June 11, 2008 at 11:17 am in reply to: quicktime doesn’t stretch 1440×1080 footage in playback

thanks for the hint chris. I checked the production setting in quicktime’s movie properties window. But the 1440×1080 video is still displayed in 4×3.
I know it’s not really a problem because final cut, avid, nuke, ae etc. display it 16×9. But when I show raw footage to people I do it in quicktime. And I know cmd+5 stretches the image a bit in fullscreen mode but the dimensions aren’t exactly right. I like things to be right, and this quicktime problem is like a loose tooth, I can’t stop playing with it till it comes out.

June 7, 2008 at 2:37 pm in reply to: sequence nesting? – MC mac

thanks for the info Dylan. I tried the collapse tool this morning. Good to know about and would be perfect but it seems to only work on the video tracks.

I haven’t noticed the fcp source in and out marks causing the sequence to unlink yet. but that doesn’t sound like fun. I have noticed I have to render twice sometimes, once in the tab and again in sequence 2.

also, I found this forum discussing this same topic with some work around suggestions:
https://community.avid.com/forums/p/53314/298455.aspx

I might not need nesting but I’ve gotten used to it. Maybe it’s the way I work. I’m making a movie that’s built almost like a sketch comedy show. I like to isolate each individual sketch in it’s own sequence. Plus, I’m using my editor as kind of a scratch pad to write and test ideas. Which seems to work better in different compartments. Keeps things cleaner. Then plug the sketch’s sequence into the movie’s sequence.

I really like cutting on avid but a lack of nesting might be a deal breaker for me. it’s like switching from layered compositing to nodal compositing, once you make the transition it’s hard to go back.

thanks again Dylan for taking the time to help out.

Hi jon,
it’s actually that I can see avid’s window panes behind finder windows or any other application windows. And I click on one of the pane’s like the source/monitor pane and only that pane comes forward, the bins, timeline, settings panes stay behind the till I click on them or the avid icon in the dock, and then all the avid pane’s come forward. I just want to click on any avid pane and have them all come forward.

as for finder windows, I don’t know how to make them disappear when I click into a different application. If I find out how I will post the secret.

Hi Zane,
thanks for the suggestion. It sounds like a good way to really control which frames make it into the clip. If I want to replace a 4th frame instead of a 5th frame every once in awhile.

I’m giving it a try but I’m new to smart folders and I don’t know how to search for files containing “1.png” and “6.png” Do you know how to do this?

thanks,

April 19, 2008 at 7:43 am in reply to: extract every fifth frame

nick that was great, it worked. And I’m definitely looking for accuracy. I got the idea from Shake’s global range setting. Where you can type in 1-16×5 and then it’ll render a flipbook with the frames 1,6,11,16. Would like that for FCP.

and thanks for the switching to frames TC tip. It’d be nice to be able to bind that to a key.

April 19, 2008 at 7:25 am in reply to: extract every fifth frame

Thanks for the suggestion Jeremy. I gave it a try but it’s not exactly what I was looking for. It stretches out the frames to replace the others so:

frame# 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,etc.

effect>video filter>strobe – set to 5 becomes

frame# 1,1,1,1,1,6,6,6,6,6,etc.

and I want it to go

frame# 1,6,etc.

am I using it wrong?
