I Have used BBEdit to edit Panasonic metadata in the past to resurrect some problematic clips. I’ll take a swing at the method you offer in your conjecture and see what happens. Its a bit more in the weeds than I really want to be , but if it saves a little time by helping port those time lines over to FCP it might be worth the effort.

Here’s what I get when I try to import xml from resolve. I don’t care if I get the resolve organization, I just wan the time lines to come into FCP.

I know this might be slightly backwards but here goes. I started a project in Resolve 18 because of the large amount of Braw footage- didn’t want to transcode all that stuff-. So now that Braw toolbox has arrived, I’d like to bump the project over to FCP for a happier editing experience. I know most workflows tend to head towards resolve for edi…

In resolve- fairlight – I count 7 subframes offset with the TrackE ahead of the camera audio . Timecode is the same .

Recording on a BMPC6K pro and Track E . 6K Pro is 48K sample, Track E is 48 K sample though 32 bit float vs 24 bit for 6K so the sample mismatch is not sampling rate just bits. I haven’t tried Track E at 24 bit, which could be an open avenue.

I’ve been using some Tentacle track E recorders which work very well. The issue I am having is in post where even though I have synced timecode between the track E an a tentacle mounted on camera, in this case a Pocket 6 K pro. When I sync the audio file with the camera file using timecode the Track E recording is 30 ish subframes ahead of the c…

Resolve 18.1.1 – I think Voice iso now works on 32 bit float Track E files. Just noticed this today.

GO !GO ! GO ! I don’t code, but I could send some coffee if that helps. I’m creeping into resolve because of a project with tons of Braw . Both the director and I would rather be in X. Nothing against resolve other than any app with a 4000 page pdf for a manual needs to slow its roll a fair amount. Resolve is a fine editor, I prefer X, man…

Resolve supports 32 bit float, but voice iso apparently does not.

I like the Track E’s . I use them with either Sanken COS -11 or countryman B6 mics in 32 bit float recording and they have been great. There is a leap of faith one takes with these because you can’t monitor them as you would a radio mic, but after a year + of field use in some pretty tough situations, I have no complaints. Obviously the lim…

One possible difference between FCPX voice iso and Resolve Voice iso is that Resolve does not work on 32 bit float files and X does…. I’ve been using Track E recorders for a year or more now and have had to voice iso in a number of situations and X handles those tracks and Resolve did not voice iso a 32 bit track when I tried it yesterday.

I’ve been working in resolve as a work around with a project that has a lot of Braw content. I would be much happier working in X with support for Braw as described above. Resolve is great for Grading, ok as an edit platform ( there are pluses and minuses) . Maybe I am not a real editor, whatever, I think X suits me far better for editing. R…

Candles are much warmer than incandescent light. If you go for a 3200K white balance your candle light should look about right warmth and color

BRING IT!!!

I bought an original Mac Mini M1 which has served me well in the edit department. I am mostly cutting 4K and some 5.7 k and of course everything under those specs. When The M1 mini came out I was long overdue for an upgrade so it was a solid purchase. I also havE a 14″ MPB M series. Since I do shoot quite a bit having a desktop in addition to…

So it’s ok for color finale to build a FCP plugin to render braw into prores in conjunction with fcp which is a bit short of handling braw natively in FCP.

Its not a big leap to jamming TC between audio and video. While you may not have it for this project you should go down this path for your next one, as it makes life so much easier and better to have some redundancy for syncing files.

I find Physical stabilization whether gimbal, Wescam, stedicam, steadicam gimbal hybrid almost always better than stabilization with IBIS or optical. frame rates, as Joe points out are also a very big factor.

59.94 isn’t bad, the 23.98 definitely has mush coming into the clip from the stabilization. I have found that the worst thing is additive stabilization ‘Mush’ so if you use IBIS with lens optical you have to be really careful. I came across an example of this on a recent project, and admittedly the shooting situation was fringe – hand held from a…

I agree that it might be the situation that BMD uses Braw to purposely frustrate FCP users. Also agree about track based editing, my editing experience is just better with FCP because I feel like its tilted towards facilitating creative editing process, aside from having great organizing tools. I’m not going back to track based editing anytime s…

I have both color finale and CFT transcoder – I like them and use them both .

I’ve long thought that the BMD pocket cameras were the gateway drug to Resolve, you get a camera with a lot of bang for the buck and a free pass to Resolve which is a way to siphon people out of the FCP or Premiere world. I have Resolve, but rarely use it, FCP just suits me better, though I have to say Resolve is quite a package.

I can’t say anything about about Premiere from first hand experience- I have no experience with premiere. I am hearing from some friends that it is buggy & full of latency. I suggested to a person I know to try editing in X what he was doing in Premiere, which he did and realized what it took him half a day to edit in premiere he could do in about…

Fcpx already supports canon raw and red raw so why not Braw?

I’ve had the plug in for some months now and it works. What I am asking about whether there would be native support similar to Resolve so there is no need to transcode.

