  • Digitizing weirdness in FCP 5 / 10.3.9 / BM Decklink Extreme!!

    Posted by Richard Prince on June 24, 2005 at 6:24 pm

    I’m getting this message today whenever I try to digitize a new tape: (I mark my in & out and press capture clip…)

    “Additional Items Found”

    An Item outside of your current selection has been found to reference media about to be processed during this operation.

    If you add this item to your selection, an additional 32GB of space will be required for an additional 00:40:13;22 of media referenced by this item

    If you select Continue, this item will not be added to your selection, and it might be taken offline.”

    This is a new source tape and shouldn’t have any reference to anything….I’ve renamed my Project, trashed preferences (using FCP rescue)…I logged the clip and tried to batch capture but still the same message. I am also finding that when I try to digitize it deletes other material. The weird thing is that on batch capture the ‘insert tape’ box I see unfamiliar logging info and it seems it even wants to try to capture an .aiff file that I never selected!!?? I can use “Capture now” without any problems…

    Anybody have any ideas?

    Thanks very much!

    (I did manage to batch capture a clip that FCP had previously deleted during this process, but it captured more black at the end of the tape than originally logged…not sure why…)

    Thanks again for all your help!

    I looks like you are running an unsupported configuration with Final Cut 5 and 10.3.9.

    From the Blackmagic site:

    DeckLink 4.8 for Mac OS X 10.3.8
    10 February 2005

    HDTV 1080 down conversion on capture, 3:2 pull down in HD, Photoshop plug-ins, Single Field mode when paused, Voice Over Tool, Extended Core Audio support and 12 channel HD audio output. Compatible with Final Cut Pro HD v4.5 (not v5.0).

    I don’t believe the 4.8 drivers are supported for Final Cut Pro 5. I could be wrong, but…

    Thanks for your advice….
