HELP – need to output 10 bit uncompressed sequence and getting an error
Hello,
I’m outputting a 30 minute show for air in a day, and when I go to the edit to tape function, I get an error saying I’m ‘attempting to output a clip with compression settings that do not match current settings, try nesting a clip in a sequence with the correct settings’.
I’m working in the easy setup for Blackmagic 10-bit uncompressed, with the sequence 10 bit as well. Software is Final Cut 5 on a G5 2.7 GHZ, 3.5 gig RAM, and the Blackmagic Extreme card. I’ve had no trouble capturing from the digibeta, and when I do a manual record to the tape, it’s fine, it’s just when I’m trying to do frame accurate layoffs from the edit to tape function where the problem happens. I’ve tried isolating clips – just audio, just video, even bars from final cut, tried nesting the sequence, mixing down the audio, and I get the same error every time.
Is it something in the preferences? I’m kind of at a loss and under some intense pressure to figure this out.
Thanks for any help,
Jake

Hi Jake,
Drag your sequence from the Browser window into your Edit to Tape window OR load your sequence into the Source window. FCP throws this error message when you don’t nothing in your source window. This is how Edit to Tape works.

Kristian,
Wow. Thanks. I feel really dumb. I was operating FCP’s edit to tape like it was an Avid and just hitting the Assemble button. Total oversight on my part. Thank you for responding to me.

Lots of us have made that same error.
I wish it wasn’t “goofy” like that but as long as it works. 🙂
