      <title>[Final Cut Pro] DVD Ripper for Mac</title>
      <link>http://www.geniusdv.com/avid-fcp//read.php?1,7848,7848#msg-7848</link>

      <description><![CDATA[If you’ve got a 6th-generation iPod (iPod touch, iPod nano, iPod classic) an iPhone, a Zune or some other players, one of the things you probably want to do is put movies on it. After all, movies really do look great on the iPod, and it?s a lot easier to carry around than a laptop or portable DVD player. 

The problem is that commercial DVDs are copy-protected, which means you can?t ?rip? them in iTunes as you can a music CD. So you need a special tool that removes this copy protection as it extracts the video content; if that tool can then convert the video to a format suitable for playback on your iPod, iPhone or other players, even better. (And by the way, I?m not talking about movies you?ve rented or borrowed; I?m talking about movies you actually own.)
My favorite tool for accomplishing this task is iSkysoft DVD Ripper for Mac .
how to use the software of iSkysoft DVD Ripper for Mac?
Detail info at [URL=http://www.welldownload.com/dvd-ripper.html] ripe dvd for Mac [/URL]
Step 1: Add DVD Movie
[IMG]http://www.welldownload.com/dvd-ripper_clip_image002_0000.jpg[/IMG]
Click the Load DVD button, browse your computer, find the DVD folder of the movie you want to add from your hard disc or DVD-ROM, open your DVD folder, select the VIDEO_TS folder and click OK.
Or, click the Load IFO button, browse your computer, find the DVD folder of the movie you want to add from your hard disc or DVD-ROM, open your DVD folder, open the VIDEO_TS folder, select all the IFO files and click OK. 
After you add your movie, you can choose any titles or chapters that you want to convert by ticking the check boxes before them.
[IMG]http://www.welldownload.com/dvd-ripper_clip_image003_0000.jpg[/IMG]
Step 2: Output Settings
[IMG]http://www.welldownload.com/dvd-ripper_clip_image005_0000.jpg[/IMG]
At the bottom of the main window, you can name the output file for the current title/chapter, and select a subtitle to put on your movie, select an audio track. Then finish all the settings including selecting an output format, clicking the Settings button to set the video and audio encoding settings, choose if to merge the selected titles or chapters into one file, and set an output directory to save the output files.
Step 3: Start Conversion
[IMG]http://www.welldownload.com/dvd-ripper_clip_image006_0000.jpg[/IMG]
After setting the output settings, you can just click the Convert button to start converting your 
Movie. You can choose to shut down your computer or open the output folder after conversion so you don’t have to sit before your computer waiting for the conversion to finish.
Advanced Options
If you want to edit your movie before converting it, iSkysoft DVD Ripper for Mac provides your with various powerful functions including:
1. Trim DVD Title or Chapter
If you want to capture a clip from the current title/chapter, you can click the Trim button to open the Trim window and trim the current title or chapter by dragging the Start Time slider to set the start time, and dragging the End Time slider to set the finish time.
[IMG]http://www.welldownload.com/dvd-ripper_clip_image008_0000.jpg[/IMG]
2. Crop DVD Video
If you want to remove the black edges or just convert an area from your movie video, you can click the Crop button to crop the video of the current title or chapter. You can specify an area
either by dragging the frame around the video or setting the crop values: Top, Button, Left and Right.
[IMG]http://www.welldownload.com/dvd-ripper_clip_image010_0000.jpg[/IMG]
3. Video Effect 
If you want to adjust the video effect of your movie, you can click the Effect button and drag each effect adjustment slider to set the video brightness, contrast, saturation and video volume. You can also choose a special effect from the Effect drop-down list to apply to your movie.

      <description><![CDATA[To anyone who can help:

I just purchased Media Composer 2.8 and get the following error twice during launch:

&quot;An ACCESS_VIOLATION exception occurred. For more information see the error log: c:\...\Avid FatalErrorReports&quot;

I get to Media Composer OK, but when I try to do anything with ANY media (ie - play media), the system crashes with the following &quot;ASSERT Failed&quot; message:

Executable: AvidMediaComposer.exe Pid 8a4  Tid 910. Module DVBuffers.ax, 3 objects left active!
At line 319 of S:\external\DX8SDK\BaseClasses\dllentry.cpp
Continue? (Cancel to debug)

From the point of that error, no matter what I say (Yes, No, Cancel), Media Composer is shut down. I don't get the whole &quot;S:\&quot; thing - it's not a drive I have, so what does that mean?

Whatever advice anyone can offer would be most appreciated.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi Sneto:

In the Final Cut Pro effects pallette, there is an 8 point garbage mask.  You'll need to mask out the areas of the Plesantville effect to reveal the original clip below itself.

V2 (Completed Pleasantville Effect) + 8 point garbage mask filter that masks out the areas you do not want.

V1 (Exact copy of the same clip on V2 without any filters)

I'll warn you, if the camera is moving, this is somehwat painful if not impossible using Final Cut Pro with an 8 point garbage mask.  You may need to animate each point indivdually to attempt to mask out the areas you do not need.  You really should use Apple Motion or After Effects for something like this.

Good luck on this.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi,

i have Avid Xpress Pro 5.7.5
I have problem, When I try to play my footage (XDCAM media .mp4) on source window or composer window, or in Basic toolset, I can hear sound but cant see the video. If I pause it, frame updated to the last frame.

This problem is happening in 5.7.5 version. I tried 5,8 and the videos plays fine.

But I need to use 5.7.5

I think its a hardware issue. My system specs:
DELL XPS 1530
Core 2 Duo T7250 2.0 GHZ
2 GB Ram
8600M GT 256 mb
Quicktime 7.2
nVidia 175.63 display drivers (I tried 162.18 too)

So I check the changelog of the 5.8 and it says &quot;Version 5.8 adds support for: Mac OS 10.4.10, Apple QuickTime 7.2 and new CPU’s including Mac and PC notebooks&quot;

Maybe my GPU is newer for 5.7.5? Or is there any other way to solve this?]]></description>

      <title>[Final Cut Pro] &quot;unrendered&quot; sign when exporting as WMV</title>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi 

I am exporting a sequence as a wmv and yet any part of the sequence that has a filter or motion filter on it comes up as &quot;unrendered&quot; when it is exported?

Does anyone know why this is? at the moment, my only fix is to export as a FCP quicktime and then reimport and export again as wmv! 

There must be an explanation, has anybody else had this?

Thanks in advance!]]></description>

      <title>[Final Cut Pro] BEST quality settings: FCP Quicktime export</title>

      <description><![CDATA[I am needing to export, at the best quality, a 10 minute video.
I have been trying to do this with Quicktime movie and then taking into iDVD to burn. The video ends up looking choppy with a lot of digital lines. I am trying to figure out if this is something in my Final Cut Pro settings or somehow iDVD. (I have, but do not know how to use DVD Studio Pro yet.)

What are the best settings and way to do this?
Quicktime Movie or Qucktime conversion. (It is my understanding that conversion quality is not as good.)
And what are the best settings in these?

Thank you for your time.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi,

Can you please provide me with some additional specifics on your configuration?  Version of OS X, and version of Avid Xpress?

Do you have a tape machine connected to your system?  If so, turn it off while editing.  This will force your system audio to be routed through the standard MAC audio port instead of the firewire port.  I'm not sure if this is necessarily related to your problem.

Also, double check and make sure you are running the correct version of QuickTime.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi,

I have a SoundBlaster card install and the disk w/ drivers. There is however, a pci motherboard port (the red kind for advanced video cards) that I can't find a driver for. So I deables it But there are Legacy audio and video capture drivers i can't disable. Conflicts poss?

How, deleteting the &quot;Creating&quot; folders did seem to work once with only c: drive attached. Reattached Ext's and no go. Striped them out again and same error messes come up. 

But I am now able to edit and export movies. But that fatal error is something I don't want to live with.

Would buying 5.7 make any difference, btw?

Again, thanks for replying

      <description><![CDATA[Hi,

After researching this further, I think I know what the problem is. It might have something to do with the audio driver/card.

To troubleshoot this, go to the control panel and double click on system settings.  Go to the hard-drive tab and click on the  device manager. Right click on your audio device, and disable it.  See if the Avid software boots.  It will warn you that no audio is present, but you should be able to continue.

If this is the case, you'll need to find a compatible audio driver.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Thanks so much for reply. Got nothing on the official Avid forum.

This is a fresh install on a formated drive (on a new pc downgraded from ms vista -- had to search for all drivers that work for XP). Tried loading 4.5 w/o any  ex - drives (and nothing in c: OMFI media folders yet of course)

It was a virgin boot essentially... and still got the avidSDM / shared library err. 

