    How much free space is on your system and media drives?

    Those PAL bars are really EBU bars. They are used throughout Europe…both PAL and SECAM.

    Smooth Cam looks at the Entire media file…not just the clip…so if you use the same media file in different areas of the sequence, any changes will cause it to unrender.

    The way around this is to export the clip you wish to use Smooth Cam on as a self contained Quicktime…then re-import it and replace the original. Then Smooth Cam will only look at the section you want, as it is now a new media file. This will also drastically speed up your rendering and analysis.

    First of all…you cannot use a reference movie on another machine (its only a pointer to the media which lives on your drive)

    Second…. you need to have FCP installed on the other machine to use the Uncompressed codec. It’s not part of the base Quicktime install and is not in Quicktime Pro either. A workaround is to install the software codec from either Blackmagic Decklink or AJA Kona on the other machine.

    The standard iO does not work with HD. Standard def only….so no DVCPRO HD

  • Good to know Sean.

    Glad you figured it out.

  • [rafael amador] “However I think that the suggestion of John is easier. Export as an .aiff and you won’t have time base problems.”

    He said he did that. Thats why I wanted to look at these files.

  • [Sean ONeil] “Changing the sample rate is changing speed in a sense. That’s how FCP and Cinema Tools change the assumed playback speed in order to conform audio to different framerates. “

    Yeah…I knew that….you sounded like you thought that FCP was doing a “conventional” speed change

    My system is:
    power mac G5 Dual 2ghz
    FCP 6.02
    OSX 10.5.2
    QT 7.4.1
    AJA Kona 2 installed, latest leopard drivers

    If you post an audio file, I can try it on my system and see what happens.

  • Its not doing a ‘speed change’ Its changing the sample rate.

    Strange thing is, I can’t duplicate what you are talking about. I can bring the same 48k AIFF file into a PAL or NTSC sequence without any issues (No green line, rendering, etc). Not sure what is going on at your end.
