Hi Michael

Yes, thanks, I had seen that thread, but it didn’t answer my questions which were:

field dominance set-up on the timeline

and

that there is a definite need for a pro audio application for the pitch shifting, as I don’t have one in-house.

Seeing some a couple of posts elsewhere on how cruddy SoundTrackPro2 is for Pitch Shifting, I think that 2nd query has unfortunately been answered!

I’d also suggest SnapXPro 2 if you’re on a Mac.

Yes, if you have streaming rather than progressive download, you do have the chance of missed frames in your recording, but the advantage is that you can record the video to whatever codec you wish on render output and can fix the size of the screen capture so it will work with a default realtime playback setting on FCP / blend with the rest of your project.

The only thing to be really aware of (apart frmo having a fast machine NOT doing anything else) is that before importing anything recorded by SnapX into FCP, open the file in CinemaTools and reconform to the correct frame rate. For some reason FCP reads the QT MOV frame rate incorrectly when fresh from SnapX and you’ll see if coming up as set to 10fps (or similar) rather than whatever you set it in SnapX.

It’s saved my bacon a number of times.

Hi Mike

Yes, didn’t see that rather obvious choice! Thanks for the direction.

Any others anyone knows about?

Thanks.

What about exporting it as an image sequence from AE, then making it a QuickTime via QuickTime Pro, then importing that into Avid?

Just a few seconds of the sequence as a test?

I guess it’s Sunday and everyone’s doing something a little more meaningful with their lives rather than thinking about photoshop actions…

Sigh!

No one got any suggestions?

Or put another way, anyone having success with USB mics for punch-in audio tool, and what did they re-route for Avid to pick it up?

Thanks.

John –

Thanks so much! The Cinema Tool route did the trick. Will save a lot of rendering and loss in quality.

Pesky QT flags…

Funny,

I’ve been doing XML 3.0 exports from FCP6 going back to 5.1.4 with no problems.

You need to ask what your After Effects wizz is doing to your footage in the first place. Is he just colour correcting and adding titles/effects over your cut? Or is he compositing work shot blue/screen?

If it’s the latter, or something like it, then exporting an XML file from your sequence and using Automatic Duck Pro AE Pro import may be something you need to do.
