Hi Julian,

I think Noah was asking if your timeline frame rate matches the frame rate of your clips. I ran into similar weirdness just last week when one of our animators rendered out 25fps tails for my 29.97 edit.

I’m quite interested in the outcome on this one – we are primarily a FCPX shop, but frequently work with others who are primarily Avid. Any chance I could have a look at this file as well?

Hi Mercedes,

The first step is to discover the actual format of the external drive. To do this, select it in the Finder and then from the File menu, choose ‘Get Info’ :

You can. Keep in mind that playback is entirely dependent on your storage bandwidth.

[bryson jones] “I’d reach out to your dealer/integrator and know that the short answer is to not drag and drop batches onto the Worker Node. That will be looking at the preset root in the Worker action and not necessarily at the full path. Notice the “Relative to:” field in the Worker action.

Thanks, Bryson. That makes good sense. Do the importing in Pro, save, wait for Worker to pick it up that way.

[bryson jones] There may be a way to get that path into the action, but we direct clients to set up actions by a server query and set a metadata flag to “create proxy” to trigger the Worker. That way it gets the full path and you can also get the flag to be set to “proxy created” or something so you can track what’s done.

Virtually everything I bring in will need proxies, so finding a way to have that happen automatically is what I’m after. Probably could set that flag on import, yes?

[bryson jones] Free advice (and worth every penny.) Consider making h.264 mp4 files for proxy instead of mov. Android won’t read mov and many PC’s don’t have it installed. Most every browser can play an mp4 now and you never know what you might want to do with those proxies down the road.”

That’s actually what I’m doing… should have typed it that way! ;^)

Thanks again,

So you’ve got 10 files from the card, 5 are valid video files and the other 5 aren’t… hmmmm…

Do all 10 files have the same file extension?

Are they all still on the card?

Do they have similar file sizes?

With or without BITC?

Except that Julian wants to see a graded clip (from the timeline) on the left, and grade a second, different clip from the timeline on the right.

At least, that’s how I read it…

Cheers!

Once again digging up an old thread…. how did this shake out?

Quick Update:

I created a new Event in the Library, moved everything into that event, and deleted the original. Seems to be fine – all projects, keywords, etc. are intact.

Weird.
