I don’t have After Effects, but once it was mentioned I opened up a Motion project using the ‘Presentation – Large’ preset and created my custom aspect ratio. Then I dropped in some DSLR footage that had been transfered to Prores. Looks pretty good. (Though I own Motion, I have very little experience with it, so I’m guessing with the Presentation preset.)
Is the best move to go from DSLR to Prores, edit in Final Cut, then export a QT file and resize it in Motion?
Am I able to edit Prores in Final Cut and then export it back at the original quality (before the Prores compression)? Because what I’ve done looks good on my monitor, but I think the display this is destined for is around six feet tall.
Thanks again! -
I’m also having trouble getting the markers from FCP to DVDSP, but I had them in the right place to begin with: at the top of the timeline, chapter markers, etc…
I tried the ‘add embedded markers’ tip and it didn’t work.
I just tried exporting the markers as a text file. It exported them and I can see the markers in the text file, but when I import them into DVDSP I get a message that says: “Finished importing markers. 0 markers imported.”
My FCP chapter markers haven’t been working in DVDSP for months now, but I haven’t been making too many DVDs, so it wasn’t a big problem to just create them in DVDSP. Now I need it to work, though.
Any further ideas?

I’ve had this happen a number of times, but haven’t been able to recreate it or find a common thread in the situations that could help me troubleshoot. I’ve repaired permissions, trashed prefs, restarted, rested my drives. Nothing seems to eliminate it completely. I also have a Blackmagic card, but I’m not always using it.
Recently, I captured some clips via the Voiceover tool. Once all the clips were in and I started editing them I was getting these loud screeches randomly on one of the clips, but not on any of the others – to the point where I had to trash the clip. I never bothered recapturing it, but it made me think there was something in the clip triggering a glitch rather than it being a random hardware or software issue.
I’m keeping an eye on this thread to get to the bottom of this. Like you guys, it’s the closest I’ve ever come to smashing the computer.

Thanks. The JH-3 did need to be setup to put out 23.98. The IO HD didn’t recognize it as such, though the AJA tech I had on the phone said it would. I did a lot of tweaks and restarts, but the IO HD was sure it was reading 29.97 off the tape. Then for no reason that I could discern it suddenly recognized 23.98psf.

Nevermind.
Plugged into the wrong port.
Silly. -
Any resolution to this?
I just upgraded to Snow Leopard, the latest FCP AND the latest BCC. I’ve been getting the same error message.
Thanks. -
This just happened to me for the first time.
I had been having random crashes and general sluggishness. I had some downtime last week so I wiped my main drive clean and reinstalled everything.
Since them I’m having a major crash just about daily and have to do hard reboots. The only constant during these crashes is that FCP is open.
This KGCore crash happened while the machine was rendering a Magic Bullet heavy sequence. Since Magic Bullet is a new addition to my machine and I wonder if it was involved in anybody else’s KGCore crash. -
Is it possible that there’s a small space between your two clips?
If so, you may have selected the end of the first clip rather than the joint between two clips. The crossfade you added would act as a fade to black (provided there’s no clip on a lower track) and your next clip would just pop onscreen rather than fading in. -
I have no idea why, but the issue mysteriously resolved itself.
The only thing I can think of that may have had an effect on it is that I unplugged the HDMI cable from the Intensity card and plugged it back in hours later. During that unplugged time I only used the computer for scanning some pictures. My scanning program (EPSON Scan) quit saying it couldn’t find the scanner. I re-opened the program and it found the scanner and worked fine.
Later, on a whim, I checked to see if I could choose my deck in the audio/video settings pane and there it was.PS. I haven’t investigated the DVDSP issue much further, but I did find out that my problem is limited to dual-layer discs only. I was able to burn a single-layer DVD with no problem.

I can’t speak as to whether or not you’ll lose quality. I gave up on the flicker filter for another approach as the I find the flicker filter to be a little ‘hit and miss’.
Now if I encounter flicker I duplicate the clip onto the next track and offset it by one frame. Then I drop the opacity on the top clip to 50%. It can get tedious in a complicated edit, but it usually takes care of flicker pretty well.
