ps i tried adding angle numbers, no difference…do you think I need to reduce the quality of my clips to get them to play in real time? i sure hope not…

when i right click on any of my clips in the bin, ae spits an error that says “no items have files that are applicable to this operation”…I also tried to make a multiclip sequence, and it previews in less than real time also…would the fact that I dont have angle numbers assigned to each clip make a difference?

ok sorry about that…i see it in everything and I just cant figure out how to make it happen…

possibly cleaning the cache (tiger cache cleaner works well, I use it) or possibly trashing the prefs…those are 2 common FCP (and AE) cure-alls…

if only it were that easy…lets put it this way: all the timecode is different…there’s no master timecode, and there are breaks in the video in such a way that I had to create video tracks and split/nudge the captured video until it visually matched (say on a drummers drum, ect). If I were to just capture and create multiclips from the captured video, everythng would be off…but lets put it this way, i took the exported video angles to another computer, brought them in, and created a multiclip and, not to my surprise, the video freezes on the other computer…so I’m thinking it is something to do with the clips, or my creation of the clips…I captured with the default NTSC-DV settings, and exported with the current settings…any idea for how to make the clips more managable or usable?

it depends on a lot of things, including the speed of your computer (newer software will often slow down old computers), what you are rendering (3d with lots of shadows, as well as certain plugins go slow), ect, ect. if you can afford it, get a copy of nucleo, I got this plugin on a whim and it def. does help, especially if you have a dual/quad computer…

does it have to be on dv tape? in a pinch, sometimes, I like to export my files and then either create a dvd movie or just put the file onto a dvd disk for playback in a computer…if all else fails, you can probably print to tape in SD mode I think…

as a self contained movie…I used to have it on a firewire HDD but because I thought the transfer speed was the initial problem, I put it all on my backup internal SATA drive (that is not my system disk)….still no luck, with both my decklink card turned on and off…

yeah…thats whats so weird…on reels comment, I originally captured video from 4 tapes, and used the audio from one tape as the master, synching up the other 4 tapes to that audio track…then with my one sequency with 4 video tracks and 2 audio tracks (L & R of one tape’s audio), I duplicated the sequence 5 times and in 4 copies removed 3 of the tracks…so now i have 5 sequences, consisting of my original 4 tracks synched up with the audio, and each track indiviually synched up with audio in its own sequence. I exported each sequence to a quicktime movie, and created a whole new project, and reimported the 3 video tracks creating a whole new multiclip from them…I get the idea to use the original captured video sequences in my multiclip, but that wont as the camera operators are stupid and started/stopped their cameras, requireing me to bring the video into its own sequence, splice and add black where necessary, to get the video to match the audio…I am so new at FCP that I don’t even know where to begin to troubleshoot a problem liek this so I appreciate everyone’s help and patience with me…im almost at the point of paying for apple support cuz this is way beyond me…

the clips are ntsc dv…i ran the blackmagic speed test and it reads @ 71.4mb/s and writes @ 44.2mb/s…any more ideas how to play these clips in real time? again, each clip is about 4.5 gb in size…
