Film transfer from COLOR

Hi,
I'm a student film maker just completed shooting my diploma project on RED ONE and planned the entire workflow on FINAL CUT STUDIO. It's just seemless but the final output should be delivered on FILM.
My questions:
Which FILM RECORDER should be used?
I have contacted a studio which uses baselight as they grading/coloring tool and AatonK as their recorder. Is there any recalibration of the recorder to be done to use it with footage corrected by color?
Which monitor / projector should be used to preview the exact output?
Is there anything else I need to know?
Thanks in advance ....

I can't say I've evaluated output from an Aaton.
You may find some economy trying to find a facility offering Celco film recorders, which is a CRT-based technology. If you can strike a deal with a company that offers ArriLaser, you won't get a better product -- but these devices are in demand and come with a premium price for services. As far as prepping the media for output to film - every facility will have its own secret sauce, as it will be utterly dependent on about a couple of thousand variables that you have no control over. Film stock varies slightly between batches, chemistry is mixed on a daily basis, bath temperatures can wobble depending on the time of day...you get the idea.
Firms that offer Baselight as a grading solution most often have alliances with film labs, if they aren't in fact the same company -- and with that integration they are able to offer a direct-to-fim path that takes all (or as many as possible) variables into account into the custom LUT monitoring that grade judgements are made with. That said, it is still very possible and at critical budget levels, practical, to grade with Apple COLOR (that was what Silicon Color Final Touch was created to do) and forward the media to a lab that understands that the grade was LINEAR, and that it needs to be migrated to a film colorspace. Those paths exist -- but they are unique to individual facilities.
Conceivably, your Apple graded project (dpx file) could be mounted on a Baselight for a final once-over if you do not have a reliable or calibrated monitoring facility.
Your next step is to find one of these businesses that are sympathetic to your situation.
You'll find most film grade theatres have a Barco installed.
Bon chance.

Film transfer from old PC to new iTunes

So a few years ago I purchased a load of films from iTunes (about 8/9 films). And they were on my iTunes account on my old PC which I now no longer have, I recently upgraded to an iMac and when I go onto iTunes I found that I didn't have any of the content I had on my old PC such as music files and films. It's kind of frustrating that there isn't a simple solution to this but let's face it there never is. So if anybody knows how I am able to get these films back it would be a great help. I know before when I was on the same account I was able to purchase something I bought before and I could download it for free but I dont want to accidentally download the wrong thing and have to spend a lot of unwanted money.
Thanks! - Chris
UPDATE: After being told to sign into iTunes with my account and go to the purchases tab I did so however I can only find about 2 purchases on there from the past couple of months and they were apps?! There was absolutely nothing from my old PC which I had purchased, even a music video I purchased a while back wasn't on there. And seeing as I can't contact Apple directly it seems that this forum is the only solution. PLEASE HELP!!

RAID 0 film transfer from 3 drives to one

Have three daisy chained Lacies on FW800 to G4.
Want to transfer Final Cut 4.5 films on those drives to one Lacie drive.
How to do it? Not a backup. The three drives become the backup. Need logged film. Will be a working drive.

disk utility can set drives to raid zero. I have three internals raided together the same way. works well. I recommend posting in a forum other than final cut... but yeah, disk utility! yeah!

How can I capture film clips from my Canon FS200 camcorder into my computer?

I've captured film clips from my Canon FS200 camcorder before so you can understand how frustrated I now feel not being able to do it today. I have just one 30-second clip on the memory card. It plays on my camcorder but I cannot transfer the clip to my computer.
I have an HP desktop computer that's two years old with plenty of hard drive space. I've tried capturing using the memory card inserted into the computer and I've tried using the USB2.0 port. Nothing works anymore. I used to capture with ease using Windows Movie Maker or Photo Gallery.
In the past when the capture was successful I would import the clips into Magix Edit Pro 16 for editing. I could never capture directly into this program though. I hope someone can help me out.

In Windows Movie Maker and Photo Gallery I click on Import From Device or Import Photos and Videos. A box appears but it is empty. The message above the box is, "if you do not see your device..." click Refresh. Refresh doesn't do it.
When I try to import with Magix Edit Pro 16 (a German video editing program) I get the message: "Magix could not connect to selected device."
I have run out of options. I don't know what else to do. This Friday I'm going to do some filming at a ballroom dance but I'm pessimistic about being able to capture the raw video to my computer.
This is an edit later in the day. Now I can capture into Photo Gallery and then into Windows Movie Maker or Magix. But I can only do this with the USB 2.0 connection. When I put the memory card into the computer slot, nothing happens. It used to work. Anyway, I'm glad I can finally do some practice editing again. I'm just in the learning stage with anything graphic.

