FCP6 - been advised to use ProRes HQ but am too late for that I think

Hi Guys
I'm really confused and a bit bewildered - would really appreciate any thought whatsoever on the following.
For some bizarre reason I can't figure out yet, my rapid-edits sports sequences blur/ghost from frame to frame (like a bad frame blending) when I preview the sequence on my Dell monitor from my FCP Canvas. Also, when I choose to export to a Quicktime file using current settings, the blurring/ghosting is preserved once I view the burned DVD.
However, if I choose to select Pro Res 422 as my choice of Quicktime export file instead of keeping current settings, the ghosting seems to go away upon viewing the eventual burned DVD.
My sequence is in a standard Apple ProRes 422 Timeline. Field Dominance Upper. 25fps. HD(1440x1080)
I filmed on a PAL Canon XHA1 50i and captured this as standard Pro Res 422.
I checked the item properties of the sports clips and they match the timeline settings.
1. I have a couple of Motion clips elsewhere in the sequence which have frame size 1920 x 1080, Field Dominance None - could that cause a problem?
2. Is there a danger of losing any picture quality by choosing to export to a standard ProRes 422 1440x1080 Quicktime file rather than choosing to export using 'current settings'?
3.I have been kindly advised to recapture as ProRes HQ but this isn't really feasible for me since I'm at soundmix stage of a 50 minute project (118 one hour tapes). The video for each of the 30 second sports sequences occurs across 3-5 tapes each.
4. My main concern is that by choosing to export my QT file as standard ProRes 422 1440x1080, since it doesn't seem to ghost when I watch the video on my DVD player, will 'locking it' as standard ProRes 422 1440x1080 when I export ensure it won't ghost when playing the DVD on other people's machines?
5. If I really must, is there a way of only* re-capturing the sports footage as ProRes HQ and somehow combining that into my standard ProRes timeline with all the other footage that doesn't blur?
If you can can offer any tips at all I'd really appreciate it.
Warm regards
Peter

My guess is you've shot HDV? And your sequence is HDV Native? HDV is an interframe compression. When things change too fast, HDV sometimes can't keep up. That's my guess about your mushy frames.
When you're exporting ProRes (an intraframe format), the frames are all compressed individually.
My advice - export as ProRes and make your DVD that way. By exporting any format, you don't affect the sequence itself.
You can media manage the quick cut sequences, recapture as ProRes, then cut them back in, but if your ProRes export works, don't bother...

    Did you try turning off iTunes Match (Store>Turn off iTunes Match), then turning it back on?

  • Iba allow others to make text edits. What workflow are you guys using to allow others to make text edits once the iBook has been layed out and formatted?  Is it too late? Do I need to export txt then reimport the editted text and reformat it all again?

    Hi Ken,
    Thanks for the reply. The project I am working on is a test project for a customer. They could potentially want a number of their educational subjects presented as an interactive text book. The intent of this first project with them is to establish a logical workflow that will allow us to efficiently estimate costs and allow for review throughout the design process. Having worked with customers on creative projects in the past I can anticipate that they will want a number of changes made once they see a working version of the interactive text book.
    It is a grim reality that no project can be fully edited and planned prior to working on it and I know revisions and changes are always made once the customer can see their product. It is ok with me if there is no easy way to pass the text back and forth from the customer and me without having to reformat everything but I just want to know that is the way it works in order to provide a realistic time estimate for the project.
    My hope was I would be able to export the formatted text, allow them to make edits and then reimport that formatted text. The style sheets I am using are from one of the iBooks Author templates.
    Do you know if there is a way to use (or export ) this style sheet so it can be used in a Pages Document?
    Or, would the best option be to have the customer install iBooks Author? This would require the customer to have a mac and the software so it doesn't work for all cases.
    Another idea I was considering would be to export the book as a PDF and have the customer add markup and notes to the PDF.
    All of these options do not seem too great to me.
    I am open to any ideas.
    Thanks,
    Rob

  • HT5022 I'm trying to add a "new client" to my wireless network using Airport Utility, but I can't find that option in the new version.  I've downloaded all available updates of the OS and the utility..  Help!

    I'm trying to add my HP wireless printer as a "new client" to my wireless network using Airport Utility, but I can't find that option in the new version.  I've downloaded all available updates of the OS and the utility..  Help!

    Why would you need to ADD a new Client. Unless the APE sytem is completely different then any other Wireless router the printer should get an IP address from the router. That is IF the printer is setup to get an IP from the LAN DHCP server.
    Now you may want to make that IP it does get a Staticly assign IP address so it never changes, which will screw up printing if it does change. But i don't know if you can do that with APE routers.

