Re: [Avid-L2] Applying an effect to more than one clip in a timeline

 

This worked on Symphony last time I tried it (a few days ago), though I may be working one dot release after yours. There is a certain amount of delay in my own work situation, which is a rather extreme one, with lots of media being addressed through ISIS networked drives. I've learned to wait a few seconds for the beach ball to show up, and then sit tight while all the effects icons show up in the timeline.

The one thing I haven't figured out how to do is apply a stack of nested effects to a bunch of clips in one operation, i.e, pan and scan them all, then color correct them all, etc. I believe FCP is actually superior in this respect. If you can spare the track space, you might want to try dicing out some empty track space with add edits, then apply effects in the correct processing order to the empty tracks above the media tracks.

Good luck. Let us know what happens.

Symphony 6.0.1.1, MAC Pro 8 core 16 Gig Ram

I'm cutting a corporate gig with a lot of repetitive effects (resizing
backgrounds, PowerPoint slides in a monitor screen, Spectramatte the presenter
and a bug on top) on 5 different video tracks.

It's been a while since I did a job like this, but I seem to remember that I
used to select a series of clips on the timeline by lassoing them from left to
right and then double click on the effect I wanted in my effects bin and the
effect would be applied to all the selected clips in the timeline.

I have tried doing that to no avail on this job and have been dragging and
dropping the effects on each individual clip in order to get what I want.

Did this change at some point and I am not aware of it?

If it did, this is a major PITA. It's a real drag and I'm ready to drop. .

If you can't get the current BCC "Flicker Fixer" (under image restoration in V8 only) then you can try these guys with a free demo <<http://3prong.com>>. I used them a ton in the SD days.

Re: [Avid-L2] C300 footage solved

 

My advice would be even more foolproof. I always tell my AEs to copy (via
option-drag on Mac) the DISC/CARD mounted on the desktop to the RAID. You
can't miss a single file or folder structure element if you do it that way,
and you can rename the copied DISC/CARD anything you want once it's copied.
Don't bother opening the DISC/CARD and poking around in its folders looking
for what to copy. You might not get everything.

[Avid-L2] C300 footage solved

 

I had not downloaded the 64 bit version. That was one problem.

The other was stupid, and I should have known better, but it may help some other stupid person, so I will outline my error:

I was trying to use the AMA VOLUME option instead of AMA FILE.

When I copied the folders over from the card, I dragged the CONTENT folder from the card to my RAID, leaving it named CONTENT and not touching any of the other folder structure. I also had to copy ANOTHER card's worth of footage onto the same RAID, but of course, the folder name for THAT card was also "CONTENT." So, I created a folder on the RAID called "CURRENT PROJECT" and dropped the second card's CONTENT folder into that to keep it from overwriting the first card's information.

When I tried to AMA the first card, using VOLUME, I pointed at the CONTENT folder and the Avid didn't see any AMA-able files. But when I pointed at the second folder, that had the second CONTENT folder inside of it, it worked perfectly. Since that worked, I created another folder on the RAID called "CURRENT PROJECT2" and dropped the first CONTENT folder into it and then the AMA of those files also worked perfectly.

So the lesson is that the Avid is used to having you point to a CARD with the CONTENT folder IN it... and if you copy the CONTENT folder to a RAID or some other drive, you either need to put it into a folder on the RAID, or you have to point to the ENTIRE RAID, which of course, could import a LOT of stuff that you may not want.

Lesson learned. I swear I didn't have to do this with the Sony F3 footage or the P2 footage or the XDCAM footage that I've previously AMA'd from files copied to the RAID, but maybe I did and this is just a lesson RE-learned.

Disk drive throughput could be affected by the larger bandwidth. That could slow things down performance wise.

Look under QT prefs to see if "use high quality render when available" is checked.

If you're viewing interlaced footage on a computer's progressive display, you'll see jagged lines as the fields get squashed together. This won't happen on a broadcast monitor.

In addition, if the file can't be played at 1:1 resolution to the computer display, then any scaling on either interlaced or progressive material can introduce artifacts with any player.

Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Render Test Here's a new take that seems like BS?

 

The memory footprint of large media like 1:1 should be higher than 10:1 or
other older codecs like Meridien.
While heavily compressed media like 15:1s and 10:1 have higher CPU overhead
the processing is not much compared to modern codecs and they are very easy
memory wise.

So something to consider

[Avid-L2] OT - Quicktime Player Pro & anomalies

It's understood that Quicktime Player Pro is better, more accurate than the default Qt Player. I have some HD ProRes files I made in FCP from a prosumer camera card that on a client's 2 yr old Mac (default Qt Player) play with bad jaggies.* The footage is fine when I play it on my system in Qt Player Pro. * I can replicate this in OS 10.7.3 with the default Qt Player.

I can tell here things like my set-up is a truer reflection of what is really there and don't worry, but she's freaked and I'd like to offer a more informed, definitive explanation. What would that be?

p.s. I did an edit on site recently where a exported FCP seq (ProRes I *think*) had weird (colorized or blown out) 1st frames after each edit in Quicktime Player Pro but looked fine in the default Qt Player and After Effects. The lesson… Quicktime Player Pro is better, more accurate except when it's not? :-)

Thanks,

Paul

[Avid-L2] FR: Bins and Folder creation

 

It would be a great time save to have new bins and folders created directly inside an existing folder,
rather than on the top level of a project, and having to move them.

thanks,

[Avid-L2] Re: Render Test Here's a new take that seems like BS?

 

I think you're missing the issue. It's not how long it takes to render it is being proposed that because the renders in offline were done to 1:1, a fact I can not confirm, the sequence response is slow. I'm well aware of how heavy layers slow down a sequence but it's never in my experience been related to the resolution of renders.
