RealTime Playback Dissolves & 2nd track

[Bouncing Account needs new email address]

What kind of capture and timeline?

Uncompressed?
DV?

What kind of Hard Drive(s)?

Internal?
External?
SCSI?
FW?
RAID?

It will depend on your sequence settings and the clip settings your are trying to put on the second track. Also you may want to try unlimited RT and playback set to dynamic.

Dont know how to find the uncompressed settings. Its set at DVCPRO50

I’m not a techy but I think the two 400 gig drives where raided internally they are fast for HD ready.

We are in Safe RT.

2 gigs of RAM on a G52.7 /FCP5/ Betacam 2800

Thanks

Thanks I have an Orange render bar. But when I add two tracks I get a message saying turn off unlimited RT. I do that and get a red bar.
Somethings not right.
When I out put to video does FCP render?
Also when I print to video to record to Betcam 2800 do I have to manual press the Betacam to Record. The M100 does this automaticly.
Thanks.

Maybe this is the problem
Under Preferances- General-Limit real time video I’ve put in 200mb.
Any clues appreciated
Thanks

Peter,

May I ask, exactly why are you capturing Betacam as DV/DVCPro?

DRW

[Frank Nolan]

Uncheck that box and see if that helps.

[Pete Sake]

I was told DVCpro was the best Codec. What would you sugest for BetcamSP
Oh and I’ve just got 2 gigs of RAM
Thanks for responding

Peter,

I’m not certain how many hours you are trying to capture, but normally Betacam is captured at 8-bit uncompressed or, in an effort to save hard drive space, JPEG. I seem to remember having a similar discussion back a while ago. Are you capturing as DVPro because you’re intercutting with real DV?

I just thought DVCPRO was the best codec. Motion JPEG B? Not sure what to do. Its just a short piece 3 min final edit and I’ve got loads of room. I’m not going to redigitize it later. So I want to bring it in at a high quality.
Thanks
Peter
