Jim – it’s near 3 years later and I’ve just come across the same problem in CS6. Did you find how to get them back??

April 6, 2013 at 10:31 am in reply to: Question about GH2 and Workflow

Hey I’m having the same/similar issue here and wondered if anyone could help.

I have 3 SD cards.
Sandisk Class 4 SDHC 4GB
Sandisk Extreme Class 10 SDHC 16GB 45MB/s
Transcend Class 10 SDHC 32GB

I recorded a 15s clip (of the same thing) onto each card using the Cinema 24p profile on my GH2.

I logged and transferred each one into FCP 7 and exported separately from the timeline.

In Quicktime they all have a data rate of ~ 115-119Mbit/s. Which is around 14MB/s for each if I’m not wrong.

Isn’t the Cinema 24p mode meant to be ~24MB/s??

Thanks, George

For anyone coming across this as I just did, if you have multiple shapes contained within in one shape layer, in the shape layer ‘Add’ options (small arrow to right of ‘Contents’) you can choose ‘Merge Paths’. This then has Pathfinder style options.

You can apply Merge Paths to all the contents by selecting ‘Contents’ before adding Merge paths, or if you select the individual shape it applies the Merge Paths to whatever is contained within that shape.

Hi Walter,

Thank you for the links. I knew most of it, but always good to brush up.
I am using a camera on a vector animation (and I dont have cs5.5) so think I’ll go for the Fast Blur or the Camera Lens BLur effect.

Thanks!

Hi Todd,

Thanks for your help. I will look up the Lens Blur effect, as I dont have cs5.5. I’ll use either this or the Fast Blur. It’s for a vector animation.

Cheers.

Hi Steve,

Thank you for your reply. So Fast blur is ahem, faster in terms of rendering than Gaussian? Thanks for this tip, I’m always using Gaussian.

I’m using a 15inch macbook pro with 4gb RAM. Cant remember the processor speed but itll be the Core 2 Duo (I’m not at my a work machine now).

Other replies have mentioned using Cs5.5 which I don’t have. So think this is the way to go.

Cheers!

Hi Kevin thanks for your reply. You were right with the first link – i.e. technical ability.

I’ll get onto it!
