| 1. | Since most digital video codecs use non-square pixels, unlike Photoshop and other still-image applications, how do you get your images to appear correctly in your sequences? |
| 2. | How do you access Photoshop texture and drop-shadow effects in FCP? |
| 3. | There are numerous causes of dropped frames in FCP. Name three. |
| 4. | If your video output looks different from what you see in the Canvas and Viewer, how do you solve that problem? |
| 5. | What's the primary cause of audio distortion in a sequence? |
| 6. | What should you do if a clip isn't stereo linked? |
| 7. | What are two sorts of out-of-sync audio? What causes each? |
| 8. | What can you do to avoid problems with audio if you're using Panasonic's AG-DVX100 camera? |
| 9. | Can FireWire drives share a chain? |
| 10. | If you don't correctly set HDV and DV on FCP and the camera or deck, what symptom will you see? |
| 1. | Perform a reverse-squeeze operation to correct images. |
| 2. | Rasterize the layers containing the effects. |
| 3. | FCP is unable to keep up with the frame rate of your video standard (such as NTSC, PAL, HD); hardware issues; software malfunction or incompatibility; FCP settings misconfiguration; or pushing Unlimited RT and audio mixdown too far for your Mac's capabilities. A duplicated frame is a type of innocuous dropped frame that occurs as an anomaly. You can disregard it in most situations. |
| 4. | Use both a computer monitor and a true video monitor to view your work. |
| 5. | Improper settings at the capture, editing, or output stages of editing. |
| 6. | Apply audio filters individually to both mono audio clips linked to the video so that you don't hear one channel without filtration. |
| 7. | Progressive and consistent. Progressively out-of-sync audio can be caused by botched settings, video recordings with nonstandard sample rates, or having captured over blank videotape and timecode breaks. Consistently out-of-sync audio is usually a result of latency caused by routing audio and video through different devices that process the signals at different speeds. |
| 8. | Tapes recorded in Panasonic's AG-DVX100 camera require that you install a special tool found in the Extras folder of the installer CD. Note: This isn't a problem with AG-DVX100A cameras. |
| 9. | No. FireWire drives can share a FireWire bus with a DV deck or camera, but should never share a chain. |
| 10. | If they aren't set correctly, you'll get "No Communication" errors. |
