I’ve tried dropping the setting onto the clip – but it adds the new setting, doesn’t get rid of the old setting. Seems like I should be able to drop the clips onto an empty batch without a setting being automatically assigned. Then – drop one setting onto all clips all at once.

Anyone know how to do that?

Thanks!

Thanks, Nanthan – I ended up using ClipWrap which does an excellent job – It was just a one-time thing as I purchased a camera that outputs QuickTime directly to reallllly speed up the work flow!

Best of the New Year

I know – I was just wondering if there was a way of getting into the same room – Sounds like it’s what I’ve been doing – eyeballing it.

Thanks, tho !

Trashed the prefs two projects ago but could certainly take another load to the dumpster…

Rafael – About QuickTime shows the Q/PRO logo – (QT 7.6.4) and I have both Pro Res 422 and Pro Res 422 (HQ) showing in the list of available codecs.

I think I’m going to have to do the Clip Search. (Sort of like the Perp Walk for l recalcitrant clips).

Other thoughts welcome …

I tried removing each video to see if that was the problem. It wasn’t. The rest of the clips are jpeg images. Have not tried removing each of those.

I converted the MOD using MPEG Streamclip. The AVIs were converted using QT 7. All were converted to QT Pro Res 422.

Can’t thing of anything else to try. – If you do, holler. Thanks!

Side note – for quickly locating a bad clip in the timeline: Copy the sequence. From the COPY – remove all clips from the 1st half of the timeline. If the problem remains, remove 1/2 of the clips from the second half of the timeline. Still got a problem? It’s in the final 1/4 of the timeline. Obviously if it disappears it’s in what you most recently removed. So it’s a good idea to remove by cutting – then you can paste the problematic collection in a new sequence and start removing by halves again.

I can’t even find the video. I downloaded a short test video using FTP on the Go. I can see the video in this ap – but can’t do anything with it, such as move it. I checked out their Help page, which said the rule is that aps can’t share files they download. So the video is in this ap – but useless. (Oh yes, the ap plays the video, but not the audio. !)

Once you get the video into you iphone using Air Sharing – where do you find it (would that be the same on an iPad) and how do you drop it into iTunes?

tnx

GREAT article. I finally understand why you shouldn’t be editing with some codecs!

It sounds like the XDCAM isn’t too bad for editing, but Pro Res would be best?

Should I use Compressor for the conversion? Or – ???

Thanks –

Also – can you point me to a chart, list or magic bean that will tell me which codecs are good for what?

– thanks again,

DD
