MASSIVE playback issues
-
[walter biscardi] “What you want to do is retain the frame size, but make the file sizes smaller so FCP can work with them.
“We are talking thousands and thousands of images. This is all high speed photography rangin from 100-500 fps. the shortest clip is only 400 frames, but the longest is nearly 3000.
ontop of this, wouldn’t going to pro res have handled this?

Earlier you mentioned this is high speed photography. Are you putting the tiffs in order in your timeline to make it play as a clip? I guess that post through me off a bit. If this is the case, you can use quicktime to build the clips from the images for you. If they are numbered sequentially, open up quicktime file>import>images sequence I believe, and it will ask you for the first image in the sequence. Point it to the first image and then it will build the clip for you. Export it from QT into whatever format you want. If im totally wrong about what youre trying to do, I apologize. Anyway, I hope this helps in some way.

sorry missed this, dang cow forums hiding posts from me.
They were quicktimes already. the tiff files them sleves have never actually touched this timeline. I made image sequences out of them via QT and moved on to pro res. and still had my issues

I would like to report this problem as SOLVED!!!!!
final cut, has apparantly out witted me not once but about fifteen times x 20 clips. so, I’m retiring my computer, and would like to state “DUDE IM GETTING A DELL” ok, well maybe not
heres what happned. Every time I reconnected to other lower res formats, such as the pro res or the h.264’s it didn’t actually do it. It said it did it, It told me it did it. But I’ve now moved those quicks times deep into the bowels of fake file structure hell and fcp cant find them HAHAHA i have beaten the beast. It is now playing my pro res files and running happy.
Thanks for the help

No, that’s only a different codec, doesn’t do anything with the original file size.
[A.Zander] “We are talking thousands and thousands of images. This is all high speed photography rangin from 100-500 fps. the shortest clip is only 400 frames, but the longest is nearly 3000.”
Then you set up an automated function in Photoshop to handle that.
The file size is the most likely reason for the playback issues. If you don’t want to re-adjust everything down to 72dpi, then you will most likely continue to have playback issues.
