multicam video jerky
Hi,
I’m moving project between two Macs for color correction. I transfered project file, Capture Scratch and Render files. On parts when it was edited via Multicam video is jerky and needs to be rendered. I’m just wondering why when it plays normally on Mac where it was edited.Mac Quad 2.5 + OS 10.4.6 + Final Cut Studio 2 Panasonic DVX-100B

every Mac will have its own RT profile. compare the RT settings between the 2 machines ,,, see if the latter’s playback frame rate is set to Dynamic where the former is set to Full etc
or maybe the machine you created it on is simply better spec’d for the job?

Multiclip is an effect. Often requires rendering, but once it’s rendered, you can’t go back and change the editing. It’s complicated.
The jerkiness is probably based different drive specs in your two machines, which you do not describe.bogiesan

Thank you both, it’s much clearer now. I never thought of multiclip as effect 🙂
I’m sorry I didn’t spec machines, I didn’t think the problem could be in that.Anyway, they are:
Mac Pro 8 x 3.0 GHz, 5 GB RAM (editing)
Mac Pro 8 x 2.8 GHz, 5 GB RAM (color correction)

There should not be a big difference between those two systems but as mentioned multicam is normally slowed down by the drives more than the system. The RT settings can and will make a difference also.
But when you color correct a multicam sequence (I asume with 3-way CC) you should always collapse the clips. But remember if you go back and change an angle you have to reapply the CC filter.

How are you transporting the media?
Internal drives? External FW or SATA or RAID?bogiesan