Now I'm still waiting for a now firewire card to come in -- could that not installed be the culprit?

thanks]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi,

Make sure there aren't any 'creating file' folders outside of the OMFI MediaFiles folder.  I've run into this problem before.

If that doesn't work, I  delete the media database files inside each OMFI mediafiles folder.

You can also troubleshoot this by removing all of your external storage devices and see if the software launches.  Next step would be to rename any OMFI Mediafiles folder to 'old MediaFiles' to see if the Avid will launch. 

Once you get the software to launch without errors, you can concentrate on figuring out which files inside the OMFI mediafiles are corrupted.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[After a HD crash had to reinstall Express Pro 4.5.1 on new drive. Old system more than adequate (pent 4 / 2g ram) runiing for 3 years fine. But as Avidl loads an error come on that the AVIDDSM didn't not initialize. And when attempt to play timeline I get error ss :Exception_2008.05.16_17.12.36 20080516171236 Dump 

Can't open any media files

I suspect my OMFI MediaFiles can't talk to avid, so to speak bec. of shared library probs or SDM probs. I've reinstalled several times. Any suggestions out there? This is the exact message:

AFTER the Open GL loads on startup, it says at the bottom &quot;Loading Setup...&quot; and that's when the first error message comes up, a Windows error:
 
&quot;An ACCESS_VIOLATION exception occurred.  For more information see the error log: c:\Program Files\Avid\Avid Xpress Pro HD\Avid FatalErrorReports\Exception_2007.01.07_13.35.36&quot;
(I can't open this error log, it is a file type that the PC doesn't know)
 
When I click Okay, an Avid error comes up:
 
&quot;The AvidSDM (Storage Device Manager) could not be loaded or initialized.  This could be due to a mismatch or missing AvidSDM Shared Library and Service can result in degraded performance while running the Avid application.  Please make sure that the proper AvidSDM Shared Library and Service are installed on the system.&quot;
Could really use some help. Thanks so much.

      <description><![CDATA[Hi,
I have an 80-minute final cut pro movie that has chapter markers. I exported it as a self-contained quicktime movie (125GB) and imported it into iDVD. Since it was so large I burned it on a DVD+R Dual Layer and encoded it as &quot;Best Performance&quot;. 
Everything looked great in preview mode, but the final burned DVD has really bad digitizing/blurring whenever there is any motion on screen or camera movement.
I really could use any help!!!

      <description><![CDATA[If u r importing media from DVD or any other source other than tape, you can disable audio then (for e.g. when u use ProCoder od MPEG Streamclip do not export audio or video). 

But if you did - you can do what dvadmin explained and also Modify your clip to disable audio track.

1. Highlight a clip in the Bin
2. Hold Crtl+Shift and click on the Bin's Fast Menu -&gt; Unlink (in Express Pro)
3. Right-click on your clip -&gt; Modify
4. From drop-down menu choose -&gt; Tracks -&gt; Disable A1 and A2 (and any other if req.) -&gt; OK
5. Right-click on your clip -&gt; Relink -&gt; OK

From now you can for e.g. make a Group or use AutoSync(tm) option to make a sync clip.]]></description>

      <title>[DVD Studio Pro] How to Convert Youtube or Google videos to iPod, PSP, etc on Mac for free</title>
      <link>http://www.geniusdv.com/avid-fcp//read.php?8,7779,7779#msg-7779</link>
      <author>hppay</author>
      <description><![CDATA[I will show you how to download video content from numerous sites( youtube, Google Video,etc) and convert it using two methods to iPod format files. It is pretty simple once you get the hang of it. 


[b]1. Using free video converter for mac[/b]
The First Method is using free video converter software.
For this you need the following:
A Mac computer. (tiger or leopard)
A video to download.
[url=http://www.iskysoft.com/ipod-movieconverter-mac.html] Free Video Converter for Mac  
[/url] 
Step 1 Download the FLV
Now you need to download the .FLV flash video file. There are many ways of doing this but I just use this one. It works well. 
Find Your Favorite Video. This step is pretty self explanatory. Be sure to use Safari and search for your favorite YouTube Video. It's as easy as that!
Next, you need to go to Window and down to Activity. Click on Activity to bring up the next dialog box.
 

Once the dialog box has popped up you need to look for the YouTube page among all the page titles  and files listed in the window .
Once you locate it and expand all the activities going on in the page, look for the largest file size (this is shown in the right hand corner).
Most of the files found in a YouTube page are small files while most FLV files are several megabytes. 
Once you locate the largest file, double click on it. This should cause another window to open and a download to ensue after that called &quot;get_video&quot;. 
 
Now that the FLV file is downloading to the desktop, we have to wait.

Step 2 Converting The Video

Great, now you have located the file and downloaded it to the desktop. What's next? Well, you need to open up your freshly installed iSkysoft iPod Movie Converter for Mac. 
Click the &quot;Add Files&quot; button to add the youtube video files to the program by automatically selecting an appropriate encoder for the video files you want to convert to. Select the output format and then click “convert”.
 
This process only lasts a few minutes at the most.
You can convert several videos and join them into one files just check “merge into one file” option
The output file (mp4) is compatible with iPod, iPhone, Apple TV, PSP and many other digital video and audio players

[b]2.Using free online converter[/b]
The Second method is using a website to convert the media files. This is good for you when you only have one file to convert or you can't install the programs necessary for conversion. 
My favorite is  [url=http://www.zamzar.com]zamzar converter[/url].  
You don't even need to download the video to your computer. Enter the URL of the video to the box, choose the format to convert to (iPod accepts mp4 video. So choose the format “mp4”.), and Enter your email address , then click “convert”. The output file will be sent to your mailbox.  
Another one I like is [url=http://media-convert.com/]media convert.[/url]  

But you can not convert the large video files using free online converters. It is up to 100MB. And the quality of the output files is so so.

The Final Step

Now that the file has been converted, open the output folder and you can get the output  
files.

The rest is up to you:
1. You can rename it and drag it into iTunes to put on your iPod or iPhone.
2. You can email it to friends so they can save it for themselves.
3. You can even edit it, and even post it back up onto YouTube!
The possibilities are endless!]]></description>

Download this software at [url=http://www.oursdownload.com/dvd-to-iphone.html] FAQ : how to convert dvd and video to iphone [/url]

I was able to convert dvd/video to iPhone using the Cucusoft iPhone Video Converter suite software .I found on [url=http://www.oursdownload.com/dvd-to-iphone.html] FAQ : how to convert dvd and video to iphone [/url] . So far, I'm really impressed with how easy it is to use and how effectively it got the job done.
1.Download the latest version [url=http://www.oursdownload.com/dvd-to-iphone.html] FAQ : how to convert dvd and video to iphone [/url] and install it. You can know more about it by referring here.

[IMG]http://www.oursdownload.com/dvd-to-iphone-2.jpg[/IMG]

3. Click 'File' menu and 'Open DVD', or directly hit 'Open DVD' button to load the DVD. Set the profile to be iPhone 480*320 mpeg-4 video which is the default DVD video quality. 

4. Click around in the DVD's menu to set up DVD playback as you like, select the subtitle and audio sound tracks etc, then begin to play the movie through the software by click the play button. 
5. The following window will pop up. Here, you can rename 'Title Name', set 'Save Path' and output quality, then click 'Yes' button to start ripping DVD to iPhone MP4 or iPhone H264 video from the point that the movie starts. That is all. Just so easy! 
[IMG]http://www.oursdownload.com/dvd-to-iphone-3.gif[/IMG]
If you'd like to record from certain time point, or want to change some parameters like 'output format', 'video bitrates', 'frame rate', 'audio bitrates', please click 'No' button to close the window.

Optional parameters settings
* Select subtitles and languages
Click 'Subtitle' or 'Audio Track' in the 'Setting' menu, choose the related value you like.
* Set output formats
Choose the target file format from 'Profile'. The software supports converting DVD to iPhone 480*320 MP4 video,iPod MP4 video, iPod h264 video, MP3 audio.
[IMG]http://www.oursdownload.com/dvd-to-iphone-4.gif[/IMG]
* Set the start time to convert
Use the video playback controls to queue up the point at which you want to start ripping. Or click 'Setting -&gt; Go to' and jump to previous/next chapter.
* More parameters
Click 'Setting -&gt; Output video settings', here you can choose different profile, video/audio bitrates, video size, disable video/audio, aspect ratio, frame/sample rate, etc.
If you are not familiar with these options, please view the descriptions listed at the bottom of the window.
*Crop/cut&amp;Resize the movie
If you want to make the widescreen dvd(16:9) to be outputted as fullscreen(4:3) video, you can use the crop function.
Set Crop to &quot;Crop both black bands&quot; and resize to be &quot;stretch to full screen&quot; if you don't need to keep the subtitle.
Set crop to &quot;Crop the upper black band&quot; so you can keep the subtitle in the down black band.

