Multiclip problems

[Matt Geier]

Hi Dylan,

I’m not an expert with Multi Clip (yet) but I’m just going to ask some basic questions to clear up any of the initial questions that come to mind;

Have you been doing this / done this before with this rig you have?

What kind of video formats are you using?

Are you editing local or over network?

Let us all know!

Thanks,

Matt

Hi Matt, thanks for the response.

I’ve not edited a multiclip before. This is the first time it’s been done on this machine. The format is HDV 1080i, all shot on Z1’s. I’m not sure what you mean by editing local or network but I’ll take a guess. The laptop I’m using isn’t connected into a network of other computers or linked up to a server (if you meant something else then please excuse my ignorance).

Thanks

Dylan

Problem solved now!

Dylan,

What I do know is that doing Multi-Clip, is a lot more strict on hardware then say, no Multi-Clip editing.

With regard to editing “local” or across the “network” — these are two common methods for editors to have “local attached disks at your Mac” or “network attached disk that go over Ethernet or Fibre Channel or some other wires”

Hopefully that helps. Don’t feel ignorant about networking, you’re an editor. 🙂

BTW — How did you resolve your problem?

Thanks Matt!

I opened another project that I knew was fine and it had the same problem too so it obviously had nothing to do with the multiclip project. Shut everything down and left it for ten minutes and when I booted it back up again it was working fine. I guess whatever went was was reset when my computer was turned off.

Sounds stupid, but are you in the right screen resolution? If you’re in anything but 1024 x 768 (or whatever that warning says) it is unpredictable. I’ve had the jitter thing before, and for some reason I tried changing it and it was fine.
