There’s been a lot of discussion about this with Dynamic RT always dropping the quality of your footage until it’s rendered. That’s how Dynamic RT works, it drops the quality of the footage continuously to keep showing you RT effects with diminished video quality. The dissolve is clean because it’s rendered. Now render the stills as well and you’ll see everything in full quality.
You can turn off the Dynamic RT and go with the “old way” to work with the way you’re accustomed to.

[Matt] “i think you’re confusing broadcast license with sync rights. you don’t need a broadcast license in sweden either but you certainly still need the sync rights. some large productions companies, usually that are also broadcasters, negotiate annual sync rights with the copyright bureau too so if you work for one of those you’re fine but if you don’t…”
Very good point about Broadcast license vs. Sync Rights.
A great example is a network that pays a blanket license fee for music that may appear in shows such as a newsmagazine or a “movie of the week” type of thing, where the song is in the background, but nothing is specifically edited to.
Then you have something like “NASCAR on Fox” where they edit a whole slew of music videos cutting race footage with a specific song. Pretty much all the sports networks and shows do something like this here. That would require a sync license.

[fxparis] “In France we can legitimely edit ANY piece of music we wan’t on ANY film, doc, Tv show”
Not so in the U.S. Rights are negotiated either with a Network or with individual shows.

[Sean ONeil] “Whoa, easy there Walter. Would you have said that if he asked how to import a CD he bought at the store? :)”
Same difference. If you’re bringing a song into FCP, then I’m assuming you plan to edit a video to the music. That requires a “sync license” which is NOT granted by the purchase of the CD or by downloading the song from iTunes. You must contact the publisher, the record label, the writer and most likely the performer.
It’s not cheap either. An old recording of “I’m into Something Good” by Herman’s Hermits was going to cost $18,000 for a 3 month run on local cable. That’s an old song so I can’t imagine what today’s songs cost.
Again, plenty of discussion on these topics in the past which you can find by searching. Bottom line it’s illegal and really not something anyone on these forums should be doing.

[paul01] “i just downloaded a track from itunes, what is the trick so i can import it into fcp? how can i change sample rate etc? i have quicktime pro, no sorenson squeeze or similar. feel stupid.”
It’s illegal to use it in FCP unless you have a license from the publisher, the writer and most likely the performer. Many discussions on this matter over the past few years on this forum. enough said.

[tony salgado] “PS- Disclaimer I have been awake for nearly twenty three hrs due to a major multicam HD shoot I just finished with Barbra Streisand and Barry Gibb and find myself a bit punchy this morning.”
Um, I think just cutting that show alone would make anyone punchy.

Did you look at the manual and make sure that all of your settings are correct? There are some new user and RT parameters in FCP 5.0.

You need to be in Timecode Reader, not Generator. Sounds like you’re in the Generator mode.
If you want to make a timecode print of an entire Sequence with matching TC from that Sequence you first need to Nest it. Then apply the filter to the nest and ensure it’s in Reader mode.

Edit to Tape requires a timecode enabled device and an In Point for your device with enough pre-roll. Have you blacked the first 5 – 10 seconds of your record tape and then set an in point at least 5 seconds into the tape?

Very nicely done Stephen. So do you have any tutorials that take care of “Bad TV?” Seems to be a run on that these days. 🙂
