Hi Joseph
Yes I agree. Normally I don’t shoot ‘important’ video from the cell phone but I didn’t think I’d be going for ride. My brother did tell me about those aircraft carrier type launches. Wild!
I did run the MP4 from the phone through MPEGStreamclip to QT format. MP4 is not a editing format, it’s a delivery format. If I knew I was going to shoot video I would have brought my Sanyo Xacti 1010, an HD camera and shot the video with that. This is wild because when I was doing professional safety and training videos for railroads I had a $5k Panasonic P2 camera. One day on the train I mounted my Xacti right next to the Panasonic for comparison shot. We shot at 720P. Looking at the finished videos you couldn’t tell the difference between the $5000 camera and my $700 Xacti. That was a huge surprise.
I’m learning more and more about DaVinci Resolve 12.5. I may go back and re-work that glider video but I have some other stuff I want to get up to You Tube as well. Stuff I originally shot with my first MiniDV tape camera. Sony VX2000. From that I went up to the Sony DVcam 250 I believe it was, at which time I was shooting legal video; depositions. When I started the railroad stuff I still used the DVcam until we went HD with the Panasonic. I was also at the same time a railroad engineer so did both duties. 34 years on the railroad and before that a subway motorman in Chicago. Oh yea, I got a 1 track mind ha ha ha

Well I got it mostly done. Have to go back and do some correction on the aspect ratio on the first clip.
In the mean time I got it on You Tube if you’d like to see it.

Hi Glen
Let me turn off the video track and see. I click the little blue box under the V1 – V4 so there’s a little X in it?
No the audio is still bad. I have a short music track 20 seconds ay the beginning of the video. It starts off fine but after a few seconds it seems to slow down. The audio from the videos (shot from inside a glider) sounds muffles and sometimes in an echo chamber is the only way I can describe it.
As far as output-to-file, What is that? Do you mean to render the entire project out?
Sorry but I’ve been way from editing for about 5 years last having worked with FC studio 2. ????
**********************************
UPDATE
I rendered the entire timeline to Mov and everything cleared up. All that audio must have been a little much for this iMac to handle. My 2009 Mac Pro is more powerful so maybe I’ll put this DaVinci on that machine.I did an earlier edit in DaVinci that worked great. Used Handbrake to recover some clips from a DVD I made and re-edited one for You Tube. Didn’t have any problems with that one.

Hi Francois
HA! Didn’t even think about the Bluetooth flash drive. Anyway I don’t need the monitor for what I’m doing now so don’t need the card in. Like I said above I’ll look to those other companies. Be nice to have something that both my Mac Pro in my studio, and Mac Book Pro can use in the field.
Basically I’m all digital (HD) now (P-@ and SDHC’s) but I still keep my DSR-11 and MiniDV walkman as well as my old Canopus ADVC-100. 😉

Greetings all
WOW! I did it! found the publisher and song owner and got both my Sync and Mechanical license. For cheap-cheap, I’m so surprised those people were so helpful and nice albeit it took some time.
Following your advice above I contacted Harry Fox Agency. I got an email that I should search BMI because they didn’t offer Sync Licensing anymore.
Found my Song and publisher’s info on BMI. Contacted the publisher via email and explained who I was and what I wanted to do. After 2 or 3 emails, they offered me the sync license for $1 per DVD. But then informed me I needed a mechanical license for the master (hope I worded it right). He then explained to me that if I was going to use the original song I needed a license to use the singer’s voice and music from the copyright owner.
Okay no problem. BMI listed the owner as Rounder Records. Fired off an on-site contact form but no response. After a few days I searched Rounder Records, because there was no contact info on their website. Found out that Rounder was sold to Concord Music Group. Went there and they had a Licensing form to fill out with instruction on who to email or fax it to.
A week goes by and no response. So fired another email off to a different fellow listed. No response ha ha. Finally Googling Concord Music contact; again because there was no phone number on their website. Found a number, called and finally talked to a person in licensing. Told her my story and she wanted a copy of my original email as well as the email offering the sync license. She then said she’d contact her counterpart at Rounder.
2 days later I had my Mechanical license on MFN basis. I was so surprised. but it all worked out and thanks to this forum.
I never did this before because prior to this all my music came from Digital Juice or Sonic Fire Pro or some buy-out CDs.
Just thought you’d like to know the outcome of my original question.

I solved it by pulling the card and removing all the Blackmagic drivers. Next step? Look at AJA or Matrox for an I/O

Hi Willy & Tedy
I have been in touch with them over the years and apparently they can’t find the problem. I wound up pulling the card and removed the drivers as I really didn’t need the monitor or card for my current projects.
But due to the configuration of my new table (Hergo) I needed the magic mouse. I also needed Apple ProRes 422 which I didn’t see in the Blackmagic drivers so was another reason to remove the drivers and get my original Apple drivers back. I didn’t have time to see if there was other Blackmagic codecs available for DL.
