When no matter what you post, it’s not going to make a difference anyway, cause it’s just not gonna happen for the poor guy or girl.
Have a nice holiday wkend everyone!

I’m looking forward to the new “Client IQ Filter”.

I had this problem too, with an old Sony PD-150, turned out the heads needed adjustment. I turned off the ‘machine control’ and got around it for a while, then finally had to service the camera. Not sure what you’re using to capture, maybe you could try this. Good luck!

not sure what you’re using to capture, a camera or vtr, but these devices usually have a pass thru that you can take composite, and sometimes s-video and component out of and into a monitor. Good luck!

If you’re careful about always entering reel numbers and names when capturing, backing up FCP project files will allow you to recapture. But when you don’t…
Often, I’m working at a pace where I choose not to enter reel numbers, etc., but after I’ve spent time building a sequence, I always export a Quicktime of the sequence as a backup, then update the Quicktime occassionally, as more work is done. I figure I can always fudge the latest Quicktime much quicker than recapturing all of the footage.

Check your preferences, see what you have FCP set up to do in case of a timecode break or a dropped frame, you should be able to force it to keep capturing.

Since the copyright is up on the song, but not the recording, I’d consider rerecording it. This can be done pretty inexpensively nowadays. Then, you’d own the rights to the music! Good luck!

Sorry, but I guess I’ll be the first to bring it up….WHAT? YOU’RE ONLY CHARGING $50. AN HOUR TO WRITE, SHOOT AND EDIT?
One of the most difficult issues I face running my own production company is being undercut by startups who don’t know the value of production services, or a client’s Uncle Joe with a Camera who works dirt cheap. Fortunately, these are usually one shot deals, as the addage ‘You get what you pay for’, rears up and bites the client in the ‘you know where’.
My advice, in addition to restructuring your invoice to look more professional, is to do some research on average production costs in your area, and try to price accordingly. If you do good work, then you should bill for it.
Thanks and good luck!
