broadcast monitor playback

	Re: broadcast monitor playback by Jeremy Garchow on Oct 27, 2009 at 4:32:22 pm [ayman abdel-basset] "so where is the problem?? " FCP does not support rt playback of codecs that aren't supported by the suite, such as h264. h264 is a web delivery codec, not an editing codec. You need to conform all video to something that is enabled in FCPs rt engine. Jeremy Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

" Animation isn't a real time capable codec either. You need ot place the movie in a timeloine that has a standrd video codec, render and then you should have rt playback. If oyu son't, that's becuase your timeline and video output aren't matching. Jeremy Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: broadcast monitor playback by Jeremy Garchow on Oct 28, 2009 at 3:30:38 pm [ayman abdel-basset] "but when i render this it goes real time! " RIght, so the proper way to do this is to select the proper easy setup from the easy setup menu (control-q). Then make a new sequence. Then drag one of your files to the sequence and when it asks if you want to change the sequence to confrom to the clip, you say NO. Then you render, then you playout in rt.

	Re: broadcast monitor playback by Jeremy Garchow on Oct 29, 2009 at 2:37:24 pm [ayman abdel-basset] "let's say uncompressed 10bit " And I'll assume SD PAL. So hit control-q and choose the AJA Kona PAL uncompressed 10 bit easy setup. Make a new sequence (very important). Drag the footage to that timeline, and when FCP asks if you want to confrom the sequence to the clip, say NO! Render, and playback. Jeremy Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: broadcast monitor playback by walter biscardi on Nov 2, 2009 at 8:49:48 pm [Mitch Ives] "And this is getting less clear all the time. Right now, the h264 clips from a 5D or 7D Canon can be thrown onto the FCP timeline, and if you say yes when asked if you want the sequence to be changed to match the clips, they play on the FCP timeline in realtime without rendering. So, somewhere deep inside, FCP has this ability and a codec for h264 playback. " The proper workflow for H.264 originated material is to convert it to something like ProRes or ProResHQ prior to dropping it into the timeline. You can use compressor for this.

	Re: broadcast monitor playback by Jeremy Garchow on Nov 2, 2009 at 9:02:02 pm [Mitch Ives] "they play on the FCP timeline in realtime without rendering. " WEll yes, that's because the clip and timeline codec match. Now, try to do a cross dissolve, a 3 way cc, or whatever, and you will see just how non rt it is. Most likely, those clips are RGB, so when does the conversion to YUV happen? [Mitch Ives] "I guess at the end of the day, we have to define what an editing codec is, or perhaps it's being redefined for us?" An editing codec in FCP terms, is a codec that has real time effects and real time playback in the FCP timeline out of a capture card. Something that could be played back and assemble edited to tape in real time without a render would be a couple of other requirements. Jeremy Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: broadcast monitor playback by Jeremy Garchow on Nov 4, 2009 at 4:55:53 pm [Mitch Ives] "My point was that they can even play at all." An h264 file? An iPhone can play an h264 file. That's not the challenge. [Mitch Ives] "One wonders if Apple could build on this, " Yeah, it's called iFrame and it's coming to iMovie. [Mitch Ives] "especially since it appears Avid can edit these files natively (haven't verified it myself). " Avid usually transcodes files upon import, a process very different to FCP. At that point, you aren't playing back h264 files, but rather Avid codec files. Jeremy Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index
