Yes. For some reason, even though i made the image with a 1920×1080 HD Video preset, its being output to something ike 8000×4500….i have no idea why?

All I’m doing is going to export and selecting png or tiff…

I tried a tiff as well. No go. Something like an hour to render out a 10 second clip on a new quad core MacBook Pro.

I did think up a little work around though. Drop the still in to the timeline and then drag it out to the desired length. Export that clip as ProRes and reimport it to your project. Everything works smooth as butter on it!

You would think it could take a single still picture and make it look a lot easier than a high res video file…strangeness…

Thanks. I wish they would of just allowed unchecking the role to be the way to turn off that role on export.

So how would one go about exporting a project through compressor without having to export individual roles and create a new project and adding the desired roles back together to avoid the undesired role?

Hi Bruce,

Ive watch many tutorials on Pluraleyes and understand its an impressive product but Im just wondering if you can explain why its seemingly the preferred method of syncing clips over something like Dualeyes which seems to do it much cleaner and more automatically than pluraleyes and before you even drop any footage in to your editing program? To a noob, it can seem kind of cluttered and hectic dropping many clips on a timeline then having to put them back in to the media browser after pluraleyes does it job…

I don’t have much experience with this stuff so I’m just curious what I’m missing.

yeah tried all that….theres nothing in between them, which is why its weird…its basically just the main storyline with some connected clips above it, but not they are about 30 seconds of scrolling the mouse straight up.

How do you trash pref in fcpx?

This is exactly the same question I’ve had for a while. People make little tutorial videos and act like its so incredibly easy…until you have to do it about 5000 times.

Pluraleyes is another thing everyone talks about but its essentially the same thing…dropping clips on the timeline, manually syncing single clips and then u get this one big giant clip in the timeline where your supposed to be building your project…so what do you do then? Drop the clips you cut out of the massive sync clip you made back in to the browser window or something? Seems insane…

Dual eyes seems to be much better but for some reason no one seems to talk about it or use it. Its a stand alone app that you drop all the audio and video clips in to and it automatically replaces the good audio with the scratch audio…at least thats what my understanding is. Seems so much cleaner doing the synching automatically, outside of Final Cut before you even start organizing your project and then don’t have to worry about messing with individual clips.

yeah i just re analyzed everything. It didn’t make double prores or anything just zipped through all the clips and did the auto analyze stuff and all is well now. weird little glitch though.

Update in case anyone runs in to this problem…

So i restarted a couple of time and BAM…footage is showing up in the event now. There is no analysis files or smart collections or whatever the right term is though, even they it DID analyze and transcode this footage.

Im right clicking and selecting analyze…hopefully this isn’t going to duplicate media?
