now in post production – START 2 FINISH: What It Really Takes to Race A Bike

thank you for the quick replies…

i agree on the wasted frames, but getting a stop back in return (by shooting 30) is a major consideration. if it were 24 i’d be set, but it’s not my call.

and there is a plan to do a quick test, but i wanted to check with the cow to see if there was any pre-test wisdom i could gather. then as far as the 4:3 over 16:9 goes, the client wants to embed the finished product as an element in a powerpoint presentation. i think the hole cut is in 4:3. (yeah, i’d just change the ppt too but it’s not my call).

thank you all for your time.

Solved…

after much gnashing of teeth, it turns out the original project was edited with an academic version and it appears it doesn’t translate to 6.0.4. at least that’s the only explanation we could find.

first of all, thank you to everyone who chimed-in to help… it’s always much appreciated, and well, needed!

after checking all the files were 8-bit… except for one. i changed the lone CMYK image to RGB and all is now rendering. heck, it even played after the render!

next time i’ll check the stock answers, but it didn’t come up when i searched “codec not found” prior to posting.

i don’t know if it was in my original post, but i have 16gigs of ram.

again thank you for the save!

thanks david…

i ended-up trying it with the IoHD on and off prior to starting the cpu. strangely enough, it made no difference with the latency issue. i just have to remember to take a breath or two before i playback after a good scrubbing. not too mention taking gary’s advice and uncheck the HQ audio in FCP.

thanks for the input.

onward & upward,

eric

hi gary-

thanks for the help.

now back to square one: i did an uninstall, restarted, reinstalled the IoHD setups, restarted and, only after aggressive scrubbing in the timeline, is there a change in sync. however, if you wait 15-20 seconds the sync appears to return.

other than that, it now all seems to work fine.

again thanks for the reminder on the uninstall… D’OH!

hi bob-

you might be on to something… here’s the results of what you asked and another interesting deal:

for starters, the aggressive scrubbing did in fact change the sync significantly. which makes some sense because in my prior frustration i did move the mouse back & forth in a less than happy fashion. i checked the frame offset & it did not change numerically. also, if you waited a few minutes, the sequence played back closer to sync, but not on.

in addition, upon opening the sequence and initially playing the sequence (before scrubbing aggressively), it began playing short loops (my guess is about 30-60 frames) in an exponential fashion. this lasted about five seconds then the sequence played normally. BTW the timeline showed no sign of movement during this looping activity.

just to make sure, i went back and restarted FCP & the sequence again. everything occurred the same as above, sans the wacky, exponential looping thing. though on prior days this did happen.

the added thing i noticed is that the setups for IoHD & KONA 3 apparently cannot co-exist in FCP. originally i was going to use a K3 with this machine (MP Tower), but i had to wait on using it, so the IoHD got put into use. when i added the setups for the IoHD, the K3 setups disappeared. i thought nothing of it since i wasn’t going to be using the K3 immediately anyway.

so you know, prior to this test i added my K3 card (with b-box) and reloaded the setups. for this test, i reloaded the IoHD setups, which in turn removed the K3 setups. BTW, there have been no sync issues with the K3 (offset at 4 frames).

this is all done on the MP 8-core tower running leopard.

hopefully this helps you in your research and if there’s anything else i can do, let me know.
