FCP & tricaster video
is there anyway to get video from a tricaster 1.0 compatible with FCP?
the tricaster records in .avi format with a NT25 codec, which is a propitiatory codec. I have a project that I need multiple cameras and it would make my life much easier if I could use the tricaster to mix the video on location instead of having to set up a multi-cam edit in FCP. I’ve never attempted the multi-cam edit.

I don’t see the problem. If you’re using it as a video switcher, you can easily take the composite output from the Newtek to any video recorder.

ok…should have prefaced by saying I am completely new to this tricaster. I’ve only been familiarizing myself with it for about 3 days now. I didn’t realize it could go to any recorder. So you are saying that I could go composite out from the tricaster to a deck and record to tape?

“Yar, but rendering for output isn’t the same as live output.
Marcus, your post has us confused; we’ve answered your questions but maybe you didn’t ask the right ones. This isn’t a NewTek user forum, I’ve have not seen one in operation since it ran on the Commodore 64 but any video switcher system should have a composite output. If it doesn’t, you need to talk to the mfr, open the manual and dive deep, or start hanging on the NewTek user forums. It’ds a popular rig, must be a rich user resource out there someplace.

On that subject matter, I do not believe Marcus has even worked on a live to tape event before.
This what you need to do.
Iso your cameras (record each feed for each camera). When a bad switch is made, you can fix it.
Record to tape and/or some type of Digital Recordable device (firestore, AG-HPG20, direct to hard drive, etc).
Good luck with your project.
