I have not heard of it. You could try putting a 2-3 frame audio fade at the end of the clip and send a test clip. That solved the click issue when it happened in my timelines..

Hi Deborah,
[Deborah Mason] “Is there any program besides QLab for this? “
I would download a trial of ProPresenter and see if that works out better for you.[Deborah Mason] “Can I use QuickTime without the cursor or playback controls – and- could I adjust the speed of a movie in real time during the performance, ?”
Quicktime 7 has an AV control window you can pop up with shuttle control, not sure how that would work in your particular situation.[Deborah Mason] “my MacBook Pro, when I hooked up the video adapter, forced me to slide the projection image off screen to the right, just to be visible.
Can I disable this?”
I looks like you have mirroring disabled in display settings and are getting an extended window (which you would need for ProPresenter or QLab)Vince Becquiot

Hi Bethan,
Things can get pretty complex when it comes to streaming so I’ll give you my take on a fairly affordable and reliable way to go about it.
Switcher: There are many switchers out there, best to rent if you don’t do this often. I would recommend the Panasonic AW-HS50N. Gives you 4 HDSDI inputs, multiviewer and 1 DVI graphics input. BTW, I would absolutely pick cameras that have an SDI output. HDMI is unreliable after 30′ and asks to be accidentally disconnected during a shoot, SDI will give you over 300′. But if you insist on HDMI, you can look at Blackmagic’s offerings.
Cameras: Canon 5D: Yikes. No good for a live performance, no SDI out, no servo zoom, no designed for video, especially live.
Go to borrowlenses or similar outfit, and see if you can rent video cameras in your price range with quality tripods.
Sound:Get a mixer, output XLR to a media recorder. KiPro or PIX are 2 that I can recommend, Blackmagic also has few cheaper recording options.
Streaming:Again, there are few options, some computer based (What I would call unreliable). My recommendation, Teradek Vidiu or Cube (cheap to rent). One will get you HDMI in, the other SDI. Both easy to setup with major streaming outfits including LiveStream and Youtube.
Hope that helped, again there are many caveats, and you’ll need a decent size crew to make this happen smoothly.

Hi Lindsay,
For rear projection, you’ll roughly need the width of the screen in projection distance at the minimum (0.9 Lens). Rear projection will compete better with front lighting, but you will lose some brightness and viewing angle VS front projection. As for projector brightness, that’s really hard to tell without seeing how much light falls on screen (ideally none).
You could look at a 6000 lumens projector (I definitely would not go under that), but I would recommend something closer to 10K for a client.

It will be ignored unless you check the box to use preview files in your export.

Hi Ariella,
I find that almost all crashes are due to third party plugins. I would also recommend a minimum of 16 Gigs of RAM if you will use After Effects.
Also, unless you have a CUDA cards installed, you might not get the maximum potential on these machines for rendering and realtime preview.

The best format is going to be the one that doesn’t require a lot of CPU processing. If you don’t need HD, you could try DV.

That could be harder to solve. Depending on the program you are using, you want to make sure you are keeping the fields in the same order. Most HD formats are either upper or progressive.

Ok, then try right clicking on every clip in your project manager, then change the interpret settings to progressive as well.
