Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 1262)

• Analyze all clips in a sequence using the SmoothCam Browser column: Sequences have a
SmoothCam property just as individual clips do. However, a sequence’s SmoothCam
property controls motion analysis for all unanalyzed clips in the sequence. Control-click
in the SmoothCam column next to the sequence whose clips you want to analyze, then
choose Run Analysis from the shortcut menu. Any sequence clip that uses the
SmoothCam filter and still needs analysis is analyzed.
Reanalyzing Clips
If necessary, you can reanalyze a clip whose status is “Analysis completed.”
To analyze a clip that already has a completed motion analysis file
1 Make sure the SmoothCam column is shown in the Browser.
2 Select one or more clips in the Browser.
3 While pressing the Option key, Control-click in the SmoothCam column next to one of
the selected clips, then choose Run Analysis from the shortcut menu.
Reprioritizing Clips in the Processing Queue
If you want to analyze a particular clip before others in the processing queue, you need
to remove any motion analysis jobs currently in the queue and then add the clip you
want to analyze.
To analyze a clip before others already in the processing queue
1 In the Background Processes window, click the Stop button next to the progress bar.
All clips are removed from the processing queue.
2 In the Browser, Control-click in any column, then choose SmoothCam from the shortcut
menu.
3 Control-click in the SmoothCam column next to the clip you want to analyze, then choose
Run Analysis from the shortcut menu.
To analyze sequence clips before other clips in the processing queue
1 In the Background Processes window, click the Stop button next to the progress bar.
All clips are removed from the processing queue.
2 Select and render the current sequence clip or the entire sequence.
Rendering unanalyzed clips with the SmoothCam filter applied automatically adds the
clips to the processing queue.
