Ahh, so simple. Thank you so much!

A slightly faster way than right clicking each edit and using the contextual menu would be to select each edit point and simply hit “delete.”

[Nathan Lehner] “I’m just surprised that HDV looks better than prores 422!?”
It doesn’t. ProRes is far superior to HDV. After your footage has been compressed to HDV, converting to ProRes 422 won’t make it look any better, but it certainly won’t make it any worse (well, you’d be hard pressed to actually see a difference).

[Donal O Kane] “used quad core mac pro (or 8-core if you can get a good price but these are the top dogs for now and until 12-cores arrive) or quad core G5 with PCI-e”
Personally, I’d recommend against a G5. Stick with the Mac Pros since they have Intel chips, which a lot of the newer software requires.

Once you’ve completed your edit, collapse the multiclip and the green render bar should disappear.

[Ignatius Gorin] ”
Maybe I could just upgrade the NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT to a newer video card?”Motion and Color would definitely benefit from that.

[Eve Myhill] “The photo is strobing like a zebra at a disco how can i fix this?”
Make sure it’s deinterlaced and try the flicker filter.

[Nathan Lehner] “It certainly looks better when I log and transfer in native HDV but takes up so much space.”
ProRes HQ would take up a lot more space than HDV would.
But I definitely concur with everyone else about doing the slowmo in Motion. Optical flow will make your slowmos look great!

[Michael Gissing] “my prognosis is that the OMF is solid and the reference video may be the culprit.”
That could be the case. If so, then Logic is the culprit. Most recently, I’ve exported OMFs from FCP and imported them to Logic. I then exported an aiff from Logic and brought it back into FCP. With doing nothing more then exporting, importing and exporting again, some parts were out of sync. The out of sync portions were always where a cut had been made and they were completely inconsistent in the amount of discrepancy. Some were ahead and some were behind and off by different amounts. I wish I knew what the problem was, but it’s been consistently inconsistent with the last 3 projects that required OMF exports.

I have encountered the same problem and haven’t found a solution yet. I’ve never had OMFs from FCP work properly. I’ve had sync issues and automation randomly missing from time to time.
