BTW, I often successfully use the old trick of Just using the stroke and turning off the fill, while that works great in a variety os situations, I can’t seem to make it work for hand-created Logo Shape Layers? And that seems really odd to me.

Hi John,

No tracks locked. Yeah, it was the first thing I checked in this frantic race against time.

Thanks< Bret

Thanks John,

Yes, Finder seems to work fine. Also did verify and repair permissions.

I have opened previous projects and can delete from timeline fine. Is there a chance that I unwittingly changed a setting and have been able to track it down within this project?

Is Disc Warrior readily available? I have never tried it.

Thanks Again,

Bret

Thanks Gabriele,

Will check camera settings, both input and output. I’ll post results.

Thanks John,

Sorry, I am a former long-time creative executive who could move the people, money and equipment around the board to get required footage, who now is forced to try to learn the technical end of business as a bootstrap independent. As I said in the earlier post, I don’t want to seem ignorant…but I can face the fact.

I have bookmarked the link you sent and will soon be studying it. Thanks for the help.

Hi Rafael,

Camera on screen display shows 1080i HDV being taped as do other indicator lights, and won’t synch with FCP without matching settings. Could I possibly be knocking down the capture quality unwittingly?

Mac G5 has ATI Radeon 9600 (ATY, RV351) installed via AGP Bus. Any Thoughts?

Thanks, Bret

Hi Gabriele,

Clips are captured via firewire from Sony HVR-Z1U in FCP 6.06–and this brings up a whole new issue. A/V capture settings are set for HDV, yet for some reason FCP knocks down the capture from 1080i HDV to DV/DVCPRO NTSC at medium quality with a frame size of only 720×480??? Anybody have any ideas on this oddity?

But back to the subject at hand. So, I have successfully use smoothcam in the past, but recently upgraded to OS X 10.5.8 and upgraded all programs, and now any attempt to analyze footage causes a blip of the background processess’ window to show up for a fraction of a second and the footage is left unanalyzed.

Thanks,

Bret-Also California

Also,

OS X is 10.5.8, and not to sound ignorant–but what is “trashing” FC Preferences? I mean, I believe that we’re talking about user preferences in FCP, but do I just deselect current settings under each tab and then return settings to default? Or is more involved required?

In need of enlightenment with many short HH clips that need to be run through smooth cam before finishing the project.

Many Thanks,

Bret

Chris,

What filter, surface or other effects do you have applied to the text?