If you want to rip your DVD by chapters to into separated output files (for example your music DVDs, TV Episode DVDs), you can use the batch conversion rip mode, just ticket out the titles you want to convert and click convert.
You can switch this two modes by clicking on the mode-Direct&amp;Batch.

      <description><![CDATA[Hi Wyldeck:

Best way is to edit all the clips to the timeline and apply a submaster flip effect to an empty track that will automatically flip all the clips for you.

To do this: Add an empty track (preferrably a V24 track - without nothing on it).  You can add a V24 track by holding down the alt key when you create a new track.

Place the flip effect onto V24.  It will affect all the layers below it.  Better yet, lock and hide V24 so you don't need to worry about it.

You can lock a track my right clicking on the track indicator.  You can hide a track using the timeline menu and selecting 'show track - hide V24'.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mike,

I usually don't work with QuickTime references files but here's a workflow to try if you haven't already.  Maybe try using a self contained QuickTime video file and however many video segments you need, import that amount of videos into the Batch tree (main interface of Squeeze).  Then trim each video clip by adding your desired in a out points.    

-----
You can try choosing Good instead of Best for your compression speed.  Best produces the best quality but will take longer to encode.

---

You can also try 1-pass VBR over 2-pass VBR but this will lower the final quality of your file.  
-----
Another option is to do a 1-pass Quality VBR.  This should at least cut time in half but the quality of your video will be related to the Quality setting you choose in the video encoder settings.

      <description><![CDATA[Hi Ryan:

Unfortunately, the Avid Media Composer software is not supported on Leopard yet. That might be part of the problem.  I have a customer who is going to install a MOJO SDI on his new 8-Core sometime tomorrow.  I'll let you know if he has any success.

Otherwise, you'll need to be patient for the next release MC 2.30 which supports Leopard.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi Jeff:

Missing render files are a real pain.  Forget about trying to re-link audio render files.  All you need to do is re-render the sequence.

Question:  It seems odd that you would ever need to render audio, unless you are running an extremely old version of Final Cut Pro.  Which version of Final Cut Pro are you running?

That being said, make sure your video cameras are set to record 16 bit audio and not 12 bit. The default setting on most camera's is 12 bit audio which wreaks havoc with Final Cut Pro.

Also, [url=http://www.geniusdv.com/weblog/archives/audio_problems_with_final_cut_pro.php]make sure all of your audio elements are exactly 48Khz before importing them into Final Cut Pro.[/url]  Otherwise, you may run into some serious issues, including keeping everything in sync on sequences that exceed more than 3 minutes.  For example, if you are using any mp3 or audio CD files, those files will need to be converted to 48Khz before you use them in Final Cut Pro.]]></description>

      <author>dvadmin</author>
      <description><![CDATA[Hi Wyldeck:

You can add an effects sub-master to an empty track which will affect everything below it.  To do this:

Add a new video track.  Place the flop filter onto the top most track which is empty.  The flip filter will affect everything below it.  You can trim the track to affect areas of clips that are below it.

Unfortunately, you cannot add a time-warp effect as a sub-master.  You would have to do an actual video mixdown.  Therefore you'll have to do that step last.

FYI:  Avid Xpress has been discontinued, so everyone will be upgrading to Media Composer.  Yes I agree, there were a lot features Avid left out of Avid Xpress Pro, because they wanted to up-sell to Media Composer.  Now, it's no longer an issue.

Media Composer has some great features, including tracking, and full vector based paint.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Thanks for that link, it was very helpful. Still not to the standard of FCP but is getting there. This reason alone for me is the reason why I would choose Media composer. The kind of stuff I edit requires this technique alot and I'm surprised that you need to go as far as Media Composer to achieve it efficently. 

I have 2 question though. I'm working with lens adapter footage so the image is flipped.

1) Whats the best way to batch flip or manage flipped images in Avid. There is an XML treatment already made for FCP called 'rotate clips': http://www.spherico.com/filmtools/rotateClips/index.html
Do you know if there is one for Avid?

2) When I went to use time warp on a clip I already had a colour correction filter and a flip flop filter on my clip in the timeline. When I went to add time warp its said 'clip does not apply'. Whats the deal?]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Asking again.  My &quot;adding transitions&quot; using the same &quot;Effects -&gt; Video Transitions&quot; and for almost always the very most used &quot;Cross-Dissolve&quot; does not act the same way on similar sights!  For example, with lets say 4 pictures (steady pictures to be included into the movie), some of these photos will join with something like &quot;Cross-Dissolve&quot; and some of the others will not accept the same transition - or some will be usual and an identical two photos maybe reduce the position on only the first edge and not attached to the next edge.  Please, I need to understand this.  Please help me.

      <description><![CDATA[1. In FCP you have a duration box (opposite the tc box in viewer and finder). I know these are also found in some kind of a drop down menu in Avid on source and record monitors. But how can I manually adjust the duration (out point) by typing in a time myslef (like you can in FCP)?

2. Also,in FCP I was able to position the play head and type (for example) + 15 and it would jump 15 frames. How do I do this in Avid?

3. Also, in FCP, double clicking a clip would load to the viewer and modifications could be made. What's the equivalent in Avid?

Speed ramping in FCP is easy because you can chop in the timeline, the bits of the video you want slowed down and sped up. And it would just update in the timeline. How would I do this in Avid?]]></description>

What editing software are you using to edit your film?  For basic sub-titles, you could just the program's title tool.

      <description><![CDATA[hi,
ive spent 2 days experimenting with exporting a 120minute video, the original file is 16G, it needs to be 2G in size, i finally was able to do this using H264 Quicktime, 720x480,without using compressor but i put the quality of the processor at medium. It seems fine, but i still doubt that it could be better...

My question is, how can i get the best quality but keep the movie file compacted.
What is the best way to export this video. should i use compressor? if so, what configurations should i use?

Thank you!

      <description><![CDATA[John,

After I downloaded boot camp on the read before you install instructions it says that it is a licensed for use on a trial basis for a limited time.
1. Does that means it will stop working after a period of time?
2. It also says that you needs Windows XP with SP2. IT says Do not install an earlier version of WIN XP and attempt to update it later to SP2.
Since I have one that does not have the SP2 on it, Does it means that it won't work?

Thanks!]]></description>

I'm trying to animate a single circle shape superposed on my clip, frame by frame, by moving the position of the circle manually for each frame. The weird thing is, the circle is not in the center. I use the cross and click in the frame to position the circle precisely, but the circle is not a the same location, like on this picture:

[img]http://www.3zsoftware.com/divers/circlecenter.png[/img]

And when I move the circle for a given frame, it's seemingly changing position (visually) after I change another frame. Say I change frame 1, everything's fine, then I change frame 2 and 3. When I go back to frame 1, the circle is not positioned correctly anymore...

What can cause that? Any solution? Thanks for your help...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi people...

I imported a piece of video in Final Cut Pro, following a rather unorthodox path. I recorded the original footage with a 10-year old analog Sony Camcorder, very ordinary. Then, I burned the video on a DVD using a VCR Cassette/DVD recorder. Then, I copied the video file (.VOB ) on my hard drive, converted it into DV, and import it into Final Cut Pro. So the final video format looks like this:

DV/DVCPRO - NTSC
720 x 480
Framerate: 29.97 fps
Data rate: 6.9 MB/sec
Field Dominance: Lower (Even)

Audio 48.0 KHz, 32-bit Floating Point

I'm not very knowledgeable in video formats, but it seems it's an interleaving problem, because the image looks like it's made of horizontal lines. It's more apparent when there's a lot a movement in the picture. Here's an example when I create a freeze frame of a high movement sequence:

[img]http://www.3zsoftware.com/divers/interleaving.png[/img]

You can see the horizontal lines in the picture. What could cause that? Is there any way to correct that at this point?

      <title>[DVD Studio Pro] How to put DVD into Windows Movie Maker and iMovie</title>
      <link>http://www.geniusdv.com/avid-fcp//read.php?8,7694,7694#msg-7694</link>

      <description><![CDATA[If you want to edit a DVD movie with Windows Movie Maker or import several DVD clips into Mac iMovie to build a new DVD, but you get frustrated with the DVD format, this guide may help you solve the problem. 

