Some more info regarding your system details would aid greatly in trying to diagnose your problem. Are you trying to capture your footage to your system hard drive or do you have a dedicated media drive for this? If so, what type of media drive is it and how is it connected to your Mac? How full is the hard drive you’re trying to capture to? Your Canon Optura should be fine for using as a capture deck with FCP. How is your Optura connected to your Mac? Using the firewire 400 connection?

Try trashing your audio render files. You’re right. it does sound like a file corruption and I’d bet it’s a render file. Also, someone a week or two ago had a similar situation where a FCP audio plugin they were using caused havoc with a QT export. You may want to check your timline to see if you’ve used an audio plugin that you haven’t used before.

Jan,
Hopefully your recent injury won’t keep you away from NAB this weekend. Best of luck during your recovery.

Last christmas I sat in on an audio sweetening session for the pilot of a new half hour TV series. The footage was shot in hi def 16:9 24P. The Pro Tools guy was using a Pioneer 50″ plasma. Nice.

Might be a field order issue. If the video you’re encoding is interlaced make sure you have the right field order selected e.g. If you’re using NTSC DV video the field order would be set to lower first.

Ted said there’d be a FCP editing suite set up at the Red booth. The intro of a revolutionary digital cinema camera that uses FCP to manipulate 4k video. How cool is that? If the displays are too bright for folks they’ll be handing out free Oakley shades to the first Red customers who place an order. The Red Camera – where the term “video magazine” takes on a whole new meaning.

Hi Alexander,
I found it! Here’s the link to the original thread from the FCP forum back in Feb/06:
…..and here’s the link to the test images. I didn’t think the test images would still be available online but they are:

Let me know what you think.

Make sure your GL2 doesn’t have the MIC ATT setting activated. This would pad the incoming lav signal too much. The MIC ATT setting is turned on/off in the GL2’s on-screen menus.
Remember too, that the MA-300 doesn’t provide phantom power, so any mic, lav or otherwise needs to have its own power supply.

[Alexander] “Compressor actually has really good features (the filters, the avoidance of the DV codec when used straight out of FCP, etc) that Bitvice cannot do.”
Hi Alexander,
A little while ago some kind soul did a little comparison test with Compressor: he exported a self-contained .mov from FCP and then used Compressor stand-alone for the encode. Then the same .mov exported to Compressor from within FCP. The result was that the encoded .mov file using Compressor within FCP was considerably darker than the version encoded with Compressor as a stand-alone app. He posted screen grabs as proof. He said he’d never use Compressor within FCP again but only as a stand-alone program.
Interesting, don’t you think?
