Hello Margus- my thanks!
Yes BOTH control panels visible – and have always been so.

AND –
boot up this AM: ALL WORKING FINE!

not sure I am more relieved or worried, since I did _nothing_ to it. Damn.
Ah well …. will see what happens.
confusion reigns!

again thank you for taking the time to respond!!
kind regards

Have done this margus.
Nothing from the card to the external boxes. I just thought there maybe some BM software, etc that showed the card was active or generating a signal…

??

Was very sudden.
odd.

aaak Jerry! don’t SAY that without a link! torture!
;D

Rafael – re 29.97 pull down – thanks! makes sense as described. so 23.98 it is then.
really appreciate the hand-holding here guys!

yes, I knew I was doing it wrong… which is why I am here 😉
The 29.97 frame-rate was client-requested AFTER the shooting, so one does what one can! Will give Compressor a go to see how it looks. thanks.

But your point makes me wonder if its not better to shoot 29.97P then if someone wants 23.98 it would make more sense to PULL a frame rather than cover up for missing ones going Up the Other Way??

Thanks for your guidance. Lots to Learn…

Dave-
I am converting 23.98P to 29.97 _P_ , not _i_
FWIW

Hi Shane-
ProRes 442 HD 23.98 – trying to re-frame-rate to 29.97. Which it DOES (FCP>Export>ProRes- with appropriate change in FPS) – so I _AM_ getting the 29.97 but only first 48 seconds.
weird.

Like I said – QT7 Pro did the conversion (thanks Gawd) but really stumped as to why FCP would do this.

Thank you Dave. Lots to learn here. 🙂
Where I can, I would certainly shoot rates that suit a particular application. Big trick is any one ad we produce goes to, say, 4 diff stations and each has a different spec! So I am trying to shoot/edit on the most flexible “base” that I can then generate alternate rates too.
So it sounds like EITHER 29.97 OR 23.98 would work? Does not sound like there is a quality difference between them as far as changing to other frame-rates. Have to say I am partial to 29.97 given a choice.

Hi Dave – thanks. so understood re: 24. Suppose the same for 30fps too. Good tip on the 23 to 29 audio pitch!! 🙂

720P. Really? gads. My Scarlet bros will have my hide if I run this thing down that far! Get enough “grief”
“just” running HD!

Hi Stephen! (love your tutorial stuff)
Its fairly complex (but jeez, its motion so aren’t most??)
5- camera layers (1 after the other)
11 drop zones (floating pictures)
3 background “walls” -images
1-power-sucking light flare, which I disabled and actually layered in a second pass, so presume “turning it off” should speed things up (certainly did for the render!!)

Again – this whole project was speedy enough last week to allow me to run to at least judge ease-in/outs etc in playback but NOW at 1fps?? no way 🙁

cheers
