    most likely Title Exchange Pro from Sherico Filmtools is the answer

    it would convert it to an XML you can import into FCP

    “I occasionally shoot in HDV and everytime I capture footage it always breaks the capture into dozens of small clips where I stopped and started the recording instead of just using my in/out points. How do I override this?”

    yes, you CAN override this.
    there is check box in one of the Log & Capture tabs,
    the main one, i think.

    dropped frames:
    definitely keep that checked
    you need to fix that problem rather than ignore it

    oh, yeah.. the de-interlacing.

    you can do that in FCP very well with Nattress Smart De-Interlace
    of course you wont be able to see what you are doing with it!
    i tend to keep tolerance very low between minimum (2) and 10
    blending off, or zero.

    “1. First I tried to do the CC in FCP7 and the result was very bad – the exported DVD was nothing like the first look I got in viewer after 3-way CC filter. ”

    it helps if you monitor your grading work on a calibrated external monitor,
    not just on the computer screen.

  • n FCP if you want to work in a true Multiclip fashion with stop/start shooting threr are 2 options.

    1.
    export each track to a new file,
    import those files and multiclip.

    big problem is you lose track of your original TC.
    its not impossible to trace it back, but if you are in an off-line on-line situation m then this is really not good for you.
    OK if you are working at full res, though.

    2.
    line up all your clips as you have,
    go though your timeline, creating a new multiclip each time you have a new clip appear on the timeline.
    so you have lots of smaller multiclips.

    March 10, 2013 at 11:32 pm in reply to: make slow mo with footage look like regular speed

    200% for the 48fps
    300% for the 72fps

    this will give a playback speed of 24fps. close enough to 23.976.

    when you make the speed changes, turn off frame blending.

    i wouldn’t be too surprised if some of your stuttering is due to playing Prores4444 clips with effects.

    March 10, 2013 at 11:25 pm in reply to: Rendering changes/slips the shots in my sequence

    how were the clips captured?

    i had a situation once when my DVCProHD, which had been “capture-now” from a telecine chain.
    there was a corruption in the TC track.
    Vision would slip a few frames on EXPORT (not render)

    out solution was to batch export the clips as QT movies, same settings.
    we may have had to fine tune the TC in Modify TC window.
    we had a TC burn in on the colour chart to check against.

    read up on using the Wireframe, and the Motion Tab in FCP.

    there is also a plugin from Digital Heaven called DH-Box that could help.

    sounds like the problem might be in your source file.
    how did you generate it?
    is it self contained?
    or ar you making the m2v from your FCP timeline?

    March 9, 2013 at 5:14 am in reply to: FCP-7 Viewer/Canvas Format

    “How do I adjust the render setting so that the small changes I make don’t result in a “red” un-rendered bar?”

    RT settings need to be set to “unlimited” rather than “Safe”
    i cant rembere if that’s in FCP USer Prefs (option Q) or FCP System Settings (Shift Q)

    reason i cant remember is i always set it the simple way: the RT menu top left of timeline.

    “all of my video was displayed anamorphic in the viewer and compressed to Apple Pro Res 422. After the re-install, most of it is 4:3 letterbox”

    what, in the Viewer?
    that’s near on impossible
    or do you mean once you have edited into a timeline?
    in which case you sequence settings do not match your footage.

    go to FCP A/V settings (option apple Q) and chose an appropriate sequence settings.
    you have to put a tick next to it, not just have elected in blue
