    Ok I could be wrong but I dont think your maths quite works,

    If the original speed was 24 and you slowed by 10% then your frame rate was 24fps – 2.4fps = 21.6 fps

    However if you speed up 21.6 by 10% you get

    21.6fps + 2.16fps = 23.76 fps

    I think you need to speed up by 11.111111% to get back to 24fps.

    Then again my maths is rubbish too but seems to add up ??

    Minimum spec is Intel Mac with 10.5.6 and Quicktime 7.6 or later so as long as your Leopard version meets that should be OK

    November 27, 2011 at 8:41 pm in reply to: Voice over “mono” to “stereo”

    I am assuming you are working with a simple 2 track output set up.
    If you look at a pair of stereo tracks you will see one is panned left and one right.
    So as long as your single mono VO track is panned to the centre it will come out of both left and right of your stereo track despite only physically being on one track. It does not matter which track it is on the panning controls the output.

    Does that help ?

  • Hi

    The camera plist file that you are looking for is in the library rather than the user library.

    Obviously you need to have the Canon plug in loaded first before you can modify it.

    So just go to your Macintosh HD and open the library folder.
    You then need to navigate to
    /Library/Application Support/ProApps/MIO/RAD/Plugins/CanonE1.RADPlug/Contents/Resources

    Should be there.

    Check out Sapphire 6 there is a fully working trial download – I think it lasts for 2 weeks or so.

    https://info.genarts.com/Sapphire-Visual-Effects-Plugins-Trial-Overview.html?Source=Website/Organic

    The new version offers a hugely customisable lens flare – with a new comprehensive editor specifically for customising lens flare effects.

    Hi Job

    Yes I have worked with a control surface in the dim and distant past on Avid – think it was on something like a Yamaha 01V via midi but cant quite remember the exact set-up. It was a good while ago.

    I have a Mackie Universal that I use with FCP and I know that is supported under ProTools as it will run in HUI mode. I have not tried a control surface with Avid for years so I am a bit out of touch with what is now supported. As far as I know Avid cant use anything other than Eucon protocol is that the case ? If so then the Mackie wont interface.

    Hi Andy

    That is an option and I do sometimes do that but often I dont always want to work in automation gain mode.

    You can also use loop play as another method of doing this so the ability is there.

    The fact I am adjusting the level means I want to hear it so I can’t think of a logical reason for the timeline stopping in the first place other than perhaps it was a limitation of earlier hardware.

    Imagine what a Protools mixer would say if the timeline stopped every time they made an adjustment – it would be a non starter.

    November 26, 2011 at 6:53 pm in reply to: Black to white over a very long duration (7-8hours)!

    I thought this was an interesting question so I just tried to make it and its pretty simple and works.

    There may be other ways but here is what I did.

    Created a sequence in my desired format, which was Standard def 16×9 prores.

    Added a clip of white solid colour a few times until I had a couple of mins.
    Then cut and paste that couple of mins again and again in the timeline until I had 9 hours.

    Then selected all the clips and nested them to make a single clip.

    Added a cross dissolve at the front and dragged it out to the full 9 hours.

    Thought there might be a limit to the dissolve length but nope you can make it as long as you like.

    Have to say I didnt watch it all in real time but it worked.

    Have to say I agree with Charly – I find Avid’s lack of ability to do anything while playing the timeline quite annoying.

    In addition to being able to move and scale the timeline while playing I would love to see them make it possible to use the audio mix tool while playing.

    It is so much quicker in FCP to correct audio levels on the fly rather than the timeline stopping every time you adjust anything.

    I was quite disappointed to see this still hadn’t been implemented in MC 6

    I hope they can modify that in future releases.
