  • ProRes 422HQ Not optimized warning?

    Posted by Rafael August on December 16, 2010 at 11:35 pm

    Hi,

    I up-converted several tapes through a matrox2 LE box using the Matrox ProRes 1920×1080 setting. I am now importing these up-converted files into a new project and several of the files prompt a not optimized warning recommending to recapture for multi stream playback.

    The tapes I captured were Beta SP tapes and PAL DV Cam. Why would I be getting this warning. I thought Pro Res was optimized for multi stream playback.

    Any help is much appreciated,

    Rafael

    We get that all the time with movies captured with our custom app. It could be something as simple as a movie not having a UUID. Next time you get that warning check if FCP updated the modified date after import. If so it punched something into the file… I hate when it does that. Last thing we want is FCP corrupting clips just to dot an “i”.

    Bottom line… the warning never amounted to anything.

    Agreed.

    It can sometimes happen when the footage importing doesn’t match the timeline or hardware video output settings for whatever reason (codec/bit depth/whatevers). Hit ok and keep working.

    What I have found is that it is very inconsistent. I have imported folders which have prompted warnings then reimported the same folder and received no warning. Thanks for your suggestions.
