Sorry about the lack of details. My brain is a bit shot from speed ramping in Twixtor all day. I am using this in Final Cut Pro, Twixtor version 4.5FxPlug. It seems that I max out at 2000% percent. If the action took 5 seconds @30fps to happen in real time that would be 150frames. If this was shot at 1000fps thats 5000frames. If played back at 30fps in the sequence it would take approximately 166 seconds to play the action in full. How much can I speed the action up to get it to play in real time? Does that make any sense?

I have a similar situation. Footage coming in was shot 24P on HVX200. Final output needs to be XDCAM 1440x1080i. No tape here just files. What is the best post workflow for this? Should I edit natively as to avoid rendering clips and “conform” the final master somehow into the XDCAM 1080i format? If so how should I do this? Compressor, Cinema Tools?

I am experiencing the same issue running SL, FCP 6.0.6, AJA LHe 7.5

One other thought and question. Do I really want to change the frame rate here? Wouldn’t 30P be best or ideal for keying? Also By converting to either ProRes or whatever isn’t that also going to hurt my chances of getting a good key since I’m stepping on the footage again? Is there a best codec for this scenario?

I know I know. Plus I’m doing this as a favor for free and it’s costing me $500 to buy Primatte Keyer Pro in order to be able to pull any sort of decent key.
Any suggestion on what I should transcode to? Would an uncompressed format be best in this instance as to not introduce further degradation. The whole piece is approximately 2 min long. -
Yes I know H.264 Blue screen. They shot on a Canon 7D. So are you saying to do everything in Compressor? No need for Cinema Tools?
-
Yes the original audio was 44.1 hence the strange conversion. So I should conform in cinema tools to 29.97. Then take those files onto compressor to convert to ProRes and 48k? Will I have any sync issues or pitch problems with the audio?

Any other thoughts on this problem?

Yes the machine came with SL. We contacted Apple about running Leopard and they said they don’t recommend it but sent a Leopard install disc to try. That turned into blue screen of death boot problems so we wiped the drive and installed SL. Everything has been fine accept for this issue.

I trashed the quicktime prefs and this did not fix the problem. AJA sent a new card to try out. We will put that in tomorrow. Seems like a driver issue to me, since the card worked great in the previous system on Leopard.
