Re: Shot in the dark - 15 years agoI think everyone might be over-thinking this. "using a PC but have access to the capture scratch downloaded videos, of course they all show up without extensions on them in PC." I often see this when bringing stuff over to PC and it just needs the .mov extension added to the file name.by JBeal - Café LA Re: Creating a bootable back up drive - 16 years agoYou can also hold down the option key while starting your computer and it will ask which drive you want to boot from.by JBeal - Café LA OT: DVD printer rental? - 16 years agoWe have to send out our Primera Bravo Pro for service. Does anyone know of a place in the LA area that rents these or any other DVD printers so we don't have to stop production? Thanks Joshby JBeal - DVD Studio Pro OT: DVD duplication in Florida - 16 years agoJust a shot in the dark, but does anyone know where I could buy a DVD duplication tower in the Miami / Ft. lauderdale area on a Sunday. I'm not from around here and have been searching google but haven't come up with anything. Thanks for any suggestions. jwbby JBeal - Café LA Re: General Error (41) - 16 years agoClient called back and confirmed what we all thought. They were actually working on 5.1 so there's the answer.by JBeal - Café LA General Error (41) - 16 years agoI am on trying to open a project on FCP 5.0.4 and am getting the error message General Error (41) . I'm not sure what version this project was created on but I am being told it was older than 5.0.4. Is anyone familiar with this error? G5 Quad, 8 Gigs RAM, FCP 5.0.4 Thanksby JBeal - Café LA Re: Primatte keyer problems - 16 years agoWhen I'm keying DV footage in Motion I first cut each shot into an Uncompressed 8-bit sequence in FCP, then apply the 4:1:1 smoothing filter, then export as a self-contained quictime and bring that into Motion. This way the footage retains the result of the 4:1:1 smoothing filter.by JBeal - Motion Re: Only transform tool works - 16 years agoThanks, that did it. Here is where they are in case this happens to anyone else: user/library/preferences/com.apple.motion.plistby JBeal - Motion Only transform tool works - 16 years agoI just upgraded to FCS2 w/ Motion 3. All of my old projects open fine and work as expected. However every-time I create a new project and import a piece of media none of the tools work on it except for the Transform tool even though it will let me select the other tools. For example I open Motion, select NTSC Broadcast SD preset, import a video clip, click on the Adjust Shear tool, then clickby JBeal - Motion Re: Light Spill in a Box - 17 years agoI have had lots of problems brining Motion files (.motn) back inot FCP if the Motion projects used filters based on Noise Industries FXFactory, which I think Volumetrix is. I ended up having to render a .mov out of Motion and then bring that into FCP. Did you try that?by JBeal - Café LA Re: Batch change subtitle start & end times - 17 years agoThats kind of what I'm asking - how do I get Excel to do the math? I can't figure out how to get excel to do the math based on 30s and 60s rather than 100s. For example when I try and subtract 00:1:47:21 from 1:22:38:12 I get 1:20:90:91 rather than 1:20:50:21. Is there some type of plug in I can get for excel so that it understands timecode?by JBeal - DVD Studio Pro Batch change subtitle start & end times - 17 years agoI'm trying to figure out how to get all of my subtitles to start and end exactly 1 minute 43 seconds and 21 frames earlier. Here's the story: After subtitles were made client wanted to remove a section of their video. So I went back to FCP and removed the offending section and then re-exported and encoded the video again. I worked out which subtitles corresponded to gthe section that I pulledby JBeal - DVD Studio Pro Re: Beta deck weirdness after 5.1.4 upgrade - 17 years agoAlso take your machine out of EE.by JBeal - Café LA Re: c:31:22 ( about to throw my camera at the wall!!!!!) - 17 years agoHere is a list of Sony error codes. www.dvguys.com They also address c:31:32 specifically. jwbby JBeal - Café LA Re: Scaling breaks up image - fixed by field change - 17 years agoWell, I guess its getting a little late. I took another look and realized my field ordering wasn't consistent. When selecting the media in my Motion project and then looking at the properties tab it had gone back to "None". I switched it back to "Lower" and everything looks good again.by JBeal - Motion Scaling breaks up image - 17 years agoI have a video that I am keying and then scaling to about 40% of its orignal size and then