Green frames in H.624 export (1080, 23.9, Canon 5D)
I’m editing 1080 footage from a 5D and when I use a specific clip from one of my capture files it works fine previewing + rendering but whenever I export, it drops to green frames as soon as that clip should start and then the video comes back for a sec, artifacts, and crashes. h.624, 23.9 timebase. Any ideas? I’ve never experienced anything like this, but then again, I don’t normally deal with HD.
Thanks in advance,

How do export to h.264? Directly from FCP or with Compressor?
Try once this: First export your project like that: File -> Export -> Quicktime Movie (in original TimeLine Settings). Then take the rendered project and put it again on a TimeLine. This time Export -> use Compressor -> Choose the H.264 Settings in Compressor.Does it work then?

Sascha, I’m giving compressor a shot.
Dave, how would you recommend converting to prores, and if I go this route is it possible to re-use final cut’s xml to retain the editing I’ve done to the h.624 footage?
Thanks so much,

Prores was the answer. I figured out I could just reconnect the transcoded files. Thanks guys!

well I was going to say just transcode the offending clip. OTH Prem Pro edits h264 just fine…. FCP has just become pretty lame and unreliable for work with new formats. I don’t find transcoding acceptable. it really defeats the entire purpose of going tapeless in the first place – saving time.