Is X ever going to support Braw natively? Are there structural or legal problems that prevent support of this format? Clearly Resolve supports the format and runs well on Macs, as does Braw player. There are lots of BMPC cameras out there shooting Braw, and I have a couple of them, I’d really like to see native Braw support, but am not sure if…

Yup – I accidentally selected the th wav track as the active video angle. I was sure how I tripped over that setting all I knew was one moment I had a 2 cam multicam with audio, and then I looked up and there was only audio.

Just editing along in my time line and suddenly the multicam clip I am using goes dark in the browser. If I open the clip I see both angles in the viewer but in the browser all I have is Black. I have the audio. I might have accidentally tripped over the wrong key on the keyboard just before this happened, BUT I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE! Ok…

Reporting back on the question I asked at the top of the thread- I tested a sync clip scenario where I had a Track E record of a 90 minute classroom session – mic on teacher- and grabbed all the clips shot in that same time period and created a synced clip with all the video clips with the continuous audio clip . This worked like a charm,…

Syncing up sections of audio and video clips, I’ll find a section of video that I need to sync an audio file with, copy timecode at play head location – switch to audio- file ctrl P, cmd V paste time code, return, Play head is now at the right location in the audio file and I can select the audio bit and sync the clips. In film strip view the play…

I’ll try out the Multicam route on my next go round. I do have time coded files, both the track E recorder and the camera originals in Braw have common code, B raw files were transcoded into Pro res with Color Finale transcoder plug in and sync flawlessly. The massive Multicam will likely be far less tedious than going section by section and…

I have some clips that are 5 – 6 minutes long video clips and a continuous audio take recorded on a Tentacle trackE . All good so far. I want to sync audio with a selection inside that 5-6 minute video clip ( time code is jammed for camera and audio) so I am selecting a section of picture and then want to find the same section of audio within…

I use a BMD ultra studio to convert analog to digital for use in X. That said I can save the captured file as pro res Lt or pro res HQ and ther is no difference: you are putting a thimble full of info in a quart container or a gallon container, its still just a thimble full of info. Getting the best playback possible with a VHS machine in good…

Sync clips before editing is the way I work as that leaves you with the most freedom to edit afterwards . If you have to go back into a project and sync clips cut by cut that is painstaking and a crazy. If its one or two clips, that need syncing with audio in a time line its doable,but after that it gets tedious very fast. If you have a multicam…

And just like that- suddenly Multicam clips behave normally again.

I just stepped into what might be another variant of this same issue: I have a simple 2 camera interview shoot – Subject off angle, subject close eye line, Camera audio ( crap) 2x tentacle track E audio files, interviewer and subject. I made a multicam clip of all 4, 2 camera angles 2 audio tracks. All good so far. In the angle editor all clips…

True,

Lst year this time I was deep in multicam clips for several projects. The camera angles were captured by different spec cameras and so required some correction for matching. I applied color correction to angles in the multicam clip as required. The color correction work was done As an earlier step in the process and so when I output…

What is meant by ‘break apart clips’ in this context? Not quite following this-

I got a M1 Mac mini , 16 GB and 1 TB ssd. I cut about 8 multi cam projects of varying length 4 K and 1080 ftg combined with this computer and my drive was a 2 TB samsung T7. I make ‘forked’ libraries with the library file residing on the computer’s ssd and the media residing on the T7. This combination has proved to be a very fluid editing exper…

Make a note- when it comes to titles and sound levels among other things the inspector is your best friend. You can do temp titles and place them, then select the all in the inspector, change the font, font style, color just about any parameter and apply the change all of them – boom .

Enabling the trim tool is exactly what I thought was the case, so of course I toggled the A key and couldn’t exit the position function. I tried toggling the A key several times to no effect and then maybe two minutes later, X went back to normal operation.

I was working on a string out in latest version of X on the latest system software running on 2015 iMac 5K. In the process of trying to do some simple trims by selecting on edge of a clip and nudging it one way or the other, I ran into this situation where if I was trimming the clip to make it shorter, as I was nudging or dragging the clip edge,…

The answer to your question might be the “custom” title choice which has controls for direction, speed, sequence of write on and write off.

Hallelujah – browser list views can be saved as defined presets and they work!

I’m not asking color match to do much. I already have done a manual match myself for the same 2 cameras on another project, and I figured I would try the tool just for th heck of it. The FCPX tool is simple, I’m simply surprised that it does not work as intended on my machine . I’m on the verge of getting color Finale, I already use their…

Yep. like the extension . The 1.1 upgrade has been released, however I do not see a way to download or get the update in any way shape or form.

I bought the plug in – It works & I really like the Gen 5 color science with the BMPC4k . I had one funky transcode on a short clip, which came out ok on second attempt. I was hoping for BRAW implementation in X, which cold maybe still happen but until such time the Colro Finale plug in will be a welcome addition.

Has anyone been using the color finale BRAW transcoder extension for X? If so, how would you rate/recommend It? Its not an expensive plug in so cost is not an issue, I’m more interested in how functional it is.

I’m also wondering about whether now that there is a plug in available, Apple’s next up date to X will include BRAW functionality. The g…
