Michael,
If you are seriously interested in teaching yourself about the dynamics that video compositing can achieve – (media 100 844Xe)
I have an 844Xe system that I last used in 2012 for a DVD menu animation. Poor Me.

Michael,
Hat’s off to you. If M100 is now in the underworld you are definitely a dog. But your response to this thread is in English. This is a silly call for world translation of a once untouchable editing system that’s close to being called Boris.

Does anybody have an 844Xe system they can donate to Michael Slowe ? Please.

Just wanted to add that when using the titling through Boris everything seems to be solid. Problem only occurs when editing a comp track.

Hi Jaeson, I haven’t had any problems with M100 v2.1.2 but with my 844X my timeFX would never work – I did have the occasional win by zooming out the timeline before rendering. May help.

Thanks Floh, I did think about that in hindsight but was hoping for a magic phantom solution so I didn’t have to re encode 10hs of footage again. Wishful thinking on my part.
I’ll give prores422 a go – thanks heaps.

Hi Floh –
I have found that the problem lies with the DVCpro codec. I had recently installed Calibrated Decode for mac which needs to be registered! The blocks are from this app. I had assumed that the Panasonic P2 manager would have placed the codec within quicktime, but no. Thanks again.

Hi Floh –
Running Producer V 13.0.3 on 15″ Intel Macbook Pro w/ OS X 10.5.6 and Quicktime Pro 7.6.0 (1291).
The test footage is recorded from a Panasonic AG-HPX502 camera to a FS100 drive @ 1080i/25p
I have also recorded some 1080/50i with the same results. The FS100 is set to DVCproHD / P2.
I have also recorded the footage onto P2 cards with the same end results.
The footage looks and plays fine within the Panasonic Management software on the same computer, but imports into Producer with the blocks and stretched aspect ratio.
I have placed the P2 test file in a .zip @ the following ftp site for u:

Thanks heaps for your time on this Floh.
