That makes a lot of sense, Stephen. Thanks so much for taking the time to respond. I’ll try that!

Hey there, have you figured this out yet? I’m trying to figure it out, myself. I found a four year old post on some forum that said…
“This is what I do, have done, works great and is super cheap.
I use old firewire breakout boxes, you can get them on eBay for $15-75 depending on the model, you plug your HMC into it using composite or component depending on the box you get and then use a firewire cable to connect to your computer.
As far as your computer is concerned the BOB is just a high quality webcam.
The quality is pretty damn high for how inexpensive you can pick them up for an programs like UStream Producer Pro allow you tu use several of them at once even on a laptop.”
(me again)
But I am having trouble finding these “breakout boxes.” Was wondering if you’d figured it out yet.

Ugh. Well, that’s how I’ve been doing it. (Adding additional keyframes. Strange that it would work that way, but maybe I don’t understand audio. In any case, thanks for the reply!

This probably isn’t very helpful, but you may be having the same problem I have. I often get only a few frames into a Match Move analysis and it just quits. Even when I’ve given it an area of high contrast to track.

Hi Tom, thanks so much for your reply. I hadn’t even considered that audio could cause a problem. I believe, however, that I’ve found the problem. (A reply to another post pointed me to it.) The source file is 320×240 and apparently ProRes needs to be bigger.
Thanks again for the reply!

I do believe that was it. The source video was 320×240 and I was converting to “100% of source.” Thanks!
