For best performance, get at least 1 gig per core=8 GB. 2 gigs per core would be optimum.

Ahhh-sorry, path text cannot animate the numbers!!

Apply Effect/Text/Path Text to a solid.

Excellent, thanks. I’ll use this method instead of the camera target.

Sounds like the file header needs to be compressed to allow progressive downloading. Open the file in QT and save it with a new name to compress the file header.

[Frippy] “if you want to convert your video to MPEG2 you must encode your 1280x720x23.98 to
720x480x23.98 with pulldown”This is incorrect. You can encode 23.976 Mpeg2 and the DVD player will add pulldown on the fly. Been doing it for years.

The “Deflicker” plug-in from Tinderbox 1 has saved the day for me many times.

If you have After Effects, load you QT in, set up a Comp and render it out adding any pulldown cadence you want in the render cue.

The only other thing is to make sure you have a high-quality RS-422 cable. Try another cable if you have it. I’m using a Comprehensive RS-422 cable. Also make sure the “use deck search mechanism” is checked. You might also try to make a new device preset from scratch using the Panasonic RS-422 protocol. If I think of anything else, I’ll let you know.

Apple changed the RS-422 polling interval from FCP 4.5 to version 5.0. This seems to cause trouble in “older” Panasonic decks. AJA released a plug-in that slows down the polling interval in FCP 5. It works great. Email me if you’d like me to send it to you. john_kaley (at) mac (dot) com
