Hello!
I am having an unexpected problem with the "send to Shake " command in FCP and was hoping that someone could help me with this.
I captured a whole tape, then made subclips and put them to a sequence. Then I highlighted a clip in the sequence that I needed to work on in Shake and did the usualll Send to shake command. When Shake opened the clip lenght was ok but the starting point was the first frame of the whole tape!
I can of course export a seperate clip and then import it in Shake but "Send to shake" is so much easier once it works.
Any ideas? Thank You.

Well -- When you send to shake, it normally sends the entire clip and keeps the in and out points in the parameters window set to those in and out frames in FCP.
These WILL change if you hit the global's AUTO button and refresh your timeline's HOME button.
HOWEVER - I've not actually ever done sending to Shake from the BROWSER, so I'm not sure what it actually does from there with subclips.
If indeed the Clip's parameter tab shows the in frame as 1 and the out frame as XXXX then yes, it pulled the whole master clip. Two workarounds... 1) send the clips from the timeline. 2) use a frame rate calculator to figure your first frame and last frame based on time code to frame count and enter those in by hand in the clip's parameter window.

Hello
Thank You, Captain Mench for Your reply. I really enjoyed Your Shake tutorials by the way.
Well, coming back to the problem: what I did initially was in fact sending a single clip from the Timeline and not the Browser itself.
the clip in shake had the right framelength but was totally offset. I worked around this problem in shake but still feel that the problem must me in the creation of a subclip.
It used to work when I recaptured a sequence with edl from tape in FCP and then send a single clip...everything worked fine.
greetings

Yes send to shake actually reference your original clip and does a slip in shake and set the shake globals to what you should see. I never use this. I just use media manage and export the clips with handles to a new folder do my comps there then over cut or just replace the footage.
