Not sure I understand this reply – what menu button? Are you referring to something while recording?

Thanks

Settings are HQ 1280×720 59.94p

There are no audible clicks in the preview of the transfer window – sounds clean at that point.

The ticking is present if the whole clip is imported, or if only a part is imported (that is, if the ticking is present in that part).

Recording with an external mic; recorded some with the mic off – the ticking appears even when recording silence, and is naturally much more obvious. It appears mainly in the right channel, and is rhythmic.

Ticking begins at the subclip boundaries (which I’m assuming is the 4GB limit from FAT 32), but may be inconsistent. On one recording the 3rd subclip is worse; on another, the ticking is present on the 2nd subclip, but disappears on the 3rd subclip.

Is there a way to open FCP w/o opening any project whatsoever? That’s what I’d like. I’m switching often between so many different projects (and sometimes formats), it’s just annoying to have to deal w/the old projects popping up when you open them.

And setting the preferences not to open your last saved project just means it opens a new project, which in my case, I have to get rid of, along with an couple of annoying messages about deleting an unsaved project – or if I forget to delete it immediately, autosave popups warning that it can’t save an unnamed project. (Seems like it used to auto delete that new project if you opened a new one right away, but maybe I’ve just imagined that?)

So, how ’bout it? Any way to open FCP with no project open at all?

Thanks

Yes, someone speaking, for sound reinforcement (and recording also).

I believe it is set up correctly. The sensitivity is set to -30, at which the loudest sounds seem to peak correctly on the transmitter level display. I can try turning that lower, but will have to turn up the output level on the receiver to adjust.

The ME-4’s housing actual seems a little lightweight as did the clip that came with it–seems as if it could resonate a bit–and amplify the cable noise; I changed out the clip for something heavier. Maybe a bit better. But I’m wondering if a better mic might have less problem with handling noise.

It appears not to work for my Kona SD card as well, with the same symptoms you describe.

Desktop does appear on the monitor, but no option to output video; the Blackmagic Preferences are all grayed out as well.

Any Kona SD user have this working?
