Diff one frame when outputing via edit to tape.

So.... my problem is simply that the video I am outputing via edit to tape is diffing one frame in maybe 50% of the times. This makes my job a little more stressful in deadline situations.
How do I solve this problem?
/Tobias

Thank you Shane,
This is my specs:
codec: AJA VUY
tape: digibeta
capture card: aja cona LH
FCP: 6.0.4
QT: 7.5
Yes exactly, my movie starts at 10:00:00:01 if Im not so lucky, but that happens randomly, maybe 50% of the times. In bigger timelines this can cause big delays.
I have tried changing frame offset in playback control and changed the playback offset in the Device control Preset, back and forward, without any result.
This man, Marcus, seems to have the same problem.

Text graphics are offset by one frame. Footage clips are in place but text graphics are off by one frame when output.

Any thoughts?

Here is a start. The program is used to make precise transitions and is not. Everything looks fine in the timeline previews, then get garbled by one frame when output.

Edit to Tape... intermitant error with start T/C

Having a problem using assemble & insert edit.. when outputting using Edit to Tape with a start T/C at 01:00:00:00, the first frame often starts at 00:59:59:24 (PAL so that's one frame early).. doesn't happen all the time, but enough to be really annoying...
Am using a KONA LS video card with a black burst generator. First noticed the problem years ago with a DSR11 outputting to DVCAM and assumed it was probably an issue with the DVCAM deck being useless, but this is happening with a DVW500.. so it's rather annoying as it causes all sorts of problems with audio finish etc.

timecode needs to be set to internal regen after you preset and stripe about 10 seconds ahead of your sequence start time. so if you need to start bars at 58;30;00 start stripe at 58;20;00 and go past 58;30;00. then do your assemble with deck set to internal regen.
FCP does not output TC

How do I use the brush tool on a video in cs6? It only stays on one frame?

How do I get what I create with the brush tool to stay on every frame in my video? I've got some footage of a car trip and I'm trying to use the brush tool to make a super 8 looking border, but it vanishes when I play the video because its only on one frame.

When Photoshop just won't work properly, try replacing the Preferences file by using this procedure:
Open Photoshop and save your custom goodies. Choose Edit→Presets→Preset Manager to save sets of styles, brushes, and other such bits and pieces you created. Use the Save Actions command in the Actions palette menu to save any sets of custom Actions.
Review your Preferences. Open Photoshop's Preferences and go through each pane, noting your preferred settings so that you can restore your work environment later.
Quit Photoshop. You can close the program like this:
On a Mac: Hold down Command+Shift+Option and restart Photoshop. When prompted, release the modifier keys and confirm, that yes, you do want to replace the Photoshop settings.
On a PC: Restart Photoshop; immediately press and hold down Ctrl+Shift+Alt. When prompted, release the modifier keys and confirm, that yes, you do want to replace the Photoshop settings.

Ae cs5 importing seq images all blacked out or only one frame - help

I created a pan background and keyframed it and it is working fine. I then brought in pngs with transparent background as a seq and the image is all black when they imported into ae cs5 once one image was brought in correctly (the first image of the seq). I have batch converted to psds with same results. What am I doing worng importing in seq to work over the pan background?
And I have tried PSD image sequence file - it only brings in one frame.

I just did some tests. If you export the png's using the save for web and other devices and png 24 then things work fine with grayscale images. If you save grayscale images as png's directly then the png's are aparently saved as png 8's so they won't work properly in After Effects. Any pixel not completely white is rendered black.
To be honest I've never run into this before. It may be worthy of a bug report.
I'm not sure what technique you're using to remove the background from the originals but a jpg made from the original png file can be used as an Luma Inverted matte on a black solid to create the transparency. A little adjustment to the jpg sequence with levels will clean up most of the garbage. This would give you an acceptable result without resorting to a bunch of processing to try and create transparent pngs.

Shift audio by less than one frame?

Greetings!
Newbie to FCP. I have Standard DV tapes of concerts, very long clips (from 20 minutes to more than one hour), and I want to replace the audio with wonderful 24/96 carefully recorded audio done in Logic Pro. I have been able to sync the audio to video in FCP, but only to within one frame (when I drag the audio, it moves at one-frame jumps). I can sync much more closely in Logic, but how do I get the video with new sync'ed audio back into the FCP timeline? And would this degrade the video as I go round-trip from FCP to Logic?
Is there any way I can move audio tracks in FCP by less than one frame?
If not, can anyone suggest the best workflow to accomplish this?
Thanks to all in advance!

