Hi Mark,

I have 8 layers of video and when shift-deleting, I neglected to select one of those layers. Now FCP thinks there has been a change in the timeline and is asking to re-render EVERYTHING. When shift-deleting, make sure to delete all of the layers in that particular timeframe. Hope that makes sense.

I answered my own question. Thanks for asking.!

VLC…that’s perfect. I’ll give that a try.

Personally I love the share feature for BluRay and Standard. The menu is simple and clean. I find it works if the film is under 60 minutes. The shorter the timeline, the more successful that feature is for me.

Thanks for the input guys. I was wondering if anybody knew what region the ‘share’ utility with FC uses ?

Hi Russ,

It does have a .mov extension. I tried to open it with the following apps:

MPEG streamclip
Final Cut Log & Transfer
Toast 10 Videoplayer
ClipWrap
VLC
Compressor

All the data is in the clip. For reasons unknown to me, my T2i didn’t save the file properly. As I mentioned, there is a program called Treasured that was able to open a preview of the entire 12 minute clip. The only problem is to actually use the program is too expensive for my budget.

The data is there, the problem is how the heck do I get to it ?

Hi Sohrab,

I tried that as well. Final Cut will import all clips form that card except the ‘one’.

There is a program out there called “Treasured” and it was able to open and view my entire clip. However, this is just a preview and in order have access to the clip, you have to pay a technician repair fees. This service looks good but the cost is out of my budget.

If anyone knows a ‘free’ way to get this clip opened and transcoded, I’d appreciate it.

[Steve Cornell]

Thanks Bret! That is by far the fastest way I’ve tried yet. Having to make hundreds of cuts is part of my weekly workflow so your tip will save my wrist a lot of hours of clicking!

I’m glad I posted.

Hi Matt,
I do recognize that Ctrl-V is a great shortcut if used in the timeline. I’ve zoomed in all the way on the audio clip and have waveform turned “on” so I’m able to see the dead spots.

However, I do prefer the VIEWER for this kind of cutting as the waveforms are magnified and much easier for me to make precise marks as to exactly where I’d like to cut. I was hoping this technology worked in the viewer is all I”m saying.

[Steve Cornell]

Yes, I know that trick. Thanks. I’m trying to research wether its possible to make about 50 marks on a audio clip in the viewer and then at that point, apply a cut to all of those clips in one move.

[Steve Cornell]

I am. I scrub through an audio track in the Viewer and “M” mark all of the spots I want to make cuts. After marking all the spots, I then use the razor blade in the timeline to go one by one, mark by mark and and a cut. This is time consuming and repetitive to say the least.

Let me just add, I understand that I have to manually ‘Mark’ all of the spots. That’s cool. What I’d like to avoid is having to razor blade cut along each line . I’d like to cut “once” if possible.
