This is cont off the questions in the post production thread. I created
Anyway i discovered that when FCP says can't "initilize with video deck" when i switch tapes or just using FCP. All i had to do was reconnect my fire wire. Such a simple thing. I was stressing and going through the menus and stuff. Anyway now i learned.
1. i use mini DV, i'm assuming DV SP is better. Thats not really a qustion, just saying.
2. Derek Eastham said " #6 - Like I said earlier... never capture 60 minutes all in one file... instead... import the tape in clips... then, if you didn't do it from inside the importing menu, you can organize those clips in your bin afterwards... using whatever method you prefer. "
What if my reel has no time code breaks, is there an easy way to get mutiple clips without me having to sit and watch the whole thing?
Like can i set mutiple ins and outs then have FCP find it. I know i can do that with one clip. I'm guessing you can with the batch clip, but i dont know how to do that.
3. And when i capture footage i should never rewind the footage to try to watch it because that cause the time code to break and i can accidently record over right?
4. i found the stabilize image in FCP and it doesn't work as great as after effect's stabilize footage, i dont know why. I thought FCP is suppose to be god or something. Or maybe i just dont know how to use FCP properly.
Anyway it took 25 min to render this effect. Isn't there a way i can render it in a lower quality just to see how the stabilize filter worked out? Cause it works alright but since the render time is so long i can't really tweak it.
5. How do i find out what birate i'm playing on?
6. i read about connecting things to a smaller tv and stff like that. I have a small TV, i think its a NTSC TV aren't all american tv NTSC? What type of cable do i need to buy to connect this television thingy? Or is there TV that have firewire cables, that would be kinda cool....
I do read the FCP manuel. I'm trying to self teach myself. I think if i learned that basics really well, so then i can be more prepared to take a class to learn the advance stuff. Because i hate taking intro class cause i always find that we are moving at incredible slow pace or the pace is to fast. I'm either bored or really confused.
Or even worst they have a teacher that dosn't know the material to well. I taught one of the proffesors aftereffects while i was in his class.