Before you get started, it will be helpful if you learn something about the DVD, WMM and iMovie.
General DVDs have CSS copy protection in MPEG-2 or VOB format.
[B](Windows) [/B]Windows Movie Maker supports WMV, AVI and MPG video files.
[B](Mac) [/B]iMovie accepts MOV and MPEG4 video files. 
 
This guide includes three parts;

1. How to put DVD movie into Windows Movie Maker. 
2. How to add DVD clips to Apple Mac iMovie 
Tip: How to convert MSWMM file to other video formats. 

[B]Part1. How to put DVD movie into Windows Movie Maker[/B]

Step1. To put a DVD movie into Windows Movie Maker, you have to rip your DVD to WMV or AVI video first, and then you can load it into Windows Movie Maker. I’d prefer using Aimersoft DVD Ripper to do this. You can get this program at: [url]http://www.aimersoft.com/dvd-ripper.html[/url] Then install and run it, put your DVD disc into your DVD drive, click “Load DVD” to locate your DVD file and import it, or load it by clicking “Load File” to add DVD IFO file. (This DVD Ripper can rip copyright protected DVD movies, but you should remember that it’s illegal rip DVD for any business purposes) 

[IMG]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2331/2378283043_7da764f9d1_o.jpg[/IMG]

[B]Step2. Select output format and subtitle[/B]
After you load the DVD files, click the format drop-down list to select [B]“WMV – Windows Media Video (*.wmv)”[/B] or [B]“AVI – Audio Video Interleaved (*.avi)” [/B]as the output format. A regular DVD movie has multiple subtitles and audio tracks, and you can select the right one for you. If you just want a certain part of the DVD movie, you can click “trim” to cut the DVD movie. Just drag the timeline bar to set the start and end time, and then blue line will be the captured parts.

[img]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2267/2379121738_191398c88a_o.jpg[/img]

For advanced user, if you want to output higher quality video, click the “Settings” button to open the panel, here you can customize video bitrate, audio bitrate, resolution, framerate, etc. Higher bitrate will result in bigger file size.

[B]Step3. Start to convert[/B]
After the above steps, you just need to click “Start” and wait for the conversion to be finished. It takes about 40 minutes to convert a common two hours DVD movie. 

[B]Step4. Edit DVD with Windows Movie Maker (optional)[/B]
Run Windows Movie Maker, in the “Movie Task” bar, click “Add Video” to browse your computer and located the converted files, and then you can start to make personal movies.

Tips: Many users may wonder how they can convert Windows Movie Maker file (*.MSWMM) to other video format. Actually, A *.MSWMM file is not a video file. It is a project file of Movie Maker (more like a record file). You have to open this file in Windows Movie Maker and save the movie to your computer: Go to Movie Tasks bar &gt; Finish Movie &gt; Save to my computer. After that you will have a WMV file which can be converted to another video format or burned to DVD.


[B]Part2. How to add DVD clips into Apple iMovie[/B]
iMovie is similar to Windows Movie Maker, it supports MOV and MP4 video, so you just need to convert your DVD movie to the right format. Aimersoft DVD Ripper has a Mac Version which supports both Mac OS Tiger and Leopard; you can download it for free from here:
[url]http://www.aimersoft.com/dvd-ripper-for-mac.html[/url]
The operation steps are similar to the windows version, so I will not bother to repeat everything here.

[img]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3163/2379122666_9e39647301_o.jpg[/img]

When the conversion is finished, you can run the iMovie, build a new project, and then drag the converted files to the work space to make personal files.

When the task is finished, In the Menu bar, Click &quot;File&quot; -&gt; &quot;Export&quot; and save it as QuickTime video, then you can convert it to other video format or burn it to DVD.

      <description><![CDATA[Hi Dave:

Sorry, this is a tough one without seeing what's actually happening.

Are you certain your DV camera it set to 48k audio? (or 16 bit - same thing)? If not that may be why you're getting all those extra tracks.  However, I must say I've never seen a DV camera spit record 6 tracks of audio.  

You should be able to replace multiple tracks of audio all at the same time, just make sure all of your audio tracks are patched together correctly.

In other words:  After you perform the match frame, make sure the timeline tracks are patched correctly. 

A1 = A1
A2 = A2, and so on.

FYI:  You can also set your audio patches up like this:

A2 = A1
A1   A2 (leave this patch disconnected)

perhaps this is what you want?  This would replace A1 audio with A2 audio.

As long as you've got the original source media in the viewer (with all the original audio tracks), you should be able to replace those clips back into the timeline using the blue-replace function.

*You are running Final Cut 5.1 or higher, yes?]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The original tape was two track dv. There should be no surround sound.

To clarify: I filmed this, and I only recorded from the camera mic, except when there was an interview - in which case, a sound tech was holding a second microphone  and recording on the camera's second channel.

On these interview parts, there are two tracks of audio. The audio I want to keep on the timeline is the second channel, coming from the microphone being held by the sound tech.

On the edit, the secondary track, teh one with the voice of the person being interviewed, had been deleted, and the audio track from the camera mic still on the timeline. 

What I want to do is to restore both audio tracks to the timeline. Presently, there is only the one track- the one I don't want.

I want to be able to do this without having to go back to the source clip and dragging it back on the timeline... is this what you mean by &quot;doing each track seperately&quot;?

Once again, thanks for your response.

What is the original source of your video clips?  Did they come from tape?  6 tracks usually indicates it is a clip that contains surround sound.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hello again:

I tried it and it worked. Thank you very much!

This situation get's sticky for our substitute editor, however(me), when he finds that there are also places on the timeline where the main audio has been deleted deleted (the one from the guy holding the microphone), and only the audio track from the camera mic is on the timeline. 

When I try the method you showed me to restore BOTH tracks where there was only one (pressing f), only the existing track is replaced with ittself - meaning, the other (main) track is still not there.

Another curious thing about this is that the captured clips are shown in the viewer to have several audio tracks - five of them blank. How could this have happened?

Any ideas?

Best,

      <description><![CDATA[Thanks for replying. No way to test on another computer - I'm pretty isolated here. There are only 4 audio tracks in these sequences, and they are all only about 20 mins long so that rules out the excessive audio creation theory. Even when I delete the audio entirely from the timeline then try to export, it still turns out a huge 5GB QT file. It simply makes no sense - some of these sequences export properly as QT ref files, others don't. And as I said before, all the sequences are very similar. I'm running FCP 5.1.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi,

Are you running Final Cut Studio 2.0?

I'm not 100% sure of what's going on with your system. Are any of your sequences referencing a large number of audio tracks?  Remember, QuickTime reference will only reference video files.  If you have audio with your show, it will always create self-contained media for the audio.

That being said, you are right.  5GB would seem it's not referencing the original video files.  

A good test would be to export your QuickTime ref movie again and see if it plays on another computer.  If it does, then you'll know it's a self-contained movie, and something isn't working correctly.]]></description>

Some of these sequences are exported successfully in under a minute, with a very small file size (as you would expect for a ref file), while others take up to 30 minutes to export and weigh in at 5GB - surely indicating that it is not actually a ref file but a self-contained file that has been created. The sequences are all roughly the same length with no rendering required, and I always select 'current vid/aud settings' and make sure the 'self-contained file' box is not ticked. Any idea what is going on? I can't take many more 5GB files on my drive.]]></description>

Park over the video clip within the Final Cut Pro timeline.  First press the 'X' key which will mark the area around your video clips with IN/OUT points.

      <description><![CDATA[Hi Sean:

Are you using Apple Compressor to compress your videos?  If so, you can [url=http://www.geniusdv.com/weblog/archives/converting_interlaced_mpg2_movies_to_progressive_scan.php]enable the frame controls within Apple Compressor to create better looking movies.[/url]  Using frame controls is basically the equivalent of using a $30,000 real-time encoder.  The only draw-back is the amount of compression time.]]></description>

i am new to Final Cut and i am learning it these days. I am watchting the learning videos from lynda.com &quot;final cut pro 6 - essential editing&quot;


(in case you got the learnvideos: 05_06_fittofilledit-mov and 05_07_storyboard.mov)

I am now in the chapter &quot;fit to fill edit&quot;... 

so i also did it that way but now it says in the Canvas &quot;Not Redered&quot; ..