Hi JasperNM,
You may access a card within the cart reader by mapping a network drive to access it, then you may transfer the fies to your Mac.
First locate the printer IP address as following:
Follow these steps to print a Wireless Network Test Report, the IP address will be listed within that report:
On the control panel, press the Setup button ( ).
Press the Right Arrow button ( ) to scroll to Network Setup , and then press the OK button.
Press the OK button to select Print Network Settings .
Press the Right Arrow button ( ) to scroll to Wireless Test Report , and then press the OK button. The Wireless Network Test Report prints.
Now map a network driver by following the steps below:
Click the Finder icon on your Mac.
Click the Go menu.
Click on Connect to Server.
In the Server Address field enter “smb://ipaddress of the printer” and click on Connect.
You will be prompted to enter the password. leave it as is and click on Connect.
The Memory card will be mounted as a disk in the Finder.

Some movie rentals i can transfer from ipad but most not! Whats the problem? They are all SD.

Some movie rentals i can transfer from ipad but most not! Whats the problem? They are all SD. Some are watched others not. It just seems to be a fluke sometimes that they show up in the rented movies when i sync. And bought movies I always have to manually transfer to my computer!

How did you rent them ? From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657 :
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

Going back to FCP from Color...use original format or ProRes422?

OK, so I've color graded all 5 reels for my feature film and am finally ready to send back to FCP and reassemble! I'm hoping Shane Ross can jump in here too since he's been SO helpful up to this point :-) So I have two different formats which I've graded seperately...720p DVCPROHD stuff (99%) of film and two scenes which were HDV 1080p24. So far when I've sent back my DVCPROHD clips I've rendered out of Color using ProRes422..but my Resolution Presets: and Width & Height settings are what I'm most concerned with. What I've done when sending back to FCP is use Apple ProRes 422 with Width 1280 and Height 720 and changing my Resolution Preset from 720 x 576 DV PAL to 1280 x 720 HD to match the Width and Height settings (not sure if I should leave this at 720 x 576 DV PAL??). However, the clips show up in FCP as 133%..so obviously upscaled. So now I'm going to export the DVCPRO stuff to Compressor to upscale to ProRes422 1920x1080 to bring back and match with the HDV 1080p24 footage before FINAL export to compressor again. Should I not be sending the Color clips back to FCP upscaled to 133% with my Color settings...since I will then again be upscaling in Compressor? Or will it really make that much of a difference? And also, should I check the Broadcast Safe circle in Color when sending back to FCP? I didn't color correct with the Broadcast Safe on so should I now to be on the safe side?
Thanks!
David

Ok Shane, So actually just went over my Color outputs and I did render everything as ProRes 422 at 1280x720 ...and the clips back in FCP are scaled at 100% so that's good...for some reason I remember having some that came back at 133%...maybe that was just a couple clips somewhere that were wrong...I'll figure that out...but I didn't check Broadcast Safe on the renders so I guess I can go back and re-render with broadcast safe on...so we did shoot 720p HD and I AM going back still in HD from Color.
Now I'm having another issue with the HDV 1080p24 stuff...which is actually only 20 shots of the entire film. But for some reason I'm noticing that they are interlaced when viewing on my FCP timeline, which my settings are HDTV 1080i 1920x1080...now when I export the scene out to Compressor as a ProRes 422 1920x1080 .mov it actually looks great on my computer monitor...no interlacing that I can tell, looks great. However, if I drop it onto my FCP 1080i timeline then there is interlacing again...and worse, when I make a SD DVD it is also interlaced...most noticable an actor's shirt, there is a bit of Moire effect going on...this must be because I'm downconverting to 720x486?? So I've been killing myself trying to figure this one out. Doesn't appear that deinterlacing in Compressor helps any either. Is my only option to blur it out with a gaussian blur of around 2? (the HDV clips do show as 1080p24 in FCP) Not sure if the interlacing would be gone if I were to burn a bluray since it's a higher resolution?? My settings in FCP are 1920x1080 HDTV 1080i (16:9) Pixel Aspect: Square, Apple ProRes 422 BTW.
There's also quite a bit of color blurring when watching from a burnt DVD from DVD Studio Pro...wish it looked as good as it does on my LG LED 32" screen with Matrox mini...man, do DVD's really look this bad? REALLY considering going and buying an external BluRay burner today
So if I could just get this interlacing problem resolved somehow...

Everytime I transfer from PSE 11 Editor to Organizer I get a long delay

Everytime I transfer from PSE 11 Editor to teh Organizer I get a long dely with the rainbow colored spinning circle. Does anyone have any ideas on what may be causing this issue. It makes editing a few pitures a very frustrating as I often spend more time waiting on the system than I do editing the photos.

Hi bschep24,
A single license you can install it on two machines using the same serial key but cannot use it simultaneously on both the machines but one at a time.
You can install PS11 from the direct link: http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l .
Kindly follow the very important instructios before download.