I am placing it into a graphic. When I do this the image seems to "break up" during motion (on both external monitor and on computer monitor). All of my field ordering is consistent throughout the process (lower field first since its DV). Any ideas why this is happening? Here is a frame of theby JBeal - Motion Re: AC3 Encoding Problem Using - 17 years ago"If Final Cut different versions don't play together, why expect different Compressor versions to?" I would expect it to because the m2v files it creates are no different and it doesn't specify this AC3 problem anywhere in the documentation that I can find. The comparison is also a little different because I'm not trying to use a older version to open a project created in newer versiby JBeal - DVD Studio Pro Re: AC3 Encoding Problem Using - 17 years agoSo the problem wasn't fixed by getting the 90 degree phase shift option to match. After doing so I stil get the same result. Everything matches between my two AC3 encoding profiles but I get the same result when trying to use to different clips in one track. At this point I am still not able to get clips encoded with the updated Copressor to play nice with clips encoded in the older Compressor.by JBeal - DVD Studio Pro AC3 Encoding Problem Using - 17 years agoOn my Macbook Pro when I do AC3 encoding using compressor the option for "90 pahse shift" is greyed out but the box is checked. On my G5 5 the option is greyed out but is not checked. When I try to 2 different clips in 1 track where one was encoded on the G5 and the other on the MBP they are incompatible. On playback only the first clip of the two plays audio, the other becomes silent.by JBeal - DVD Studio Pro Re: Changed Offline Clips Media Start Time - 17 years agoThanks for the advice. This creates a new clip though. Is there any way to adjust the info on the original clip? I've done a lot of editing (multicam) with it and I think if I created a new logged clip it would link back to all the work I've done.by JBeal - Café LA Changed Offline Clips Media Start Time - 17 years agoIs there anyway to change the Media Start Time of a clip that is offline? I have a tape that was logged with the media start to close to the beginning of the tape so there is no pre-roll but when I try to change the time in the media start column it keeps switvhing back as soon as I get done entering the new time.

It looks like the posting is deleted.by JBeal - lafcpug Market Teleprompter - 18 years agoCan anyone suggest a good place in LA to rent a teleprompter system?

Joshby JBeal - lafcpug Market AJA IO La - 18 years agoAja IO La. It works perfectly but I need tget a tape deck more than I need the Aja. I don't have the box for it anymore but I do have all cables and software. Email me if interested. I'm going to put it on Ebay but wanted to put it on here first. I would also be willing to do a trade rather than sell it if anyone is interested. email4josh@mby JBeal - lafcpug Market Re: loop pauses after export to QT - 17 years agoUsually what I would do in a situation like that is take my loop into FCP and repeat the animation to make it at least 30 seconds long, depending on how much room I have on my DVD I prefer to make it 2 minutes or as long as my audio track is. That way the audio can play the whole way through on the menu and the loop pause happens much less often. This will also make it easier for the user to moveby JBeal - Motion Re: I've been an arse... any workaround - 18 years agoWhen I have this same type of problem openning old DVDSP projects I just delete the reference QTs in the finder and then go back and open the DVDSP project. It notifies me that the original files are missing and asks if I want to replace them with the encoded file, which I do. I assume since your replacing these files anyways you could do the same thing with Motion. By deleting them in the finderby JBeal - Motion Re: motion menu to dvdsp3 - 18 years agoHave you defined your button areas in DVDSP? Have you checked the button navigation in DVDSP to make sure its going where its supposed to when you press up/down/left/right?by JBeal - Motion Problems with DVDSP 4.1.0 - 17 years agoI have noticeda few problems since doing the crossgrade and I was wondering if anyone else has noticed either of these issues: 1. Menus My menus are created in After Effects and are 4 seconds long. The first 105 frames are a motion intro and then the remaining 15 frames are just a duplicate of the 105th frame. What I do is set my loop point on frame 105 sothat the 8-bit comes on right when the mby JBeal - DVD Studio Pro |
