    Depending on your system and the resolution of the file you might not be able to play Animation back in RT. Your best bet is to double click on the file in the browser and see if it previews in the viewer.

    I agree wholeheartedly. I hate most video effects that people use these days, and reserve a special hatred for white flashes and speed ramps. And then there are films like Standard Operating Procedure that use black so often that it completely loses its effectiveness. People trying to be fancy instead of letting the material tell the story…though for the OP’s problem it might be the only solution.

    I’m pretty certain that you have interlaced footage in a progressive timeline. Changing the sequence settings to match the clip settings should fix the problem. You’ll always see interlace lines on a progressive monitor like your computer screen however.

    I’m doing some work on a mixed xdcam and hdv project. Hdv is just plain gross. Colors are very muddled, even things in focus look fuzzy because of artifacts. The best that can be said for it is it’s a step up from dv. I’m no huge fan of cheap avc cameras either, but it should be miles better.

    Try clicking in the timeline then clicking command-a then exporting. Never seen this problem so I’m shooting in the dark, but it may work.

    Just a guess – the viewer might be selected as you’re exporting, that would export the content between the ins and outs in the viewer.

    Hi Ari,

    A friend of mine has a blackbook 2.0 w/ 4GB that runs FCP quite smoothly. For basic capturing and editing you should be fine.

    Shalom,

    Wow, have to love that. Is there a way to maximize comparability? I looked up tutorials on adobe’s website for FCP>Encore workflows and found 3 separate sets of
    instructions which were completely inconsistant. The disc in question was a 15mbit average vbr mpeg-2 with the bluray stream type – is any other setting preferable?

    Thanks for your assistance
