when i attempt to play back footage on my dvx100b I get that asterisk...for sure the tape has content on it, and the dvx reads the time code when the camera is paused/stopped, but as soon as i push play the asterisk appears and no image appears in the lcd screen.... this has never happened...

The newest 2.4 ghz Macbooks dont seem to come with firewire ports, so it looks lilke if we want to use Macbooks we will have to go with the so called "white" macbook-- but its 2.0 ghz.... our question is how effectively can FCE handle HDV footage on the new white macbook? We arent in a...

reading through the diff posts here and on other sites, i still dont know for sure if the newest upgrade in Final Cut offers full support of the HMC...so that transcoding etc doesnt any longer have to be done... for example, in a post elsewhere Barry Green said that he hoped that when Final...

Wondering how the two cameras compare in terms of picture quality when the 200 isnt shooting HD, but rather its mini-dv tape is used. thanks...( i thought i saw a similar post some time back , but cant find it now... so apologies up front for possible post-redundancy...)

be used to shoot HD....? ( i think the answer is no but want to be double sure) thanks!

it seems that when you take a sequence from final cut 6 and try to work with it on an earlier version, say 5.1, that general error message shows up....so the obvious q is: any workaround on that? thanks,,,

when we use quicktime conversion in FCP6 to make an mpeg2 ....it creates 2 diff files on the desktop, one is video and the other is audio...it seems that wont work for the upload to the web that we have in mind...(lyes, we have tried compressor...thats a whole nother story as it keeps telling us...

with FCP 6 being able to mix framerates in real time on a single timeline, we are wondering.... 1. when we, lets say, dump some 30i cilips into a 23.98 timeline (about 10% of our clips were done in 30i) does this mean that nothing further needs to be done,,,that is, no furher rendering, no...

one of our crew stumbled onto a process for editing clips from the two diff framerates mentioned in the title, and we are wondering if it will work,,,or cause for-now-unforseen problems down the line... so here goes... our final product will be in 23.98...but of course when we edit in that...

i got the Nattress product for making 60i footage work on a 23.98 timeline, but in editing the other day, auto render simply converted the 60i footage without any "special" effort on my part or Nattress....the resulting mix looked fine on my computer... am i just not seeing the problems? is it...

hey there-- i was logging doing capture now...and all is good...after each clip is done i simply type the name of the clip while it sits in the bin...(it would go in as untitled1 , untitled2 etc.) but now i just noticed in the capture scratch folders that none of the clips have their new...

man i hope this has an easy answer! i am trying to load FCP studio 5.1 into my newly purchased (but used) g5..the G5 has all the system requirements as far as i can telll ..but here is what happens..the install disk defaults to "Custom" and all the extra stuff---Soundtrack, Motion etc--is able...

we have a short films project with some of the films being done with typical commercial grade mini dv cameras--so i am assuming that means theyre being done in 30 --or is it 60--frames per...meanwhile some of the film shorts were done in 24pa....my question is, if all the 30 (60) frame films are...

we have a lot of audio clips recorded at diff. volumes...while rough editing we have been going into the viewer and adjusting the too high and too low volume clips..this makes a sequence at least more tolerable to work on... so we have 2 q's: 1) when we send it all to soundtrack pro, will...

i recorded 2 of about 25 tapes in F5 instead of F6-- so of course i have to do reverse telecine on the captured clips from the 2 tapes....this i did ( a batch reverse...) and it worked really well....but not all the clips got done ( some were skipped for some reason...) .. so i went back and did...
