I don’t know why I didn’t think of that, and I feel ashamed of myself.
It definitely beats exporting manually.

Well… I fixed it. It took a complete uninstall/reinstall of Aja software, AND trashing AE preference files.
I guess we’ll never find out what the problem was. 🙂 -
I should have mentioned the video settings, of course. It’s DV-NTSC Quicktime at 29.97. That’s what the AJA settings are set to (525i29.97), and AE’s video playback settings as well. I also tried starting new comps and generating playback for a new color solid, for instance — to no avail.

Got it. Thanks again!

Why not? Because I was completely oblivious of that option. 🙂 That certainly solves the prbolem.
Thanks, Dan!
Out of curiosity — what would the expression be, and which parameter would it be affecting? -
Thanks for the info, Russ. Will look into XL H1’s pulldown particularities.
I should add here that, so far, I have been unable to capture the footage I’ve shot, period. FCP freaks out, and is unable to find the deck (which happens to be my camera.)
I tried trashing the FCP settings and restarting everything; switching the codec/capture format (from Apple Intermediate to ProRes), HDV firewire and simple firewire (the one I’m using is a 4 to 6 pin) — same result.
Any ideas why this could be happening? -
Hi Russ,
It’s for a web video, hence the progressive requirement. We’re shooting with a Canon XL H1 at 1920X1080i, at 24 fps. -
Richard,
Storage is not really an issue. The shot I’m concerned about is rather brief (the whole film is under a minute, in fact). The tricky part is that it’s handheld, half the room is green, and I’m going to need to matchmove a bunch of objects. Hence my intention to keep as much of the data as possible, both resolution and color sampling-wise.
I do have an Aja IoHD, as it happens, but in my experience, ProRes has been somewhat lossy. No horribly lossy, but noticeably so, and I really don’t know if I want to deal with compositing and matchmoving something that went through ProRes conversion.
Sounds like 2K is the way to go, unless someone here (or on FCP forum, thanks for that referral) will explicitly warn me about processing 2k on a Mac Book Pro.
Thanks again! -
1080p HD. Will look into it. Thanks, Todd!
