Hi Ethan, could you possibly elaborate on step 4 in the process you outline – the Toast 11 function to create discs form disk images?

I’m trying to use this to burn consecutive Blu Ray discs and am having trouble finding that Toast feature.

Thanks a million,

Thanks for your input, but I successfully converted all the TIFFs to Prores PRIOR to importing and working on them in the Prores timeline. Now I’m exporting the Prores material from that same timeline to a Prores movie, so the conversion is in the past.

In my ignorance, from what I can make out, it’s some kind of frame-specific artifact embedded in the final movie that Quicktime Pro misreads. When the movie is opened in FCP it plays back fine – strange since QT Pro is FCP’s platform, right?

I tried to convert a sample of the luminance surge to H264 to post on this site but the conversion (in QT Pro) did away with the problem entirely. Hmm.

TIFFs are fine, and the Prores HQ that I converted it to plays back fine in the timeline.

On closer inspection, the luminance surges are only visible when I play back the exported movie in Quicktime. If I open the same file in FCP, the problems don’t appear in playback. But this doesn’t make the issue any less worrisome.

I wonder if it’s a coincidence that the surges happen 2 frames prior to the end of each clip though, just when the white corner-angle appears, on the lower-left corner of the screen, representing the clip end.

Thans for the help,
Ben
