Hi vivek,

Thanks for your help: but I don’t know how to look at the log and which address I’ll send it?

thanks for your help, but I do the things as usual.

The problem is that I work regularly for long projects (about 2000 plans each) for the television. After a mean time the sliders in track mode, also all the sliders in clip mode (I realized after sending my mail) don’t work: and if I reboot the system: it works again: there isn’t a regularity for the issue. it happens when it wants.
I realized that also auto color button, not at the same time of the other sliders, doesn’t work all the time. I mean it doesn’t work although I reboot it

Have you got an idea?

Thanks

Josh,

I have an another question for the workflow, if you excuse me

Have you got an idea how can I trigger F4 tangent wave button (creating still image) when I passéd the next image by forward tangent wave button. using controller mate: So a logic of an action triggers an another action but the buttons remains as they are.
I use also Nucoda at work and it creates stills automatically so I try to imitate with davinci

thanks

josh,

you’re right, but the slots are not enough for my work. I mean I grade long tv episodes (100 min), so I try to find a way to find a way to work faster:

but thanks again

Thank you for your help. But What I don’t understand, when there are a lot of stills, which one I will define for the place of the cursor.

I mean, in the beginning of the project there are few stills, so I will define for the last one, but as I continue, the new stills will be created, so again jump to another still in a 1000 stills, it isn’t very practical and for to activate, I have to click on it.

Hi my friend,

for the first time I asked the same question in sony dv forum and now somebody sends me an answer. I send you this advice very interesting

I’ve just returned from a lengthy shoot with over 150 tapes and experienced exactly the same problem. It turned out to be a misalignment of the heads in the camera. We hired a VARIABLE SPEED deck for digitising. The deck – in rescue mode – automatically adjusts its speed to overcome the pixelation/dropout and we decided to dub the whole lot onto fresh tapes using this deck which effectively gave us a new set of ‘virtual’ rushes. Give it a try.

sorry in the mean time I gave the film to couple. they were very understanding people. and for longmetrage film I’m far away from paris. and I couldn’t answer your post. I can try anayway all this but when I return to paris in a month

bye

you’re absolutely right when I saw that not all the cassettes but the first one and the just the 10 min of second and 5 minutes of middle of the fifth cassette, it is suspicious. before the marriage, I used a cleaning cassette, because I didn’t use the camera for a long shot during last two months.

and when I was filming it, sony fx1, didn’t give a warning error. I mean nothing suspicious.

before every marriage I film the first 1 min of the cassette- I use always panasonic miniDV brand – and after that I rewind to playback to control the image and the audio to see if everything is ok. and nothing was suspicious neither.

I film always with mini dv in SP mode.

in the marriage, I stopped recording to change the position but each time there was’nt timecode break. and when I look at the images, the pixeliated images along with the sound breaks doesn’t correspond the start-stop points. it’s like arbitrary.

I tried the differents options in fcp even with my macbook and I asked another wedding cameraman to try it. he found the same problem.

so what I’m doing now, hopelessly, I try to make a more complex editing with adobe aftereffects, I’ll do several copies of the final dvd. and I payback the client.

this job is to live and to do the personals films, because I work just weekends. but always nerve-cracking about the possibility of problems which will be triste for the happy couples. this was the first technical problem, I suppose it will be the last one. I thought to buy a hard disk to capture directly to camera but these materiels are quite expensive to afford.

Thanks a lot to take a time to suggest me all the ways. I will look after even this problem if there is a solution. because I saw a lot of wedding cameraman has it before. And certains cameraman have also the dangereous experiences with the clients-they’re right, I think.

again thanks

I think you are right. Because I’m doing always the same. I film wedding with mini dv and editing with powermac G5 in final cut pro 6.0.4 with Pal dv template (I’m in paris). This time 1,5 hours of 4,5 hours recording time has pixelization problem.

I wanted to learn if there is a solution of head clog of the mini dv after recording ?

If you think there is really no hope. I’ll pay back to client

THanx for your interest.
