I figured it out. The Command Palette was still open, which from what I can tell disabled the functionality of those buttons in the timeline. I closed it and they work now. Thanks for taking the time to write back.

All the best,

December 15, 2014 at 8:50 pm in reply to: Sony F5 import problems into FCP 7

Hi Shane,

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. So to keep using FCP 7, could I use Adobe Media Encoder to transcode the files to ProRes? If so, do I need to transcode everything in ProRes (Regular), save all that footage for online, then transcode that to Proxy to edit with?

Or can I just trancode to proxy first, then when my picture is locked, upres to ProRes (Regular) through media manager? In other words, is there a way to figure out what clips were used in my final picture locked sequence to only transcode those to ProRes instead of all the raw footage?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Pete

Thanks guys. Basically do you think I could get away with not having that extra nvidia graphics card? I was thinking of tricking out a 13 inch with 16 gigs ram and the 2.6 i7 and save over 500 bucks.

No you are making sense. Thanks Charlie. Just seemed easier with 7 I guess. I appreciate it.

OK this is helpful. I’m still a little confused though about it. I Keep my projects at a minimum and often will turn work in a project into a compound clip and blow away the project. I do this because I found that X gets laggy if I have several projects in the library. So a lot of my projects or sequences (wordage from 7) are now compound clips. So how do I transfer those over? Also I added media to my road library. How does that transfer over? I have been told it isn’t wise to show package contents and start pulling files out of the road library file structure to my home library.

It just seemed simpler in 7. You open up a project that was essentially a skeleton map that pointed to media. You open it up and reconnect to media where ever it was. Am I thinking about this correctly? Thanks for helping me along the way.

Hi Jeremy,

I thought about that but it has a pretty fast processor i7 2.6 with 16 gigs of ram. Also, I opened another library for another project I am working on and the footage plays flawlessly. I can move clips around make cuts instantly. So now I’m thinking it might have something to do with the clips in the project I am having trouble with. Or it might not. I just don’t know at this point.

Thanks John,

I’ll try the app. And yes the other project is on the same hard drive. The one that lags is pretty basic. Some music, a primary storyline and some broll on top of it.

People say that you shouldn’t have too many projects in the library. I also have some titles that I made into compound clips. Could that be it?

Also,

I just opened another library with another piece I am working on. That library works flawlessly. No lag.

What gives? I am always on the verge of ditching this NLE forever, then it has some feature that I really like, then stuff like this happens.
