Terry, do frame controls matter when going from my EX1 timeline to m2v?
-
So am I better off just exporting a self contained movie?
-
Everything is rendered to pro res 422. I can understand this time when exporting a self contained Quicktime, but why would a reference file take this long?

I have someone asking about capturing a 2 camera shoot (sony Ex1’s) into a switcher with audio and capturing the outputs of the switcher and audio right the FCP Live Is this even possible?

No I’ve always used “open” as well I cut the whole show that way. RT playback is set to multiclip, I’ve tried double clicking a clip in the timeline to reset it as was suggested. Still no luck. When I hit the space bar I see both cameras in the viewer, but when I hit play, I only get the full frame of what’s on the timeline.
I even tried dragging this to a new sequence. That doesn’t work either, but when I just drop one of my multiclip clips onto that same sequence it works fine.

Hi Rafael- These are from Beta SP 8 bit uncompressed. Some are two camera multi-clip interviews. But the rest are talking heads, fade up, add titles lowerthird, fade out with some minor CC.
My hope would be to edit each clip and then batch export them while I’m off doing something else. Quality is key for these guys to be able to make flash files from the best QT I can give them

It should be an .ac3 file. If not you may have only taken the video settings from the settings folder. You need to compress the audio settings as well to the same destination.

Chris, the video was shot edited in HD then downconverted to SD wide screen DVD.
I do not know the native resolution of the 50″ Samsung Plasma they used. Can you tell me more about the 3:2 pulldown issues? Is that something done in compressor? Or is that something done on the Plasma screen? Like I said it plays nicely on my LCDTVs and also on a Plasma screen with an upconverting DVD player. -
Hi Mark, perhaps you’re misunderstanding me. Although the AV company is an hour away they didn’t receive the DVD from the client until they were on site at the trade show in another state. Since I had checked my DVD on multiple set-ups and all looked fine, why would I travel to the AV company to check their set-up?
There was no room for additional billing for my time, as I already agreed to a final price with the client, and I ate about 25 hours of additional editing to keep the client happy.
Maybe I’m just dumb, but I don’t see how it’s my issue if the Plasma Screen doesn’t play the video correctly. As I stated earlier the AV company was using a Standard DVD player hooked up via a composite cable.
What are you supposed to do when you send out multiple DVDs to multiple clients? Travel to each and every office and check their set-up to avoid complaints? That’s not realistic. I don’t mean to be arguing with you Mark, I also don’t mean to appear defensive so please forgive me as I respect your opinion.
As I said before, I’ve produced hundreds of convention and trade show videos that are edited and completed at the last minute and sent fedex to the client on site at a hotel in another state. That’s the nature of the business. I can’t fly out there and check the video on site, but I can go through all the checks and tests I do locally. There is NEVER one person with sole ownership on projects like this unless the same company shooting and editing the video is staging the event or providing the playback equipment.
Thanks for your suggestions Mark.
