Then how do you put the SD clips back in with the HD clips and everything else once that SD clips are transcoded-consolidated with handles?

[Rosie Walunas]

Yes, all makes sense. Just trying to get this right to ensure quality control. Lol, ironically more straightforward Importing into a Progressive project!

[Rosie Walunas]

So if I get something that’s 1920×1080 or 1280×720 and it’s Progressive, the Field order would still be marked as Ordered for current when importing to my 1080i project?

Just trying to get this down. What I don’t want is to “be too late” with the field order.

Thanks.

Ok, thanks for your response. I’ve been under the impression that if the field order upon import was entered incorrectly things would look horrid on any of the outputs where the progressive footage appears.

And for films on TV I assumed they were undergoing some heavy duty conversions formatted for broadcast.

Thanks.

[Rosie Walunas]

Really? I mean that makes sense.

But I’ve read progressive footage in interlaced programs can have a shivering look to it.

What does this tutorial exactly apply to then:

Thanks for everyone’s responses.

This happens often with broadcast destined projects that incorporate progressive footage? Still a proper field order should be chosen upon import – if it’s not ordered for current, which doesn’t seem like the initial correct choice.

Right, just as has been happening. But what about the single beep that sounds when the drives get turned on on one of the two systems?

[Rosie Walunas]

So I just started a new session on drives after editor before me, turned on drives as usual by switching them on, hearing the single beep, then the drives did not initially mount. So I clicked Restart on the Mac and they mounted upon the Restart.

In the GUI local host for the drives here’s what I see under Storage Health Inspector:

Drive 1 – Temp = N/A – Bad sectors found & replaced = None – Device Status = N/A
(same straight throught he four disks)

Drive 2 – Temp = 91-100 depending on use – Bad sectors found & replaced = 0 – Device Status = OK
(basically the same straight through)

Something has got to be askew with how things are being turned off or shut down no?

Thanks.

[Rosie Walunas]

So you agree that the shutdown procedure I have been doing by shutting down the computer first, not ejecting the drives, switching off the drives is correct?

I am not planning on unplugging the drives any time soon, so I would not need to eject the drives until then, is that what you’re saying?

About the single beep, do you think it’s worth contacting another person at G-Tech about the beep? Lol, I hope they dont just tell me my power down order is wrong.

Thanks for your insight, if you have anything else to add, that would be great.

– can you substitute 24 for 30, or what other numbers would have to be changed?
– What do you mean by “May have to +/- 1 for inclusive TCs etc”? The frame rate is not exact?
– this goes in the duration column?
