In fact my previous self tweeted about this error back in 2018, anticipating it would take me nearly a year to typing a proper writeup. The famous Failed: 3x crash service down error pops up within a few seconds. Unfortunately, combining the two conforming steps doesn’t seem to work. 4Ĭouldn’t we just use Compressor once and conform the 30p variable fps footage to 29.97 fixed fps footage? The “two hop” process inevitably recompresses the video twice…although, again it’s ProRes and virtually lossless. The original 30p Wirecast file had 93387 frames and the conformed 29.97p version had less, as expected, 93294.

The number of frames is different between the two files.

In my case both were 51 min and 53 sec (using regular QuickTime Player X to verify).

The duration of the clips are the same (otherwise there will be audio sync issues).

Pro tip: check the 30p to 29.97p conforming worked correctly by ensuring: The solution? Use Compressor again for a second ProRes to ProRes render, this time from fixed 30p file to fixed 29.97p. However, now the footage I have also needs to change framerates from 30p to 29.97p. The easiest way to solve this would have been to change Wirecast’s ProRes preset to actually record at 29.97 fps. This means for the same exact duration, the Wirecast file has less frames, which throws off frame precise edit lists. The Sony AX100s however record to 29.97p, our good ol’ drop frame rate. Wirecast’s default ProRes settings actually record to 30p. The ProRes to ProRes conversion is virtually lossless. So the first step is to conform the variable frame rate footage into fixed frame rate footage using Compressor. What Wirecast does is adjust frame duration so timing remains constant. I was already anticipating conforming the livestream footage before pulling it into the timeline, since Wirecast uses variable frame rates.

Use the EDL to cut between the HD/4K footage, using the livestream angle for reference.

Multicam sync the SD card footage along with the livestream MP4.Use DaVinci Resolve to detect the cuts and output an EDL (edit document list) with the timestamps 1 2.Cut between two cameras using a wireless MIDI controller and Keyboard Maestro (pretty sweet).

Record to Disk at 480p ProRes 422 to an external USB 3.0 hard drive.Assign Wirecast keyboard shortcuts to both cameras.Feed the HDMI output of both cameras into Wirecast on a MacBook Pro.Two cameras, each recording to SD cards.That way I can speed up turnaround times for multicam edits, especially for 2+ hour events like typical Indian classical dances and concerts. I’ve recently been experimenting with realtime editing of live events.
