HI,

Another issue Ive found is in the logging as captured.
In clip properties chose ‘Logging Info’ you will find a coloumn called ‘Capture’ and all your clips will be marked ‘Not Yet’
Control click “NOT YET’ and change them all to ‘OK’.
This will tell FCP all your clips have been captured and your Duplicate Frame Detection will now work.

Cheers

Exactly what I have found I can export from the File Menu but not through the render menu? Must be a reason?

I am going back to my man to get a file I can work with and if anyone else asks me I

The reason for the .mov in the middle is i’m using a mac OSX and AE will not import AVI I have recieved. So the only way I’ve found of converting to something AE OSX can read is to output from IMovie to Quicktime ANIMATION . AE seems to like that and it’s the only lossless I can find.

if you know any other workflow I would really like to know.

many thanks all

I have an AVI uncompressed to start

I then imported into IMovie to convert and output a Quicktime Animation uncompressed which I then take into AE.

After adding my effect I then output to AVI uncompressed.

I then deliver the AVI uncompressed on ~DVD to my client he then compiled his movie and then burnt a DVD. Jitters appear!!

In all there are 3 scenes 2 of the scenes I applied my effect in AE without converting to Quicktime and
they are fine but a nightmare to work with everything is very slow.

But when I converted the 3rd AVI to quicktime Animation codec uncompressed and AE really likes that file type, real easy to work with but does not work when encoded back to mpeg2 for DVD playback. The other 2 are fine on DVD playback.

I think I have a workflow problem can you help.

Yeah I’m confused by my workflow too!!

When I try to work with the original uncompressed AVI in AE It’s almost impossible to work with but works as I mentioned the first 2 clips I did just that with and perfect pictures but a nightmare to work with.

I then decided to encode the AVI into a Quicktime ANIMATION Uncompressed which AE really likes and I can work with, everything flows very smoothly but when I output AVI Uncompressed and then take that file into DVD Studio Pro and it encodes it to mpeg2 it jitters.

The same thing is also happening on my clients machine when he makes a DVD ffrom the file the other 2 files are fine.

I’m guessing it must be the encoding to quicktime or the encoding back to AVI.

Any ideas on workflow would be very gratefully received .
