oops – were mac…

we had this too awhile back on our decklink extreme, but it has since dissapeared…
are you up to date on all software (osx, fcp, qt etc.?) -
if it’s a very complex edit, I usually just recapture it all. usually faster than trying to find and fix all the problems. mostly commercials and music videos though, so not a huge amount of footage…
-
they “broke” this apparently because there were so many problems with media manager if there are speed changes, scaling clips etc. when you recapture everything it works ok.
search the fcp forums about this – there are a zillion posts
media manager has always sucked on fcp, and some say it needs arebuild from the ground up to fix it… -

we’ve had problems with 8 bit sequence exports to Squeeze 4.1 that we do not see when we use 10 bit

ask apple?!?! I guess you probably have a different relationship with them that that of an average user like me.
If a Joe like me calls, you get some kid asking if you tried restarting the computer. when you finally get to someone who
actually knows what they’re talking about, they just blame it on the third party products. If it boots up and you can get
on the internet, that’s enough for them to claim it’s working perfectly.after all we have Apple hardware and software, ATTO hardware and software, Medea, BMD etc all in the mix.
But yes, as I have stated over and over again we have 2 identical sysytems and one nearly identical just a dual 2.5 insted of dual 2.0 The problem one is one of the dual 2.0 – this has come and gone over many versions of operating systems etc. (we always upgrade everything as soon as one test system shows stability)
THE ONLY CONSISTENT THING IN THIS MESS IS: SETTING EFFECT HANDLING TO BMD ALWAYS ELIMINATES THE PROBLEM.
honestly I’m sick to death of trouble shooting this an am just going to build a replacement system around a multibridge extreme when it ships sometime mid 2008

i was just suggesting the bmd effect handling as a test to see if it affects the problem.
as I have mentioned in untold number of post regarding this, one of our systems has video tearing playback problems if set to fcp effect handling in ntsc 10 bit. we have just resigned ourselves to leaving it on bmd effect handling after WAY too many hours trouble shooting the problem. at least we can cut on it. -
try setting “effect handling” in fcp system settings to blackmagick instead of fcp.
we have a similar problem on one of our systems that still has not been resolved.
we have a decklink extreme – ntsc 10 bit – mac
