Try deleting your shot. Save wire cast and shut it down. Unplug the firewire to camera and laptop. Power off camera. Connect firewire to laptop. Connect firewire to camera. Turn on camera. Turn on wire cast. See if this works.

I was streaming to UStream

Hi Stephen. Here is my issue on the template: it was a drop zone that cracks and falls away. there were like 6 layers per drop zone. It starts with the pieces coming up to make a drop zone, then the video plays and then it cracks up and falls away. I was trying to extend only the center section so the video plays a bit longer before the pane cracks. Szymon emailed me back and said it was not easy to do . I tried what was suggested in that video you sent by dragging the keyframes proportionately but that messed up as well. I went to plan b and used the shorter motion length and did a fit to fill in FCP

Hi Mark, as I said, it was one of Szymon’s free templates. I have just started working in Motion and was using this as an exercise to help me learn. I did contact Szymon but he is around the world so I was hoping for a clue from someone here in the states. I hope I didn’t offend you for asking for advice on a free template. He offers several for free and I didn’t think it was an etiquette issue but apologize if it is.

Yes, 14 x 13 is the physical size. I am waiting for the par and sar for viewing. Since the 4×3 video would leave a lot on the sides, I was going to add the background so it was more pleasing than black. I just didn’t know how to handle that in FCP. I realize I could set up a 16 x 9 sequence with it being filled with a background and then lay the sd Pro Res file on it, add text and render out to play a 16×9 .mov through the IOHD and into the switcher. Im sure it is an SD switcher so I guess I can only letterbox or crop. I’ll let you know when I get the specs.

Hi Jeremy, I was going to do that for the media I was going to show but I was thinking of a layer beneath the media like a simple motion background that would fill the 17′ x 13′ screen. I don’t want to blow out the videos but having the background layer there would allow me for some text and such. Does this make sense?

Once again Jerry to the rescue! Trashed QUICKTIME preferences and all is good.
Thanks Jerry

great idea. Thanks

It would seem to me that youll end up with multiple passes of the same LTC code. If its like any album ive engineered (and there have been a few) it wont be pass where many people play along together. Its singe elements over and over with drop in and outs, vocals overdubs, harmonies etc etc etc into the night.
Hi Peter, This is EXACTLY what we are going to do. The concept will be for me to film each singular piece, then when we get to the vocals, I’ll add the session players playing back up, then the finished vocals, then the band will do the complete song a couple of times. Then I will shoot the leader with the engineer as they talk about the song and the key audio parts.
Then my promo video will be edited showing the layering of efforts to produce the final product.
So I’m thinking out loud, if I need to go back afterwards or decide to get the engineers mix vs. my discrete capture, it would be nice to have the reference.
All in all though, I can see it might not be that necessary.
Tye, I am using A/D converters to capture AES into the IOHD or if they can give me AES directly, I’ll do that.

Hi Jeremy, your right, I kinda knew I was pushing it with my MBPro. I did NOT capture HDV. I did use the component cable, it went into the converter which embedded the audio in a 10 bit full raster 4:2:2 stream. I do this because I need longer lenth than my cable. I set my MBP up in the corner and I use my 25 ft hd sdi cable. As I said, I was lazy this time and used the system drive to capture. Tell me, why does it matter where the data goes anyway. I never understood that. I always thought it tok the same resources either way.
