Do you want to go out to a deck, or a window burn?

Well, cinema tools is a different story. You are essentially creating new media with cinema tools, with new timecode (transcoding). FCP can remove advanced pulldown on the fly (through firewire sources such as dv or dv50) and pick off those frames with pulldown, but leaving the original timecode in tact for later recapturing. If the footage is shot 24p with normal pulldown (3:2) you have to use cinema tools for the processing to remove the pulldown. Does this make sense?

MPE, no offense, but have you worked with 24p material w/ advanced pulldown? If FCP generated new timecode for captured clips, there would be no way to recapture offline clips.

Removing pulldown is doing just that, removing (or more accurately skipping) frames. If you are removing advanced pulldown, FCP is skipping (i.e. not capturing) the frame with pulldown leaving you to edit with 24 progressive frames. Adding pulldown allows 24p to be recorded on to NTSC 60i tape, hence the 29.97 timecode. That’s why your timecode is the way it is. You aren’t recording 24 fps timecode, you are recording 29.97 frames a second with 29.97 fps timecode, and removing the ‘offending’ interlaced frame. Is the footage shot with advanced or normal pulldown?

Hey J.

Ironically, i had the same problem as you today and I wanted to share my fix. I noticed in the timeline, above the part where the audio dropped, there was a light blue line in the render indicator bar on the audio part of the small thin line (the part that usually turns red when you have to render something). I had moved a title that was created in Motion from there, right before the audio dropped. My work around was to split the Video track underneath the blue line, trim the clip beyond the render line (both forwards and backwards). I then dragged the clip back together, deleted the split, and sure enough the audio played. Somehow Final Cut was holding on to a render file that was no longer there. Hope this helps.

You can most definitely go faster.

I have to ask, but you are hitting j (rewind) or l (ff) multiple times, correct? With the mouse (not the keyboard) hit stop and then hit rewind of ff.

Dig through the menus and play with the max shuttle speed.

Sorry Manuel. I wish the news could be better.

It doesn’t have assemble edit capability either.

You need the AJ-HD1700 studio deck for accurate assembly/insert.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
