Necessary Evil in my case. I hate it too. I’ve tried three apps and none of them work for me. Adobe Media Encoder did the trick (downloaded the trial).

All roads lead to Adobe at this point.

Thanks, Dave. I have since narrowed it down to a codec problem as you said. That app I mentioned does specifically says “Apple ProRess 422” in it’s many options.

Just for the heck of it I took the file I got out of Aiseesoft and put it in Compressor and the ProRes file that resulted from that worked in Cinema Tools. I don’t think I’ll be taking that route but I just wanted to see if it would work.

There has GOT to be some way FCP7 can still be friends with the world…

Travis,

I am having this very same issue right now. And I am about to PULL MY HAIR OUT! Did you ever figure out how to reduce noise across the entire sequence???? I’m doing it individually right now and it sucks! Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks Mark. I had the same inclination after thinking about it. But I don’t have any experience with Soundtrack Pro and don’t know how to fix the audio efficiently to save time and headache. If you or anybody else has any pointers on how to take a whole sequence into Soundtrack Pro to reduce noise without picking through each clip I am all ears. It is pretty straightforward…I have three interviews all in the same environment (a very quiet room) and the same ambient background throughout each clip.

Thanks, Shane. Much appreciated. I normally work strictly with my own footage from my 5D. However, I recently had my first project with two different formats comprising of my own 5D footage and some from a video I downloaded and used some of the material for b-roll.

When I started that project, the first clip I dropped in the timeline was from the downloaded video which was 853×480. I chose “yes” to automatically conform the sequence settings (which I was oblivious to at the time). After two or three days I ran the final cut through compressor and it came out looking horrible. My 5D clips were squeezed and stretched and looked awful. My brother and I worked for hours on a remedy so we wouldn’t have to re-do the entire thing and eventually got it to work.

I am assuming I should have begun with my 5D clips.

Again, thanks.
