You can edit your clips in the final cut timeline. Select them, right click and select “send to motion” that section of your timeline will be in a layer edited ready to go.

Yeah, for DV25 footage, DV Matte Blast is definitely the way to go. Your not going to get Movie quality keys from it, the edges will look a bit soft and high frequency detail will disappear (strands of hair, ect.). But it’s really good at clearing up the chunky edges. Also I would suggest breaking up the 7 minute project into 1 minute or so chunks if possible.

The most often cause is the media is flagged as field based. In the panel with layers, media, audio select media. select the clip, go to the inspector for the media and look at field order. It’s probably set to lower (even). Projects default to non-field based and field based footage will look half-res. You can do one of two things. If you want to do a frame-based render set the media’s field order flag to none. Or for a field based render leave it alone and under the view button in the top right of the viewer, select fields. In either case go to edit, project properties ender settings and make sure best is selected in antialiasing.

Quote: Interesting insight. The Lacie FW800 is configured the same way — two drives striped RAID 0. I can’t say whether they spin in opposite directions as you mentioned, but it is a good point of cistinction if true.
No, they’re not. The LaCie doesn’t do the opposite writing scheme. There’s an arrticle on barefeats.com comparing the two. The laCie was a little faster when empty, but the G-RAID maintained better performance as they filled up. I bought a laCie because I could get it a bit cheaper. If I had the extra bucks, I’d get a G-RAID.

Select the clip. On the top menu, go to edit, split.

I’m a little confused by some of the posts. You got a Decklink Extreme right? It has component analog ins and outs. Can’t you hook the outs to a nice CRT? I’ve been contemplating getting an Extreme myself and would like to pair it up to a Panasonic or Toshiba 26″ widescreen HD monitor. If you need more outs to go into the component ins of a deck you could get a nice CAV DA from Audio Authority.

Yeah, it happens. Motion hasn’t crashed. It will eventually stop.

Yep, export.

The quickest way I’ve found is to render out a new clip of the shot on the FC timeline. Open the Motion project, select the new clip from the file browser within Motion and drag it over the layer control thingy on the left of the timeline. Where you see the blue filmstrip icon denoting the clip itself within the layer. Your cursor should change to a little upsweeping arrow to tell you you can drop the clip in.

One thing you can do to extract single frames is to take the clip into After Effects and re-time it at 1/6th it’s original length, and turn frame blending off. You should automatically pluck every 6th frame without manual editing. This is assuming that it records exacly 6 frames each time.
