Try this:

• open new project
• don’t do a thing in there, but go to settings
• change whatever you need
• save
• quit

Dear Blackmagic people,

Thanks so much for all of your work. It is incredible what you deliver, how you listen to feedback, the speed of reaction and for what price: free and a drastic price cut for studio.

Sincere compliments!

Zombie software, assumed to be dead, but somehow alive…ish…

If all good advice above doesn’t work, and in the export there are no frames missing or repeated/blended or so, perhaps it has gotten the wrong metadata info (23.81 ??? is suggesting that, but how…).

Try to reconform the 23.81file to 25 with the also deadish cinema tools. (Takes 2 seconds, no rerendering in that tool, just rewriting the header info.) Probably you have to export the sound separately, or save it from the 23.81 file and later get them together. Check duration of the 2 video files (23.81; 25) and the sound file. Can be done with quicktime, but also with the free davinci resolve.

Or export an XML and do the final export in resolve. Resolve has FCP7 xml import, but if you have a very complicated timeline…

Good luck!

Hi

Nick is right, convert the files to the same sample rate in a codec with timecode in it, one with constant bit rate.

Hi Sacha,

That’s a bummer. No clue how to solve this, but if you can, wait for the new version V14. The studio version has no dongle anymore and is much cheaper. It is currently in beta.

Hi,

Another way is in the manual, page 1104 “Compositing Using the Alpha Output”. In your case you have to do a luma key instead of the green screen key as Shane already suggested.

Hi Aaron,

I uprezzed some old family mini dv material. I used DV-PAL setting (in media page, clip attributes) and that gave the correct sizing, also with anamorphic correction. Just try, it shows immediately if it overstreches

Hi Christophe

If I remember correct: DV audio is 48kHz with two channels. If you recorded 4 channels it was 32 kHz

Hi Seth,

That’s what I do, with reconform to bin. I have described how I do that in the treat below this one (Export entire project to FCP7)

[Richard Van harderwijk]

It doesn’t matter what tool makes the proxies. Thinking: perhaps start with setting the master project setting->timeline to half-res. And then copy a timeline and check that it is half-res and check performance when editing.

And you can always switch to proxies. Start with one bin/timeline to try it out. Make half-res proxy files, select in media page, put them in a separate bin. Change project settings to half-res, copy timeline, reconform from bin (select proxy bin) and try it out. When having edited, change project settings to full res, make a copy of the timeline, reconform from bin (full res bin).

I use the color page to see if resolve uses the proxies, the whole timeline, under all clips I see the codec (prores proxy). Full res with me is prores hq. But you can see from all clips what the file is they are pointing to.
