FCP for HDPosted by K. Ferris
Need a little help for an upcoming project in HD. My system is working well for mini DV , and although I will soon upgrade to the latest FCP (I believe 5.1.1) I know I am going to have to spend some green to get it up to speed to do an HD project. Can anyone guide me to a good web site to explain in plain language what I am going to need. Recommended Memory, drive space, breakout box, output methods....
I don't have any specific questions yet because nothing has been shot. So I just want to know where I can read all I will need to know to prepare for production as well as post production. Eight weeks before shoot!! Thanks Guys...... and Ladies.
Mike was great. He did a brilliant summary of the meeting over at HD 4 Indies dot com. Just like you were there

Oh, well, then we can't answer you. JUST KIDDING.
That's a fine camera. You can capture that directly through FireWire, and even downconvert live to DVCAM or DV, through the same pipe. The sae features are available on this A1U I just picked up, it's wild. Assuming you get a new tower with FC Studio installed, pay attention to storage for your HD. You want SATA drives and probably Raided to support multistream. - Loren Today's FCP 5 keytip: Preview effects sections with Option-P or Option-Backslash!

Loren,
I'm trying to put a few quick clips together in iMovie. How do you get the A1U to downconvert? I've followed what seems to be the specs on page 81 in sony handbook. and setup imovie for dv format. I've never used imovie. nor the a1u before this project. i'm a long way from my studio on west coast (we're in paris on way back from south africa). What's the secret to down converting to dvcam????? tnx Sanjay
