Ahhh...memories, walking down 5th Avenue from the old National Video carrying six 90:00 quad reels, trying to find a cab at 5PM to get me back to Showtime on...
... Carrying Six? Holy something! Bare reels? In cardboard or shippers? Would you like to recreate the occasion for a photo? Perhaps Maurice at DuArt can...
Plastic 3M shippers...at least there were handles. And any props Maurice might supply are probably leftovers from when I managed film ops at DuArt Video's...
... handling tape in the traffic dept. had stronger arms than some entering the business now. I agree: Yes, that's what's happened to our industry. Those who...
No question, Happy New Year to everyone...! Okay, so I've got an Uncompressed 4:2:2 QT that I exported out of a Mac-based Avid. Again, I deliberately selected...
Because these were digitized in to the Avid from DigiBeta and D2 masters that had native frame sizes of 720x540. I decided to stick with it. Could this be...
... Nothing has a native frame size of 720 x 540. If you're looking in QT player that's lying to you. Digital Video in SD NTSC is either 640 x 480 (square...
Well, whatever the situation, it's not the pixel aspect. I just tried another export setting the sequence at 720x480. I then imported the resulting QT in to...
... - certainly none that works with Avid or FCP. I say: While that's true, I do recall from years ago that 720x540 is the square-pixel equivalent of a 720x486...
That could be what's happening. But I've tried many different combinations of pixel size and sequence settings. I don't think this is a pixel issue. I've...
... another export setting the sequence at 720x480. I then imported the resulting QT in to FCP and, again, it plays in the Viewer but when cut in to the...
... The Viewer is a simple QT player. It'll play formats that give FCP's Sequence (Canvas) conniptions, so the ability to play the file in QT Player or in the...
I'm trying Dennis'/your suggestion now of using QT Pro to export to the DV codec in the hopes that maybe it's a data rate thing... Great way to start the new...
... I started my career recoding sound using wire, when you had a wire break, it could take your eye out. We used to cut 2" tape by sprinkling Iron oxide onto...
... Maybe try a QT ref movie from the Avid - Same as Source (including the native frame size). Do a short test. Choosing SAS shouldn't lose any quality. -- ...
Well, I tried using QT Pro to export to the DV codec and a much lower data rate and wouldn't you know it, it plays in the Canvas. But now I've lost all that...
... Did you choose RGB levels out of the Avid? I think that is what FCP expects. -- With best wishes, Roger Shufflebottom Avid Certified Instructor ...
... masters that had native frame sizes of 720x540. ... DigiBeta and D2 are 720x486. Avid gives you the option on export of a non-square to square pixel...
Hey David, all the best to you and the new year also. Nuthin' like startin' it with a FCP quirk, eh? :-P There are two things I actually don't understand about...

Hey Mark, ... Um... hardly, no. Like I said, I've successfully managed to keep that "fun" out of my life since roughly the mid to late 90's. In fact, if I...

Ahh Dennis, I bow to your considerable knowledge, the back porch was the only thing I remember, I thought we use to cut in the vertical blanking, of course...
... the only thing I remember, I thought we use to cut in the vertical blanking, of course your logic is correct. I bow right back: You still have more history...
