Thanks Bob,

Sounds like a good way to go.
I have one question about the SmartScope Duo.
Is it easy to turn off the SmartScope ( I dont see a on/off button)
Because when I view a graded edit I like to have my clients only see the grading monitor
and that they are not distracted by wavevforms etc.

Or is there an option to turn off in the Smartview Utility?

thanks in advance

Hi Shane…

Thanks for your reply…

I know it’s not a standard size… but I never before had any problems editing shots in a timeline with
strange sizes… Just needed to render and Voila…

Now no go..

Hi Rafael..

Thanks for the reply…

I know that with square pixels the dimensions are 1024×576..
But QT doesn’t show 1024 but 1044 pixels by 576
And not even 1044 but 1044.8 pixels…
That’s what I found odd…

Before I always got a QT movie with the dimensions 720×576 when I open in QT (visual settings)
and the movie is then squeezed…. (showing not anamorphic pixel)
Now the movie is not squeezed and has the dimensions 1044×576..

This happens on my set that has fcp 7.0.1
My other set which still runs fcp 6.0.6 on a quad core PPC
and I use the same settings and procedure ends up with a QT movie 720×576

Hope anybody can clear this up for me

Hi MarkCookman

Don’t now if you’re doing this right now, but you can select the first one in the list and then type in the first letter of the one you’ll be using… It will go then to that part in the list

I use it when I want to go to Custom (at the most bottom of the list)
Then I type X.. which makes it go to XDCAM (not behind my computer, so it’s a bit of a guess)… this skippes 95 % of the list

Hey Jaap…

Then you might as well stay inside FCP – Just turn the XDCAM sequence into an uncompressed 10bits sequence (choose the preset in the sequence settings) and go File > Export Quicktime Movie (selfcontained of course).

Okay… this is what I always do in this situation… But trying to figure out the “recompress all frames” feature.

I always use Recompress All Frames when I’m exporting a sequence to another codec then the sequence codec
But in this situation you change the sequence settings to another codec and then render the sequence. Do you use recompress all frames in this situation, or is it better not to.
And what happens if you didn’t render the timeline after changing the codec to uncompressed 10Bit.
Then I would assume you need to use Recompress All Frames …

Still a bit confusing to me … would love to clear this up

Thanks Jaap for taking some time

thnx for the comments

So through compressor for the downconvert from HD to SD

But what in the case of the XDCAM timeline (which stays in SD)???
What is there the best method to go to Uncompressed 10Bit

You could also try exporting from FCP as Photo JPEG (75% or 90%)
And upload that to youtube (max 1GB)

Thx Andreas

Very cool… Just had a second computer hooked up to the other one through Ethernet for doing such renderering purposes… Now this is even handier…

Really great… saves a lot of time when you have massive rendering to do

Here is the link on downloading other Pro Apps Updates

https://support.apple.com/downloads/Pro_Apps_Updates_2008_001_004

you could try Pacifist application to open the installer and get the installer for only FCP 6.0.5

https://www.charlessoft.com/

Pacifist 2.5.2 is a shareware application that opens Mac OS X .pkg package files, .dmg disk images, and .zip, .tar, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, and .xar file archives and allows you to extract individual files and folders out of them. This is useful, for instance, if an application which is installed by the operating system becomes damaged and needs to be reinstalled without the hassle of reinstalling all of Mac OS X. Pacifist is also able to verify existing installations and find missing or altered files*, and Pacifist can also examine the kernel extensions installed in your system to let you see what installer installed them, and whether the installer was made by Apple or a third-party.

Good Luck
