would Sony have something for transcoding it perhaps? Catalyst Browse?
Also Resolve may do the trick.

Thanks, Michael,
[Michael Gissing] “Was the aspect mask trick in Resolve I suggested for this film?”
no, sorry, it’s for an upcoming film called Undertow.
It’s going to screen at Melbourne Film Fest, then we’ll see what happens.

cheers,

I cut the film “Sweet Country” that screened at Sundance about a week ago!
cut it on FCP7, which still works for me ☺

turning progressive footage into interlaced requires creating new material,
like making a shot slow-motion requires creating new frames in between the original ones

I’m pretty sure Graeme Nattress had a re-interlace filter for FCP7
there may be better tools available now.

they do this when they find old film-recordings of Doctor Who, say, and want to make them look like the original video recordings.

i wonder if one of the blackmagic terranex converters could do what you want?

[Michael Gissing] “Maybe that’s just an Australian sensibility where we use words like buggered to mean lots of different things”

and then abbreviate them !

most of it is on Shut Up
some is on RUCKPACK_JOB_SPEC_BACKUP_01

turns out this is standard behaviour…

CCC doesn’t create a recovery drive when cloning,
it creates an ARCHIVE of it,
which has to be un-archived after the clone.

this is done from CCC again, but can’t be done from the cloned drive,
you need to boot from another drive.
so keeping my original until that’d been done would have been the thing to do.

i wound up starting my laptop (with the new SSD) as a dumb drive, and hooked it up to my iMac,
and CCC on that machine could do the job

so my laptop now has a nice new SSD drive WITH a recovery drive ☺

[Roger Poole] “try changing the name of the SSD to the name of the previous disk”

thanks Roger, i will try that first

[Shane Ross] “What did you use to Clone? Carbon Copy Cloner, newer ones at least, make sure the recovery partition is cloned as well.”

thanks, Shane, yes i did use CCC. maybe a skipped a step?

[Warren Eig] “Here’s a trick. Install the OS on the SSD from scratch. It will create the recovery partition. Now clone your original drive to the SSD. If you use SuperDuper! you can do a smart clone and it will only update the needed files to make a clone. Voila! you have the recovery partition.
“

that does make sense.
as i mentioned, i wiped the original drive, but i can clone back to it or another drive, and start from scratch on the SSD

thanks, folks

that’s a pity.
so many things about FCPX sound great,
it’s a shame good features have been lost.

I’ve got a question.

in FCP classic you had the ability to assign up to 9 saved “motion paths” to keyboard shortcuts.
which means that you can select a clip or range of clips, hit a key combo, and BAM! your new desired framing is applied

is there something similar in FCPX?
