  • problems with DPX-Sequence in FInal Cut

    Posted by Larissa Goerner on May 19, 2008 at 11:38 am

    Hello there,

    i want to import dpx sequences into fcp 6.0.
    But it shows only grey or weird colored lines.
    The sequences are 4:2:2 YUV 10 Bit 720p/50 that have been encoded by a clipster. I have glue tools licensed and installed.
    Even quicktime doen’t show it.
    what can i do?

    thanks for help.
    Lara

    OK

    have you checked that the DPX files are playable? do they open in Photoshop?

    what happens with GT? ( and which version the new 3.0 version needs 6.02 to run correctly)

    it is odd that Clipster does 720 files – are you sure????

    Most of the off-camera devices do not record faster than 30p

    hi,

    i have a GT 2.5.11. We converted 1080i to 720p/50 with an Alchimist and then built the DPX files in the Clipster. I did the update to 6.02 in Final cut but there is no change.
    any ideas?

    Settings are:

    GT:DPX-InputConversion: Auto Detect
    Aspect Ratio: None
    Alpha Ignore
    DPX-Output: 10-bit Standard LOG-LIN
    Frame digit Pad: 4;
    No changes else,

    FC:

    Sequence: HDTV 720p
    Pixel: Square (i hope i translate it the right way, as german version)
    Quicktime video: 10-bit Uncompressed 422

    i have it in the bin and did double-click -> nothing happend
    i put it in the timeline and rendered.
    results are the same.

    :-(((

    My guess is something is wrong with the DPX files- I have never seen a clipster do 1280 x 720 frames.

    what do the files look like in Photoshop?

    Hi,

    files can be read in graphic converter and look ok.
    i’ll check out files when clipster comes back from repair.

    thank u for your help.

    I was very specific

    I asked how they looked in PHOTOSHOP- graphic converter allows for non standardized DPX and Targa files- Photoshop will not open anything but a legal DPX file.
