Actually, yes. I will see what happens when the job that is processing completes. Maybe my windows just got rearranged. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for the responses!

B-Z was helpful. Rights were estimated at $10,000 to both the songwriter and the license holder, not to mention B-Z fee. Total budget for the creation of the local spot? $600. Nice…

If anyone cares to chime in on this I would be grateful. If not for the $$ charges for Applecare, I’d call them. As it is, I am left to crawl the web to look for answers…

Thanks

Alf –

My edit system set up is: I run FCP, installed on the Mac HD, with my footage flowing to capture scratch on a 2 TB external array connected via ESata.

I currently ingest 150 .mov’s using Log and Transfer, importing into my bins and to the Capture Scratch on the ext. HD at the same time…

I will check into the Prores 422 codec and see if that is the issue…I swear that I can see the hiccups in the camera as I record though. I think the thing just gags…

Gents – Just chiming in that I’ve encountered the same problem with my HMC 150. I see it regularly in footage, like a single frame is skipped and usually on moves. I pan and zoom slowly in the instances that I see it happen.

It’s getting to be quite annoying.

Here is a question. I think that one of my problems lies in that I have somehow broken the layers out of a PSD from their singular track and they are now splayed out on my timeline in about 16 channels of video tracks.

One one timeline, 1920×1080, the individual tracks are all sized correctly. When I copy and paste the whole lot to a new sequence with the same ratio, everything gets really stretched vertically.

First – I realize that my problem might lie in the fact that I made these edits outside of the singular PSD video track, and am just writing to see if anyone can explain why that would happen.

Second. is there to just copy and paste without having to resize or start all over?

Third, in general. Is it vital in FCP to take any video clip directly into the viewer first, and then apply it to the timeline after placing I/O on the viewer timeline rather than just drag the clip directly into the sequence and edit in’s and out’s on the sequence itself? Coming over from Media 100, I am self-taught and might be doing some things wrong regarding the process. Currently I do not use the canvas to apply clips to the sequence, I just lay them in from the browser and manipulate what can be worked on in the sequence, in the sequence.

OK, if anyone has any thoughts, I am open to learning the right way to do things so that my foundations are correct. And anything about this aspect ratio situation is helpful. It is quite vexing to me.

MIcheal – I am not sure what the hell is going on, actually.

So, I will start over with a new project with new sequence presets at 1920×1080, and will use the 1920×1080 30 p pro res. Then I will create some graphics in p-shop at 1920/1080/72, and then import footage from the camera and see what happens

It looks like the graphics that I created in FCP that keep getting resized and skewed will have to be recreated from scratch to figure out if the problem was an originally bad aspect ratio setting on the sequence presets. I’ll chime in when I see what happens in the AM.
