Thank you very much Lisa,
That was a very generous post, really clear and easy to follow. I’m going through them now.
Each one is in a folder with other data files in them.
It’s quite a laborious process opening up each folder.
Could you tell me if the cameraman could have given them
to me in a different way to allow me to batch convert them?

Thanks again for your help.
Dan.

Hi Rob,
I’m sure you have checked this, but I seem to remember it was due to some wonky time codes, either a time code break or incorrect codes due to an error. Because of a jump in codes fcp thought it was a super long clip and was having none of it.

Is it on all clips?

Thanks for the posts’s.
It took a while to reply as I had to order a new copy of Snow Leopard to get QT 7, In order to get the pro version, to get full audio info.

The original Pathe archive clips, has audio that is running at 48 KHZ,
This is the same as my FCP project.

DV, 720 x 576 (768 x 576), Millions
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz
Data rate is 30.34 mbits/s.

I did a test on Avid, importing the same clip and there was no difference in sound quality whatsoever. Therefore FCP is changing the sound somehow…

Any help would be very much appreciated. The director owns a record company, he’s got super man hearing, so audio is very important.

Thanks very much.
Dan.

Thanks for the post’s guys. I could take it into soundtrack pro and improve it, I just don’t know why it is playing back with a different tone. Does FCP automatically compress the signal or something?

Hi Fredy,
What do you actually mean by ‘final’ scene.
Piecing together scenes for a movie is quite a long process.
personally, I start by doing rough cuts for each scene.
lay down the performance as per script, piecing together the scene from start to finish. Then when the scene is roughed out, go back and play with the cuts and the performances, better cuts, go closer wider etc.

When I think it’s working pretty well I go on to next scene. For me to have a wide view of the film as a whole, will allow me to understand the details needed within each scene, if that makes sense?
It is I think counter productive to fine-cut a scene, before knowing where it’s heading.

Everyone is different of course, but this works for me.
I’ve only cut one big movie but I use this when cutting docs.

Cheers,
Dan.

Thank you for post.
Does that mean I simply select whole of video layer and
apply effect and render it.
