'Incompatible Codec' Preventing Edit To Tape - Getting Annoyed Now!

Okay, this should be a really simple procedure - I have a 30 second TV commercial to master from the timeline to a Digibeta A500 VTR. The project is set to Blackmagic PAL 10-bit, as is the timeline and the view output. The video card (Blackmagic Decklink HD) is providing the Digibeta with an audio/video muxed SDI feed and machine control via RS422. The output of the A500 shows the Blackmagic card is feeding it pictures from the timeline just fine. Here comes the problem - on opening Edit To Tape to do a master with frame-accurate timecode FCP insists that it cannot playout the timeline as the timeline settings and the output settings are different codecs... yet the entire process is simply uncompressed 10-bit PAL. FCP suggests I re-render in a new timeline with 'the correct codec' but this doesn't help. No one here or at my system supplier can figure out what's up with the thing, I don't fancy sending out a TX master crash-recorded with a 'guesstimated' timecode track but failing that I'm screwed...
...any suggestions which miniscule and forgotten setting might be causing this?
Cheers,
Tom

Hiya - Sorry guys I should have made myself clearer. I have already been doing the drag of the timeline to the 'assemble' pop up in the ETT window and this was when the 'incompatible compression setting' error came up.
I think I have got past this issue now - it seems that the 'Blackmagic PAL 10-bit' preset is actually 5:4 aspect ratio by default which is ever so slightly different to regular 4:3 the card itself is trying to output - strangely though I get realtime playback off the timeline with this default setup but not via ETT (which annoyingly insists on spending 10 minutes 'writing video' before every master I run off - is there a way to get it to save the video file it has written for ETT output?)
It was only on the fourth attempt that I managed to get ETT to output both video and audio together - the first three attempts it only output the audio tracks. Bizarre? Lastly the timecode is off by one frame - i.e. the beginning frame of the commercial is coming in at 10:00:00:01. Could this be a dropped frame or do I need to change the pre-roll settings for ETT somewhere (can I do this?)
Cheers for your help so far guys!

Incompatible Compression Settings / Edit to Tape

I'm working in Final Cut Pro 6.0.1 and trying to layback some video to Digi-Beta using a Kona3 video card. I'm new to this, so perhaps there are parts of this question I'm leaving out due to lack of knowledge.
I'm getting this dialogue box when I attempt to "insert" in the Edit to Video box --
Incompatible Compression Settings
You may have attempted to output a clip with compression settings that do not match the current output settings, Try nesting the clip in a sequence with the correct settings.
This is a clip captured in FCP and in it's a sequence with the same exact settings. I've gone through every window and made sure the settings are all AJA Kona3 525 29.97 10 bit. Everything I can find is consistent, and "should" work I think, but doesn't. What are the "correct settings?"
If anyone can offer any help that would awesome. Again, I'm a bit of newbie at this so there is most likely information I forgot to mention or something I overlooked.

#18 Edit to Tape "Incompatible Compression Settings"
Shane's Stock Answer #18
To Edit to Tape you either need to have your sequence loaded in the VIEWER, or simply drag it from the BROWSER onto the Edit to Tape window and choose Assemble Edit or Insert Edit.
For both methods, the tape needs to be black and coded and have TC already on it. And you need to mark and IN point in the ETT window.

Error 13019 really getting annoyed now please help!

I have an iPod touch 1st generation. I have the latest 3.0 update and I have the latest iTunes update. Yesterday my iPod was working fine. Now, every time I try to sync music, iTunes backs up my iPod but then gives me error 13019. I know what it means, but how do I get rid of it? I havent done anything to my ipod or iTunes that would give it an error. I havent updated anything so why would it give me errors? I have already tried resetting my computer and iPod. It says my iPod can't be synced. But I know it can because I can put movies, apps, and everything else on it. Just not music. Please help me with this. I am really getting annoyed with all my iPod problems now!!!

