I’ve seen the option! Thank you! It has saved me hours! (well not so much, but anyway!)

Thank you Shane!

The thing is that I don’t have the card (I rented the camera). But I’ll keep that in mind the next time! Thank you for all the information!

Ok, nothing then with FCP 7…

It was my first time shooting with non-tape system, and, because of the problems it’s causing me, I think it’ll be the last one…

Thanks anyway.

Some other idea or suggestion?

Hi David,

I’ve discovered I “just” have the .mpeg files from the card (not all the other ones, which I guess I’d need). I can’t, then convert directly from FCP with log-transform, as it is well explained on the tutorial you linked.

However, I’ve tried to convert them using mpegstreamclip, and it works, the thing is that when importing the new files into FCP project, it plays well on the preview window, but it requires a video render as soon as I insert them into the timeline. My FCP is version 6, although I could upload to version 7. Would it help me? Or there’s no way without the other files of the camera card?

I really appreciate your help!!!

Thank you!

Thank you David!

Yes, I still have a backup of the exact file structure from the card. What do you recommend, then? Into which format should I convert the files? To Apple ProRes 422 directly?

I usually convert with MpegStreamclip, but I have to do it one by one, I can’t convert a group of files at a time. Do you know some free program to do it faster?

Thank you very much!!!

Hi!
I’ve “discovered” another way of doing it: to add an image mask which has a paint stroke inside, and the paint stroke covers all the object, and has also the behavior “Write on” :))

Thanks!!

Hi!

I had a similar problem. But I don’t understand what do you mean saying “bring the compressed audio into DVD Studio Pro”. How to do that? Making an .wave? Or an .mp3? Or an .aiff?
I have another problem: when I’m trying to import the mpeg2 file into the DVD Studio pro, DVDSP says it’s an “incompatible format”. Am I doing something wrong? Or DVDSP doesn’t work with mpeg2?

Thanks!!
Clara.

Thanks!
I was using a type of mpeg2 which has no audio (.m2v I think). I’ve seen the way of adding also the audio (and getting an “.mpg2”). In the description of the setting, in Compressor, says “90 minutes video with audio Dolby Digital…”, so that I thought all mpeg2 had audio.

But now I have another problem: the mpeg2 I get, almost always is bad: you can see little lines (for example in the contorns of people, where there are changes of colours). I don’t know if I’m explaining it well… It seems to be a field’s problem, but I’ve tried to put (in Compressor) the “field dominance” in “upper first”, “lower first” and “progressive”, and I get the same result. I’m working with DV PAL 48 kHz, does somebody know what am I doing wrong?

Thanks!!

Clara.
