January 19, 2011 at 10:06 pm in reply to: Bit-rate of various rendering in FCP

Yes, bit-DEPTH! 🙂 Duh. Thanks. And thanks for the info!

Along those lines… any idea what scaling algorithms FCP uses? I’m bumping a bunch of stuff up from 720 to 1080. I understand there are a bunch of different kinds that yield better and worse results.

And then, once I do the scale, would a very slight sharpen be recommended? (I understand FCP renders filters BEFORE motion, so I guess I’d have to nest?)

I’ve tried the various red giant upscalers but was not happy with the results. The sharpen fx plug in FCP seemed pretty decent.

Much thanks.

Jack I was having the exact same… maddening problem.

I tried everything, including a new install.

In the end, somehow it was the FCP project file. Which is weird, because I had also gone back to earlier versions and they gave me the same problems.

I was able to open the project for long enough to export an XML of my main timeline. Then, I created a completely new FCP project and imported the xml. Works perfectly now.

January 19, 2011 at 8:20 pm in reply to: 59.94 on 23.98 timeline

As usual, Andrew’s preset is amazing… But the challenge isn’t so much the frame rate, but the duplicate frames. As Andrew indicates, those have to be removed first. Ugh.

After Effects can do it on a clip-by-clip basis… but it would be a monumental task with this much footage.

With some tinkering I was able to get FCP to drop the duplicates when editing onto a 23.98 timeline. Was just hoping to find solution for it in Premiere…

I’m having exactly the same problem. Any solutions so far?

Right now I’m seeing if it’s my harddrive. Maybe it’s wigging out and causing FCP to wig.

I seem to get the same error popping up. It didn’t use to kill the project, now the whole thing crashes.

January 14, 2011 at 10:13 pm in reply to: Prores 422 transitions brightness difference, between clips.

Is there a definitive list of which transitions in FCP are at what bit depth? I know in the manual it tells you which filters are, but what about transitions? Also, how does the video processing mode affect this?

thanks!

January 10, 2011 at 6:55 pm in reply to: Pro color correcting with Adobe?

Yep, several people I know are doing the same tests. So far, the lean is toward Premiere and away from FCP. In fact, one of the studios I’m associated with is currently planning to switch 5 edit bays over to Premiere unless Apple releases a major upgrade soon. It seems like Adobe has been planning for that, given the smooth import export options from/to FCP and Avid. Check out the “roundtrip” link on this page.

https://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/production/whatsnew/

One of my favorite things about the CS5 suite is editing AE projects right onto the Premiere timeline. An unbelievable time saver. No I don’t work for Adobe and I’m not a plant! 🙂

As far as Color goes, my hope some day is to NOT have to buy Color at all, if there was a sweet and seamless Adobe solution.

(None of this is meant as a diss on FCP nor FCP engineers. 🙂 I’ve enjoyed FCP for a long time, ever since price switched me over from Avid. But I’m seeing the support nor innovation from Apple lately for pro video tools!)
