Chris’s suggestion is near perfect! If fcp would add a fadeup/fade down audio transisiton you could rebatch your audio and use the overwrite with transitions method……….. but until then Chris your the man. Now if we could only highlight multiple keyframes and move them….. just another item to the wishlist.
Digital HEaven has a plugin that corrects missing/dropped pixels… I have never tried it but the demo on thier site seems pretty nifty. Maybe clean up the footage then try to key it. https://www.digital-heaven.co.uk/indexflash.htm FCP plugins……. your looking for DH dropout
are you opening ETT before or after you load the tape. I found that if i load the tape after opening ETT it gets all screwy. Ever since I started loading the tape then launching ETT it workf flawlessly. i am using an Aja I/O, Dual g4 1.25.
As far as I know you can go from 4 to HD but not the other way. You can always make a duplicate of the project and try different approaches. I would try to export an EDL and try to bring that in to 3. I learned the hard way of taking home a project working on it in HD then back to the office still running 4.1. It wouldn’t open it. My advice make a duplicate before you try anything. I am sure there is a simple answer but why not just upgrade the other system to HD?
