Differences in Date/Time info between FCP 7 and FCP X?

Please bear with me as I have hardly touched FCP 7 in the past 2 years, so most of what little I knew has now been forgotten!
Yesterday I captured an old 2002 Mini-DV PAL tape into FCP X.
The tape consisted of:-
1. Some original clips as they were shot.
2. Projects (edited in iMovie 2) using those clips, which had then been exported back onto the tape.
As expected, FCP X recognised the embedded info on the original clips and separated them together with details of their date and time.
What really surprised me was that the edited videos were also broken down into their original clips, complete with date and time.
This latter point would have been great except for one thing  .  .  .  .  FCP X automatically arranged all the clips on the tape in order of their original shooting time and date.
This meant that all the projects were separated into their component clips and these were put alongside the original clips, thus mixing them up.
Furthermore, as you know, the clips in a project rarely appear in chronological order, so by separating them chronologically the projects were even more mixed up!!!!!!!  The projects have  effectively been turned into a jigsaw puzzle.
To get round this problem, I have just recaptured the tape in one take in FCP 7 which thankfully kept everything in the  correct order.
Now here is the question:- 
Is it possible, after using DV Start/Stop Detect and Make Subclip to find the original date and time it was shot?
You see how much I have forgotten.
Yet another peculiarity, is that whilst DV Start/Stop Detect can separate out the original clips that were shot, unlike FCP X it just recognises each project as a single clip.

Thanks for the response Michael.
Shortly after posting, fragments of my memory returned and I also remembered that FootTrack does a similar job.
As mentioned above, FCP X does very much the same and also does it excellently.
The only reason it didn't suit my tapes was because, unusually, I had put up to 3 or 4 versions of finished projects (containing the same basic clips)  on the same tape, which meant that after capturing a tape in one go, I ended up with  hundreds of clips containing up to 3 or 4 sets of identical clips jumbled up in a frightening video jigsaw.
Normally, FCP X is excellent but due to my peculiar use of old tapes, it fell down.
There would have been no problem if it had provided  multiple identical clip names if it had kept them in the order they were on the tape and not insisted on automatically re-arranging them.
Given time, I could have sorted them but simply recapturing, though a lengthy process, was much quicker and sanity saving.

  • Difference in data transfer rates between winXP and Linux server?

    Hello all,
    I am using a winXP laptop to act as my server (all usb external hard drives are connected to it) but the data transfer rates can be really slow. Is Linux faster in that regard? Can a Linux based server provide faster data transfer rates?
    Thanks for any help.
    Bmora96

    Linux cannot make hardware go any faster - so if WinXP and its drivers are making optimal use of those USB drives and the USB data transfer pipe, Linux will not make it faster. (but installing Linux and going Tux are always excellent ideas that need no real reason either ;-) )
    Real question you should be asking is if using a notebook in a server role is wise thing to do?

    The LVM Express VI was designed to be easy to used. To facilitate this, data formats are fixed and cannot be set by the user in the Express VI. You have several options to get the format you want.
    If you don't need all the header information in the LVM file, roll your own code. If you are only saving one line of code at a time, this is particularly easy. You will also need to write your own read code, assuming you are not just using Excel or something similar.
    Use the formatting capabilities of your analysis program to create the date code. Excel, for example, is perfectly happy to generate a time/date string based on a simple number. You may have to convert from LabVIEW absolute time to Excel absolute time, but that is fairly trivial. You can make a macro to do this.
    If you need the LVM header info, write the file using no data to get the header, then fill in your data with your own formatting. Read-back will be harder, since you will need to write that yourself. However, you can probably get most of the info from the LVM file read (maybe with an error), then read your own formatted data from the end of the file.
    WARNING: this one dives into vi.lib code. While you cannot change the formatting in the top level of an LVM file, the subroutines do take formats on a per-column basis. So, you can modify the original code to do what you want. Open the front panel, then search for ex_SignalsToSprdsheetStr.vi. Give it the format string you want and you are off. Note that this format will be in place everywhere you use the LVM code unless you save the entire hierarchy to a different location (using Save With Options->Development Distribution, include vi.lib files). Be very careful with this. You can easily get into cross-linking problems (linking VIs from the wrong location).
    One final comment. You can find the specification for the LVM file format in Specification for the LabVIEW Measurement File (.lvm), Version 1.0. It includes everything you didn't want to know about the LVM file format.

  • General workflow between FCS and FCP question....

    Hey all.
    I'm totally new to FCS, and while in a few hours I've figured out a lot about how it works, what is totally eluding me is how to establish an efficient work flow back and forth between FCS and FCP...it's really driving me crazy.
    Yeah, I know, read the manual...but nothing I'm finding anywhere seems to be a really direct, straight-up description of how to get a FCP project up and running.
    Specifically I am dealing with the whole "checking out" a project thing, creating proxies, etc., it just feels very awkward. The test project I'm working with has 1 (ONE!) clip (granted a 28GB HD clip)...but FCS is not allowing me to make a proxy into the cache, this is after I already took that clip into FCP, cut it, saved it, checked it back into FCS just to make sure I got the basics of flowing back and forth down.
    I wish I could be more specific, but I really really really just want a basic explanation of how to use the FCS as, you know, a server.
    Anyone who can point me in that direction is a GOD!
    thanks,
    Mark

    Hi,
    I just lost one AP from vWLC and found this trap:

  • Colour difference between color and FCP

    i have edited in FCP doing no colour correction at all then i have sent it to color using the
    file send to color option
    done my colour correction and sent it back using the
    send to final cut pro option
    no i am really happy with the colours in color using pri in, sec in, colorFX and pri out, rendered it all but when i send it back to FCP everything is redder well pinkish then what it looks like in color
    am i doing something wrong at all
    i have tried to adjust the amount of red in color then render and send back but it still looks the same.
    im lost can anyone please help
    adam

    Yes, you are doing something incredibly wrong. This non-issue is rearing it's ugly head so much it's nauseating. What you are seeing is the display differences between Color and Final Cut Pro. Do a search on all the Color forums and you'll find a host of very similar threads to yours.
    The solution is to use a real input/output device like an Aja Kona or Blackmagic Decklink card and send the video signal to a production monitor. Those of us using this infrastructure see none of this non-issue that other users who are relying upon their highly inaccurate computer displays are seeing.
    You are at a disadvantage however as there is currently no accurate way to get external monitoring capabilities out of an iMac as it is woefully lacking in expansion capabilities.

