“Send to -> Shake” issue
To start off, in capturing and logging, I used the method of capturing the entire tape then subclipping to the take numbers. This seemed to be an easier and quicker way. However, there is one issue I’ve come across. When I sent a clip from the sequence in the timeline to Shake, the timeShift properties were way off. This is due to the number calculations set to the subclip and not the main clip. Is there a way to fix this without having to manually set the frames for timeShift, inPoint, and outPoint in Shake to match the position of the in and out points on the main clip on Final Cut Pro?

I consulted a friend of mine about this issue and he’s come up with one solution that I can’t say I’m all too happy about. One solution is this, I could export the sublip then drop the file into my browser, using in and out points on the new main clip. I haven’t yet tried this out, the subclip is currently rendering out. I know this will work, though.
However, one issue I don’t like about this, I’ll have to render out every subclip I’m going to use “Send To -> Shake” on, reapply the same in and out points from the subclip to the new main clip, drop the new cut into the timeline, then finally use Send To -> Shake. I personally would not like to add more to my workflow, especially adding more rendering time, unless there isn’t any other way.
For some reason I’m always thinking there’s a certain setting I’m overlooking that’ll fix the way FCP is sending correct in and out point information to Shake that’s in conjunction with the main clip and not the referenced subclip.

I’m not sure if this will help, as i’ve not tried it myself….i read something yesterday about a problem with subclips and the suggestion was to highlight the clips in the timeline, then right click :make clips independent.
If you do this before hitting send to shake it might help?
then again it might not.
worth a try…..

Nope, didn’t seem to work. The same issue occurred in Shake.

SUCCESS!! I had to go to select the clip in the sequence, go to Modify -> Remove Subclip Limits. This removed the artificial start and end points of the subclip and reset it to the main clip. So, now when the information is sent to Shake via “Send to -> Shake” the in and out points calculations are in conjunction with the main clip and not the referenced subclip.
Thanks for the help, Lightning Ad.
