I have been using four EX-3 cameras for several years for theatrical recordings. We edit in post and frequently get glitches after (but not at) file transitions. The really frustrating part of this is that in FCP7 the glitches do not show up in the timeline. They only appear after rendering to an mov file or to a Blu-Ray. I am in the process of updating the firmware in the cameras to 1.30, hoping this will make a difference.

The only way I have found to fix this is to take the original Sony material and convert to Pro Res HQ and insert a replacement for each of the clips that contain the glitches. Since the Pro Res conversion completely changes the gamma of the clip this requires careful color correction so it is a long tedious process.

I would appreciate any help!

Hi Thomas,

Your solution is great and it really works. I have spent so many hours moving multiple chapter markers to the left after having to remove something from the start of the time line.

To clarify the process, all you need to do is highlight all tracks of audio and video for the exact time that needs to be removed. Then right click (or equivalent) on the highlighted content and left click on Ripple Delete. The chapter markers will move with the content.

Thank you!
Andrew
