  • images weird in the canvas plus strange error message

    Posted by Marisa Miller wolfson on June 1, 2010 at 9:30 pm

    Hi there,

    I’ve been recapturing some clips to hi-res using media manager, and while the clips that I’ve recaptured look fine when I click on them and play them in the viewer, they look strange in the canvas when I play them on the timeline. They’re small–as if they were still low-res–and they are more square-looking, plus they have some pulldown. I’m also noticing some tiny blank spaces in the timeline between some clips.

    Is it an incompatibility between my sequence settings and capture settings? My sequence settings are 720 x 480 frame size (NTSC DV 3:2), pixel aspect ratio: NTSC – CCIR 601/DV (720 x 480). Capture settings are Easy Setup DV-NTSC.

    I wonder if it’s related to the error message I get when I try to recapture? I get a pop up that says:

    “An unknown error occurred while trying to reconnect (clip name) to the newly captured media. Try recapturing this clip to resolve the problem.”

    Sometimes I’d get 3 of these pop ups for the same clip. Yet, it still captured the clip the first time, which looks okay when I play it in the viewer.

    Any ideas?

    Many thanks,
    Marisa

    My editor friend told me to right-click on the clips in the timeline and “remove attributes” (basic motion, crop), and it corrected itself!

    I’m still getting slight pixelation/pulldown when people move in the film–eyes blinking, etc. Just checked the master clips and the timeline–both a little pixely. Is there anything I can do? My editor friend didn’t know.

    Oops! I meant when I click “distort.” Not “crop.”
