Move the clip into the bin in which you want the subclips. Make the subclips. Move the clip back. Or make the subclips and then move them into the bin you want. You can’t direct subclips to a specific bin.

Tried the Tab key? You might want to rearrange your columns so the log note is closer.

All the best,

Tom

Use FCS Remover to uninstall the application, and then install from the discs. You don’t need to install any earlier versions. If it’s an upgrade install disc you’ll be asked for the original serial number.

So the application didn’t open at all? Try trashing your preferences and see if you can launch the application from the Dock or wherever. Not a project.

All the best,

Make sure the nested sequences overlap in the timeline tracks.

“but FCE doesn’t support this”

Wrong. You can’t select the items and convert them to a nest, but if you cut the material in a sequence, you can place that sequence inside another sequence, which is nesting.

Final Cut treats a nested sequence as a complete piece of media. If you want to do a transition between them you have to either trim back the two adjacent nests in the master sequence using the ripple function, or put the nests on separate tracks so they overlap and apply the transition to the nest on the upper layer. This will work with some transitions, but not all.

All the best,

Hold the Shift key while the application launch. Did you do what I suggested above? What happened?

It’s an FCP Blur filter. This can happen if the settings is too high and the graphics card can’t handle it. Try opening the project first holding the Option key. This should open the project with all the sequences closed. If that works. Try to just open the sequence that has the filter applied. If it doesn’t open the project with the sequences closed then try the FCS Maintenance Pack from Digital Rebellion.

All the best,

Nothing. It’s anamorphic as you said. It’s for the display application to correctly display it. The question is really why you’re exporting and where you’re trying to get to. If the problem is in the QT player go to movie properties and set the Presentation aperture to Clean.

All the best,

Anybody notice there was no Tools menu in the interface? I think there are going to be a lot of things missing in this first version of the application. Maybe it just wasn’t in the early version. The demoed version was reportedly the same version shown in February.

All the best,
