Hi Rob,
I’m pretty sure that I have seen this before and I’m pretty sure it was an easy fix, but I can’t remember the details. Could you say step by step what it is you are doing to get to that error message please? Hopefully that will jog my memory.

Do a search for “master to tape”, “print to video”, and “dropped frames” and you will retrieve a ton of steps for trying to solve this problem.
Here are a few quick suggestions:
-
Another option would be to apply an edge feather to both clips and overlap the border of your crop slightly. By “overlap the border” I mean to have video 2’s cropped border covering up video 1’s border. The edge feather will blur the line between the two clips. By overlapping the clips you will have more wiggle room for animating the moving border. Getting it to work properly will be tedious, but not impossible. Just keep tweaking it until you get it the way you want it.

If mixing down doesn’t work, make sure that you have all of your media on one drive that is seperate from the drive your operating system is on. Also, save your project with a new number. Sometimes all it takes is a new project file. Finally, as a workaround, try exporting the project as a self contained qt movie, reimporting it to FCP and into a new timeline, and recording from that. If these suggestions don’t work, do a search on this forum for dropped frames and you will find a number of posts where people way more experienced than I gave me the same advice I just recycled to you, and possibly some more advice that I am forgetting.
Good luck. I know how frustrating it is to finish a project and not be able to get it out of your machine.

Hopefully I don’t become the boy who cried wolf here, but now I’m at the point in the tutorial where I applied a ramp, and I am supposed to “change the transfer mode to ‘multiply'”, but I don’t have the mode drop down menu like he has on his screen shot in the tutorial. Where can I find this multiply function in AE 6.0? Thanks!

Sorry, I posted too quickly. I had to uncheck a box that said “Affect all layers that use this solid” or something like that. Thanks for reading this anyway.

[yikesmikes] “(is there such a thing as a community of outcasts… art mode kicking in here)”
Seems to me that my Philosophy prof. once said something about not being able to have a category of things that can’t be categorized- it’s a paradox. That being said, I hang out with a lot of outcasts.
Thanks for the advice, folks. I’ve been editing for a couple of years now with FCP and am ready to mix up the media with some other programs. Your links should set me on my way (and I presume make me more marketable, eh?). I guess you can count on hearing more nagging questions from me in this forum from here on out.

[Rob G.] “Plenty of room on both sides of the tansition, but it will not go beyond 1 single frame”
Is there plenty of room on the other side of the cut? If you want to do a 30 frame dissolve you need to cut off 15 good frames at the end of the outgoing clip and the beginning of the incoming clip. These frames will be used during the transition.
