I’ve been having this EXACT same problem with American Typewriter. I have tons of bulleted text items that are using the Regular weight. When I quit and restart FCP, some of those titles are now in Bold – a huge round, fat version of this font that doesn’t match at all. I found that if I restarted the computer, it would sometimes clear up. It would render correctly one day, and then if I clicked on the title on another day to make a change, the font would now be the wrong one. Completely bonkers….

Thanks for your help Craig. For some reason my brain wasn’t considering upping the bitrate that much! I sent him one at 6000 mbit/sec at 1280×720. Here’s hoping it plays, because it really looks good on my machine. The 1920×1080 clips wouldn’t play back reliably on my MacPro, so you’re right on that score, too much overhead.

The PC is based on Windows XP running Windows Media Player Version 11.0.5721.5230. The Display Adapter is an ATI Mobility Radeon X1400.

I’m going to try it at 6000.
He’s going to run the screen at 1440x 900. I was going to enocde it at 1920×1080. Perhaps I should encode to 1280×720 ? In Windows Media Player, surely there’s a setting to say “fill screen” Right?

I’ve actually been using Episode 4.3.2, I will switch to 4.4.2 if that will give me better results.
I’ve been playing with the WMV9- Download – HIgh Quality setttings with average rate of 1200 kbit/sec. Should I be able to go higher than this and still have it play back? What doesn’t look good is my dissolves between stills. It looks blocky during and right after the dissolves, then resolves itself and looks better.
Or should I use the Windows Media VC-1 settings? I tried a test clip but can’t get it to play on my Mac (Quicktime player bombs) so it hard to test it.
I’m emailing him to see what kind of machine it is. I’m sure its a laptop he’s taking to the show.

6.02 plus Pro Res plus embedded Motion files = horrible render problems for me, no one is alone in this. You’re lucky you are at least getting renders. FCP bombs in the middle of all renders. If I leave it to auto-render, when I come back it has bombed. I have to sit and babysit a render, cancelling after it has completed 2 or 3 percent. If I lose concentration and wait until status bar is at 20% or so, hitting cancel will bomb Final Cut Pro (losing the renders) I will add that I have an Intensity Pro as well. So I don’t know where to point the finger, but that’s my setup. (Mac Pro, Tiger, 4GB RAM). Any ideas appreciated, I trash Constant Frames and reset Prefs several times a day at this point…

I believe you can do this cheaply with the Intensity Pro. You hook the analog Y out to the composite input of the reference monitor.

I just captured via my Sony m25u going out HDMI into the Intensity Pro. I used a firewire cable and “Firewire NTSC” device control setting under Audio/Video settings in FInal Cut Pro. The audio and video came in via HDMI, and the timecode came in via firewire successfully.

Thanks for the response. All of the footage was royalty free stock for this job, so I don’t have any problem giving them those files. But I was just confirming that indeed, I own the edit and motion graphics pieces because these are things that _I_ created. Just need to compose the right sort of email response, you know.

Is there no way to make the menu itself anamorphic, so that it auto-fits? Using DVD Studio Pro, btw….
