Hi Tero,

Thanks for the response. I just checked it and my compositions are all set to 25 fps as well. This is the same in project settings. Do you have any other ideas I could try?

Bailey.

Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind.

I’ll look into it definitely.

Thanks for all the help!

Hi Nick,

Thanks so much for your response. I have found on another hard drive a backup copy of the project before the media managing catastrophe. So I think the most sure fire way is going to be to replace the timeline clips with those, and adjusting for the differences between them.

Thanks
Bailey.

Thanks for the response’s. Sorry for the delay in mine.

To clarify:
Shane- I am re-transcoding from source footage to 4444. We shot on Red One MX.

Steve- I have taken your advice and just bought another hard drive to play it safe.
But to clarify, what I’m trying to avoid is a slow and messy project. The Project files I want to delete are duplicates, I had copied the project to try various project settings, so I would have a backup incase what I was trying went wrong. But hadn’t gone back and deleted the old duplicate after moving on and still having all the sequences and media files in the newer duplicate.

Generally these duplicates were fairly unnecessary in the first place and I just don’t want to have a messy and confusing capture scratch/ other FCP documents. Makes it harder to navigate!

But basically I’ve quit all that, and am keeping it all to play safe. But I was concerned that when I have copied over a project, most of the files in the capture scratch have a “-v” on the end, there are also some of these in the capture scratch for a project that was recovered after FCP crashed.

Could you tell me what this “-v” means?
If they’re something to be concerned about?
and maybe how to stop it happening?

Many thanks,
Bailey.

Hi,

Just to be more specific about my previous problem.
Primarily I want to know if the alteration’s to speed setting are anything to worry about and I can do anything about it?

– FCP speed settings had been changed moving the project between FCP 6 & 7
– i suspect I might have a similar problem going into colour. Especially as I remembered that it is advised to export clips with effects/filters on, as separate quick times and put them back in the sequence before going to colour. But if I do this I’ll be stuck with those shots at 422.
But Ic an’t get into FCP 7 to transcode it to 4444 without messing up speed settings. Right?

[Tom Bailey]

Thanks for both your help.

I now managed to find prores 4444. I did/ do have FCP 7 installed and found the Red Final Cut Studio 3 installer.
I will speak about grading in r3d files to my grader. But for future reference, I had a couple of questions:

1. when updating the project from FCP 6-7 it says some speed settings have been changed- is there a report of what clips these are on anywhere and how drastic as they likely to be?

2. If I did want to re-transcode to 4444, I could make them offline, then how would I batch capture or reconform through log and transfer to re-encode them to 4444?
(seems a slightly stupid question, but just to keep me on the straight and narrow).

Thanks again

[Tom Bailey]

Thanks Michael I’ll try both of those!

[Tom Bailey]

of course!
Good lateral thinking.
Thank you both!

Hi Neil, or anyone else.

I just wondered if you know how to make audio speed settings a favourite effect, so i can marry it to a button?

I understand the process of setting it on the keyboard, but I can’t add it to favourite effects if I can’t put it in the folder. Can one of the effects in Audio Filters folder change speed?

Thanks,

Bailey.
