For dropped or time code breaks

user preferences and turn off abort capture on dropped frames

and right under that make sure the drop down is make new clip

for p2, cant you give your clips a name , just like when you log and capture?

i am sure you can give it a reel number, description ect..

i would click your first clips from the browser,
then log it over on the right, then transfer it.

or, you can always order by time code from the browser window in final cut

this happened to me the other day as well.

If you have your image above a video track then lower the opacity of the video track or cut it out

often times for b roll i just stick some images over my main video track, that is, until my pictures wouldn’t render ect…

see if it works for you.

the other thing that worked was lowering the resolution of the image in photoshop.

“I crop out the crap on all my web/flash movies. That little line is nothing.”

Word!

On ward ho!

thx for the help

[Matthew Grimes]

well does anyone else have this?
this is also going to be flv’ed so will cropping hurt the quality?

I did, if i scale it up to 101 it goes away.
This is the same on my p2 captured footage as well as my mini dv footage

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

from final cut: export – qt conversion – dv stream

.dv file into sorenson to flv

sorry about the redundancy, just need firepower to tell the boss man what is going on.

My guess would be the loss in quality, not significant, but noticeable, would be from the final cut export. I understand that sorenson flv will make it a square pixel format, but should we go to square before that? from final cut to pixelate then to sorenson?
wouldn’t that compress, then compress again.

[Matthew Grimes]

is their any quality drops between capturing sqaure vs non square?
the problem is the boss has noticed a drop in quality and we are trying to improve it and streamline a workflow.
we capture ntsc dv, edit the same render to dv stream and squeeze to flv, should we render to a different codec then squeeze?
