    Thanx for your time for the detailed run through.
    Another Question: Does that mean, I can also somehow merge them so I have a new “subclip” in the Browser, which is containing the synced Audio clip, so I can use them in different Sequences if needed?

    Thanx.

    Hi Shane,

    thanx for your quick, and as usual, wise answer, which – as the Box of Pandora rolls – creates more Qs:

    [Shane Ross] “If your goal is TV…not really. Feature film…big screen, yeah, you’ll see it.”

    Difficult to answer: It’s a movie that is part of a theatre show, it will be projected with a beamer on a bigger screen, and partially on small TV screens and tents. So, you think with an SD Beamer Projection it would matter?

    [Shane Ross] “It will be flat when you edit it, unless you add a color correction filter and tweak things, then add that filter to all the clips. Or leave it flat, if the producers can deal with it, knowing it’ll look better later. MUCH better.”

    That is easy: I am the director of the film bit, DP & editor, so I do not have to make it look flashy during the editing process in the Offline bit. But since I also Grade it, I just wanted to know if there is some hints, which I should look out for, when grading the flat Cinestyle image. It looks amazing and I do not want to crush it to death to the blacks, but it needs some crushing the blacks and some re-sharpening for sure. Any thoughts on this one? I usually work with unsharpen/sharpen masks in AE, but is it also possible inside FCP? The FCP filters in the sharpen department are not really good, to say at least.

    Thanx.

    I have also FCP 7 and I do have that issue with the built in scroller as well.
    Using the Boris one and adding some Blur solved it.
    Just make also sure, you place it on full and not sub pixels, and even numbers.
    FCP is much less tolerant than AE.

    Can you explain, in a step by step way, how to connect all the master clips with the WAV files and also how I could safe & merge those as one clip then – if it’s not too much asked.
    Thanx.

    Amen to that – all that needed to be said. Sounds scary and a lot, but it’s true.
    The metaphor with the race car I like a lot. So true.
    It’s like being a DP or a CA – eventually the CA has to know, how to build all the stuff together, the DP does the art ;-).
    But it’s good to know the tech jobs, makes you appreciate own assistances a lot more!

    You might get yourself into a very stressful zone with this job, but you will learn a lot and you might get nerves of steel.
    Good Luck!

    January 7, 2013 at 5:21 pm in reply to: H.264 to Pro Res conversion – color change

    A link from the past, but very actual to my Question: Hi Raphael, how would you compare 5DtoRGB to The Log&Transfer tool of FCP?
    I shot a film on MARK III with ZEISS Prime Lenses in Technicolor Cinestyle Profile.
    Will there be really such a difference to FCP’s LOG&Transfer?
    Can you also Log & then Batch Capture in 5DtoRGB, so you can recapture Multiple Clips at once – we are talking about more than 500Clips.
    I read from Shane it takes a long long time? True? Much longer than FCP’s L&T Tool?

    Thanx.

    Have a great day.

    Sascha

  • Did you get an answer to this question? If yes, please, let me know.
    I’d be very interested in this as well.
    Thanx.

  • You solved it or it’s still an issue?
    If yes, can you post a screen shot of the current file structure of the card?

    Whenever that happened to me, it was because something changed in the folder / File structure of the Card Folders.
    If that is not the case, maybe something with your HD you stored the files on.
    Maybe try once, to copy one of your Card Folders to another drive and try it again.

    Let me know, if that helped.

    First I would check, which NLE System they are working on.
    Then make sure you know all about the skills in Logging, Capturing, Transcoding, labeling and naming.
    Quiet sure this will be a big part of what you do.
    Also I’d check all the basic editing operations.

    I think, you also should not hesitate to simply ask them, what will be your main work there, so you can prepare yourself.
    It’s ok to ask, it doesn’t make you look bad, but shows you are into it and you really want to be prepared.

    Greetings,

    Sascha
