Thank you Greg for your help.

Yes, I have check permissions on the drive/folders I save my projects to and it’s already set to Read/Write. The Error message indicated it’s the Creative Cloud Files so I checked that as well and it’s set to read/write.

I’m further confused by the fact that the Error occurs randomly, has worked the past few months when I began this project. When I shut down it works with without error many hours/days/weeks, then randomly appears. If I shut down/restart it works then randomly occurs and without me making any permissions changes.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for responding I was beginning to think this Forum was not able to help in my lil problem. I did not try to Import into new project, I’ll keep that in mind for future problem solving.

I fixed this problem by Uninstalling PPro, Installing same version PPro, Dumping Cache and have been editing 2 days error free.

Another problem I’m having with Auto Save. Auto Save works till I get this error after editing/Auto Saving for hours. The only fix I can find is to shut down, restart, then continuing to edit then the problem reoccurs a few hours, days or even weeks. What’s going on with Adobe Cloud to cause this? see error message below.

Thank you.

I couldn’t of asked for more qualified answers, thank you.

Yes, I’ll test, I’m concerned I won’t have time for a thorough test. This project is single camera short-form while future projects are long-form whereas I shoot multi-cam motorsports events resulting in 60-75 hours footage to be edited in to 5 15-minute segments. I agree with Davids quick test procedure, should I expect PPro on this laptop to bog down depending on amount of footage, length of timeline, layers of videos, etc?

Peter, let me know what you discover. I’ve searched the web and so far can not find a XVAC file to test with. I’ll shoot either XAVC QFHD (3840 x 2160) @29.97p or 23.98p 100Mbps/60Mbps. Can you tell me which frame rate plays nice with Pro.

I’m also considering a workflow that includes shooting HD 1920×1080 and XVAC 4K editing both in PPro project HD 1929×1080. Shooting XVAC 4K for interviews and product shots to save production time and enable editor to punch in or create moves with motion and key framing.

Any thoughts?

AVID, FCP, FCPX, ADOBE, RESOLVE, Magnifying glass, develop solution and razor blade – whatever, I just want to edit.

Whichever tool l I choose I want it to work as advertised and I don’t want my projects to be the testing ground.

Yep, the fluid helped with manual edits. I also remember when the speed of a credit roll depended on how fast you cranked the handle on the graphics drum. White rub down letters on black cardboard mounted on a round drum with a black & white camera with reverse polarity to change key from white or black.

I have everything under control now. After getting my Sync Gen set up properly, the damned dip switch diagram is not exactly easy to read and was set up exactly opposite of correctness. Then getting VTR output 23.98 PsF to match Matrox/FCP Capture settings 23.98 PsF everything is working, or at least I think it is. I’ll start capture tomorrow.

I just noticed that when I go into capture mode the HDCAM deck SDI flashes and the Stop button does not. Perhaps its a HDCAM deck SDI settings thing.

I’ve noticed the HDCAM deck allows for 23.98PsF only, while FCP/Matrox settings only allow Matrox Apple ProRes 1080P 23.98, I assume this is all good, right?

Yes, the first thing I looked for was switch, like the one on my ol’ BVW70. I’ll admit I don’t have much experience with HDCAM decks although I’ve been setting up decks since 1974, 1inch B&W, the first Sony 3/4″, Quad, 1inch, M2, Beta, D-2, Digi Beta. I’m not an engineer but I understand more than just the basics.

I managed to get Matrox and the HDCAM to recognize BlackMagic Sync Gen, HD Monitor displays good signal, HDCAM deck stop light and SDI Menu setting does not flash and thought problem solved.

Now when I launch FCP Capture Window it displays as if it’s not Sync Ref, picture squeezed and display in top half screen with bottom half glitchy black/green.

Sometimes I miss editing tape with a magnifying glass and razor blade.

BTW, my profile say Maverick, I’m on another patrician with the specs I gave in my post. I do not have any FW drives hooked up and I’ve unplugged my Matrox as I trouble shoot problem.

Yes and Yes, same frame rate 1920 X 1080 59.97 and same DFTC, kinda surprised the GoPro in FCP 7 report DFTC.

I use to do off set calculations in my head back in the day but some of these just become a mind binder.

I’m finding it pretty easy to just look at last clip end TC, look at next clip start TC, calculate the diff and skoot down the timeline that amount.

Thanks, I’ll check out the apps and hope they allow for off set calculation.

I can’t afford Episode and I’ve tried a few $39 – $200 including ProxyMill but ran in to problems working with FCP 7 in 10.6.8, strange problems that make the developer scratch his head.

I’m a week behind and need a good solid solution that will include timecode, import properly in to FCP 7 on 10.6.8, may upgrade osx to 10.8.6 as recommended by those still using FCP 7.
