Many thanks DAVID.

Are you familiar with the (TV) effect I’m referring to? What you describe sounds like how it’s being done.

Last… any plugin for this, as I’m going to have to go through a couple of dozens of clips with this.

Thank you again anyway.

Many thanks for your input on media.

We seem to be settling on a Microboards Copywriter LightScribe 1:5 (just trying to find one that can be shipped in Europe for less than a third of the price itself…) ; any input on the LightScribe technology?

Many thanks for your input.

Any particular brand/model recommandation for a 3 DVD burner (printing feature a plus, not a must)?

Thanks again.

Many thanks for your quick answer.

Ok. So I shouldn’t expect much by upgrading from the 7300 GT?

Just saw this, here where the HD 5870 is said to work on 1,1 MP’s; I guess it’s the same thing, i.e. won’t work at max bw, but would it still give a noticeable increase for FCP/Motion renders and playback, or is it not worth the cost you think?

TIA.

Thanks, I converted everything to PRORES HQ with MPEG Streamclip ; looks about ok.

Thanks again for your input.

An update, just in case this would ring a bell to someone.

First, this jumpy playhead symptom, when it appears, seems to mostly affect the second half of 30+mn clips.

Second, sometimes, the offset between the point clicked and where the playhead stops is nearly consistent : 20 seconds and 2 or 3 frames.

Looks weird enough. I converted the whole clip where needed, but I’m still a bit puzzled as to why this happens, on about 1 out fo 4 clips. Again, these are footage from SONY CX-305 and MC1P cameras.

FWIW.

Sorry, I hadn’t seen your second post while I was typing my answer.

Actually, it’s not a matter of patience here, since on these clips only, clicking a hundred times to a specific point will get you to a random point (mostly located after the point where you clicked) whatsoever.

Thanks for reading.

Thanks for your input. I got your point.
The thing is that this only happens with (very few) specific clips, AND I just heard from someone else working for me on this on a recent iMac that they’ve been the same issue (namely the exported clip doesn’t match the one in the L&T window).

Would this (cpu “shortage”) happen on one particular clip and not others?

Thank you again.

Many thanks for your input, and the (radical) workaround.

I’ll do that if I don’t get a lighter solution.
