Thanks Doug, this is a pretty great system.

All 4 cameras and 9 gopros are all now in sync and in their multicams.

Yeah, we filmed to DV off old Sony production cameras, and the old DV decks are a great way of digitising analog content, which I generate a fair bit of with old video mixers, my fairlights and video feedback stuff. Mixing analog video with old & new digital is pretty exciting, but has its headaches. Would love a dedicated 4 channel SD capture / playback device that records in Prores, but again, not anyones priority.

yeah, I’m not sure of the technical limitations of letting you deal with the glitches yourself. When I have more time, i’m going to attempt to ingest it through an old Canopus 110 and see if that allows for more errors, as i’d rather have one long file that stays in time with my sync than 100 micro clips I can’t use.

I’m interested to see if there’s a better stand alone ingestion device, but i’m assuming DV tech isn’t on anyones priority lists anymore lol.

Thanks Joe, i’ll work through that but it sounds perfect. J

I just moved over to FCP X to ingest DV tapes as it was doing this kind of stuff in Premiere. Both softwares will chop at dropped frames and the like, but it seemed that FCP X was a lot more forgiving and would take longer sections of tape before chopping up.

Premiere would make a million tiny files and then when I did get a long take, trying to then work with it, it would only play back 10 seconds of a long file, so I was transcoding and just thought, screw this and bought FCP X.

I’m so tired of the crashes and bugginess that plagues Premiere, and so far, FCP X seems rock solid in comparison.

Sorry I can’t help, but I know how you feel.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but i’ve got this exact problem.

Does anyone know how to offset the starting point? Is it done in Realflow or C4d? Can’t find the preference in RF.

[Brent Griffin]

Great, that’s a pretty awesome help. Thanks!

[Brent Griffin]

Man, thanks a million. I tried a tonne of different options, but of course, not that… Forest for the trees etc.

I’ve been trying to tighten up my fundementals of AE, and this is a reminder that now is the time, I should have had this on lock a long time ago.

Thanks again.

I wish. I’ve tried that, but it’s not working, just reveals the white solid the mask is on. I popped a red solid under it all to show what it’s doing.

I’m sure it’s super simple, but it’s just stumped me.

I’m having the same problem, trying to animate a hand walking, got the animation right then had this damn transparent outline wrecking the image. Had to abandon the animation to get the job done unfortunately.
