If the background elements are motionless by the time you want to extend the duration, you can increase the project duration, extend the elements, then apply the “Stop” behavior so they stay on for the remaining duration.
Or
Increase project duration and copy/paste the still portion of the background to lengthen as desired.
Or
If the background elements have a repetitive action, you can copy/paste just that part so it continues to repeat as long as you see fit.
Or
Copy/paste the end and repeat it in reverse.
Lots of ways to do it.

[Noah Kadner] ” I’d sure love a ProRes option as well.”
Yeah, on a first quick-look over the features I saw the “Unparalleled File Compatibility” section with a picture of Final Cut Studio next to it. I got excited a thought it did Prores and all kinds of files as well as uncompressed… I need at least 2 hours minimum record time with any given solution, how many GB’s would that eat up?? Too much. Dang.

[Todd Perchert] “HD-SDI out to the Matrox straight into the editor. The SDI out is a bonus in that regard.”
That’s exactly what currently I do, but two NX5’s via HD-SDI through Panasonic AWHS-50 then HD-SDI to Matrox.

I think it records 4:2:0 on the SD cards and Mem unit. You could record HD/SDI to this- https://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/hyperdeckshuttle/

LOL Awesome! I’m glad to have helped.

Wow, awesome! Looks like you found me the solution to replace my 17″ MBP’s FCP capture window as a recording device on the field! Which I’ve been anxious to do. Ships next month? Sweet!

I’ve been quite happy with my 2 Sony NX5U’s, my first and only HD cameras, so far. It’s not full shoulder mount, but worth looking at.

I wouldn’t have thought you could get any usable signal from the Blu-ray’s HDMI, due to HDCP. Bluray players will only output SD to non-HDCP compliant devices (ie via component out) as far as I know but I thought HDMI itself only gives a signal to HDCP compliant devices, all or nothing.
I think you should be sending the video to the AJA Card in SD and letting the Card do the upscale. With the DVD in a DVD Player and Composite in (RCA to BNC adapter, unfortunately), set it to capture 1920×1080, scaling on input. Not familiar with your card, just throwin stuff out there.

[Michael Scott] “So I’ve poured over these forums and the bottom line is that if you ask ten people what is the best DVD compression for SD DVD you get ten different answers.”
[Michael Scott] “My own research with a 45-minute HDSLR project @ 1920×1080 compressed to…”
Unless I’m missing something, the question is regarding the compression of a 1920×1080 HD project for SD DVD? So it’s a downscale question, correct?
If so, I have never been able to get an HD project from FCP (export QT current settings or “send to compressor”) into Compressor and encode with “DVD Best Quality xx Minutes” and get a result that I am satisfied with. After delivering my first two HD projects (minor projects) with this method I was disgusted and had to find a better way for upcoming larger projects, which led me to the Matrox MXO2LE. If there is a method to get a good downscale just with FCP to Compressor, that I don’t know about, I’d sure like to know. It would really save me some hours on a current project, in which I have to downscale, reacquire in SD and finally Author and burn in DVD Studio Pro.
The only thing that ever gave me good enough HD to SD scaling results was playing the timeline through my Matrox MXO2LE for a hardware downscale.
Apologies if I’m off-track with the nature of the question.

Right click the offline clip and select reconnect media, choose “search”, if it doesn’t find it on it’s own you will have to navigate to the original file on your own. Do you know where the actual video file for the offline clip is located? Capture scratch? External drive that is disconnected?