Hi hamish72
there have been previous posts on the forum where the modulation has changed to 992.5 with the change in upload speed but with download still on adslmax level. either getting mods involved or phoning sales and agreeing a new contract appear the solution to getting download upgraded

then after a call to the customer service i had an engineer visit who played about on the pole outside for a bit and managed to get my speed up and running to

Now the speed above is the speed i was getting constantly with the lowest going to 3444kbps for the last 3 or 4 months then all of a sudden my line drops again

ok so i have rung customer service and had 2 engineer visits. Luckily the 1st engineer visit was the same bloke who got my line upto 3648 so he sort of knew and was easy to explain to at least i thought all he did was move the drop line into a different room when he spoke to his bosses they advised him that i was getting 1.7 mb connection and that was normal for my line? Wrong normal was 3.4 which i was getting for months. So i complained to the bt guy and he said he knew how i felt cause of the drop. So he went away after that i called customer service to report the issue had not been sorted.
Another engineer visit was booked this time for a broadband specialist who came over and said that my line was not earthed properly as he could tell through his tests so he did some work up the pole to and came down after an hour and said that he managed to get my speed back to 3 mb which i was kinda thinking i was happy with. So after the second engineer left my home after doing no tests on my test socket only up the pole i decided to check this with speedtester and see if the downstream had gone up. To my amazement it had not so once again i had to call customer service who told me that they were gonna do something to take the line noise out and get it a couple of DB down and that the work was completed this morn and it would improve my line quality. Im not stupid i have checked my hub stats everyday since this error and nothing has gone down if anything it has gone up so it seems no work has been done at this time???? Also i have rung concerning my bb hub light kept resetting itself i got told to test another hub which i didnt have one so i was told the only way bt would send me one is to sign another 1 year contract !!!!!! Which i did cause im stupid!!! Guess what wasnt the hub .Also i was told today by customer services that it would take 3 months to get fibre and maybe wait for that hahaha do you think im stupid i live in a rural area hence the **bleep** connection i aint getting fibre for at least 10 years. Now customer service has told me to monitor my speed for yet another 3 or 4 days and get back to them. My speed hasnt improved and i wont except anything lower than 3mb connection i was getting before. My connection is bad at the moment and i cant even test my speed on bt cause i get this message

Getting annoyed now....

Hi,
I have a 160Gb Apple Tv running 2.4 firmware.
Until recently this has sync'd fine with my MacBook using my wireless network, however I have recently purchased a movie direct from iTunes Store through the Apple TV and want now to sync it back to my MacBook.
Everytime I try this it gets maybe 5% if that and then iTunes on the Mac hangs completely, I get the spinning beach ball and have to Force Quit iTunes before I can do anything else.
So I tried to connect the Apple TV directly to the MacBook using an ethernet cable, but iTunes wont see it at all, let alone sync with it.
I reboot both, I've tried to setup internet sharing to allow the Apple TV to share the airport connection to the internet to help the Mac see it. I've since disabled sharing and now I'm getting nowhere.
In amongst all this I changed the Apple TV sync preferences in iTunes on the Mac and now I only have the 1 movie on Apple TV. All my other content is going, and can now only be watched on the Mac.
Can someone please help me to get these two issues resolved. Otherwise all I can think of is buying the movie again, deleting it from Apple TV and then trying to sync ALL my content back over. But this just defeats the object.
many thanks to anyone who can help.

Try connecting your ATV to your router by Ethernet cable and see if that works. Remember to run the network setup in your ATV again after you connect it by Ethernet cable.

Have tried: Exporting to QT at both 29.97 and 59.94—then re-importing into FCP with a new timeline w/ matching settings.
I have been told that FCP doesn’t produce TC ‘going out’ and that essentially we are looking to 'MATCH-EDIT' to timecode on tape.
I have Black and coded tape to 00:58:50;00
Project In point is 00:59:00;02 --for all intents/purposes this is a test seq. so OUT point is 01:01:00;07
I have complete Deck Control in FCP but, the problem I’m having is not being able to use the “Edit to Tape” func. In FCP. I can Black and Code the beginning of the tape, and the “ETT” window shows the corresponding timecode on the deck, but when I go to drop the sequence in the ‘Insert’ or ‘Assemble’ drop box, I get nothing? I don’t know if it’s the settings in the DECK, KONA CARD or FCP??
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!SHOW AIRING in 2 DAYS!!!!
Thanks
Zack

That deck cannot do insert editing or assemble editing with proper show time to the 1200 deck. That is that decks big weakness. Only the 1400 deck has this ability. You'll have to crash record and then get the tape dubbed at a dub facility with the proper show code.
TRUST ME...I have been down this path.

