Go into your settings for your timeline to confirm that your settings did not return to a default.

Click in the time line to activate it and command-zero or open via the sequence > settings and just confirm that the settings match your clip settings.

Hope that helps

I’ll try to help….

Did you save the file out from FCP first as a seperate .mov then import into compressor? If not that is the first step. Do not use FCP export to compressor from within FCP.

[Scott Robinson]

Yes the files are all on a hard drive going to another hard drive through a Kona 3 or FS-1. Do I need to down step through plain old division? I am concerned since I have been told this one-step solution of putting through hardware will be a dirtier method…(more artifacts and potential issues)?

Anyone done this before?

[Scott Robinson]

No luck in trashing my qmaster preferences and the /var/spool cache.

I have and error in the qmaster log that reads :

“mrk” sub=”error” what=”get-log” avail=”false” msg=”Not logging to file.”

Anyone have any ideas about this issue?

I have the cluster at 4 on a Quad core (8 core) and it is barely using any moving. The activity monitor shows hardly any movement on the cores but they are all responding. It will not re-merge the files multiple files the cores create into one video file.

thanks

[Scott Robinson]

thanks.

I will try re-clustering the qmaster and hope that works.

[Scott Robinson]

I thought that was it… but it seems that even after the job is done it is hanging with 00:00 time left and not merging them into one?

Could I also indulge you in asking about the geometry setting versus the Filter setting for letterboxing.

I want to take 16:9 into a 4:3 space and wondering about when or why use the padding settings in the geometry over the letterbox settings in Filters? Are they the same thing?

thanks everyone!

[Scott Robinson]

Thanks,

So if i want to change the aspect and square pixel to non-square, can I do that with compressor in geometry or in After effects?

Let say I have a 1920×1080 with square pixel and I want to keep the entire video frame but get it into a 4:3 720×480 non-square pixel space… do I just letter box it with compressor and put the pixel settings as NTSC 601?

Thanks Sam, that was very helpful and just the support I needed in going the distance for quality sound.

[Scott Robinson]

Wow, Sam that is an awesome option! Thanks!

And just a note that I did use a rycote fuzz ball but I was asking for trouble by trying to pull it off by the ocean with a breeze.

Could I get a few more tips…

If I go for using my MKE 2 over a ME 102 what are the main differences between the two? One is a condenser but what does that mean quality wise besides the MKE 2 requires power?

I am just trying to sort out if I should spring the cash for an omni that can be switched into the EW system easily.

[Scott Robinson]

Thanks Sam…

I don’t have the plug-in SPK 100.

I was wondering about the MKE 2 being a condenser Mic… would that pose an issue in being converted from the K6 module to a 1/8″ plug end?

thanks
