Does anyone have a solution for this? I have run into the same issue; since I cannot “show contents” of the FCPX project I cannot relink the clips in the AE project.
I’d appreciate any tips. Thank you.

That’s great. Thank you very much, Todd!

Has this not been corrected yet? Are there any workarounds? I’ve got some 4K footage and it would nice to be able to jump to the correct time in the piece for re-framing.

Did you ever find any solutions?

My .02: If you’ve already got lenses and accessories for 2/3″ cams it might make for a simple transition to the HPX500. Based on the existing equipment, and if cost is not a factor, I’d go for the 2/3″ HPX500.

The footage was actually shot on P2, so I followed the “Log and Transfer” procedure inside of Final Cut Pro. I then took the “transferred” files in my capture folder and imported them into AE to begin compositing. Everything also plays back fine inside of FCP.

Good evening, Dave. Thank you for taking the time to respond. I export a WAV file from the DVCPROHD footage and brought it into AE. The WAV file played just fine, no problems at all. Any thoughts?

I suppose that would work to some degree. I don’t personally have any experience with that method though. You can purchase fairly large pieces of Plexiglas at a local hardware store (I’m not sure if they sell “pre-frosted” or not), but I am pretty sure I have seen some kits that allow you to frost windows (on doors for example).
As another option there are some frost “gels” used for lighting you can purchase by the roll. I believe they are about 4′ wide and you cut the length to suit your purpose.
You can achieve that shallow depth of field by opening your iris on your camera (or stopping it down). The wider the better. If you have too much light on your set you may have to use some filters (in camera if you have them or you can purchase ones that thread onto the lens) to help reduce the amount of light your camera “sees”, or you can throw some diffusion on lights (or if you have dimmer you can obviously use that).
The difficulty of achieving the DoF you are looking for will more or less determined by your camera. It is more difficult to achieve shallow DoF using a 1/3″ chip camera than it is with a 2/3″ camera.
You may already be aware of all the above, so please disregard if you are. Plus, there are many more knowledgeable people than I on this board that may be able to point you in the right direction or explain it better.

Thank you so very much for taking the time to respond. That was a complete TYPO on my part. I apologize. Here is a link to the receiver unit I am looking at: https://lectrosonics.com/wireless/400/r400a.htm
I was under the impression that this R400A was the same as the UCR411A, with the only difference being the form factor and optional battery power on the UCR411A. For my specific needs, I do not need the receiver to be portable and as you guessed correctly budget is an issue for me (as always). I have a gig rig that I have my mixer, receivers, etc. all mounted that I use for productions, etc.
My only experience with Lectro is that I rented a UCR411A/UM400A setup for a few days on a production. I was absolutely thrilled, no hits or hiccups. For all intents and purposes it was bulletproof. So now I am trying to get into a Lectro setup.
I mostly produce HD programming (commercials, etc.) but I also have a large client that I help with their seminars, etc to provide A/V services when needed. They setups there are large rooms with a couple hundred people (all professionals that tend to carry the dreaded Blackberry phones we all love).
So my “jump” from my AT2100 series to Lectro is quite large and I am hopeful to eventually get the UM400A transmitters later, if I can’t swing it now. But I think the other option with the LMa and R400A would give me everything with exception of detachable antenna on the transmitter and 100mW. The digital hybrid tech seems to be great and I would think that it more than likely lent itself to the fact that I had “bulletproof” performance on my last A/V setup for my client. Until I used the rented Lectros I had always had a few bad hits, that of course distract the audience, over the course of the week.
Again, I really appreciate your time and advice!

Thank you for the replies. Google is a great tool, I was just concerned with purchasing stock images to avoid any copyright or other problems with used images. Thanks again, I will check out those links!
