Shane,
FCP rescue keeps shutting down each time I launch it.
Is it compatible with Leopard.

how do you do it manually?
thanks

Just curious if you found the answer to this issue. I am having the same situation.

my 90 sec clip always exports 45 sec of it, IF I use DVCPRO codec. normal export if different codec.

[Dale Larsen]

I did it!
Ya the “Delete all unused media” sounds very scary.

but we are back working again. thanks everyone

I confess that I am an old Online editor.

I will get the books out and see what Media manager can do for me
Thanks

(Old dog learns new tricks!)

OK so I tried that and what I get, still wants me re capture entire reels of material even though there is only a few min of material on it.

don’t see how to stop that in media manager.

I copied and pasted the vido portion of the timeline to a new sequence and then generated an edl from that timeline so there would be no audio edits which are many.

It seems the new timeline did not recieve the “filter” data when i pasted.
thats odd. i thought it would have. so it was me not the Edl.

I do do CMX 3600 by the way.

Thanks

Shane,
I re formatted to a “stripped” raid and now I can capture 10 bit, but only from the 1200 A deck. (also 1080 8 bit)
so restripping was definate progress.
what about (journaled) or not?

I have a couple of “B”roll that are on Sony HDV (Z-1) and have tried to input that, but the system will not accept it, even at 8 bit. (dropped frame error)
the signal IS passing through 2 converters to get it to 720 HDSDI. perhaps the 2 coverters are part of the issue.

if I can capture 720 8 bit from a 1200 deck, then I should be able to capture 720 8 bit from the converters? yes/no?

thanks for the valuable info

seems logical enough.

[Dale Larsen]

I will re format the raid and see what happens.

So the card is not suspect?

Thanks

[Dale Larsen]

For the record.
the secret of importing incomplete clips, is to check the “import” box in the lower right corner of the XDCAM browser.

these boxes get “unchecked” when an incomplete clip is highlighted.

Once checked, you are able to import them.

search the help section for “incomplete”

[Dale Larsen]

Don,
your workflow is exactly correct. thanks for that.
XDCAM sees all the clips now.

So to “Stitch” them back together, do I open the 2 folders that have the 2 pieces of the clip, and they “discover each other” cause they are opened together?

is there a stitch button?

(I am in the field today, so I can’t play with my XDCAM, but
curiosity is killing me)

Zak,
It did seem that FCP was the issue and since I stopped letting XDCAM transfer open it, (setting in prefferences)the freezing stopped.
new craziness though, after a freeze occured, some files become “invisable” to the XDCAM software.
I also have some files that are not mp4 but SMI.
XDCAM does not see them either.
any thought on this?