    Hi,
    I am using two models with diffrent diffrent jcos for that. Is there any problem in that ?
    Regards,
    Gurprit Bhatia

    Hi,
    JCOs are made per system (R3).
    If your two models are calling two different R3 system then it is fine. But if both of your models are pointing to the same R3 system then you should have only one JCO.
    This will improve the performance as JCO connections are pooled in the application server and re-used.

  • A few months ago I purchased Snow Leopard, but realized too late that I already had Snow Leapord.  What I need is Snow Lion upgrade.  I did not open the software.  Will they refund refund this or exchange it for the Snow Lion upgrade?

    A few months ago I purchased Snow Leopard, but realized too late that I already had Snow Leapord.  What I need is Snow Lion upgrade.  I did not open the software.  Will they refund refund this or exchange it for the Snow Lion upgrade?  Thanks!

    All Updates to Snow Leopard are gotten from Software Update or from the Apple download site.
    There is no Snow "LION". there is Lion and now Mountain Lion buit both of those are Download Only from the Mac App Store. You need to have Snow Leopard 10.6.6, .7 or .8 to have the Mac Apple store link on your Mac.
    To get Lion you need to call the Apple Store, 1-800-MYAPPLE, and order it. They will send you a download code to your Apple ID Email address so you can download it from the Mac Appl Store.
    Oh and when you call them to order Lion ask about returning Snow Leopard.

  • I kept trying to log in my apple ID to use FaceTime app but it always shows me that an error encountered while logging in your ID try it later,but I am using the same ID on my iPad as well as on my iPhone they are working perfectly fine tell me solution ?

    I kept trying to log in my apple ID to use FaceTime app but it doesnt allow me to log in for using facetime. Whereas I have been using the same ID as I am using here on my Macbook pro but it doesnt go through especially for using facetime app.
    Please tell me how to solve this issue.
    Thanks..!

    Eric,
    None of this has worked.
    My Apple ID and password work with everything else. I have a good Internet connection. No Firewall active from my IMac.
    LIke I said, I haven't installed anything recently and FaceTime ver. 1.0.5 on OS X 10.6.8 was working fine prior to yesterday.
    I restarted my IMac to run Mavericks and FaceTime 3.0 under OS X 10.9.4 is working and I was able to login and use FaceTime on Mavericks with no problem.
    For some unknown reason FaceTime on IOS and on my Mac were asking me to login into FaceTime when I haven't had to do this for quite sometime.
    Older FaceTime 1.0.5 all of a sudden has decided to be a problem with login on my IMac under Snow Leopard.
    The only thing left I am going to try is the two-step Apple ID verification process where I can use a app specific password, but Apple makes you wait three days before completing the two-step verification.
    If this doesn't work, then I do not know what will solve this issue and now I made my Apple ID login process more complicated than I really wanted it to be.
    I purposely stayed away from using the two-step ID verification login.

  • Using a hierarchy but also showing work orders that are not in hierarchy

    good morning bi people,
    i have a requirement to show data from a hierarchy which includes Operation and Maintenance information. for example it has an account broken into labour/material/trucking and below this is the pm acivity type and secondary cost element (concatenated). this hierarchy is a manually created hierarchy that is uploaded to BW and is not in ECC. The users do not want to see the concatenated field at the end of the hierarchy, but instead, want to see the Work Orders that have the PM activity types.
    At the present time, we have the report using the hierarchy but we need the work orders to replace the pm activity type/secondary cost element concatenated field. the work order field is a free characteristic and when we drag in the work order in analyzer, it works correctly.
    1) is this possible to use the hierarchy and somehow map the work order field to the end of the hierarchy within crystal?
    2) do you have a suggestion to change the hierarchy, without being a manual nightmare?
    all conversations are welcome.
    Erik

    Good Day Ingo,
    i have created a word document with screen shots of the hierarchy from BW, a screen shot of the BEx showing the free characteristic of Maintenance Order and a screen shot of the crystal report with the PM Activity type concatenated to the Cost Element. Once again, we do not wish to see the concatenated field, but rather see the Maintenance orders that have a PM Activity type the same as the concatenated field. 
    here is the link.

