I see your point regarding “grade” at this early stage…

As long as I need to transcode I must go via compressor. All 24fps images becomes 23.98 when I transcode out of FCP. I can do a conversion in cinematools, but I don’t feel confident about that solution – and it will take even more time..

I’ve donated $30 to mr. Nick for the updated plugin..

Thanks!

Thanks Oliver.

I’ve used the Shaw LUT before, but the DP wants more extreme corrections for the edit than just a logc to 709 correction. You say “tweaked the matrix” what exactly do you mean? Can I adjust colors in the Nick Shaw plugin? (I don’t see it).

My job is only to backup to RAID and LTO, then do a firstlight and transcode the editing files. Then the logger does the sync job after I’m done (on a different system).

My main concern is how unstable compressor behaves with the renders – its pain when the render is ≈5:1/4:1…

Hi again.

Q from Walter: Are you sending a timeline to Color or the raw clips?
A: Im sending a timeline.

This is what have happend.. I’ve used the “send to color” command, graded all clips (about 240 clips) and rendered. It seems to render IN and OUT points of 90% of the clips the other 10% its rendering the whole file. Im using a hard disk camcorder so some of the raw clips are quite long. Ex one clip is about 2 mins long and I’m using about 10 secs.. thats allot of rendering I don’t need… anyways its rendering over night so I can live with it as long as its renderd.

My new issue is when I send it back to final cut some clips are all out of synch, the IN and OUT points at some clips are wrong and I need to “finetune” sequences again.. this is annoying!
Some clips are just a second long when its supposed to be 5 secs long, just showing the first second of the clip. I then need to extract the clip and re-time it to the original timing (in that case its good that color have renderd the whole file:P)
What I’m I doing wrong? Is it too much to have 240 clips in a color project?
Im using 2 video layers from FC v1 and v2, can this cause a problem?
I have some motion files that are not renderd in the timeline, can this affect the whole sequence?
The clips have no speed adjustments or general motion keyframes.
Im using AppleProRes (HQ) for all my clips. (1920×1080 HD)
I’ve set the Handles in color settings to 00:00:01:00.

I still got time to do it all over again so any suggestions are very much appreciated!

Thanks!
