    There are many choices for various purposes. But the first few steps would be the same:

    Park the cursor on the frame you want to export.
    Then:

    Step 1: File> Export> Using QuickTime Conversion… “Save” window appears
    Step 2: Format> Still Image
    Step 3: Options… > Format: (choose PNG, PICT, JPEG, Photoshop etc.) > OK
    Step 4: Name your image, Set location (disk, folder, desktop) for your new still. > Save

  • If this is DV, just use any DV camcorder connected via FireWire to the Mac.
    Connect the A/V output from the camcorder to the inputs of any video monitor.
    The camcorder (in the “VTR” mode) will instantly convert the FW out from the Mac into A/V signals for the monitor.

    You can use any camcorder (an inexpensive “home video” unit will work perfectly.)
    It will also work as a full-quality DV “deck” for capture and dub-out as well.

    I have found many great home video DV camcorders at Pawn Shops for under $100 USD.

    The first thing to always try is to Quit FCP, Restart the Mac, Open your FCP project and try again.

    Next:
    THE FOLLOWING COMES FROM THE KEN STONE WEBSITE:
    “Over 5,000 years ago Confucius wrote: ‘If you are toiling away, you have changed nothing and FCP heads South on you, [starts behaving in strange ways] then it is time to trash your FCP Preferences.’ ”

    Click the following link for instructions.

    https://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/trashing_fcp_prefs.html

    A great way to do this is to use “FCP Rescue” a free Apple Script that will Trash the Preferences for you (and restore nearly all of your user settings afterward).
    There are versions for FCP (Pro) & FCE (Express) and a new one for FCP 5.

    Download these free Apple Scripts at

    https://fcprescue.andersholck.com/
    or
    https://pistolerapost2.com/fcprescue/

    This is one FCP tip that has helped in solving hundreds of “odd” problems.

  • [dog food] “Is there any way that we can record, using two mics (INPUTS) and get immediate playback of both mics (INPUTS) through both speakers.. without any mixing…. I would guess there is some sort of setting for this?

    Pan your MONITOR amp or mixer to Mono.

  • You’ll need to make arrangements with the client to either make an exception for your tapes, or send your project to another production house (possibly in another city) to have that house create a tape with the proper number of audio channels.

    The UVW 1800 lacks the internal electronics and does not have the proper number of heads to record AFM audio on CH 3 & 4.

  • [joslyn20] “no way to click on the web video to go to the next chapter/section?”

    When the web page is designed, you can make the playback window a “hot button”.

    In addition, you could offer a set of “control buttons” below the playback window with choices of “Next” “Back” “Pause” “Start”… and the like.

    It would give the web users more and consistent control of the playback.

  • You could post each “chapter” individually on the website.

  • I assume you mean JVC. An S-VHS/DV combo deck.

    These combo JVC decks are notoriously poor choices and virtually incompatible for working with FW editors like FCP.

    Better to just use ANY DV camcorder instead. Even a used home video camcorder will work perfectly for FCP…
    but NOT these JVC clunkers.

    Others report that they can get SOME of them to work SOME of the time.
    Sorry, but that’s not good enough.

  • Sony Pro MDR-7506 Headphones. The “industry standard” in the studio or on-location.

    You won’t be disappointed.

    [Greg] “tor. The image seems to have a slight strobe to it.”

    When the timeline is stopped, the image will “dance” (jitter) if you have stopped on a frame with some motion in it, because the the video interlace.

    Is that what you mean by “strobe”?