And further i did a Storyboard editing in which i dragged multiple clips to &quot;overwrite with transition&quot; 

by playing it shows the clips one after another but as soon as there should be a transition it says &quot; Not Rendered&quot; in the Canvas

but in the learnvideo it is functioning directly..


am i doing something wrong or am i missing something..

thanks for any help

After I created 10 sec. motion photos in After Effect. I brought them to FCP, when I double clicked the file to load in the viewer it crashed. I am trying to open FCP and it keeps crashing.
I have Quicktime 7.4.1 installed, how do I removed it in order to install 7.3?
When I tried to install 7.3 it tells me that a newer version is already installed.

Do you think it could be Quicktime or the way I am exporting the photos?

I am exporting them as a quicktime movie with compressor H264 and bringing them to a HDV project]]></description>

I'm sorry about your problems.  It sounds like your issue revolves around something much more serious.

The shared folder is simply a place where each OS X user can freely read and write in terms of permissions.  It won't solve issues with corrupted programs.

I reccomend that you purchase a program called [url=http://www.alsoft.com/diskwarrior/]Disk Warrior from 'Alsoft' to fxied damaged OS X partitions.[/url] It's a must have for any OS X user.]]></description>

If all that material is on the same internal drive, you can just move all the material into the shared folder. Sorry, that's what I actually meant.

When you log in as the other OS X user, you can leave all your material in the shared folder, or move it out.

The shared folder is located within the following directory:

Mac HD / Users / Shared

Anything placed in that folder will be accessible by every Mac OS X user.

It's a good thing that you've repaired your hard-disk.  That's probably why your OS X user became corrupted.

I would create a new user and migrate everything to the new user.  I would then copy everything over to the new user using the (shared) folder.  Then I would delete the old user account.

I hope this helps.]]></description>

Like you mention, it sounds like corrupted OS X settings.  Have you tried rebuilding the driver permissions using the disk utility?  The Disk utility is located in your applications / utilities folder.

Worse case scenerio, move all of your stuff from the old OS X user into the shared folder and then re-open what you need from the other user.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I'm confused:  If you are capturing from BetaCam why not capture your audio at 48k?  BetaCam is an analog format it doesn't matter how you capture the audio.

If it's an off-set problem, then I suspect an audio monitoring issue.  If you plug headphones into your computer and watch your sequence (on your computer), do it play in sync?

Remember if you are converting analog audio to DV audio, there is going to be a slight delay (a couple of frames) during the conversion process.  Maybe this is what your noticing?  How is the betacam deck hooked up?  Perhaps the audio and video aren't being routed together, which is causing the offest.  This is my guess on what's happening.

Also, Can you verify something for me?

Are you toggling your audio project settings between 48.0k and 44.1 within the audio project settings?  Because, it's not possible to capture 44.1K audio into a 48K project without problems.  You have to toggle the project settings back and forth.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hello,

I'm trying to produce a .m4p file from my Adrenaline suite.  The project I'm trying to copy is rather long - in excess of three hours.  Using the iPod export setting, I'm getting the following message:

EXCEPTION:AUDIOEXPORT_FILE_TOO_LARGE,NEEDED_IN_kb:2898547

Does anyone know if this message refers to a changeable pre-set?  and if so, how do I change it?  It isn't imperative that the project is exported in its entirety - in fact, I've split the project into chunks which is exporting nicely as I'm writing, but I would like to know if is possible to export larger projects.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can advise.

      <description><![CDATA[The original footage was all standard DV 25 footage, the 44.1 footage was given to me from someone else who transferreed it to dv from a Beta tape. Im not sure how it got to be 44.1 THats why i originally had to change the audio project settings to 44.1 in order to capture. I'm capturing via direct from camera to computer. Upon examining the footage it looks like its out of sync by the same amount constantly and doesnt seem to drift more out of sync with time. the strange thing is trying to continue to capture from this project will yield out of sync footage but capturing in older projects wont. importing footage from this project to older projects still leaves the footage out of sync. And exporting a same source also creates an out of sync quicktime. Making new projects also causes the same problem. Only the older projects seem to be ok. Not sure how to toggle the DV output but i could try that too. ANy other suggestions? Maybe re-install Mediacomposer?]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi,

Are you saying the sequence drifts out of sync? Or is it a sync offset. These are two different issues.

It's extremely rare that a DV format would recorded at 44.1k.  You must be caputring from an analog source.  If that's the case, are you coming into an Avid MOJO or Adrenaline I/O box?

What tape format are you capturing from?  I'm guessing BetaCam?

If your experiencing a sync offset, are you certain you are monitoring the systems audio directly from the Computer, and NOT back through your deck?  

If the sequence is drifting out of sync (over-time), then you've have an entirely different issue you'll have to deal with.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[hey John this is actually a weird problem, i changed my project setting to 44.1 captured the video and then changed the sample rate, but now all my footage is out of sync. ANd if i try to capture more its out of sync, It plays fine on the camera though, and even stranger when i capture in an older project from before the video is in sync. But for some reason the project even when i capture now, the video is out of sync. Have you heard of this? Will i have to recapture all my footage? or do you think there might be some project setting i accidently changedand didnt change back, that can put back all the existing footage in sync.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Have Jan:

Two things:  #1 you'll have to adjust your project settings to 44.1 in order to record the 44.1 audio.  Then is done by navigating to the project window and double clicking on the audio project settings.

#2, I reccomend that you highlight all the 44.1k clips and convert the sample rate to 48k.  You can do this by highlighting the clip and navigating to the clip menu &gt; change sample sate.]]></description>

However, some new things i have to digitize have audio at 44.1, but i cant seem to find a way to import the video into the 48k project and not have the audio be oiut of sync, Is there a workaround for this that anyone knows of?

      <description><![CDATA[Hi,

Make sure you are using the correct HDV settings for your project.  If you've verified your project settings are correct then the best way to troubleshoot this is problem is to strip your machine down to the basics.  Here is what I would do:

#1 Disconnect all external devices (including external hard drives, printers, usb hubs, etc.)
#2 Try to record a practice clip to the internal hard-drive (meaning the C: drive)

If that doesn't work, switch out the firewire cable (I reccomend using 3ft or shorter - shielded cable).  I've experienced major problems using cables that are in the 6ft range.

If that still doesn't work, I would try a different tape.  Worse case, shoot some new video on a new tape to ensure there aren't any timecode drop-outs.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[What is with the Compressor people?

I was at an apple store playing around with Compressor (V 3.0.2) and for the life of me I could not change any video, audio or destination settings. All settings are grayed out, unchangeable. I have version 3.0 and I am able to make changes and save them as custom settings.
After an hour of going from mac to mac and verifying that all of them are the same , I realized there is now a Different way to make changes. 
You have to FIRST drag a particular setting up to the job window for submittal, select it and THEN you can make changes from THAT source. You can now NOT select any setting in the browser window and make changes from that source anymore.
That you Compressor for the heads up!!!!]]></description>

I was working on final cut this morning and my client pulled out a memory stick as i was using it and it notonly did it force the Mac to crash, but now FCP wont start after it loads all the plugins.

I have had a problem like this before on FCP5 and i could access a settings folder and delete a cache file and it would start working again. however i cant find this in FCP?6. Is there any way around this? Do i need to reinstall? Has anyone had this before!? I dont even know how to uninstall FCP!

Thanks

      <description><![CDATA[Mike,

I believe your issue is happening on the web authoring side.  If you don't have a play attribute in your embed, object and javascript code video videos will play automatically unless it's embedded into the .swf file to pause at first frame.  So in your html code look and see if their are other attributes and if there are just make a copy of that code and include one of the play attribute.  For example for the object tags the code would look like this.



You need to do this for embed, object and the javascript code.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I've seen tons of preview disabled posts and just wanted to throw in:

I had just upgraded Mac OSX, and gotten a new external hard drive. When all that got installed suddenly FCP was all color bars, but VTR OK and timecode was running. 
Here's what you do:
-Check iMovie. If iMovie can see your video and FCP can't, then your set up is ok, you need to try running updates.

-If iMovie don't work, it may be a firewire/daisy chain issue. Shut everything down, unplug all your firewires, and plug your deck straight into the back of your computer. If that works, then somewhere in all the firewires FCP got mad and decided not to look at your video. Simplify your set up; i.e when you want to capture, just have your deck/camera running straight into your computer or 1 hard drive. 

For me iMovie was working, and FCP was getting timecode, but there was no video. 
If this is your case:
- Check software updates. As of 2/15/08 there was a new quicktime update (7.4.1 I think) and a ProKit update (which works with FCP and some other stuff) Install these updates and try again. This is what worked for me. Hope this helps.]]></description>

&gt;A better way to copy/paste tracks is to work in Source/Record mode. Then hold down &gt;the alt key while pressing (c). This will load the highlighted area of your &gt;sequence directly into your source window, which can then be used to re-edit into &gt;your sequence.