Edit to tape widescreen

When i edit to tape a widescreen production for back up it stretches it. How do I keep it widescreen on edit to tape. It is fine exporting to DVD as I have the settings. Do i need to change the edti to tape settings. If so where.
Thank you in advance

You need to drop the sequence into one that will letterbox your footage, THEN output. So make a 4:3 sequence, drop in your anamorphic 16:9 footage (same codec) and then render. Then you should get the result you want.

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

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 confusing drop frame and non drop frame

This is a re-creation of a dead thread I found from June 6, 2006. This is the exact problem this other user was having.
OS 10.4.7
FCP 5.0.4
Dual G5 2.5
4.5 GB RAM
KONALH
Trying to edit to a Sony DVW-A500 (Digibeta) in Drop Frame mode.
Read Below for deets.
Problem: When working with a drop-frame sequence, and editing to tape, the program is edited to the tape with an offset of 3 seconds and 18 frames at the end of one hour.
Reproducible: Yes.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a drop-frame sequence.
2. Edit the sequence in step 1.
3. Perform an edit to tape with the sequence edited in step 2.
What should happen: The sequence should be edited to tape at the time it occurs in the timeline.
What does happen: The sequence is edited to the tape 3 seconds and 18 frames after it should be!
Other observations: 3 seconds and 18 frames is exactly how much time is not in an hour of drop-frame time when compared to non-drop frame time. If you drop two (2) frames in every minute that does not end in zero, the math works out to 2*54=108 dropped frames in an hour. For the sake of simple mathematics, lets say there are 30 frames in a second. So 108/30= 3 with a remainder of 18, or 3 seconds and 18 frames.
It's as if FCP is getting confused about drop and non-drop timecode when the sequence is drop-frame. If anyone can offer any insights, confirmation, or resolutions for what I am seeing, it would be appreciated.
Thanks for reading!

So is the timeline a drop frame timeline, starting at 1:00:00:00?
And then is the DBeta tape prestriped (at least enough to do an assemble edit) to start the program at 01:00:00:00?
In other words, is the FCP timeline timecode matching the Dbeta tape timecode in a 1:1 relationship before you attempt to Edit to Tape?
Thinking further: FCP can't really confuse the two timecodes, it's dependent on the operator to tell it what to do. When it outputs it's not outputing timecode or looking even really looking for timecode. It's looking for your IN point in the Edit to Tape tool.

What is the best codec to edit with in Premiere? I use a Canon 7D.

With Adobe Premiere I read that you don't have to transcode your footage to edit, but is it BETTER to? In final cut people say that it is best to transcode your footage from h.264 to apple pro res in order to get higher quality footage. Is the same true with Premiere? Is it better to change your footage to a different codec before editing? FYI I use a Canon 7D.

Do the below to match your sequence and your video and you should be good to go

Edit to tape INSERT & NO AUDIO

Ok, so i have a brand new Mac, Decklink Blackmagic Extreme HD card in it. Everything works properly, except the insert edit to tape. When I perform an assemble edit through the "Edit to tape" window it works fine, but cannot get the insert edit to insert audio?? Using a Sony UVW-1800 deck. Performed a test on the deck with another editor and it worked fine. Using the Blackmagic 10Bit Easy setup thus far. A bit confused about what the device control settings should be, or where I should be looking to get FCPS2 to tell the deck to record audio when doing an insert edit. And before you ask, yes I have selected "all on" from the "edit to tape" window audio pop-up.
I need help soon, as this is how we put all our productions to master tapes for the company!! Thanks in advance!!

Alright, if you have a Decklink card, and a BetaSP deck... this will be VERY helpful!!!

Edit to tape... Cannot Assemble...

