a miniDV tape. Some of the clips have a section at the end with audio only (no video), even though there is video and audio on the tape. I checked the source file QT, and it plays fine.... I've tried to make the clip offline and relink it... I've tried to copy the source clip QT on the desktop, rename it and drag it in the browser... Of course trashedby xavpil - Café LA Copying markers from one sequence to the other one - 15 years agoI have to copy markers from sequence A to sequence B The markers are on the timeline. The problem is that both sequences are not identical. The clips are not located at the same place on the time lines, making the use of the timeline TC as a reference not usable. What I have been doing is extremely time consuming and I'm sure there is a better way (even though the way FCP handles markers mby xavpil - Café LA Re: is it possible to batch render? - 15 years agoin the past i've tried Jude's option and nothin happened, same as Derek. I'll trash my preferences or will follow D's sugestion. Thx all!by xavpil - Café LA |
