Hi Everyone,
I purchased a copy of CatDV Pro, and I can already see how much faster this will make editing a large documentary with hundreds of hours of footage.
I love the features, however, I am having problems creating proxies for some of the DV video files that we have.
I can successfully render and create proxies for DV files with a "DV/DVCPRO - NTSC" codec (that was created in either FCP or MPEGStreamclip).
However, CatDV is not creating proxies for DV files that were created with Clipwrap and that have an "Apple DV/DVCPRO - NTSC" codec. (with "Apple" in the beginning of the codec name).
When I try to build the Clipwrap-created DV files through the "Build Proxy Movies" option.... the Build Proxy function begins to initialize, and then I receive an error:
The "Build Preview" window says "xxxx.mov failed (Movie offline or not supported).
Again, the DV clips that fail to proxy render in CatDV are:
1) clips that were 1080i .m2ts files that were converted to DV Codec by Clipwrap
2) the clips import successfully into CatDV, as well as play fine in the CatDV play window.
3) play fine in Quicktime
4) In both Cinema Tools and in the CatDV Tech window, the codec of these clips are reported as being: "Apple DV/DVCPRO - NTSC"
And again, the DV clips that DO successfully built proxies in CatDV were converted to SD using MPEGStreamClip, or digitized in FCP, and have a codec: "DV/DVCPRO - NTSC" (without "Apple" at the beginning of the codec name).
Thank you for your help in trying to understand how to resolve this issue.
