    I am very surprised that no-one on this forum has ever come across this.

    Strangely enough even identical DV cameras sync will drift after 2 mins or so unless you can lock the cameras to external timecode.

    You could try fitting-to-fill one cam to the other from identifiable sync points – I do this with music vids – abeit a short duration – and works fine.

    You can sync multiple XL2’s via free run and a remote:

    handy to know.

    The real timesaver is hire a MX50 or a Firewire vision mixer to switch the cams to a deck, and run tapes as iso on the cams, in case the vision mix is dodgy.

    Apparently Capture Magic Pro can record 2 DV streams at the same time, so would be no sync issues.

    Good Luck,

    The response:

    “Actually…it is not a frame late. What is actually happening is that it is duplicating the first frame. So you get two ;00 frames. You can see this if you add a timecode generator to your project then export it.

    Needless to say. We know about this nasty guy and have a fix for it now. It will be out in the next driver release.”

    Would of thought there would be endless complaints about this: Assuming this isn’t happening to anyone – does this mean I’ve got my genlock setup wrong?
    Just to double check that I’ve got my leads in the right place; does anyone have a signal flow diagram for Decklink HD (ie with genlock) to Digi? The manual isn’t clear enough.

    Thanks

    [zrb123] “That tutorial was in absolutely NO way offensive to anybody

    Maybe or maybe not depending if you’re christian or not. It is inappropriate image that should go against this forum’s code of conduct, however subtly it is used.

    You would think that the Cow would disallow images that have any religious slant on them for the respect of people of all religions and nations that read this forum!

    yes that’d be beautiful yikes mikes:
    probably best to chuck it on megaupload in case anybody would like it.
    If not I’ll give you my email.(respond back)

    Basically QueJet its not a plugin nut an aep project that Tyler paul set up. A screen that has been replicated through expressions to look 3d with a mosaic pattern to look like a big jumbo screen. Looks real cool.

    thanks

    Have you tried adding timecode tracks to media files by using Modify > Timecode within FCP?”

    very interesting….but with our workflow of AE and Maya artists – some of them don’t use FCP.

    I was thinking they could just open quicktime player plug in a TC to save one of their rendered files for us…

    jon

  • Wouldn’t it be good if you could assign TC to clips?

    imagine outsourced shots/graphics coming back with a timecode reference to be resynced in FCP to…

    can’t be that hard really to implement…
