Figured out a solution… A bizarre solution. I loaded the clips into quicktime 7 pro — simply resaved them from there, Command-S, dragged them back into final cut, and voila it reads the proper lengths and full clips now.

There’s a program called particle illusion that you may be interested in… or a plugin called Particular for after effects..

Thanks. Doing so now. 2hrs to render it all. will see if it works.

Hmm, I fixed it. I’m not sure why this occurs but if you click in the area near a2, you can select “reset panel”, and this popped a1 right back up… I’m not sure where it was hiding.

Thanks!

[Max Carlson]

Yup! that was the issue. it works now! thanks

[Max Carlson]

Found that there was already a thread on this!!! I think the fix will work. Sorry

[Max Carlson]

Found the answer!… raised my still frame cache level.. Also I’m switching to DH subtitle.

thanks,

I’m pretty sure you’re not understanding what I want to do… Hmm… Are you familiar with the function “audio mixdown” within the AVID. It seems that audio mixdown in the avid is different then final cuts audio mixdown…

Anyone know the equivalent to the “audio mixdown” function within the avid?

Okay.. the things is I don’t want to Render All. I just want a single sound effect that I’ve put dissolves in — which is only 2 channels, within a timeline of 16channels… I want that specific part, with my in & out set – to be rendered down to another file.. not the entire sequence

Also looks like the camera only records at 30fps… That seems really outdated to me.. I mean you’d actually be able to get better performance recording at 24fps because it’s less frames that would have to be written… plus it would look & feel a lot better (for those of us who still like the look of film)
