We’re working on improved Premiere CS6 integration for CatDV 10… watch this space 🙂
-
Take a look at https://www.squarebox.co.uk/download/CatDVPro10.0b6.dmg and see if it fixes the aspect ratio problem.

I don’t recognise those errors I’m afraid. What exactly are you trying to import? A backupXXX.sql file from another machine, or an older backup on that machine? And what are you using, the Import Database.. command from the Control Panel? Is the backup fairly recent or is from a much old system?

It uses whatever date format that you set on the General tab of preferences. If you hover over the field the tool tip text will show an example of the format it’s expecting.

Apologies for the delay responding while we investigated this issue.
It seems that the problem lies with the way the frame size is reported from MXF files, as 1920×1080, instead of the native DV size of 1280×1080 which is what FCP7 expects. If you send a single P2 clip from CatDV (as a merged clip) FCP seems to read the frame size information from the file and copes, whereas if you send a spanned clip it has to go over as a sequence and FCP seems to get confused by the difference between the frame size of the sequence and of the media.
We are still investigating how best to resolve this in CatDV but there seem to be two possible workarounds:
a) for an existing sequence in FCP which appears incorrectly zoomed in, bring up FCP Sequence Settings dialog and enter a custom frame size of 1920×1080.
b) when exporting the merged clip from CatDV, rather than dragging it over using the “magic door”, save it as a FCP7 XML file then edit that file with a text. On line 60 or thereabouts change 1920 so it says 1280 instead, then import the XML file into FCP.

You can configue the shortcut macro keys if you press the verbatim logger settings button. There are two options. You can use an arbitrary prefix key followed by a digit 0 to 9 (two character sequence) or a single key shortcut, in which case you tell it the first key and it uses subequent ones from that. For example, if you told it to use F1 then you’d have shortcuts on F1 to F10. By default the first key is NUMPAD0 but you can change this to plain 0 if you want.

We have a fix for this which will be included in the next release of CatDV
-
This is something we plan to add in CatDV 10.

You can easily copy and paste or drag and drop clips from one catalog to another to organise them as you require.

As Matt says, try the “Export As Stills” command choosing the “HTML Thumbnails” option from the drop down.
