Check your timeline viewer settings before you export. They should be on “Better Quality” and “Optimize/Original” media playback

Hello CC forum,

I am looking for suggestions for a stabilizer (either mechanical or motorized) for a BMPCC4K that is easy to use/set up and under $1500.

I have rented the Zhiyun-Tech CRANE 2S Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer Combo Kit in the past and I found it to be cumbersome and hard to set up and fiddle with. I am a corporate videographer and former…

Are you able to playback on the camera?

Did you ever find your wizard? If so I need to pick their brains!

Hi Suan,

You can move the original files to another drive, then when you are ready to relink the proxy files to the original files on the new drive, do waht Robert Olding has suggested. You simply choose Relink FIles, then chose all or missing, then click Locate all, chose the drive and folder where the new location is, and click relink. Voila!

Do you have a support contract with CatDV? I don’t know if I can help you but here is my recent experience with CatDV. I have been running this software since 2014.

Yes. I did. I finally just pulled the TV monitor out of the mix and that solved it (in a way). Once I am ready to use the TV monitor for final playback I’ll plug back in and see if that “fixed” it.

I made a short screen recording to show you but it’s too large for this post reply. Check it out here. https://youtu.be/o1izEJWySdg

Basically you can change the keyframe from “linear” to “smooth” by right clicking on the keyframe when you are in the transform viewer.

That is actually how I actually got to this issue. Mac wasn’t booting up correctly, (applications were unresponsive) so I unplugged all peripherals and rebooted. I’ve had this set up since 2014 so it’s not changed much. In 2019 our company decided to take over IT services for our department’s Macs and put all kinds of security software on them and…

Hello there,

I have a recent issue with my 3 monitor set up. I have 3 monitors, 2 Apple Displays and a HDTV set up. My FCPX v. 10.4.9 used to be set up so that I had the Viewer set up on my left monitor and the rest of the interface such as timeline and browser in the right. BUT now the viewer wants to go to the HD TV monitor which is not in my…