Hi again dvadmin..
do you know if this way works well with media composer 2.7?
Because it seems to be removed ¿?¿?]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi,

To enter into effects mode, you must place the playhead on top of your clip in the timeline, then press the 'effects editor' button.  

Yes, the animation codec is one of the few common QuickTime codecs that supports an alpha channel.  

However, you cannot export back out from Avid with an Alpha Channel.  The same goes for many other non linear systems.  You can import with an alpha, but you won't be able to export.

You'll need a program like After Effects if you want to be able to import and export with an alpha channel.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In regards to submasters, I'm not exactly sure what you are asking.  

If your looking to load a submaster into the Source Window, you can do this by:

Entering effects mode while parked on the sub-master.  Then drag the effects icon from the upper right corner of the Effects Editor while holding down the option key.  This will drag the effect icon (with source media) into a bin.  You can then use this effect (i.e. submaster) just like you would use a regular clip.

You can move clips around using the (trim arrow keys) while in segment mode.  the Trim arrow keys are different than the standard arrow keys. 

It is not possible to Export a QuickTime movie from Avid Xpress or Media Composer with an alpha channel. It's not an supported option. It doesn't work.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi Clark:

I apologize.  I went back through my steps, and had the same issues you are having.  However, I finally came up with a workflow that might work for you, that is much easier.

All you need to do is:

Right click on your DV sequence within the Browser Window and choose 'settings'.  Then load the HDV sequence preset.  This will force all the clips to fit within an HDV aspect ratio.  

All the clips should be the wrong size within the HDV frame.  Highlight ALL the clips in the timeline, and right click on them.  Choose 'remove attributes' from the contextual menu.  Then remove the 'motion' and filters attributes.  This will reformat everything back to normal.

There is one catch using this method.  It will reset all the Motion paths and filters for all of your clips.  Unfortunately, there isn't a way to just remove one particular filter, or one particular motion attribute.  It's all or nothing.

One alternate method would be to nest everything into one layer and manually resize the entire timeline.

Let me know if that works for you.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi John,

Here's a little more detail about my situation.  I no longer have access to both systems.  I did three-quarters of the editing on Avid Xpress.  I grabbed everything I could think of (the .aiff files being the biggest thing) before I lost access to that machine.  Basically this is why I will never encourage anyone to start a movie unless everything is in place to actually finish it.  Kinda like going to war with no exit strategy.  A big mistake on my part.

Anyway, I gained access to a Mac last summer that had Avid and FCP6, and was able to rebuild the project in FCP, four audio tracks at a time through EDL import.  I've heard of Automatic Duck, but I don't have the extra money for it, and I have no access to Avid.  Right now I have access to FCP5 (which won't open the newly created FCP project that I made in version 6--I'm waiting on a software upgrade from my employer and trying to iron out all potential issues before that).

So, I wonder if FCP will recognize these .aiff files by their Avid names and allow me to re-link the files without alteration.  In case not, I am planning on re-naming the files.  I guess I'll have to listen to each file in I-Tunes and cross reference my old notes, giving them a logical name.  This will work, but the first option is preferable (so I'm keeping a copy of the files with their original names).

This all boils down to the bitter fact that I've spent at least 2-years too long on this project and I just want to finish it.  I'm looking for the best and easiest way.  I know it must be possible to do what I'm attempting.  

Let me know if you have any other pointers.

Thanks!
Brian]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi Brian:

There is no science to how the Avid names audio files.  You won't be able to find a pattern.  That being said, there is a great trick you can use to create REAL names within the OMFI Mediafiles folder.

Within your Avid software, navigate to the tools menu select 'Console'.  Within the Console window type the command 'renamemediafiles'.  This will change the name of all your mediafiles into real names.

PLEASE back up ALL of your Avid media before doing this.  I've never had a problem with it before, you you never know what may happen.  Also, depending on how many files you have, it may take awhile to rename them all.

Please let me know if that works for you.

It sounds like you've already created and imported an EDL, but you might take a look at some software called [url=http://www.automaticduck.com/products/pefcp/]Automatic Duck that will convert your Avid Sequence into a Final Cut Pro sequence.[/url]. Maybe they can offer some assistance on what your trying to do.]]></description>

      <title>[Avid Xpress] Moving Feature Film from Avid to Final Cut</title>
      <link>http://www.geniusdv.com/avid-fcp//read.php?7,7599,7599#msg-7599</link>
      <author>bkmkingsbury@yahoo.com</author>
      <description><![CDATA[It's a long story, but I'm moving my feature film from Avid Xpress to FCP.  

I took the video as a whole and added color correction, but I need to get into the 10-channel mix from Avid and change individual elements.  

I was able to create a FCP project using the import-EDL function.  And I have the original .aiff files from Avid, so I'd like to re-link them to this new project in FCP.  

Here's the confusion:  How does Avid get the file names of the .aiffs (D0011A2DA01.42001D69.B8C6C0)?  I can tell you that the reel this clip came from was &quot;D001.&quot;  After that I'm lost.  Looking for a pattern.

Of course, there are probably a few more surprises waiting for me on this project, so if anyone has any ideas, experience or advise, I welcome it.

Thanks!

      <description><![CDATA[I edited my project in a 720/480 sequence, but my footage is HDV. I didn't 
realize till I was done.

Now when I try and copy and paste my cuts and clips from the old sequence 
into a HDV sequence it makes the footage even smaller.

Is there a way to get what I've cut into a proper HDV sequence, with out having

      <description><![CDATA[Not necessarily, that's where it needs to be lit correctly.  Your going to run into having shadows regardless of whether your shoot with a white backdrop or on greenscreen.

Eliminating shadows is done by matching the amount of light on the backdrop versus the amount of light on your subject. You'll want to use a soft light to light your subject. The further you stand from the background, the easier it is to light without having shadows.

If your subject is too close to the backdrop, you'll need to light from above and the sides to eliminate the shadows.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Well,

The whole idea would be to use a white background that covers your entire action.  That way you don't need to key anything out.

But yes, I think I understand what you are getting at.  You can key out any color and put whatever you want within that color space.  Of course, getting a good looking chroma key is a tricky process (as you'll soon find out, especially if you are using Avid Xpress.)  

If you plan on doing any sort of chroma keying, plan on investing in some good quality chroma keying software, or a plug-in for Avid Xpress.  I doubt, the standard Chroma key filter within Avid Xpress is going to give you the quality you are looking for. 

Good luck on this.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi,

That effect is done in a studio with a white backdrop.  The backdrop is curved to create the illusion of an infinate background.  Most production studios would have a space you could rent.

You can certainly key in a white background, but if your actors need to move around, it may be difficult to obtain a good key in terms of keeping them lit properly.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hello,

I am a low-budget videographer. I am currently making a short music video and I am trying to go for a background effect which I've never attempted to try before and was thinking it would probably need blue screens to make it happen, but then was thinking perhaps a post-effect in my avid program could produce the desired effect.

I am looking to create a completely white background - universally for my human characters to perform in. Kind've like the Matrix movie..that part where Morpheus brings Neo into the vacuous white space to first explain how the matrix works. Member that part?

Is there anyone who can help me produce this effect or if it's not possible in Avid, maybe even explain how I could build a make-shift blue screen(s) for cheap? (if the post-effect can't be done) If anybody has knowledge on this area, please drop me a line, i would really appreciate.

Hoping there's a cheap way to get this done..]]></description>

      <author>skrees</author>
      <description><![CDATA[The A/V sync drifts progressively on long clips, no matter what I do... I'm capturing footage that was recorded onto mini-DV at a sample rate of 32khz. Even if I want it to be 48, I'm stuck with the master tapes being 32 and suspect this may be the problem - I read the thread from last July at:
http://www.geniusdv.com/avid-fcp//read.php?1,7004,7249
This was a very helpful thread, because it seemed like exactly the same problem I was having.

So I followed the advice given in the above thread, namely I manually tweaked the audio settings in FCP to capture the footage at 32khz rather than 48. (I also had to manually set it to capture the 2nd two tracks rather than the first two, or it wouldn't pick up the audio tracks which were recorded via external mikes on a Canon XL1. Hopefully this isn't throwing anything off?) And after this, I tried doing the conversion suggested, i.e. I opened the file in QuickTime then exported the audio into a 48Khz file, then placed this on my timeline in place of the old one.

