It’s been a while since I heard that one so thanks for the share!
Sad but so true. Kinda makes me cringe thinking of some notes I’ve gotten back. Ouch….

Interesting that you’d see the Aja options ‘inside’ Color and then have them grey’ed out.
You’d think they wouldn’t be there at all if it weren’t going to be an option {at some point}. Maybe driver update down-the-road? Maybe wishful thinking?
To be honest, none of my take-home projects are HD… yet. AND I need the 4 channels of audio from my IoLA. I’d love to hear that there is indeed going to be Io support for Color. I’d also love to hear that I won the lottery but 1 out of 2 ain’t bad.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed as well. This was one of my bigger concerns {making sure Color would work w/ Aja IO}.
Different application but Shake does not ‘talk’ to my Aja IoLA and, last time I checked, there were no plans of updating drivers or anything because the new Final Cut was coming out (w/ Color obviously).
Can’t they all just get along? Pllleeeassseee…..

Rob:
MASTER PEDESTAL runs from -15 to +15.
SETUP is either 0 or 7.5.
This thread is dead.
Just don’t attack someone when you don’t even know what you’re talking about.

Nothing quite like jumping in late on a thread and then lambasting someone for being a “typical film student who has no idea about NTSC standards or engineering setups”.
Sorry, Rob, but you asked for it…. You may “LOVE” the camera but you may not be very familiar with it. Like – at ALL. If you were, you’d realize there is no way to select a 7.5 for MASTER PEDESTAL.
I think you are referring to SETUP (in general) which is 7.5 IRE for NTSC.
MASTER PEDESTAL on a DVX runs from -15 up to +15 and controls how black is handled and, by nature, the contrast of the image without manipulating the highlights. It is a setting easily tweaked in the SCENE FILE settings. The increments are whole numbers not decimals, fractions or any other possible numerical configuration.

We use Non-Drop for ALL camera acquisition and any outside audio vendors prefer their files that way. We don’t get to Drop Frame until we builc / conform the broadcast master to get to air time.

Ditto to the others here….
I was equally confused by this setting and left it alone. That is until I shot BetaSP for a client and the rest of their footage was shot on DV. I was able to capture with the DV setting and gave them selects of the footage (as DV) on a few DVD’s. Worked great!

Ditto to Lecherro:
I agree that foot-tapping can definitely help with timing. Sometimes, you gotta close your eyes too. Sounds silly but no amount of finessing visuals on top will take away what you ears hear underneath.
I also like grinner’s mention of hiding it under something else. Even if you don’t have V.O., you can use lots of nat sounda to hide music cuts. Door slams, door closes, crowd ambience, explosions, swish F?X, you name it.

I don’t know why anyone would suggest going with a +15 master pedestal.
I also don’t know you would ever go into a shooting situation knowing that it will all need to be ‘tweaked’ later.
Maybe they know something I don’t but I’ve been happy with the range you described (-5 -> -8). I’d say stick to your guns and not go +15. If they have some divine plan, ask to see their results (and logic) and do some tests.
The only time I’ve ever seen a + setting (for Master Pedestal was) +7 for a ’70’s Retro Scene File. Good Luck!

Hard to teach a good ear on a message board but if you can’t find the drum beat on the fly, turn on waveform audio data in the timeline and trim that way.
So, play the track until you want it to loop again and add-edit or set an in. Cut in the top or trim back to the start of where you want to begin the loop. Match up a snare, bass hit, guitar chord, whatever and trim them to sync up in the timeline. Massage until it’s seamless. Fudge it with a short dissolve if you have to. Match frame from the head and you have your in-point. Option-match-frame from the tail and you have your out point. You could subclip that bit, drop it in the music bin and you’ve got your loop.
Having just read that, I don’t know if it helps or not. Definitely need audio-visual aids for looping.
