In my shocked haste, I neglected to offer condolences to anyone who ever had the pleasure of knowing him. Such a nice guy. This must have crushed all the guys at the show. Ralph and Charles have company up there now.

Are you kidding me? Jeez, a nicer guy it couldn’t have happened to… This sucks…

in your Scratch Disk Settings, limit capture to 30 minutes or less. Its setting up a target quicktime file the size of your entire scratch disk. You can test if this is true by doing a log and capture. If it starts capturing right away, this is the problem…
Now, Kristian, about that downconversion problem I’m having, a little help?
-
I guess not many people are doing this downconvert, or were just hacking it like I was. But its not responding to the usual trick now and I’ve got a major problem. Heck, this downconvert function is half the reason I bought it.
BM guys! Please Fix! Immediately! I need this function back!
Thanks Chris

If anything I’m being mighty picky!
Its one of those things where I’m trying to do something in one step that looks like it SHOULD work, which if it did would save me doing the same set of key strokes a thousand times, particularly if it avoids a drag and drop.
There’s other situations, but the one that brought it up today was, imagine:
You’ve logged a master clip, but then you want to recapture it under a few different codecs or setups or you only want to get a little bit of the middle of the master clip in a few places online. In other words, there needs to be a new master clip with the minor variation of only one aspect or another. If I dupe it and change something, the affiliate thing takes over and I’m fooling with my master!
This happens for me more frequently than I like. I hate going into the log and capture or out to a batch list to make an offline clip that is 98% identical to a clip online or offline that I’m staring at in the browser. Does that make sense?
Especially if there’s now a command called “Dupe as New Master Clip” ;0)
-
blehh, that’s lame. I’m a browser boy, text view and nothing else. Why would I go all the way to the log and capture window and drag and drop, when I can hit one keystroke and change one value in the browser to do the same thing and all in one window? This is FCP, fewer steps is better steps…
-
Nope, defeats the purpose. I need to be able to dupe the clip, then change certain aspects without affecting the original master. This not working also has implications for MM operations and other stuff. Its not life threatening, but I’m not sure I understand the point of the name “duplicate as a new master” if the duplicate doesn’t act like a new master.
I wonder if the old drag and drop to a new project would orphan it the way we used to do before Make Clip Independent was fixed in the original Master Affiliate MM trimming debacles.
BTW Jerry, 6.0.1 and 1.0.1 fixed the 24P HDV and DV to Color thing. I wasn’t crazy, at least not about that…
-
Make clips independent, I believe, only refers to sequence affiliates, not duping masters in the browser.
And this is actually a menu item “Duplicate as New Master Clip”. Its just not doing anything other than duplicating as an affiliate that I can see.
Anybody got the cajones to confirm or deny?

there is no media yet, they are offline clips. That’s the point of a MASTER clip, to carry original timecode values that point to a media file, not a clip that reads timecode FROM a media file. The clip itself carries timecode values certainly. It doesn’t need media to carry timecode (even though QT Movies can now do so), otherwise you couldn’t batch capture with timecode, dig? I’m not sure what the point of duplicating as a new master, if the new master clip is still locked to the old master clip’s timecode in and out and media start stop points. And that’s not how Make Sequence Clips Independent works. And besides, I can easily change the original master clip’s TC values. How exactly is the new master a new master?
I’m not sure this is how its intended to work.
-
OK, so after going back into 5.1.2, I found that it was logging all those clips with 30 tc numbers but pulling the phantom frames out in the clip tc. So that part is not different. But the problem still persists for the full batch capture, and a lot of small test captures.
Starting to get a a little dizzy.
