ProRes 422 setting and rendering
I shot a project last week on P2 cards (1920×1080 30p avcintra 100). I ingested this morning converting the clips to ProRes 422 on ingest. I dragged a clip to my new sequence and clicked “yes” to have the settings for the timeline be the same as the clip, but I still have to render the clip. when I check the settings they seem to be exactly the same. In “safe RT” mode I get a red line. In “unlimited RT” mode, I get the orange line.
the one thing I notice, is when I open the settings window for the sequence, the aspect ratio listed for frame size is “HDTV 1080i (16:9)” even though we shot 30p.
This is not really impeding my edit, but I’m confused as to why this is happening.

On the clip in the timeline, right click and choose ‘remove attributes’. On the video side of things, does FCP allow to check any of the check boxes?
In the browser, scroll to the right and report the clip info, and then take a screen shot of your sequence settings (command-zero to being those up).

Jeremy-
there are no video attributes to de-select.
As far as clip settings and sequence settings, they are the same (listed below)…
1920 x 1080, 29.97, apple ProRes 422, square pixel aspect, no field dominance

Do you have a RAID to play these back from?
Also, tell me about the ram in your system. i know it’s 8Gigs, but how is it configured?
-
yes…footage is captured to a Dulce RAID (not sure of exact configuration/client site) but it is very fast and have never had issues with it.
RAM is 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM.
thanks again…

[Michael Williams] “RAM is 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM. “
Sorry, I should have been more specific.
What manufacturer(s) and how may DIMMs are full?
-
according to the System Profiler, it looks as though there are 8 slots with 1 GB of RAM in each. for manufacturer, it says “0x830B.” not sure what that means. if there is some other way to determine, I can check, but I don’t know other than that.

Yeah, that seems about right.
I am sure you trashed your prefs? You should be able to crunch through this footage with no problems.
Did it ever work?
-
this is the first time that we have used the 30p setting instead of 60i and I’m guessing the problem lies in that issue. even though all the settings appear to be the same, my guess is that the sequence is set for interlaced and I can’t find a way to manually correct it.
any ideas?
thanks for your help.

[Michael Williams] ” my guess is that the sequence is set for interlaced and I can’t find a way to manually correct it.
“Please post a screencap of your sequence settings. It will help.
Are the clips set to field dominance of none? Is the timeline?
What codec is listed in the clip settings? how about in the sequence?

[Dave LaRonde] “As far as I know, pretty much ALL 1080 video is interlaced, even footage shot as progressive scan.”
It’s transported over an interlaced stream, but in the computer and on the P2 cards, it’s progressive and you can treat it as such in FCP.
