Odd viewer and record window problem
I’m just having strange problems here. I have regular DV footage brought in from Beta via Aurora Pipe component, and in FCP 5 if I make the speed 50% I cannot scrub that footage in the source viewer. If I return it to 100% speed it is fine. Any other percentage…same result. I cannot believe no one else is having this issue. I must have some strange problem.
I don’t want to blame the Pipe…it seems more software related. Just checking again if anyone sees this oddity in the viewer.
One last thing…I will also see this if I have some filters on a clip in the timeline…if I don’t render it I only get black in the record monitor…the screen doesn’t update the composite. Once rendered it is fine. I have tried all the various playback settings and changing the size and scale of the record window, but to no avail.
Hmmm.

[Rich Rubasch] “I have regular DV footage brought in from Beta via Aurora Pipe component”
Rich,
Your statement above seems a bit incongruous, as “regular DV” would not be coming off of a Beta tape. Did you digitize as 8-bit or 10-bit uncompressed (720×486), or did you really digitize as DV (720×480)? What Easy Setup and sequence setting are you using?

The Pipe card is very good at handling either 486 or 480 material, uncompressed 8 and 10 bit, regular DV and DVCPro 50. All I do is select how I want the footage to come in and it does the rest, regardless of source. My project was going to be all regular DV and I had a mix of DVCAM and Beta. Again, Pipe does the heavy lifting.
My preset for capture is Aurora’s NTSC DV via component (I use the NTSC DV via SDI if I come off DVCAM). Sequence setting is DV NTSC 48k Lower field etc. I’m going to delete a few preference files and see what happens, but this is an odd one if no one else is having the same issue.

Rich,
Cool!!! You said all the right stuff. Not everyone really understands, as we both do, that you can bring in a mixture of sources, including DV, via the component inputs through the various capture cards so long as you capture them as the same media type and format. I see that you have a handle on it all, except for this small aberation, which does sound like its just an unexplainable glitch.
Good luck,
DRW
