  • media manager, slow motion clips

    Hello:

    I have a problem with the media manager, I have a long project, and I want to make a copy with just the master sequence. When I copy it with the media manager, the new sequence, has reduced the clpis with slow motion, some of them are right, but others are squeezed, I can trim them, and the material is there, but not a the exactly ponts, so I would have to do it manual…and this is going to take a long time!!!

    Any suggestion, to solve this? Am I doing something wrong? Thank you so much.

    hi chuska,
    the media manager don´t like speed-ups and speed-downs! there is a big problem with it!

    which version FCP you are using? I haven´t checked this within FCP7, but FCP5 or 6 having permanent problems with it.

    be sure that used clips haven´t got the same names.

    Media Manager in FCP7 has solved many of these issues. But it still recommended that you you carefully examine your MM copies for the integrity of speed-adjusted clips, still images, and other effects you do not want to recreate. I always render them and reimport them as self-contained movies but I rarely use Media Manager.

    Media Manager in all previous versions of FCP is terribly flawed, a cruel joke, actually.

    Yeah, speed changes in FCP 6.x and earlier have issues with speed changes. FCP 7 does a vastly better job in dealing with them.
