Don’t apologise!

Essentially, you need to export the whole timeline and create a self-contained .mov file, which should be exported with the correct codec settings for HDV.

This is then put on a new timeline with the correct HDV settings for your camera, and then exported to tape.

It essentially bypasses some of the glitching that can occur with mixed formats on a timeline and exporting to a HDV device.

I guess this is a blank then.

Time to get the intern to resync the audio in the 15min film…

Will keep trying and if I work it out will pop a post back here.

Hi Walter –

that’s exactly what we’re doing, we’re using the project timecodes to recapture in the footage in FCP. No native capture files are being reused.

The footage captures in with the correct in and out points, the actual capture file has captured with audio, but the timeline in FCP is completely devoid of any sync audio. There are not even any placeholders for where the audio files should be.

Whilst I can then use the video in and out points to go back to the captured clip, set these in and out point and then put the audio sync onto the timeline, this will be a tedious process!

Any thoughts?

Many thanks

phil

Thanks for this – very useful when you are sent specific output settings to conform to – we don’t always have the choice of the best output settings ourselves!

Just a small correction for OS X users, I found the file in :

MacintoshHD > Users > (your user name) > Library > Application Support > Compressor

…just a quick update that may indicate I’ve now solved the problem.

Re-exported the files, still with the same settings, but this time checked the box that says “recompress all frames”

So far, everything has run off onto tape ok now with no glitches.

(reason for doing this is a secondary backup – to have both data files at proRes quality on disc but a backup copy on tape)

Anyone have any ideas on the above questions?!

I’m facing a similar problem – have a number of edits on FCP (ver 6.05) that I have created a contained QT file, rendered out at the standard HDV settings, 1080 50i (I’m in PAL land).

AV settings appear correct, match up to the sequence and QT file settings. Using a Sony HVR m25. One clip played out perfectly, the others despite being exactly the same settings have intermittent glitches on them.

There are no other programs running, I have disabled “mirror on desktop”, rebooted everything, reconnected everything. I’m running a 2.66 quadcore xeon with 6GB of memory, and the files are coming from a fast ProAvio drive.

Hair loss imminent…
