Hi Gary,
The idea is that they export an AAF WITHOUT the media.
I then use this (almost like an EDL), to simply relink back to the original XDCam EX files. The issue is that the AAF is looking for the .new.01 files whereas I am trying to link to original files. I’m wondering if anyone knows if I can link to the consolidated files? -
Ok.. thanks guys…
I guess a proper RAID is in order… many thanks for the info. -
Hi David,
I’m just using 3 drives striped internally so I don’t think bandwidth is an issue. In addition, I plan to do it at 8 bit given HDCam is an 8 bit format anyhow.I was more concerned about whether FCP can capture from EDL without issue in HD,ie. no major bugs in this area?

Hi Jeremy,
Are you using a PAL project?
Are you viewing it on a progressive monitor or LCD?What we’re saying is that since it’s progressive, the dissolves and fade up from black should be progressive which they are not right now. Actually, try adding a video effect where the image moves across the screen and look whether it is showing interlaced or progressive on your MAC monitor (jaggies on edges of the moving image if interlaced).
Cheers,

Jeremy… can you email me off the list so I can send you the ftp info . It’s midnight here now, so I’ll do it in the morning.
Thanks for your help… steve997 at gmail dot com -
Jeremy…
I might be able to get something up on my http://FTP... do you want the finished QT with dissolves (to see the issue) or the original footage and then you re-create it?Steve

Hi Jeremy,
Actually the settings inside ADVANCED were on INTERLACED when I imported the footage via P2 transfer (file based). I then changed it later to PROGRESSIVE, hence why I mentioned it seperately.I’m surprised others have not come across this issue.

I have both a 30″cinema display as well as a SONY interlaced monitor for broadcast out. I actually noticed the fields while stepping through the fade-up from black and then on some of the video filters that have motion in them.
As mentioned, if I change the sequence settings on field dominance to OFF, then those problems go away, but the progressive footage itself then has jagged lines when you play it… (similar look as to when you shoot interlaced then play back with only a single field).
By the way, in the advanced area of seq. settings I have it set to PROGRESSIVE.Any ideas?

Hi guys,
Just an update.. after doing more QC, I came upon another dropout in another interview, so two dropouts on two separate recordings.The FS-100 was sitting on the desk, no vibration and the firewire cable was not moving. Interesting also, is that the two shots had different timecode offsets.. first was 34 frames, second was 18 frames… weird.
I am talking with Focus support.. will update if I find out anything.

Hey Rumpy.. many thanks for that… glad I wasn’t going nuts.
I’m on Express 5.5.3 and since I’ve just bought FCP, I’ll hold off buying the upgrade but will try putting all the new files into teh CONTENTS folder. Once again, thanks.
