Thanks John. It’s for FCP 7. I’m having major problems with video running on the viewer, and when trying to hook up a second display for preview purposes. Unrendered video (QT Prores LT) – which shows green in the video render status bar on the timeline – simply does not run, and stays on still image, whilst audio plays. Likewise when second display added that freezes too. Might this be an indication that the current GPU is failing?
The 2009 Mac Pro has 8GB of RAM.

I own the MacBook Pro. Just wondering if I can get away with using it for this one edit job (with my large external display), rather than investing in a 3/4 year old MacPro.
The job does have some very chunky ProRes HQ video files – from a three-camera record of a music performance, but I have 400GB HDD on the MacBook and gig external drives. -
MacBook Pro has Intel i5 2.53GHz processor with 8GB of RAM.. I edit rarely, just need to cut one job (3 camera live performance DVD). Wondering if i can get away with doing post on MacBook rather than investing in MacPro. Mobility not an issue. Will link MacBook to large display.

Many many thanks Gareth. I have been doing a test today exporting an image sequence in FCS, then fixing each frame in Photoshop and importing back. It worked out roughly at one hour per second of fixed video. I’m hoping once I’m through the Motion procedure learning curve, then the fixes ahead will become much quicker.

Here you go.

Sure.

Thanks Gareth. That would be much appreciated.

Many thanks. Not knowing Motion perhaps I need to find an appropriate post facility to handle this (?), or is it easy enough to pick up? (I’m reasonably proficient in Final Cut and Photoshop.)

Very interested to hear more on this topic Mark – if there is any. My problem is that the frame is constantly moving, meaning a (seemingly) infinite number changing colours-luminances etc (though the spot at least stays in the same place in the frame itself. I guess with the Photoshop solution using batches – thse have to be completed batch by batch – where the image behind the spot in question is constant enough for the clone tool to be consistently repairing it properly. Of course once the background changes, the clone tool would be cloning inappropriately. Any more thoughts gratefully appreciated. This is for an indie broadcast documentary for broadcast.