  • Convert date/time to HEX command and write to a bin file

    Hello,
    I have to do the following thing. I have the date/time string, let's say 08:45:23, 12.08.09, where the hour, the minutes, the seconds, the day, the month and the year represent hex number or in other words I have the following command:
    Byte 0 - Byte 5
    0x08; 0x45; 0x23; 0x12; 0x08; 0x09;
    Now I want to write this command in a binary file in order to send thefile later throught serial RS232 connection.
    Now, I am not sure whether I write the command in the binary file in the correct format. What I simply do is to write it as a string
    ("084523120809"). Is this the correct way. I guess no, because when transmitted it does not work as expected.
    How can I write this string as a HEX command in the binary file?
    Thanks for the replies in advance

    Do you know the difference between decimal and hex values? It's not the same, that the whole point, and it's why it doesn't make sense. Decimal 32 is not the same as hex 32. These are two different values, even though they both have the digits "3" and "2". The hex value will be the same as the decimal value up to the value of 9. In your example the hour is 8. In decimal this is 8, in hex this is 8. The minutes is 45. That's decimal. In hex, this is 2D, not 45, as you claim in your example. Hex 45 is a completely different number (and a completely different "pattern").

  • Color discrepancy with imported PSD between Motion and FCP

    I've got a Motion project with an imported PSD file as a background element (the PSD was created in Photoshop CS2 for Windows, running under Parallels).
    The PSD file consists of two overlapping curved shapes, one blue, one green (part of our corporate look). The colors (RGB) match our official guidelines.
    I imported the Motion project to FCP and placed it on the timeline, on V1. In FCP, I then used a color generator to create a small blue rectangle which would serve as a border for a slightly smaller thumbnail image that would get overlaid later on. The rectangle is on V2. I used the exact same RGB values for it as I did in Photoshop for the curved shape.
    Trouble is, the blue color in the shape that got imported into FCP inside the Motion project doesn't match the generated color.
    See this screenshot, in FCP:
    http://elamaton.no-ip.com/~jarkko/colordiscrepancymotion.png
    Three blues: leftmost, the color generator resized to a small rectangle; on the center, the shape that I created in Photoshop and imported into a Motion project, dropped into FCP; rightmost, an instance of Photoshop CS2 running in a virtual WinXP in Parallels Desktop. You'll notice that the blues of the generator and Photoshop match, but the middle shape that travelled the CS2->Motion->FCP route is a different shade.
    Narrowing it down further, I decided to import the PSD file directly into FCP (just to see if it'd match - it needs to go through Motion for the final product). Here's a screengrab of Canvas this time:
    http://elamaton.no-ip.com/~jarkko/colordiscrepancy_motion2.png
    Again, from left to right: the generated rectangle, the directly imported PSD, the PSD in the imported Motion project. The first two match, but something in Motion or the Photoshop->Motion route screws up the colors of the blue-green shape (as well as the Työterveyslaitos logo on the top left, also a PSD, in the same Motion project). The blue shade is also incorrect in the Motion canvas, pre-import to FCP.
    What's going on here, and how can I fix things?
    The project settings are PAL DV in both FCP and Motion. No rendering has been done, I'm importing the .motn into FCP as-is.
    Any help is greatly appreciated, deadlines loom...

    First, double-check that your PSD is in RGB, but I suspect it it or it wouldn't even work in FCP. I suspect a gamma issue moving between the apps:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93794
    You might try setting the colorspace in FCP to RGB or adding a gamma filter in Motion to adjust.

    Reverse the order.
    You generally specify a range from LOW to HIGH. Or in dates, EARLIER to LATER.
    You've done the reverse.

  • Best way to work between Motion and FCP

    I use Motion on occasion but always seem to run into a problem when I export projects to .mov files and import into FCP as the same. The files always show up in FCP but if I return back to Motion to edit the Motion Project I get an alert that say that file is in use. Should I just import the whole .motn file into and FCP and render after or is there a better way? Any ideas would be helpful.

    Hi Buck,
    if you export your motion project as a mov file you create an independent file with properties selected prior export. That file becomes independent from all applications and will remain even if you delete the project it originated from. On the contrary, if you import a Motion Project into FCP it will always depend on and reference its native editor.
    If you are using a previously exported mov file within both Motion (say you re-imported it, apply changes and try to save it with same name) and FCP at the same time then you may get the warning that the file is in use.
    Any change you make in Motion to your .motn project should update within FCP timeline instantly.

  • Font size problems between Motion and FCP

    I created a custom Final Cut Pro title in Motion. I set the font size to 110 pixels. My custom title works great, with one exception. The 110 pixel font in my custom title doesn't match the size of 110 pixel fonts in other titles. I double checked the font specs between the two titles, and they are identical. But, the font in my custom title is much bigger (view screen shot). How do I fix this?

    Hi Jim,
    I found the problem. When I right click a text template in FCP and select "open in Motion", the template dimensions are 1920p X 1080p. My original custom templates were 1280p X 720p. So, I didn't realize I was toggling between different template sizes.
    Thanks for you input though.