This should help:

Cannot output HDV seq to tape

I have a Z1 camera connected via Firewire, and am trying to Print to Video a 1080i50 sequence. The inputs on the camera are set correctly. I have successfully printed to video many times in DV format - this is the first time I have attempted to output in HDV. I am using FCP v6.0.6.
In the A/V devices tab of Audio/Video Settings, in the Video Output list, I am only given the option of None, or Digital Cinema Desktop. All the flavors of HDV are listed, but are greyed out. Also, if I uncheck Different Output for Print-to-Video, it resets itself to checked the next time I look. I cannot set the View/External Video to All Frames - it remains set at Off no matter what I do. I suspect that here is the root of the problem - the video is not getting out of the computer to the recording deck.
I have only one external drive containing the sequence footage connected to the computer - I have previously experienced problems when multiple drives were connected.
Does anyone know where I may be going wrong?

Jim: Sony HDV 1080i50 is set as the device control, although I don't think device control is used when printing to video. The recorder is started manually.
Thrillcat: The settings are correct on the camera for HDV when trying to record an HDV sequence, and yes, the sequence is HDV. I can successfully connect my DSR-11 DV-only deck and record to it from FCP, even recording a DV output directly from the HDV sequence.
Sharon: I'm checking the A/V devices settings right before I go. The problem seems to be that although FCP is acknowledging there is an HDV device connected, it is not letting me connect to any of them (the list of HDV device options is greyed out). Consequently all subsequent actions will not work (like selecting All Frames in the View menu). I need to find out why that list is greyed out.
If I check Different Output for Edit-to-Tape/Print-to-Video, the list of HDV devices is available, but I get a warning asking me to check external connections to the device, (as this output does not go to the Firewire output and I have no alternative video card installed). If I try to proceed further, I get a warning that "The sequence is not compatible with HDV Print to Video". However, the sequence is a correct 1080i50 sequence.

Edit to tape

Hello, when i using "Edit to tape" (BTC SP), final cut plays only one track, but i need plays two tracks, because in the second track are subtitles. Can i make any settings or final cut dont support plays more tracks at Edit to tape? Thanks for your idea and answer.

Are you talking VIDEO tracks or AUDIO tracks? FCP always outputs a video signal that contain ALL video tracks. But it defaults to TWO audio tracks, in Stereo, unless you tell it different.
Go to the SEQUENCE menu and choose SETTINGS. Click on the AUDIO tab. There you can choose how many channels of audio you need to output, and if they are stereo or Mono.
Now, on the timeline, right-click between the lock and the autoselect button on the AUDIO tracks...on the left. THis is how you assign what audio track gets sent to what audio CHANNEL when outputting.
I think a video tutorial might be in order on this.

Having trouble with audio edit to tape, print to video ok

Hi all, please go easy on me, this is my first post.
I am having difficulty getting audio on to tape via 'edit to tape'.
The hardware is blackmagic decklink extreme, feeding component video and analoge audio to a UVW-1800P.
I can do a print to video on a crash record and the audio works that way, but edit to tape does not.
I have tried both deck link and built in audio in the audio settings and the FCP a/v settings, seperate and ganged output settings, I have set the insert settings to 2 channel Sony, reloaded the decklink drivers.
The irritating thing is the audio is there whilst cutting, but as soon as I try edit to tape there is complete silence. The important thing is that it worked a few weeks back but does not now, it must be a setting?
Thanks in advance for your help.
This machine I am working with this week is an Intel MacPro running FCP 5.1.2 and Mac OS 10.4.8
G5 Dual 2GHz-Blackmagic Decklink Pro, G3 with Sonnet G4 upgrade Mac OS X (10.4.8)
G5 Dual 2GHz-Blackmagic Decklink Pro, G3 with Sonnet G4 upgrade Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I had this same problem and this resolved it for me:
-Go to your "Settings" icon and click on the "General" tab.
-About 2/3 way down the page you will see "Use side switch to:" - make sure "mute" is checked rather than "lock rotation."
-Then make sure the side switch, located next to the volume toggle switch on the side of your ipad, is moved to the right (no red dot showing).
My audio worked fine in embedded videos after I did those two things. Hope it works for you.

Edit to Tape Greyed Out

I'm trying to layoff a ProRes 422 720p sequence to my Panasonic Standard Def AJSD93 deck. I have it downconverted thru my AJA i/o box...but for some reason when I open edit to tape and go to drop my sequence on the drop zone for assemble or insert...BOTH are greyed out. Any ideas what could be going on???
Thanks in advance for your help!

Did you ever use this deck for insert or assemble whatever signal?
Because a quick google gave me this : " ...this deck can't be used to insert edit.
The output of an edited sequence from Avid or Final Cut Pro onto tape can only be done as a straight recording from the editing application, so the timeline's timecode can't be accurately transferred to the tape...."
(see
http://www.dv.com/reviews/reviews_item.php?articleId=161502534
for the complete review.)
So it seems the only way to this is "print to video"...

Help...Edit to tape?? Not working...

