Naturally not the answer I was hoping for but thank you for being honest!

Thanks Bryson.
Can’t see coincidence as I have only one type. ProRes (standard).
I did try building locally to make sure it’s not the network but same random problem.
What kind of works 80% of the time is to make one preview at a time and quit and restart CatDV and then do the next.

Hope the factory guys have some ideas 🙂

There is: Syntheye, https://www.ssontech.com
But it’s the high art of tracking which I find often too much for my little editor brain 🙂 (but I need it for 3D)

and of course After Effects (which I don’t have)
and mocha: https://www.imagineersystems.com/products/mocha/ (which I don’t have either)

check the ‘offset track’ box and try again 🙂
experiment with repositioning your tracker at the point you pick it up again.

Removing the marker table from the summary tab after adding it to the logging tab fixed the problem. Now all is working as expected.
Thanks again

Hi Rolf

[Rolf Howarth] “2. Odd, I can’t reproduce that. How are you deleting the marker? You can select a marker (via the summary tab, or another tab) and then press Del (Fn-Backspace) or Logging > Clear Markers. You can edit a marker by double clicking it in the details table or pressing Shift-M when focus is on the movie (though we changed that recently, it might not yet be in the public release). “

I can delete as you say. I can press shift-m while on a marker to get an edit window but I do not get a delete button in that pop-up window.
What doesn’t work is the following: Select the ‘Logging’ Tab. Via preferences add the ‘Event Marker’ field. Now try to delete a single marker by selecting it from the list. Won’t work. You can only delete all at once.
Easiest way to solve this would be to add a menu item ‘Delete current marker’ and make it separate from the existing one which then only deletes all at once and could be called ‘Delete all marker’. (hey – only using it really for a week and already telling what to do :-))

[Rolf Howarth] “3. Hmm, it should remember your viewer size, the same way it remembers the size of the tree. We’ll investigate why that isn’t sticking.”

I’m on Mac so maybe its different to PC? By the way not even the tree section width sticks for me?

Thanks for the tip with splitting and joining clips when adjusting auto detect sub-clips. Will try on the next batch of tapes in 2 weeks!

I really appreciate your open and quick communication!!! Rare these days.

Hi Bryson,

Many thanks for the quick reply!

Unfortunately both my tracks are captured as mono so i can’t separate them via the system prefs 🙁

As for keyboard mapping: I use Spark which is a free shortcut manager for Mac. Works for me as a workaround.

Cheers

One more question:
After I auto detect scenes on my tape I sometimes have to split a subclip because CatDV missed a camera stop/start. I do this by adding markers and when finished choose the make markers to subclip function.
Curious thing is that if I had a tape as a filter selected so I only see the clips belonging to this tape I loose the filter selection in the moment I invoke the marker to subclip function?

Thanks again
Cheers
Carsten

Addition:

I now figured out that it can only be a bug in CatDV.

When I select to list ‘source clips’ from the seq. all clips are fine.

When I look at ‘All clips’ the first 2 clips from the seq. are not showing correctly (they can’t correctly link to the media)

I checked FCP seq and XML file and they look fine (no super expert so I might have overlooked something).

Anybody else having problem with this functionality?

Cheers
Carsten

[gary adcock] “shipping a random person”

he didn’t ask a ‘random person’ he did ask people who do have any of the units..

[gary adcock] “try and get a schematic for an EX and then get back to me”

i do not own a ex or sr deck, but i did receive extensive diagrams with my sony beta sp and dat decks years ago. how otherwise should a non sony tech person trouble shoot the equipment?

anyhow maybe it has changed.
