Thanks. I am working on it now and hopefully will get this set up soon. Making the move from Windows and Premiere Pro to Mac and FCP has been great and I think FCP is an amazing program (I should have been using this many, many years ago). So any and all help are greatly appreciated. I will let you know if I am successful soon.

Dean,
THANK YOU for that explanation. I have set everything up as stated and my Decklink settings and FCP settings were exactly as yours.
I do have one final and easy question… I am trying to understand what you mean by “Loop Through.” I have connected my “Y Out” to the Ref Video section but since there are two I am not sure what I need to do to “Loop Through” back to the Y connection on the video in. I have the BNC cables ready I just need to understand this a little better. Can you please provide that information for me and I promise that will be my last question on this matter. Thanks.

Also, my video in is set to Y-R-B on the front of the deck.

Neither one of my monitors have an SDI input or output. They have either RGB or composite (yuck!). Am I not going to be able to view unless I have the SDI card for either monitor? Thanks for helping me understand this.
Seth
PS – I am running composite out from the Deck to my Sony monitor. I know it’s not the best but until my company pays to get the SDI card for the monitor then it is all I am stuck with. I just connected an S-Video cable from the 1800 to the JVC monitor too and am still not seeing anything.

Thanks Cap’N
I have printed this response and will be sure to try this once the computer comes in next week. Have a great holiday.

Obviously, I use Sorenson. I was just trying to provide the fellow with options. It’s better to be informed than base decisions on one person’s bias. I love Sorenson and would recommend it to anyone and everyone. I have used Cleaner XL and prefer their audio and video “clean-up” tools. You can make certain your video and audio are just perfect before compressing. But if you are good enough at that in post then you don’t have to worry about it and will be happy with Sorenson. Again, worth the money.

Go with Sorenson!
I use Combustion, AE 6.5 Pro, particleIllusion, etc. Needless to say, a one minute promotional video can be in excess of 2 gigs by the time I composite it, render it and edit it in Vegas. I use Sorenson to output as Flash, Quicktime and Windows Media. I absolutely love it. It is worth the money. Also, look into Discreet’s, um, er, Autodesk’s Cleaner XL. A worthwhile investment and tool for web delivery and presentation purposes. Good Luck.

I realized after really looking into the particles. Combustion takes the new emitters and places them in their existing folders. There are no new folders created as in the stand alone of pI3. That’s what I was used to seeing and what I expected to see. However, this is not the case. I just had to open pI3 and look at the emitters to find them in C4. Confusing at first but makes sense now. Thanks for the attention, Alan.

Thanks for the help Alan. That’s exactly what I did and when I go to open the library in C4 the new particles are not even provided as a choice. I will just have to download the files again from wondertouch.com and start all over. I know Ken and if I have any additional issues I will contact him about it. For some reason, all of the IEL files I loaded into C4 are being converted to .ELC files. So, I will start all over again and let you know what happens. Thanks, as always, for the quick response.

Alan,
Thanks for the response. I downloaded the entire 2.0 emitter library about two weeks ago. I just got to the point where I wanted to use more within C4 and was unable to LOAD the new libraries. Now, they are in the Particle Libraries folder of Combustion. However, when I start Combustion and try to load a new library the newly converted libraries are not available within Combustion within the program itself.
The file extensions are all .ELC files and again,they are in the folder but not available to be loaded. That’s what I am having trouble with at this point. I hope that provides a little more clarification. Thanks.