Hey all...
I'm trying to output my timeline through Firewire to my DV/DVCam firewire deck.
Everytime I try, FCP comes back with " Incompatable Compression settings..." yada yada..
Have to start at a precise timecode but FCP won't output.
My settings are DV NTSC, video playback and Audio are both Apple Firewire and FireWire DV repectively, and in the A/V device tab playback is on firewire. I also tried checking the "Different Output for edit to tape...." and set it to firewire also.
Still keep getting this error.
FCP will Print to Video but that leaves a second or so offset from the timeline on the tape.
The tape has to match the recorder.
Any Ideas?
Thanks in Advance.
-Rob

There's this SimpleViodeoOut program that can lay back DV-stream with timecode on tape.
It's on apple's Developers sites.
http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/samplecode/SimpleVideoOut/index.html
•Download the SampleViodeoOut Sample Code.
•Open the downloaded SimpleVideoOut.Zip
•In the SimpleVideoOut-folder that comes up, double click on the SimpleVideoOut.sit.
• An new 'SimpleVideoOut Folder' comes up. In there you'll find a SimpleVideoOut for OSX version.
Well: First export your sequence from the FCP timeline (Make sure the timeline has the Timecode you desire). Export as Self Contained movie, as DV.
Open Simple VideoOut and drag your movie in the required box...
Everything runs automaticcally from there... (Starting to record on the beginning of your tape...)

Jittery motion when editing to tape via Blackmagic SD

I have a situation that has me a bit perplexed, and I'm hoping one of you gurus can help. We will shoot DVCAM footage, capture into FCP (now at v5.03, but this occurred with earlier versions as well), and then export a quicktime movie (not using QuickTime conversion). I then bring the movie into After Effects, and do some compositing work, and render using Uncompressed 8 bit settings. I create a new sequence in FCP with matching settings (uncompressed 8 bit), and import the movie file I created in AE. Everything looks great on my computer monitor, but when I edit to tape, any moving objects (either effects or people in the video) jitter visibly when viewed on my broadcast monitor, and the resulting BetaSP tape. There are no unrendered sections of the sequence, and the the frame dominance is the same on the imported clip and the sequence.
I can apply the de-interlace filter in FCP, and that improves the image somewhat, but it's still visible.
Any suggestions?

... and the the frame dominance is the
same on the imported clip and the sequence.
it seems that the filed dominance is wrong:
upper or lower field dominace is determined by your blackmagic card and the codec used.
in your sequence settings use easy setup to load the correct settings for the codec you are using with your blackmagic card. after that, read what the field dominance is set to. use the same field dominance when rendering in AE.
good luck,
kurt

I have an image sequence in JPG and when I select open image sequence, select all does not work and I can only highlight one frame at a time. I want to import these frames into QT7 to make a time lapse clip. Any suggestions

I have an image sequence in JPG that I want to import into quitck time 7 for making a time lapse clip.   It has an option to open the image sequence, but when I do, it only lets me highlight one frame at a time. The select all option seems to do nothing when I click on it trying to highlight all the frames.
      If QT7 is not designed to perform this function, is there another alternative?   iMovie is non intuitive for this kind of operation and I cannot find a clear tutorial for using it to make time lapse clips from a sequence of still frames.
       The tutorials Ive found on YouTube are well intended, but they all seem to leave out a vital step that eludes detection.
Anyway, any help appreciated.
Thanks
   I am new to this forum and I'm not sure I can locate this thread again once I'm out of it.

Yes, I tried that.   The files were ordered by their original numbers as imported from the camera, but I batched them through Phocoshop to downsize all of them into a more manageable file size.   I opened that destination folder from quick time from where it said select image sequence.   I clicked on the first one and opened it.   The result was a large image with an arrow indicating a movie was ready to go.   When I pressed the arrow, though, I realized it had only imported that one frame so there was no movie.   The files are Jpgs and are about 450 KB each.
    To your knowledge are there any links to iMovie tutorials or quick time tutorials that may address this situation? Maybe there will be one I haven't looked at yet.
    Thanks

cheers

If you used Sequence to Layers, Shift and Control key in the layers palette work just as they would when selecting files in Explorer... If it's a video layer, then you should only see one layer and will have to use the Timeline to navigate.

I want to copy email from my mac to my pc. Forwarding one at a time via email works well, but when I try to forward several of them at a time I receive one large email. I want to receive the emails individually on my pc. Any suggestions?

Don't know any 'automatic' way - but, i have "Fetch Headers only" set on each of my 'secondary accounts'.
With varying internet service, manual "Get Messages" is probably the "Best Practice" because you will know how good your service is before you even try.
maybe set "Check for new messages every 'n' minutes" to different times
(3 minutes, 6 minutes, etc.) on each 'secondary' account.

Diff one frame when outputing via edit to tape.