Hi, I am trying to edit a 30sec commercial spot to tape to get it to the local cable company ASAP. I have a Powermac G5 outputting to a Multibridge extreme, controling a Panasonic AJ-D455 DVCPro deck. I have the timeline all set to export but when I drag it over to the Edit to Tape window, all options (insert, assemble, preview) are grayed out. Please help me.
Thanks
Paul

First of all, why not go out Firewire? That will keep the output a digital copy of your timeline.
If you insist on using the Decklink, make sure your settings are correct (device settings) - you should be able to control the deck prior to output. Do you get an error message when you click the black tape button?

Finder not working... I'm getting annoyed at Apple.

Hi. Long time Apple Fan, 5 years now, heavy computer user for 15 years.
I recently installed a Brother Fax/Scan/Copy machine on my iMac with Leopard. The software that comes with it gives me the option to scan into PDF in one small step. Easy. I love it. However, the software is weak in that it doesn't clearly show where the pdf's are by default saved. I've solved that problem for the Black and White scans, but for the color scans, because I do them so rarely, I've not taken the time to figure it out.
So last night, I was scanning my Passport because I'm getting a new one soon. In the process, every time a scan completes, it opens the file in preview with the .pdf file and the default file-naming convention of CCI00001.pdf, CCI00002.pdf, and so on sequentially. Well, thinking I could easily find the files later, I just closed the Preview window thinking I'd open them later.
Well, the only way I can find these files is under the 'File>Open Recent' in Preview. Problem is, I've opened a few files with Preview since these scans, so I think, I'll just go to finder and type in the file name. Well, Finder can't find them. The ONLY way I can get to the files is through 'Open Recent' in Preview. However, some of them are no longer recent, so 'poof' they've disappeared. So I thought, well, let me click 'save as' in Preview and that would open the folder they are in. Well, it did, but it opened it in a finder window that is not the usual finder window. I.e., I can't navigate away from the folder that the 'Save as' function in Preview opens. Well, I can, but it doesn't clearly show me where that folder is that it default opened. I use the drop down arrow to open the 'advanced' finder window or whatever, but there is no 'root structure' (for lack of a better comparison that you can find in Windows) the name of the folder happens to coincide with my 'user' folder, but it doesn't have the little 'user' icon that you normally see next to your user folder in finder. It's just a normal blue folder that happens to have the same name as my user folder. So, I thought, why don't I create a new folder with a peculiar name that I can search for in finder- I called it 'Baffle Me' ... keep in mind, this is within Preview, File>Save As...> not changing the directory that it defaults to even though it's the name of my home folder or whatever, and then adding a folder called 'Baffle Me'... I saved in that folder. Logic would conclude that I could do a search within Finder now for a folder called 'Baffle Me' and wala- I'd find the folder where all my .PDF scans are. Nada. I thought, well maybe OSX needs to take time to scan it again- I'll come back tomorrow. So I did. Nada. I'm at a lost here. How can a file be on my computer and Finder not find it??
Can someone tell me how to find these scans? Did they get thrown out because I just closed the Preview window instead of saving them and they were in some sort of 'temp' directory? That doesn't make sense though, because I can still go back in 'File>Open Recent...> in Preview and find them. I'm at a loss here, and I'm really getting annoyed.
Ideas? Thanks in advance for your responses.
Hal

{quote}Well, the only way I can find these files is under the 'File>Open Recent' in Preview.{quote}
Command click on the filename on the preview window and it will give you the path to the file... That is also a live path, so if you click on the folder that the file is in you will be taken to where the file is. Or click on the Sidebar button on the preview window and click on the gear/wheel on the bottom and select sort by path. It will then show the path under the file name...
You should also play with spotlight to see if you can figure out why it was not working for you. I was able to find pdf's by name as well as text within them... It should've found them really easy with the file names.
{quote} I use the drop down arrow to open the 'advanced' finder window or whatever, but there is no 'root structure' (for lack of a better comparison that you can find in Windows){quote}
Click on the hard drive icon in the sidebar and you see the 'root structure'. The mac layout is no different than Windows...
