    [Colin McQ] “lower you mean”

    well I guess they might be even since most consumer stuff is lower but all professional stuff is upper. 😉

    agreed. 🙂

    Fix all the EXISTING features first imo.

    But defaulting to -20 (even for pro/con-sumer use) is still very helpful and the way it should be.

    I can tell you its frustrating when I’m seaming short films together for a film festival
    and a lot of folks have -12 or even -1 tone!?!? and flat bars that don’t register on the scope.

    Funny, a lot of folks just max out the volume like a cd mix, which would blast away and peg
    meters on my pro decks if I let them.

    if you downconvert from the black magic I believe you would need to do it uncompressed 8 or 10-bit. (thats what I would do)

    yeah sounds like a progressive issue.

    if your seeing lines on your computer monitor don’t trust it, only trust viewing on a tube tv or pro crt.

    most DV video is lower field first. I think PAL and one of the matrox or canopus dv codecs is upper though.

    just about everything else is upper field first.

    If apple wants the world to take FCP as seriously as it deserves, it should default the bars and tone “tone” to -20 like everybody else uses. It does it -12 everytime prefs are trashed or drivers/firmware updated.

    They also need to completely remove all the useless and unprofessional features (like the original titler…I mean its completely unuseable)

    If final cut extreme has its tone defaulted to -12 I’m going to have to pay Cupertino a visit!

  • yep, I learned that the hard way some years ago.

    Everything gets zipped or stuffed before sending.

  • The deck works fine in 5.04 (thats what I’m running)

    You might need to update quicktime or re-install it.

    [David Roth Weiss] “For many reasons you’d be better off importing a 32-bit TGA sequence”

    David can fcp import a sequence now properly?

    I thought you had to build a quicktime out of a .tga sequence to get them to play nice.

    I’ve also used motion to do that.

    [zrb123] “Sense it is for broadcast will they even accept an HDV tape?”

    oddly enough some do.

    I sent some JVC 24p HDV tapes to CNN a few months back.

    the glitches are happening on the fly right?

    not in the HDV compressed files?

    This reminds me of days long ago printing to video from adobe premiere 4

    What I would do is when your all ready to do it,
    shutdown the machine, wait a minute, then power it up.

    launch fcp and go for it.

    You might also look into a really high quality firewire cable
    and get one as short as possible.

    that might help.