End result: I was feeling optimistic, but alas it is exactly the same as before - the sync still drifts progressively and no different from before the conversion (it's not noticeable at the start of a clip, but after half an hour is very noticeable)... I have no idea why, and have spent already many days trying different things, to no avail...

I have 18 hours of footage to capture and edit in a tight timeframe, but this has me stumped and desperate!! Any advice anyone could offer would be much appreciated...

What am I doing wrong? I know I must be doing something wrong, but I don't know what it is...]]></description>

Are you sure your export settings in AE are set up correctly?  Unfortunately, I we are running AE CS3 and the settings are a little different.

Here is how I would troubleshoot this.

Before and After exporting your movie, I would load it into QuickTime Pro and get 'movie info' to make sure the file is exactly 25fps.  This way, you'll be able to tell whether it's an FCP export issue or an AE export issue.

      <description><![CDATA[Jeff,
Thats what I BELIEVE that I have doing, I think I really need the &quot;Compressor 101&quot; class (just on this subject). I am just not understanding Exactly How to do this.
I am able to select settings for both audio and video, just not settings for destination, there seems to be something very suttle, something just not clear, something out of the ordinary that I just do not see.

Please try to picture me dragging folders, highlighting various items and encountering error messages when I select &quot;Submit&quot;
Thanks]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Just how do you specify a destination for the video and audio output? (when using compressor)
I created a new destination and dragged it up to where the video and audio jobs are set for submission. If I drag a destination up there I get an error about something not complete when I &quot;Submit&quot;
Or do you just create a destination and then just highlight it?

I tried that and the audio went where I want it, but the video did not.

      <description><![CDATA[It used to be with FCP 4.5 I would click on the video generator and select &quot;Boris&quot;-&quot;Title 3D&quot; and I would be presented with the tile editor.

I now bit on several metal bullets and purchased Final Cut Studio 2 to find that after selecting &quot;Boris&quot;-Title 3D I get nothing, no title editor. Instead, I have to select the &quot;Controls&quot; tab and click on the button to open the editor. AND after clicking on &quot;Apply&quot; I no longer have the &quot;Video&quot; tab selected automatically, I have to do it manually (to drag it where I want it).
Is this on purpose or is it a (god forbid) a bug???]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi Mike:

Yes you are correct.  However, within the Final Cut Pro render manager, you should be able to delete just the render files for a particular sequence.  

The best workflow is to delete ALL the render files before you are ready to output, and then render one last final time. This will be better for archival purposes, since you won't be archiving useless render files.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi Sean:

The absolute best way to is purchase a plug-in that will do this for you.  [url=http://www.cgm-online.com/eiperle/cgm_screenshots_vc_e.html]CGM online[/url] has some amazing filters that are suprisingly affordable.  For $99.00 you can download the 1st version of plug-ins that they have a 'soft wipe' transition that will do the job for you.  You don't necessarily need the 'film burn fx' plugin.

If you are one of the early adopters of Final Cut Pro.  3.0 actually shipped with the first set of 'GCM' plug-ins. You can carry them over to the latest version of Final Cut Studio.

I am certain you could create this effect on your own.  I did some experimenting, but it wasn't an easy process.  Unless you have a lot of compositing experience, I reccomend you buy the plug-in.]]></description>

I've had this happen to me recently.  It turns out, Final Cut Pro is VERY dependent on QuickTime.  Unfortunately, since there is no longer support for Final Cut Pro 4.5, Apple no longer checks for compatbility issues with QuickTime.

I'd reccomend re-installing the [url=http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=quicktime]old version of QuickTime.[/url].

One issue you are going to have, is uninstalling the current version.

Worse case scenerio, you'll have to re-install OS X.  Whatever you do, DO NOT update to the latest version of QuickTime. 

Minus going through all that drama, you might consider biting the bullet and [url=http://store.apple.com/AppleStore/WebObjects/BizCustom?qprm=78313&amp;productLearnMore=MA886Z/A]upgrading to Final Cut Studio 2.0.[/url]]]></description>

I started up the mac and installed 2 software updates as prompted for and one failed, something about target newer.

I started fcp and discovered that it crashes after about 3- 4 minutes, this is with a new tape and a tape I previously captured 2 hours of video from.

I trashed my prefs files, com.apple.finalcutpro.prefs, and the preferences file under user data and the cache file under user data.

Now FCP &quot;quits unexpectedly&quot; every time I start up.

I have a second user log on for the mac and FCP will run but it still crashes after 3-4 minutes of capture.

I reinstalled fcp and fix.

Apple tech support no longer will provide support for 4.5 hd.

      <link>http://www.geniusdv.com/avid-fcp//read.php?7,7554,7556#msg-7556</link>
      <author>dvadmin</author>
      <description><![CDATA[Hi Michael:

The pan and zoom effect, is designed to simulate the 'Ken Burns' style of a motion controlled camera.  It allows the Avid to zoom into a full resolution image wih minimal quality loss (depending on the resolution of your image) 

Here is an excellent tutorial on how to use the [url=http://www.geniusdv.com/news_and_tutorials/2008/01/using-pan-and-scan-with-avid-xpress.php]Pan and Zoom effect with Avid Xpress.[/url]

Before you read through the tutorial here are a couple of gotchas:

#1 DO NOT import your hi-res image file into an Avid bin.  This is what you are using the Pan and Zoom effect for.  The Pan and Zoom effect allows you to point to your original file.

#2 To point to your hi-res image file, you'll click on the icon in the extreme upper left corner of the effect editor.  It doesn't even look like a button that you can click on.  It will launch a window where you can select your 'hi-res image file'.

#3 You'll then use the Zoom factor slider to zoom into your image.  You'll see a bounding box showing you the area of the screen that the 'viewer will be seeing'.  Switch between 'Display Source' and 'Display Target' to toggle between the zoom box, and what the end result will be.

I hope this helps.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I am working in HDV. When I capture media it automatically becomes an MXF file.  That media isn't save ed to an OMFI media files folder, is it?  I think it goes to an MXF folder.

Do MXF folders work the same as an OMFI Media folder?  Can I move all the media into a single MXF file and have my computer find all the media?

After I have all the media on one drive as an MXF folder, how do I deal with all the different sequences originating on different computers, perhaps with different settings?

Thanks]]></description>

I am trying to make a trailer and i don't know how to match the clip settings to both types of files, i can only seem to do one or the other. if i match clip setting with the hd footage than the dvx footage looks horrible, and vise versa.  Any suggestions?

      <description><![CDATA[Hi,

Are you referring to all the Avid Media?  If so, as long as all the media is inside an OMFI MediaFiles folder, the new system will see all the files.  

Therefore, grab a new external drive, and (move or copy) all the media into a single OMFI MediaFiles folder.  When that new drive is connected to your computer, the Avid will automatically find all the media.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hello,

Thanks for the quick reply. 
 
Do you have any suggestions on how I should get the movies on to one workstation when they have all been created on other computers.  Do I need to export as something other than HDV such as an uncompressed quicktime and then import each movie to my workstation?  If I do have to export from each other workstation and then import into my workstation what should I use to maintain the best HD quality I can?

Thanks.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi,

You'll have to edit all of your 13 films into one Sequence.  You can do this by selecting all of your Sequences in a bin and drag them all to an empty Avid sequence.

To maintain the quality of your original movie(s), just archive the hard-drive(s).  You might want to copy everything to a single external.

Trust me, it's not worth the pain and anguish of trying to archive your media on a DVD.  It's not a good workflow.  A single DVD will only hold 11 minutes or less of HDV media.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hello,

I need to be able to play or project 13 films, each of which is approximately 5 minutes long, in a theater setting while maintaining high def quality.  The are all HDV projects and I can successfully do a digital cut with individual movies, but I wonder if you have an idea how I can get 13 different movies, each of which was done on a different workstation, on to an HDV tape.

Also, if I am going to export these projects what is the best way to maintain quality.  I'm thinking of archiving and doing DVDs (SD and HD).  

I'm sure I haven't asked all the questions I need to so if you have other insights please let me know.

Thanks.]]></description>

Navigate to the Toolset menu and select 'Basic Toolset.'  This will ensure that nothing else is overlapping your Composer window.

Also, if you are working with two monitors, you must ensure that the Composer window is completely on the left screen.  If it overlaps Monitors by even a pixel, it will not play.]]></description>

When I get the flashing blue border the sequence does not play but show only the first frame. The position indicator moves to the end but the clip does not play.
The blue border is obviously some kind or error message but I don't know how to look up its meaning.

