Recapturing With Higher Resolution
Hello,
My in-at-the-deep-end introduction to FCP has thus far gone very well. I have now completed my edit of a 3 hour concert using the brilliant Multicam facility, and all that remains to be done is to recapture it at broadcast quality resolution.
So, I originally digitised all 10 cameras at DV25 quality and I now need to recapture just the bits I’ve edited into my sequences, only this time I need them at full Digibeta 10 Bit Uncompressed quality.
Presumably I can do this quite easily, and automatically place all the new clips in the right order in a new sequence?
I have my Digibeta player connected to my AJA LH Kona card already and all my are tapes lined up and ready to go.
I’ll have a read of the instruction manual, but in the meantime if anyone has any experience of this, or can offer any time-saving or helpful advice, I’d be very grateful.
Many thanks,
Steve Price.

Here’s a good tutorial:

GETTING ORGANIZED WITH FINAL CUT PRO DVD…don’t miss it.

Thanks for that…unfortunately this is turning out to be one of those nightmare days where it all seems so unnecessarily complicated….
When I edited the concert at DV quality I made 12 different multiclip sequences as there were 12 different acts performing during the show. One act only sang one song, so I’ve decided to start conforming with that song as it’s short and simple. This sequence is only 4 minutes in duration.
The edit is made up of 9 different angles. After completing the DV cut I collapsed the sequence. Then I opened the media manager to create an offline edit sequence. This is where it’s all gone wrong.
For starters, Some of the media in my sequence is offline and some is not, yet it is all made from captured clips, there are no graphics, titles etc.
Secondly, the tutorial – while helpful – was written 6 years ago and doesn’t cover all the check boxes and info in the Media Manager.
Next, the Media Manager tells me it wants to capture almost 14 hours of footage.
Then, when I instruct FCP to Batch Capture the sequence at Aja Kona LH 635 10 Bit Uncompressed, it tells me to insert tape number one, then tries to capture all 90 minutes of it.
Now, I know this is pilot error on my part, but it is incredibly confusing to say the least.
I think my problems are owing to the fact I am trying to recapture everything after using the multiclip facility rather than using a straightforward conventional sequence.
Does anyone, please, have any experiences similar to mine? I shall check back after my anger management class!
Thank you.
