Hi Llewelyn,

I think you absolutely hit the nail on the head – as the project is bigger than I’ve seen before for a 90 minute film (over 500MB).

Thank you for the quick answer and be amazing,
Olga

Hi Nick,

Thanx for the info. What exactly do you mean by “then cut them back into the timeline on a set of new, and invisible tracks above all my other clips”? Particularly the invisible tracks. Does that mean that you turn off the track in the timeline or that the opacity of the clips is turned to 0?

“thinking about your weird shots:
some of your master clips in the browser may have speed effects on them, even if teh timeline versions don’t.
that could be the problem.
(this is just a wild-ass-guess.)”

I thought that too but when I checked all the shots this is not the case. As a matter of fact when the shots with the speed modifications (only a few of the shots had speed modifications- the rest did not at all) are opened in the collected project they do not retain their effects even in the motion tab and a couple of them even are a couple of frames shorter.

If you hear or think of any other explanation I’ll be glad to hear it.

Thanx again,

Hi Russ,

Thanx for the tip. The funny thing is that only a few of the clips had speed changes while the others did not – that’s what freaks me out about the whole thing because it seems that something deeper is happening to the clips when media manager gets a hold of them.

I have been told that when you export as quicktime and re-import into FCP you compress the video so you are not getting the same resolution as you started. This is a very big problem. Do you know if this is the case?

I am having the same problem as Mike but do not have any rendering at all on my clips. At least not yet. I’ve followed the instructions in FCP Pro manual on optimizing the system for multiclip but still the three angles I want to use do not play simultaneouly. Could it be a problem with using HDV Cam? I’m also running a blackmagic card within FCP Pro. The footage was shot with freerunning timecode and yet it does not sync. How is that possible?

I need help desperately as the project needs to be finished ASAP for broadcast.

PLEASE HELP!!!
