Word of caution with FCP 6
-
Great post Paul.
I never thought to really why Avid had their own versions of Quicktime codecs, and all those OMF variations -assuming they were just being different for the sake of elitism – but it totally makes sense now. They had to strangle QT so it would act in a more sensible manner.
I still like the rumor of FCP Extreme. I think Apple has a goldmine on their hands with the possibility of tapping an oil field.

Is is a bit sad for 6 months of being on the market that these glaring problems exist. You have the feeling Apple got so excited to bundle Color in and show off at NAB that they made this crap upgrade to FCP6 without fully testing it.
They love showing off how you can have 5 streams of HDV with RT effects and how you can easily edit with it….. but flash is not substance.
Does Apple have a beta program in place for FCP? it could use the input of trench warfare editors that really beat on it.

Wish I had read this before I upgraded. I’m trying to move a 2 year project over to 6 to do my final edit and a fair % of source files are significantly out of sync, fine in quicktime just out of sync in FCP. I’d be happier if it was the other way around. Support claimed that it wasn’t a software issue and suggested that I recapture the files that I’m having a problem with (implying that the problem existed in my media management skills). Fair enough. I had to check my watch for the date to make sure it wasn’t 1994 and Mediacomposer support on the the line.

Are you sure this isn’t a monitoring issue, Aaron?

Not sure what you mean Jeremy. It seems I’m not unique, here is a great thread and a fix that seems to be working for now.

Is your media 24p?
-
24 pa shot with Panasonic SDX 900 DVCPRO50. Workflow been fairly consistent in the pre-intel world.

And you removed pulldown on capture? If yes:
Do me a favor and on one of the clips, open it in Cinema Tools and conform it to 23.98. Do this on one clip only. After doing that, watch it in FCP. Is it in sync?

How much do I owe you doctor? Thank you, it works like a charm in seconds. I’ll refer FCP support to you next time I talk to them.

Did all of the metadata carry over too? tc. reel number, etc?
