Random Access Memory_am I wrong?
Why is it when we spend hours upon hours tweak out cuts, save them
and then open up the file the next day to find anamolies.
Is it just the nature of the beast, random access memory?Spent months on my documentary feature, put the movie into eleven nests,
calling them chapters and exported to compressor.The long nights of handholding the cpu, praying and hoping the computer
wouldn’t crash or Compressor wouldn’t send a failure message.
Making me want to throw the computer out the window.Funny thing is sometimes it would just work perfectly.
No reason or rhyme. But having to stay up all night, several nights in a
row at deadline time, ain’t happenin’.
Couldn’t we just set it to export, go to sleep and then wake up
with a “successful” message. Ideal world?Not worth the wearying, exhausting aggravation.
One of the moderators mentioned exporting to QT then putting the QT’s
in a new sequence, then exporting to Compressor.
Makes sense, but shouldn’t Compressor work properly exporting from the
timeline?Anyone been a beta pig for the new update of Compressor yet?
and anyone have any OTHER workarounds?
Thnx.

The advantage of _first_ exporting (dependent) quicktime movies is that you can batch process files while still working in FCP. As far as you go from a dependent quicktime, you won’t get any extra generation loss.
Funny you mention compressor woes. Haven’t had any for a while, but I’m using bitvice for mpeg-2.

[S.E. Ball] “Spent months on my documentary feature, put the movie into eleven nests,

Don’t nest if you can help it.

Nesting is a freakin’ joke.
It shouldn’t be an option.
When I play back the nest, audio is clipped, yet when
I open up the nest and play, it’s not clipped.

how many tracks of audio do you have?
if you are over the default setting 8 TOTAL tracks of audio YES it does clip.
if you have enough hardware and RAM try upping the number of Audio tracks in the Prefs.What about the mixdown function or item level render options for audio renders.

Only one or two audio tracks of an interviewee being clipped.
Pref’s are at 8 audio trks.
WHat’s to mixdown with only one or two tracks?
But a good policy, thank you, for anything over that amount.G5 Dual 2.5 GHz
