Hi,

There are a few soulotions as I know. If you have the same source files than you can send only the project file the the DP. And he reconnects all the media. If I am right you want something like the offline/online editing.

There is a more elegant solution for your problem. This is known as FCP Server. I don’t know too much about it but It looks great. You can share all the footage and the DP can make the rough cut on the FCP Server client.

The last solution is the iChat Theater. When you make some edit and you share the result on iChat.

Hi Sam,

What kind of files do you use? Maybe the problem is the wrong pixel aspect ration. When you drop a file from the browser to the Timeline the FCP ask you “Do you want to change the sequence settings?” (If it is not the sam as the file what you wanna use). If you click “OK” than it should be okay.

Do you use 16:9 or 4:3 footage?

I had the same problem when we tried the EX1R at Budapest with NTSC settings. To solve the problem the shutter has to be the multiply of the 50 Hz (in the EU) or 60 Hz (in the US). For example 1/100 EU, 1/120 US.

I got some example:

There is a great way to make beautiful web videos (mp4).

If you find a file on the net what has a great look and small size. If it is quicktime compatible then simply drag it to the Compressor Presets window. It will create a new preset (with the name of the files). And the settings will be the same like the original file.

It works only with files what support Compressor.

We had the same problem. While we didn’t find the update for the FCP we recompressed It to DV-PAL .mov with MPEG Streamclip (watch for the pixel aspect ration if you shot in 16:9). And the interlaced look is disappeared.

I have found the answer:

The update of the FCP 7.0.3 inculdes the support for the NXCAM SD Mpeg files.

Oh great why I didn’t updated it. :S

[Gergo Szabo]

Well actually this is a kind of interesting problem. The the files are:

Type: MPEG-2 video elementary stream
Usage:SD DVD
Video Encoder
Format: M2V
Width: 720
Height: 576
Pixel aspect ratio: PAL CCIR 601
Crop: None
Padding: None
Frame rate: 25

We will use it in SD and as I see the original footage is SD too. That’s why I converted it to DV-PAL mov.

I know Log and Transfer we use It on the EX1R camera, but this is the first time when we used NXCAM. The EX1R records in SD to .avi

Do you know any batch solution for this problem?

Did you try to Right Click on the clip (on the timeline) and choose open in Viewer?

Thanks for the fast answer. At the time I have found a video tutorial on this site. Only thing I had to do the Recompress the clip to ProRES 422.

Best Regards
