FCP Attic is an app that lets you back up your prefs and your custom settings … might be useful to you.

Hi Mark

Sorry, but there is no way I know of to add a comment to, or otherwise name a track in FCP.
Your second point is not clear. I’m not understanding you.

Cheers

Hi CaptM

I took a look at the project and xml and I think you’ve probably discovered a “limitation” 😉
What is giving it kittens is that you are referencing freeze frames taken from nested sequences, and some of those sequences don’t exist within the project except as referenced by these freeze frame items … it seems to fall apart when it hits those!

Remove those items and voila, Bob’s your uncle etc, it works nicely … except of course those items are gone!

Probable best workaround for the moment and in future, would be to export a single frame of those nested sequence and use that 1 frame media clip instead of a freeze (use the paste attributes –> contents option to bring them into the timeline without reworking all the moves).

I’ve been pretty busy today and haven’t really had time to look more closely at the actual xml data to see what specifically is causing the problem with these stills, not that I’m certain I would recognise it if I did!

Anyway, hope it helps
Andy

hey CaptM,

do you get any “fcp encountered a non-critical error, do you want to see the log” type message when you import the xml?
if it might help, you’re welcome to zip up and send me the xml file and i’ll try it on my system. email in profile

cheers
Andy

Im guessing you don’t want to hear the “never upgrade mid-project” litany, so I’ll spare you that 😉
Is there any way you can downgrade your FCP setup to get the job finished?

its just the way the Basic 3D filter is coded. You can do this just fine with my hacked version here: https://homepage.mac.com/andymees

[Andy Mees]

anything different or special about this project as compared to your usual settings? what codec are you using?
does the widscreen filter not work regardless of clip, sequence or project?
are the other filters and generators still working?

[Andy Mees]

apologies Wes, I just googled and posted – you may want to follow up on that link

I’m not working with film/2k but plenty here do, so I may be the least able to help, but nonetheless …. charts for what? calibrating camera or monitor or? not quite sure what you’re looking for.

cheers

indeed, relativly simple route would be to export to STP and resample there
