Hi everyone, I'm selling some fast Nikon Lenses that I used when I had my M2 set up. I sold my HVX and I'm simply not doing enough shooting to justify holding onto these. I'm hoping someone can give them a good home. Here's the link on Craigslist...

Hi guys, I just finished compressing a short film using compressor and it looks like it squeezed it into 4:3. I shot this using the HVX, DVHC Pro. What do I need to do to preserve the 16:9 aspect when running it through compressor? thanks! Jonathan

Hi everybody, I am trying to burn my short film, Succumb onto DVD's for my cast and crew. I've got a strange problem. My Macbook Pro (2.5 core 2 duo, running 10.5.8, 2 g Ram) won't recognize the uncompressed .mov movie file. It will however recognize the compressed Quiktime file...

Hey everyone, This should be an easy one, but it's got me stumped. I exported a FCP project (FCP 6) as a quicktime .mov file. I want to do a simple export to DVD so I'm burning using idvd. Now I've got an older version, version 6, and my wife has version 7 themes on her mac pro laptop. The...

Hi everyone, I'm finishing up editing a short film I recently shot. My 3d guy sent me the files in .mp4 format. I'm having an issue with the imported .mp4 files not wanting to play in FCP. Do I need to convert the files into another codec? thanks!

Hi everyone, I'm having a weird problem with my G5 (dual 2.3, 4 gig Ram, 10.4.11 OS). I've got 4 gigs ram installed, but just today, if I pull up the info, it says I've only got 2 gigs. The reason I noticed is because FCP (version 6) is giving me warning signs on dropped frames on the...

Hi everyone, I've been searching on the forums and I haven't been able to find the answer, so here goes. I finished a short film recently and had a band play in a bar sequence. The band leader did me a huge favor by hooking me up with the owner of the bar and letting me shoot there, so I...

Hi everyone, My team and I have just completed a short 15 minute film, "Succumb". It's a Steampunk Sci Fi short. I'm in need of a 3d artist to model our Steampunk spaceship. I have a brillant artist, Mike Pedro who is drawing up the designs for the ship. If interested I can email you the...

Monitor and Tripod have been sold! Thanks for your interest. Hi everyone, I'm selling my Ikan V8000 HD monitor and Cartoni Focus tripod fluid head. I'm just not using them enough to justify keeping them around. I've used both of them for a few short films and that's about it. Both are in...

Hey guys, I've got a wav file from Soundtrack pro that I'm trying to drag to my timeline, and it's giving me a "operation not allowed" warning. I've got room in the timeline. Prior to this, I saved it as a separate file in one of my bins. I know there's got to be a simple explanation, but...

Hi everyone, I've got background car traffic during some of my outdoor scenes. Is there a filter for that or am I stuck doing VO? cheers, Jon

Hi all, Can anyone give me some pointers on how to use Raylight and organize my clips w/o using P2CMS? I'm using a G5 Mac with the P2 files on an external drive. The tutorial on Dvfilm's website says to rename the clips using P2CMS and then import the clips into FCP, but now P2CMS is only...
