I’m not really that interested in all the off-lining/on-lining features of MM, I’m more interested in trimming off the fat of a project before I archive it. Is there an easy way to do this outside of MM?

We have the same problem. It’s been driving us buggy for a while now – happens on all three of our systems. The editor across the hall told me that he would add a slug to the top track – then change the transparency to 0%. He said it worked for him – it didn’t seem to work for me though. Best results I’ve gotten are to export as a current settings quicktime, bring it back in to its own timeline, do an audio mixdown, print to tape and hold your breath. I’m still searching for the “cure”, however… We did a complete reinstall of everything from the ground up on my system – I haven’t seen the problem come back yet but I really haven’t put it to the test yet either…

Ah, I thought so. Thanks!

[Arniepix] “There is certainly a difference between RGB an any YPbPr color space. I think I heard someplace (AJA tech support, perhaps?) that there should be a noticeable gamma shift between the SMPTE and Betacam versions of YPbPr, as well.”
Ok… we’re still working on this (slowly – in the midst of working on everything else that has to go on as normal). Quick question: does the playback setting (beta vs. SMPTE) affect the way a quicktime is rendered out? It shouldn’t right? I should only affect viewed playback of said file. The further into this thing we go the more confused we get…

Apparently what’s happening is we’re trying to figure this thing out with part fact and part assumption – not a good idea. I’m not sure anymore what the external scopes are saying – I thought they were reading differently but apparently nobody’s actually checked them yet?? I’ll get back to you… (This may all boil down to someone’s subjective eye – or a difference in the actual monitors – I don’t know.)

It’s black level. The same spot on the timeline seems to measure the same with the internal FCP scopes…

We shut ‘er down and did the reinstall – so far it looks as if everything went well…

Good! Thanks. I just get a bit paranoid when it comes to massive amounts of data…
