FCP & tricaster video

	FCP & tricaster video by Marcus Carlton on Apr 23, 2009 at 4:27:49 pm is there anyway to get video from a tricaster 1.0 compatible with FCP? the tricaster records in .avi format with a NT25 codec, which is a propitiatory codec. I have a project that I need multiple cameras and it would make my life much easier if I could use the tricaster to mix the video on location instead of having to set up a multi-cam edit in FCP. I've never attempted the multi-cam edit. Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: FCP & tricaster video by david bogie on Apr 23, 2009 at 4:35:36 pm I don't see the problem. If you're using it as a video switcher, you can easily take the composite output from the Newtek to any video recorder. bogiesan Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: FCP & tricaster video by Marcus Carlton on Apr 23, 2009 at 4:41:22 pm ok...should have prefaced by saying I am completely new to this tricaster. I've only been familiarizing myself with it for about 3 days now. I didn't realize it could go to any recorder. So you are saying that I could go composite out from the tricaster to a deck and record to tape? Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

Marcus, your post has us confused; we've answered your questions but maybe you didn't ask the right ones. This isn't a NewTek user forum, I've have not seen one in operation since it ran on the Commodore 64 but any video switcher system should have a composite output. If it doesn't, you need to talk to the mfr, open the manual and dive deep, or start hanging on the NewTek user forums. It'ds a popular rig, must be a rich user resource out there someplace. bogiesan Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: FCP & tricaster video by Steve Eisen on Apr 24, 2009 at 6:45:02 pm On that subject matter, I do not believe Marcus has even worked on a live to tape event before. This what you need to do. Iso your cameras (record each feed for each camera). When a bad switch is made, you can fix it. Record to tape and/or some type of Digital Recordable device (firestore, AG-HPG20, direct to hard drive, etc). Good luck with your project.
