Understood, thanks for the tips. Luckily, Final Cut Server knows when a clip is a reference file so that is at least one good thing about this.

thanks

nope, I let it run for almost 20 minutes without a dropped frame before I had to stop the capture, so I know that there is not a problem with the scratch disks or the computer itself, at least in this case.

July 23, 2007 at 9:05 pm in reply to: FCP 6 loosing render files

Hi Wayne,

I have been seeing weird behavior where my renders go away on Smoothcam clips. Do you have much smoothcam applied in the sequence. Do you see any correlation between that and your renders going away? Also for me, it seems like only pieces of my seqeunces become unrendered instead fo the whole sequence.

Thanks J,

One more question. Is closed captioning necessary for broadcast in the UK? I can find some BBC guidelines on the web, and they don’t mention closed captioning but I know the major music video stations in the US want it.

thanks again,

What is the format you are using exactly?

k so this confused me also. But the statement mentions “encoding” not “capturing” for G5. I went back to the apple support page to find the article about ProRes capture on Intel and found that they updated it for Quad G5s. However there is no mention of any other G5 supported for capture, so we can only assume that any other G5 won’t work. Check it out here: https://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305582

Its weird to use the word “encoding” tho, what does that mean? Render to ProRes? Export to ProRes?

So LasVideo,

Were your DVNTSC and DVCPROHD sequences set to 10bit render? Is that how you normally work, because I think they are set to 8bit render by default.

Are you guys working with 10bit sequences? I’ve been working with new and old motion projects in 8bit sequences rendering at 8bit quality and the render times have not really changed. Try changing your render quality to 8bit and see if that helps. I know it takes you down in quality but is a way to figure out what is going on.

June 15, 2007 at 9:51 pm in reply to: Reconnect Problems

I don’t think you should use “/” and “\” in your file names. I might need backup from the gurus here, but that would probably screw up most file management. Hate it say it, but you should probably swap those characters for underscores or something similar. Or you could limp along with your present situation and reconnect every file every time you share you timeline.

sorry

Hi Jeff,

When I’ve worked in this situation before we have cloned each media drive. When I say cloned, I mean that each media drive had exactly the same name and file hierarchy as the original drive. This makes FCP’s reconnect think that nothing has changed and no reconnect is required.

When you say that all of your media is copied on all the drives, do you know if its the same folder structure? I think FCP gets all confused if the folder structure isn’t the same on every drive and you get into that problem where you have to reconnect every clip.

hope this helps,
yo