Render issues with footage from Color

I'll start off by noting that this issue only happens running Snow Leopard.
I am having terrible problems when trying to apply and render some effects on footage which has come from Color…specifically, the Bad Film filter. Either at the render completion or during the render, I'll get all sorts of "screen draw" problems, like green and pink pixels everywhere. Sometimes they will only appear in the Canvas window, but if I launch any other app, the new app's is nothing but the screen error and the app is useless, thought I think it still functions, though useless to the point that I'm only left with having to restart. Occasionally, it'll throw that error telling me I must restart (in several different languages). I have occasionally had success with very short clips, but anything much more than 30 seconds is useless. I would think this is a hardware issue; however, it only happens under Snow Leopard and is not an issue with Leopard.
I have performed a clean install from a zeroed disk with both 10.5 and 10.6 and upgraded to the latest point release. I'm not really sure where to go from here. Has anyone experienced anything like this? I have the early 2008 8-core 2.8GHz Mac Pro with 16Gigs of RAM and two monitors connected to the ATI HD 2600 XT. I've also tried rebooting to just one monitor, but no dice. I've run hardware tests from TechTools that came with my ACD's AppleCare and all appears rosy. Real Time effects seem to work just fine and I don't have issues with all effects that require rendering. Most befuddling, I'm having no issue on clips that have not first gone through Color. Strange, huh?

Sorry about that.... The footage is ProRes422 1440x1080 going into Color and ProRes422 1920x1080 coming out. I've tried exporting at 8-bit Uncompressed out of Color with the same results.
Originally, this is 24p footage from an HV20 taken to ProRes via this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2410 method.
I'm still just not sure why this only happens in Snow Leopard, while everything works peachy in Leopard, though I think you may be on the right track with this being an FxPlug filter. I know I would occasionally get messages stating, basiclly, "Your GFX card is a wimp, these filters won't work" when trying 10-bit sequences under Leopard, thus I tried the 8-bit setting with this issue and all without any luck. I'll will try "Light Rays" and "Bloom" this evening to see if I get the same result.
To make this stranger still, Bad TV seems to render just fine, as far as I can recall, only Bad Film give me problems. I suppose this particular filter may not be compatible with my configuration. Perhaps, I shoud be getting that message instead of a crash.

Sending files back from color to fcp 7, but experiencing issues

I have four sequences in a FCP 7 project. I sent three of them to color from FCP 7, completed my grading, rendered and sent back to FCP 7. I did the same for the fourth sequence; however, when I opened this sequence in FCP 7 it had over written one of the other timelines media into the same clip lengths as the one I just sent back. So it had media from another project, but with the same clip lengths as the I had just sent back from color. I have never experienced this before. I am working for an advertising agency and I am basically getting raw footage ready so that it can be send to an animation house who is going to be adding their animations, transitions and exporting the project. This project is on a tight deadline and need to figure this issue out quickly. Is this indiciative of corrupt files somewhere? If any one has had this issue please share how you rectified it.
Thanks.

Color renders out the files and gives them new names... g_1, g_2...and so on. If some of them are exactly the same length as another one that's labelled g_1...FCP could connect it to the wrong one and whammo, your issue.
The REEL numbers should transfer. But if your footage doesn't have reel numbers, then it will link by name and length often. Yeah...messed up.

Vendor Open items transfer from one Recon to Another recon

We have wrongly maintained one recon account in Vendor.
Is there any way to trnasfer Vendor Open items transfer from one Recon to Another reconciliation account..

Hi,
The best way is to transfer the items from old to new reconciliation account.
Please use the following entries to transfer.
1. Dr Vendor a/c(Old recon a/c)
Cr Vendor clearing a/c
After nullifying the balance in old recon account, here chage recon in the master.
2. Dr Vendor clearing a/c
Cr Vendor a/c(New recon a/c)
F101 only post the adjustment entry at period end and reverse the same entry in next period. So, transferring the items is the best method. If you have volume of data, then create a LSMW for this.

I am trying to determine the new project preset for multi-camera video shot as follows: 3 Canon camcorders, main shot is DV (tape) (720x480), b-roll is DVD (mini-disk) (720x480), additional b-roll is AVCHD (1920x1080). Film is from a wedding, DV contain

I am trying to determine the new project preset for a multi-camera video shot as follows: 3 Canon camcorders,
Main shot is DV (tape) (720x480, 29fps) - ceremony and reception
b-roll is DVD (mini-disk) (720x480, 29fps) - bride preparations
additional b-roll is AVCHD (1920x1080, 29fps) - groom preparations and misc all day ceremony and reception.
Film is from a wedding, DV contains main footage so I assume it will need to be the base. I am planning to use the preset for DV-Widescreen. Is there a better option? I'm concerned about playback as the three appear to have different PAR. I'm using Premiere Elements 10 on W8.
Ultimately this will be burned for two formats - one for a DVD that can be watched on a widescreen TV, second for a short clip trailer to go on vimeo.
(And no I won't be doing this again for a wedding that I shoot.)

VDRAVES
Please review since I am not sure how you obtained Video 3 tall when you scaled Video 3 with Constrain Proportions in effect.
Before
After
It becomes a zoomed in effect to get rid of the black borders. But, there is no tall and thin involved anywhere.
And, after the Scale increase, you can always click on the screen and move the image around a bit
(without overdoing it to get black borders again).
After and an adjust
Please let us know if you are OK with the information above.
Thank you.