  • HT2417 my iphone 4s voice messages repeatedly disappear and reappear at random. When they do reappear, I cannot listen to them. Sometimes, they eventually come through but usually too late to respond

    I have an iphone 4s with Sprint. Ever since I switched from my iphone 3G with ATT, I have had incredible frustration with the voicemail system. Periodically, my voicemails on the new phone disappear; all messages old and new. This occurs out of the blue. Similarly they at times reappear, but the new messages have no content and all show up as 0.00minutes. Randomly, some messages retrieve their content and I can listen to them, often too late to respond to the caller. This is very annoying and almost questions why the voicemail exists at all. I have taken the phone to Sprint multiple times and performed countless resets with no recourse, hence they suggested contacting Apple. Has anyone else experienced this or know of a viable solution? iOS is up to date, phone only used in USA
    Thanks

    I had not updated my Itunes in a while. when i got my mac i updated it to the latest version and i guess i set up i cloud but I have no idea how to use it. i have 1163 songs in my itunes library but they literally only show up some times and others they dont. it says i have all those songs in my music library on my phone but then half of them dont play and i dont understand why? most of my songs have a little cloud next to them like they need to be downloaded but i dont understand????
    I just want all my music on my phone.
    my phone also cant back up to icloud becase there is no storage but i have 3 backups under my back up and i dont know what to do? i lost my phone recently and i think it still has my old back up but i dont wanna delete that one cause im scared its gonna delete everything and i just really dont know what to do.
    does anyone know if im doing something wrong or what i can do to back up to my old back up or what?
    my contacts also always change names. or i put a number in my phone and it literally disappears 2 minutes later. ill save the number again and it does it again but then i look back in a ciuple of weeks and i have 4 of the same contact. its very frustrating

    Did you enable the "Find my..." function BEFORE you lost it?

  • Firefox CONSTANTLY has a yellow bar on top of my screen nagging me to upgrade adobe flash but my processor is way too slow for that upgrade.

    I am on an older computer that works just fine, but the processor is too slow for the flash upgrade, nor do I have the other system requirements. What can I do to get rid of this nagging bar? I do not mind upgrading to a lower version of flash, providing it is light on memory;but don't know how to or where to get it. I have seen some archives of older versions but they require knowledge of how to do zip files, or how to do the download as it isn't automatic. I currently have something called "shockwave flash 9.0.45.0". The names are another confusing thing. They talk about shockwave flash, adobe flash player, adobe flash; are they all the same thing?
    michelle

    cor-el, thanks for your input. The problem I keep having is that I can't get the system requirements for any of the flash versions except 11, the latest. I have looked on a number of sites as well as adobe. There is no point to download something that won't work with my system, and overloads my memory. My processor is a pentium 3, about 927 mhz. The service pack is 2.
    Another problem I keep having is that for the older versions they keep telling me to "unzip" the file. I don't know what that means, or of course, how to do it.
    Really need some help and understandable directions as am new to computers. This one works great, and I resent these companies putting me in the position of having to buy a new computer just so I can get their newest programs, which in reality are often not as good as the old ones. I cannot afford another computer.

  • Now i cannot see my bookmarks toolbar icons in firefox 4, i could before but now the images have dissapeared, i can still use the bookmarks, but have to wait for the box to come up explaining wich link it is to know what im choosing

    i had my bookmarks tab set up to show no names of bookmarks just the icons, the button is still there but i cant see any icon, the link works fine, the only issue here is the icon does not show so i cannot decipher between the links unless i hover over each button and wait for the message details

    Did you edit the names to clear them or did you use other means like an extension or code in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css userChrome.css] ?

  • Local DNS uses .local suffix, but Apple doesn't like that?

    Hi all,
    I've had a 20gb classic for a while now, and upgraded to a 32gb Touch today but I think I've run into a g-glitch
    First off, yes I am a nerd, and I have more complexity in my home network than a lot of businesses... That's what you get when you work in Network Security I guess!
    My home network uses the domain fukawi2.local for everything, so I have a DNS server and DNS records for everything such as:
    desktop.fukawi2.local
    laptop.fukawi2.local
    touchpod.fukawi2.local
    proxy.fukawi2.local
    etc... But anytime I try to use and of these names, the iPod Touch locks up for a long while, and then barfs. I've been doing some traffic tracing, and when I'm using *.fukawi2.local, I don't even see any DNS requests be made to my DNS server. I do see requests when opening GMail or the App Store etc.
    IIRC, I remember reading somewhere a while ago that Apple treats .local domains differently using Bonjour or something similar? Is that correct? Is there anyway around this? (ie, disable it on the iPod) or do I have to use IP Addresses for everything?
    TIA

    Thanks for the KB article luvlabs - I tried to find it but ".local" was treated as "local" by the search I was using so it returned a lot of irrelevant material
    That might be one solution that I'll have to look at if I can't get the iPod to treat .local as a normal domain - create a *.fukawi2.ipod domain or something and just point them to the equivalent *.fukawi2.local name (ie, proxy.fukawi2.ipod -> proxy.fukawi2.local)
    (and I'm fairly proficient with networking and Linux, but certainly far from an expert with Apple products! ;P )
