I would let it try to open. This once happened to me with FCP and I let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes and it did open. I’m not saying it will open but you might as well let it try.

[Bruce] my business has gone to…well, doo doo. I cannot compete with free or nearly free.
The person doing the job for free or nearly free can’t continue to do the job at that price forever. Some use it as a way to gain a client or break into the bizz. What I’m getting at is this, some people that where in this industry last year probably won’t be by the end of this one. When a business such as yours, that has been around for a long time and has a big client base starts to hurt, it hurts even more for the person starting out with a very small client base.

I think Motion is a powerful program. Just check out this TV Show Open I did in Motion.

I just finished cutting a feature film and never used a J cut to cover up some technical problem. I used it when it felt right and when I had footage that help the story along better. All of the audio technical problems where fixed with lay backs. I’m sure the technique is used to cover up technical problem ever know and then.

The conversation between Bob and Jon will probably last 5 minutes or so. If you always cut at the end of the persons line to cut to the other person speaking it would be “ping-pong” cutting. And it would just feel like that. The J or L cut helps soften that. Here is an article that I think you would enjoy.

Hope this is the answer you where looking for.

[Jon] Sometimes on a show or film the first few words of the person who is speaking sentence are heard before they cut to the speaker. To me it looks like bridging two takes of audio but im not sure
I have found that If you watch a lot of old movies you can see that a dissolve is used a lot to transition from one scene to the next (first few words of the person). A dissolve helps tell the audience that there is a change in time. Fast forward to today, you will see very little dissolve transitions in a recently made movie. Dissolve can be distracting and upset pacing amongst other things. straight cuts, on the other hand do wonders, but sometimes can be distracting. The J cut can help ease into the new scene by letting the audio linger a little bit. I personally find that this can be achieved easier with SFXs. But these overlaps help make the straight cut into a new scene less jarring. At least thats how I see it. Hope this helps.

I agree with Jon. If you don’t care about quality and just need to pull something off for a reference you can even use your VHS tape deck, that is… if you still have one.

Here is a good sample. I created an open for a TV show a few months back. It is in HD and has a lot of elements, motion tracking, etc. It started to slow down Motion so I could not work in real time. I choose to work on it in sections and put the sections back together in Final Cut Pro. The final results are really cool and you can’t tell that it’s not seamless.
I could have built the whole thing in one project file but I didn’t want to compromise real time playback. To see for yourself check out the TV Show Open for 1000cc Raw Thrill.Check out my DVD Money Making Graphics & Effects for Final Cut Studio 2