Also, I have not been able (again as early was) to set my control of V1 vision plus A1/A2 sound usually originally as a set to set all three as a set together - that is, I recently suddenly am having to set each of the three sets separately (mostly usually wanted).  How do I (used did) either all three or even the 2 sound tracks always kept together.

Something is wrong with the Final Cut Pro System ID file.  I would go into and delete the system id.  Final Cut Pro will then re-create a new licensing file once you re-enter your serial number.  Then you'll be set to go.

      <title>[Avid Xpress] Avid: color correction query</title>
      <link>http://www.geniusdv.com/avid-fcp//read.php?7,7517,7519#msg-7519</link>
      <author>dvadmin</author>
      <description><![CDATA[Yes,

with Avid Xpress or Media Composer, create a new video track and apply the color correction effect to the top most track.  That track will affect everything below it.

Depending which version of software you are using, you might need to 'unlock' the track by adding an 'add edit' anywhere within the track.  Doing this will allow you to apply an effect to the empty filler, which would affect all the layers below it.

I hope this helps.

      <description><![CDATA[had problems in the suite in uni today, even the technicians didn't know what to do which was pretty disappointing

 basically i messed with the colors on one shot and wanted to apply it to the rest of the sequence, but not knowing any shorter way, i went and just dragged the effect onto every single shot on the timeline and it took so long to render that we got kicked out of the suite for going over our time

also, is there anyway to save a color effect to be used again for say a different sequence?

thanks, any help appreciated]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Lily,

If you client requires a file for the purpose of previewing the project, then the iPhone setting in the Quicktime conversion works great. A 2 minute piece will be about 25 megs and will be 640 by 360. These files play great in iTunes, and since iTunes is a free download for mac &amp; PC, it is a easy solution.

If you are looking to upload a full resolution file, there is no easy way to have your cake and eat it too.

What port do you have the firewire cable plugged into?  Are you using the same exact port that you were using before.  If you are on a Mac Pro, you should always use the firewire port(s) on the back of the machine.

Also, do you have any other devices plugged into your machine that weren't plugged in before?  In other words, remove all the other variables.  Disconnect everything but your camera and see if you can capture a test clip to the internal HD.

If you think it's a setting that has changed, you can always [url=http://www.geniusdv.com/final-cut-pro/user_preferences_in_fcp.php]delete the final cut pro preferences file.[/url]  The default settings of Final Cut Pro should always work.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi,
I'm new to this and have a basic background in FCP.  I just got FCP Studio 2 and I am trying to export clips (each are 2-4 minutes in length) as quicktime files that will be posted/viewed over an FTP site.  What are the best video/audio settings to use that will make it a small file but will still have good quality?

The clips are being viewed to a client over the FTP site so it can't take forever for them to download but it still needs to be a pretty good quality.

I've experimented with some settings but I can't get clips any smaller than 100 MB and takes 20 minutes to upload/download.

Do I need to use compressor?

Thanks for any help!

      <description><![CDATA[I bought the Mac OS X last summer (2006) and the complete Final Cut Studio 5.1 - I was using it but had a problem last summer (2007) and need help from you now that I am trying to get back normal.

Almost last summer (2006) I was hurt by a bicycle (live in Florida, riding it over 15 years almost most days) on a road about a south from my home - the road had bad damage and I did not see it and was in a bad fall - I was in a hospital for about 3 months and I am mostly OK (better almost 95? better- I am 73 years old) OK now, my left brain side had a bad bump and even 6 months I am OK talking, but I have problems reading complicated articles as is the case of the manuals of Final Cut Studio 5.1 and other difficult reading.

Back to the present.  I have maybe 50 or so movies I had taken over the past few years from traveling and I decided to return to my filming time to return what I plan to complete many of my films.  In the spring I had started my grandchildren films completing 2004-2005 films and had started 2004 January thru April, stopped for another job, and finally went to the hospital lastly beginning of July.

Now I am trying to be back again, and I did manage to continue the 2004 films, but I have a big problem and I need your help, PLEASE!  I do not understand the complete part of finishing the job (so far back to 12 months at first completion) for final piece.  The pieces of individual pieces is all put together on to the &quot;Timeline&quot; but I do not seem to be able to complete it to a film (I used to have a cheaper on years ago then I got rid of, that was easier but not as nice as the new one) on a tape.

I tried created the finished product, actually 3 times, and not work to a final film - I have both DVD+R and DVD+RW - not sure if theres something I do not know might be better (?) - would like for you to know my three times: one is a &quot;Final Cut Pro Movie File 1.33 GB 720-480&quot;, the second same one is &quot;QuiceTime Movie 4.15 GB 720-480&quot;, and a third choice (same product same together) was &quot;QuickTime Movie 530.3 MG 320 X 240&quot; (I think this one is too thin?) - and nothing worked.

It will not create a finished film.  Can you help me?  Can we do that at a piece a time?  If my starting point from the &quot;Timeline&quot; need to start from there to make a new start from the follow of the complete of so far, OK unless one of the three completed ones shown to you already shown.  I need the very first next and will follow you to follow if you don't mind.

Waiting to read what you say, thank you.]]></description>

Yes, I agree with Jeff on this issue.  Hard Drives are so in-expensive, it's crazy not to ingest the entire tape.

Plus, most editors would probably agree, that you almost always end up having to go back to the tape to capture additional footage you didn't think you needed.

I don't think batch capturing will matter in the future, especially since everything is moving towards a tapless environment.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Jeff,
I very much agree with your blog post - it's always seemed to me like the scratch disk layout and workflow in FCP encourages you to have a separate archived drive per project. I do however think that the whole process of logging and capturing a tape rather than ingesting the whole thing forces you to think about what you've shot, which shots are good/great/not so great, and what's missing. I've used the drive-per-project/DV start-stop-detect workflow for the last couple of projects I've worked on, but it does tend to encourage my lazy side. I reckon for a disciplined editor, there's almost no reason not to ingest whole tapes any more.
Interesting topic, thanks for bringing it up.
Cheers,
Adam]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi Dave:

It's possible that the 'self-contained' movie option was not checked when exporting the file.  37MB seems very small to me for a self-contained QuickTime movie, unless the file is less than 20 seconds. 

QuickTime is NOT a codec, it is simply a wrapper.  You can have .avi files contained within a QuickTime wrapper (if that makes sense).

So yes, if Premiere can read .avi files, you can then use the .avi codec when exporting out of Final Cut Pro.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Thanks for the quick response.

The TEST file is 37.6 MB.   The running time of the clip is supposed to be 1:51.   (Recalling that I added the .MOV extension, it had none to start with).

I also have a bit more information.  Previously, when I opened the file and it gave me the &quot;missing file&quot; error, I closed it.  This time, I clicked &quot;SEARCH&quot; and it said &quot;Please locate the file &quot;boatparade&quot;, it was previously on DATA200GB&quot;.  I think you are on to something here!!

If I remember right, when he was in the timeline view - there was an EXPORT menu - EXPORT to QUICKTIME MOVIE - is this the one he should be using?  

I guess the question is - what is the exact command he should use to save this off in the proper format?   

Also, knowing that I want to bring this file into ADOBE PREMIERE on my Windows box, is QUICKTIME the best uncompressed format?  I'm used to AVI files in Windows, is this an equivalent uncompressed format?

Thanks again!!!

      <description><![CDATA[Hi Dave:

This sounds like you may be clicking on a QuickTime Reference file instead of a self-contained movie.  What is the size of the file?  That might help determine the problem.

In fact, I did a quick test, I get the same exact error by clicking on a QuickTime Reference file.  In this case, you'll need to re-export the movie as a self-contained QT movie.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hello

I recently received a CD from someone that is doing work for me using FCP on a MAC.  The file he gave me on the disk was called TEST, it had no extension.

I copied the file into windows xp, and changed the extension to .MOV (TEST.MOV)

I based this decision on the results of my gspot codec information utility that shows the file information.  In this case the file reported as:

size:720x480, 
Apple Quicktime, 
2.828Mbits/sec, 
29.971fps, 
codec: dvc

Format: DVVIDEO
AUDIO: PCM_S16LE

When I play it using QT Player, i get a pop up error:  

[The movie file &quot;B5&quot; cannot be found.  Without this file, the movie cannot play properly.]

Can anyone tell me, am I missing a codec (the DVC codec perhaps?), or is this error message indicative of a corrupt file, or possibly the person running FCP saved it incorrectly??

If I need the DVC codec installed, a link would also be appreciated as I am not sure exactly which one will solve this.

Thanks for your help!
-Dave]]></description>
