If you figure this out, please let us know.
Independent research over beer suggests the actors are shot at normal speed while moving v-e-r-y slowly. The clips are then sped up with conventional speed altering techniques.
Our brief experiments with a DV camera were inconclusive but they still suggested we were on the right track.

the usual issues:
you don’t actually have enough RAM
you are using it too fast because the comp settings are too high
you’re on a newer Mac and AE tends to use RAM really weirdly on the Intels.
you have set beginning and ending markersbogiesan

Thank you guys, very much, for the kind words and for the helpful links.
I’ll let you know how things work out with the transcoders and Producer.bogiesan

> I am currently running a large project off an external fire wire 800 drive and I believe the problem is that my computer cannot transfer the large amounts of data fast enough, as it always drops a frame half way through the output to DVCAM
In your opinions, If I transfer a bulk of my media onto my internal hard-drive will it make much of a difference in laying to tape now that that data doesn’t have to be transferred over fire-wire?< You'd need to figure out what frames are being dropped. Are they always in the same place? If so, you migth have drive media issues at that point or the files are hopelessly fragmeneted (not likely) or adjacent clips are just too far apart on the drive platters or you haven't gotten everythign flattened yet. We always export a self-contained movie before printing to tape. Even 90 minute DV clips have gone out the FW poprt fine. wait. Have you connected your drive and yoru deck to the same FW port? bogiesan

We’re all members in excellent standing, although some of us won’t admit it.

You don’t do it in the timeline. Try going through it one step at a time, once more time, but forget the timeline for now. You select the sync points and then command-slect the two clips, left-click and choose make multiclip. then move the multiclip to the timeline.
I know it’s weird the first few times. But the manual has the best explanation and, after you’ve worked it out four or five times, it’s pretty easy.

[scott lindgren] “nstall the media 100 transcoder into your Quicktime pro library. Create a reference file in Media 100. Open the Media 100 reference file in quicktime pro and export. Not sure if this works with Pro Res but it works great for all SD quicktime!!!”
Where does one find this mysteriously elusive trancoder these days?
I’ve got a bunch of M100 files form 2001 and before that I should like to bring into FCP but my old transcoder software only works in OS9.

we have not used Mezzo in more than five years. AFAIK, the company fialed many years ago. Your files may be complete useless now since the format was proprietary. We lost thousands of dollars and we have a huge stack of worthless DLT carts.
Good idea, bad application, lousy stinkin’ jerks, too; never did like dealing with those people.
