Hi.

the computer at work had a clean install of OSX when installing the new drive and FCS2.

My personal Macbook Pro didn’t at the time, but was about 5 months old.

Do you think there could be any issue with the discbrn? I’ve had Xbox games that have been messed up because of the burn. Some of the files were corrupt. Do you think it could be the same kind of problem?

If so.. I would guess it’s like a 1 to a million chance… But hey? I guess they’ve sold at least a million copies?

Thanks alot.

Allthough I don’t understand all of it in theory right now, I guess I will understand more and more when I start logging and having contact with the lab, etc.

The film is actually shot, and is currently stored at the lab. It has been scanned to Digibeta, and the tapes are, as we speak, on its way in the mail.

I’ve ordered the Shane Ross DVD and are looking forward to getting started.
I allways feel these things are harder to understand when I don’t have my hands on the gear, tapes, etc.

The Sound has been recorded on dat and the sound report is really accurate and detailed (thank God!)

I spoke with the sound engineers when I edited the pilot, and they said the sound recordings had TC recorded on them. We didn’t get this when we logged this in, because we didn’t have the right DAT player. And the fact that we only used 2 sound recordings in the pilot I didn’t feel that this was a big problem.

I have to read a bit more about the 24 frame issue to really understand it and will spend the week browsing for articles and more info.

feel free to inform about any articles dealing with this.

Thanks guys!

Since last time I have made some progress – but the only thing that is really helping is if you export a batch list.

I think it has something to do with the project. Don’t ask me why or how. But if you export batch list and open a new project. Import it there and batch capture!

Most problably the dumbest answer you’re going to get:

On easy setup – make sure the box that says “show all” is checked.

Could it really be that simple?

No, don’t think so!

Hi.

It seems it is the project that is somehow messed up.
I can batch capture in any other project and on to the disc, so that leaves out a couple of options.

The project was done in fcp 4.5 (i think) and then reopened in 5.0.4.

I tried capturing the whole lengths of the clips, but that wont even work. Not even in the original project.

Does enyone even know what the error message is referring to? Is it something I can turn of in item properties of the clips?

I have never seen this message..

I tried duplicating the clips as master clips – but no luck.

If anyone has any other ideas please let me know!

By the way, while doing this I followed the instructions on this page:

I hope that’s correct. But it should not have anything to do with it. Since I can’t capture in the original project either.

Havew a nice weekend everybody!

That’s problably a problem with your external drive.

Since you dragged the clip/file onto the desktop, which means copying the file to you internal drive, I’m assuming the file was on an external drive.

What kind of output/cable are you working with?

Working with clips that long on an external drive can often cause trouble. I have had somewhat the same problem when speeding up an hour of footage in a timelapse. it goes all colourish… and the sound goes away.

That is on a FW 800 disc.
