Re: [Frameworks] Mac OS Catalina

2020-01-10 Thread Michael Betancourt
This is a fairly common problem with Apple and the video codecs included
with their OS. Apple has a tendency to make undocumented (or at least not
public) changes to even commom video codecs such as H.264 so that older
files encoded with them do not always play correctly, if at all. Since some
files play and others don't, it sounds like you have a compatibility issue
and it either has settings that are not longer recognized, or uses a codec
you just don't have any more.
You can get some work arounds, such as Parian that help a lot, but building
a library of codecs that you (re)install with each new machine is the only
way I've found to consistently escape this problem.

Good suggestions, but if one can¹t afford two computers, the rule here is

Never Change Operating Systems in the Middle of Editing a Project.  Try
not to change the editing software either.

Wait until it is done, really really done.  After all the fixes after the
sound mix.  Or never update the OS.

Don't blame Apple for this.

If you want a stable system, take it off the internet and lock it down.
Don't install updates, don't make any system changes.  Backup your work
daily and every six months or so use clonezilla or something similar to
take an image of it.

Once you put the system on the internet you are dealing with the internet
environment, which includes lots of bad people who are constantly searching
for the latest vulnerability in your system, and lots of people who are
good but severely misguided who are constantly updating websites and web
applications to require the latest browser and other updates on your desktop
computer.

You don't want to deal with this with an editing workstation.  If you want
to edit, don't do it on the computer you surf the web with, don't do it on
a machine that you do anything else with.

Thanks for all this.. I do backup everything on Time Machine once an hour. I 
did not heed the warning on Premier. The type was so small and was talking 
about tech things beyond my knowledge so I ignored it. For some reason it is 
now reading my newest film o 2020 Premier however all my edits are gone, so I 
need to start all over. I was just in the final stage of completion. However 
when an operating system will not open “Quick Time” that has been supported for 
years is just not correct. Some of my files are opening and it is taking a long 
time. They are all backed up on an external hard drive but what good are they 
if I cannot open the files to edit.

I’m not a fan of Adobe nor of FCPX. You might consider Blackmagic’s Resolve, 
which comes in a free version with most features enabled, and a paid version 
for $299 with perpetual free upgrades. 

Mac and PC and Unix versions. Works with lots of codecs. It’s the best software 
for grading and finishing, IMHO, and the editing and audio sections are now 
very good. 

It doesn’t cost anything to try, and no monthly tithing.

Some things that come up are in the first discussion thread above are:

"I just saw a new folder on my desktop titled Relocated Items evidently
created by the upgrade containing the missing data. The 'what are relocated
item' document indicates missing files/folders are in a location
incompatible with macOS security settings.  Am I to understand that I can no
longer create a folder on my HD?²
"No, you can¹t. In Catalina, the system is a separate, read-only volume. You
can't create folders on the top level of the drive.²
"Thanks Luis, for a moment I thought I was really screwed.  Can I reasonably
assume that I can move the contents of the relocated item folder to any
place I want?²

Jan 11 MoMA 7pm. URBAN PEASANTS.  THINGS TO COME.   RUBBLE
 

 

Reserve free member tickets 

 

 

This program, featuring the theatrical premieres of MoMA’s restored Urban 
Peasants and recent digital works by Jacobs, acknowledges the legendary 
avant-garde filmmaker’s enduring engagement with the “folk art” of the amateur. 
Ken Jacobs will join us to introduce a new work, to be announced.

Urban Peasants. 1975. USA. Directed by Ken Jacobs. 60 min.

Using silent home movies, shot in Brooklyn by his wife’s aunt Stella Weiss in 
the late 1930s, and a Yiddish-language recording, Jacobs fashions a moving 
meditation that plays on our awareness of the Holocaust accumulating abroad on 
the eve of the Second World War.

Things to Come. 2019. Directed by Ken Jacobs. USA. 35 min.

Jacobs’s hypnotic “3-D” adaptation of New York 1911, a long-forgotten Swedish 
documentary restored by MoMA in 2017, is representative of his current work.___

Ty, for some reason Premier 2020 opened one file…we have no control over what 
these software folks do to us. It is almost criminal if not unethical and no 
regard for medium itself and those that use it for creativity.
