Apple Shake 4 New Features - Manual (Page 36)

36 Chapter 2 Major Features and New Nodes
The placeholder QuickTime clip in your Final Cut Pro 5 project corresponds to the
media that will eventually be rendered out of Shake—specifically, from the FileOut
node appearing at the end of the generated Shake script.
Sending Media Back to Final Cut Pro 5
When you’re finished working in the Shake script that was generated from Final Cut Pro
5, all you have to do is render the originally created FileOut node. The newly rendered
media file takes the place of the original placeholder QuickTime file, ready for use by
the original Final Cut Pro 5 project.
When you reopen the originating Final Cut Pro 5 project file containing the original
placeholder QuickTime file, you’ll need to use the Reconnect Media command to relink
the clip in your Timeline to the media that was rendered out of Shake.
New Adaptive Method for Retiming
The retiming options in the FileIn node now accomodate high-quality adaptive
interpolation of in-between frames. This option is available from the retimeMode pop-
up menu.
The TimeRange of Scripts Generated From Final Cut Pro 5
The timeRange Global parameter in the Shake script that’s created by the Send to
Shake command is automatically set with the appropriate range of frames for the
media it references.
Important: Clicking the Auto button to update the timeRange is not recommended.
This can result in many more frames being referenced than expected, depending on
the total duration of the source media files that are referenced.
