Hey Mylenium.
This is great!
I have only played around with it a bit, but it

Thanks, Rutger.
This was helpful, as I have not really used expressions before and it’s great to start.
However, the range is very limited when scaling the object using the Audio Amplitude. I guess it

Thanks for responding, Don.
No, I don’t have DVDSP… and I understand that it’s quite expensive. My budget is very slim. Any other options?
I’m assuming that I can’t just burn the MPEG2 on a DVD and pop it in the the player? In that scenario, I could use the player’s looping feature to loop the movie…

Thanks. My work-around solution, in line with what you’re saying, is to hook up a pair of self-powered speakers to the ADVC110 audio out, and listen that way. I appreciate your info.
Best regards…

THANK YOU!
Thought I was losing my mind…
So is there no way to hear the audio while looking at incoming TV in the log and capture window?

[Quentin Block]

Hi,
Yes, in the audio section of the Clip Settings tab I tried everything (capturing audio only and aud+vid) and also checked sound settings on my machine before I posted this question. Also tried all the different Audio formats in the Clip Settings tab.

However, I do not see a specific

Thanks David. I see from Jerry’s response that I should use Compressor and unify everything to make things smoother, which seems to be your advice as well. I asked him a couple of follow up questions. Feel free to chime in with other tips or suggestions.
Much appreciated.

Thanks Jerry. So I guess Compressor can convert all these different files.
Including frame rates and scaling?
Is the best size for FCP 720×486?
Would there be any advantage to doing the scaling + rendering in AfterEffects instead of Compressor (especially if I have the original AE project)? Or would Compressor do the best job?
Still confused why FCP seemed to scale the 640×480 clip all around in the canvas window, while the 720×480 clip was not scaled vertically. In other words, the 2 clips next to each other in the timeline, both 480 pix high, appeared as different pixel heights, even after rendering. Any idea why?
Your help is really appreciated.
