Thank you,
But do you think if I create folders inside my capture scratch, to help searching trough my captured items, FCP will work out well even if all my media are not on the first level of my capture scratch?
By the way I’m working on external drive of course.

Thank you
Guillaume

The thing is that we have to delivered in 720P50 and in digi beta, so we do the 720P out put first and than the digi beta from that tape. If we try to output directly from the 25fps sequence via the Kona in 50fps settings, it’s impossible to get the first frame in place. We are 1 frame off. If we tried to offset the output, since it is based on a 25fps we get the same result, but earlier. That’s why we decide to move the sequence into a 50fps so FinalCut will duplicate each frame and that’s it! But then we discover that it does that greatly but not before and after each cut. That’s weird. The only work around: export the 25fps in a QT Ref 25fps and reimport it into a 50fps sequence. Since we get rid of the cuts. It works.

but why ?

[Guillaume Mayrand]

first,
Thank you for your quick respond.
If I return to my main post, My first issue isn’t with the output but within the FCP timeline that add a 3rd frame before each cut (see my first post)
I understand that if I put a 25 fps timeline to a 50 FPS timeline it will double the frames but why add a 3frame before each cut?….

Thank you

Thank you for your answer
Yes, I tought abour automatick duck but it wont help me here because its not the project itself that i want to transfer but only the stockshot.
I know that in FCP all the data i’m entering( log note, scene, take , etc) is set only in the FCP project and not the QT source.
I’ll take a look at your link and see…

[Guillaume Mayrand]

thank you,
But it supposed to remember the path even if you disconnect the external drive. Of course my media will be offline but still in the source column it should remember the path i gave it to him at the first time….
Because now he just don’t remember at all where he put it the first time, not even the beginning of a path.
Personnally it’s the first time I see this.

[Guillaume Mayrand]

ok,…
cause I want to log and capture my cassettes and my card the same way and to be able to import the caprtued stock shot in FCP and/or AVID but with s single ingest procedure.
have any clue?

[Guillaume Mayrand]

Thank you, that’s what i tought. I knew there was a function to boot the computer everyday.
This wasn”t a big issue but hey it worth asking =)

thank you
