I’m researching this myself, and I found this:

which says: Final Cut Pro 6 also does not properly support Sony

I’ve seen this bug also. If you close (twirl down) the clip, and then open it again, sometimes they show up. Otherwise, twirl down the clip, open another bin, close it, and try again.

So I think it’s more a display bug that a limit on markers. It’s stung me when I dragged markers to make subclips, and I was missing all the “invisible” markers.

You can build a list of what’s on a disk with automator, and then put it into a database or into Excel or wherever you want.

The first step in the workflow would be new workflow, then library ” finder”, and action “get specified finder items.” Check the box which says “show action when run”.

The next step would be finder, show folder contents. Check the box which says “repeat for each subfolder found.”

The last step would be text edit, new text file.

When you run, the automator workflow will stop for you to pick a hard drive (click the + sign, and select the drive), then when you select “continue” to accept that selection, then it will list the contents of that drive to a text edit document.

You can import this into Excel, and select delimited, and select “/” as the delimiter, and the info will be separated into columns by heirarchy.

I’ve heard good thing about CDFinder

One way to do this is to set up a different OS 10 user for each project (or project type). Since each user has their own preferences for Final Cut, they can be different (including scratch disk and project setups).

Then enable fast user switching, quit Final Cut for the “DV NTSC” user prefs, then log on as the user that has “DVCPROHD” user prefs, and you will have all your settings.

Fast user switching is enable under system prefs – accounts – login options.

Maybe you could export an EDL of a sequence, with all your clips, and convert that to a single subtitle file for use in DVD studio pro.

The subtitle file has the start and end timecode for each subtitle, and the subtitle text. All that information would be contained in an edl export of the sequence if you included clip names.

I haven’t done this, but it seems like it should work.

I’ve used the matrox MXO on 3 systems we have, one has the NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT, another has the ATI Radeon X1900 XT, and the third is a MacBook Pro with NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT.

The Matrox works on all of them, with ProRes422 1080p 23.98 and DVCPROHD 1080i 29.97 footage.

I’m also using the version 2.0.0.21 for the MXO.

If you want the advanced course on organization, this DVD has been well reviewed on this forum:

I would try various Video Playback settings in the Audio/Video settings, especially uncompressed 720p 23.98 YUV, uncompressed 720p 23.98 RGB, and maybe uncompressed 720p 29.97 YUV, uncompressed 720p 29.97 RGB.

In MXO software 2.0, there doesn’t appear to be a specific HDV preset for 720p 23.98, but one of the uncompressed settings should pass the picture.

For example, I’m editing a project telecined to ProRes422 1080p at 23.98, and to get it play on an HD flat screen here, I’ve been using uncompressed 1080p 23.98 (at 29.97) YUV.

So the setting that works might not be what you would first guess.

When you open one of the original audio files in quicktime, what is the sample rate listed?

I’m currently doing a film with 48.048 sample rate, 30 ndf timecode, but it was recorded on the Sound Devices 722 using the 48.048F setting. This is a 48.048 sample rate, but the files are tagged as 48K in their header (hence the “faux” F setting). Thus the edit system doesn’t have a chance to interpret them at 48.048, instead playing them back at 48K and thus slowing them by 1/10th of 1 percent (.1%).

Not sure about your resampling issue. Another thing you could try is conforming the audio using Cinema Tools (haven’t tried this). But when you conform in Cinema Tools, it merely rewrites the timebase to the Quicktime file, leaving everything intact, and maybe this would work.

You could also try using a speed effect of 99.9 on the audio to get it to sync.
