this is what it looks like: ( notice the negative number on the media end column? and the blank spot where it should say, DV/DVCPRO….

looks like something strange happened.

I’ve checked about locked tracks, v1, a2, restarting FCP and the whole ystem. I would trash preferences, but I don’t think that could be the problem. It is only with this tape. The video has definitely been captured. It is definitely there. I used the video from the tape to edit a whole segmenta few days ago.. Now, no matter where I try to use the video, it won’t STAY? hmm. Again, the audio will go into the timeline, but the video, nothing shows up. any more thoughts?

thanks in advance..

thanks for your suggestions. I will look into sonic for the future..

I am working on the tracks right now, and it seems the original track does NOT have the pops. So the drops occurred when they are brought into my editing system. ?? very, very odd. any ideas what happened to it?

the track is 44.1 and the timeline is 48khz. should be close enough..

aside from that, the original track had to be “cleaned” of the digital noise. you get what you pay for..

[Barathron] ” I think if you down load the ap and play with it and then refer to the manual you will not find it much help when you really want to start tweaking. “

I felt the same way, like tweaking in the dark. regardless, I will buy it someday soon.

I would love it if it only needed that!! So far, the istabilize application ( recommended by Kevin ) has exceeded my expectations with the time spent trying it out and the pricepoint. I really didn’t know much of what I was doing and yet, it looked pretty good. If it is not good enough, I will surely enlist one of the pros who have offered their help.

Thanks, though.

Just everyone’s replies are a GREAT help. Helps take out the lump in my throat and pit in stomach…BTW this is now a paying job. I posted it in Jobs Forum.
