New Mac Pro - 10 years ago
Is anyone using the new "coffee maker" mac pro? My mac pro's are 7 and 8 years old and getting a little worse for wear. I understand that FCS 3 will run on mavericks. Is this a workable solution or is this a run, forrest run situation? Also, is anyone using X with any success? Thanks, Joe Brownby Joe Brown - Café LA
Re: unlinking stereo pairs on clips either in the bin or viewer - 10 years ago
Thanks Jude. Just wondering if it could be done. Has only become an issue in recent years since all my imports are from cards now and log and transfer doesn't have an option to import two mono tracks.by Joe Brown - Café LA

Find a court reporter. We email an audio file and get a text file back. Not expensive either. I have a friend who uses this approach for CC. JBby Joe Brown - Café LA

Re: Can't burn Blu-Ray from FCP X - 13 years ago
Anyone using Encore? I have a project that needs to be on both DVD and BluRay. I'm getting Encore soon to do this. Can I author the project once and make both flavors from the same project? Joe Brownby Joe Brown - Café LA - X
Re: Getting The Shaft on a Payment - 13 years ago
I would contact ESPN and let them know what's going on with Chip Pankow. While they may not accept responsibility for his actions they certainly don't want to deal with anyone who operates that way. ESPN has become a really big organization with a bunch of "affiliated" companys such as ESPNRT. If they don't make it good they should know what's going on.by Joe Brown - Café LA
Re: Moving Forward - 13 years ago
FCS 3 still works as well for me today as it did a week ago. I'll give FCPX some time to get to where is needs to be. I think Apple is making a bold move to refine the editorial tools we use on a daily basis and my be onto something here. Frankly I wouldn't have released it without capture card integration, multicam and backward project compatibility, hopefully those features are coming very sby Joe Brown - Café LA - X

Re: OT: Essential Mac software we couldn't or shouldn't be without... - 13 years ago
In addition to all of the great software mentioned above.. I really like AutoMotion. It's saved the lives of countless, clueless, indecisive producers. Keylight works well too. Maybe someone will compile a list and put it somewhere convenient on the LAFCPUG site? Joe Brownby Joe Brown - Café LA

Media Mangler crashes FCP - 14 years ago
I have a project that I would like to archive the used media using media manager. When I launch media manager I get the beach ball of death for about 20 seconds then FCP crashes. Doesn't seem to happen with smaller projects. The project file is 167mb. Any ideas? Joe Brown MacPro 2 X 3ghz dual core intel xenon 5 gb ram FCP 7.02by Joe Brown - Café LA

Re: Changing Sequences into Master Clips - 14 years ago
Unless you're using a very old version of quicktime it does support 8 channels of audio. I exported a 6 channel movie for my audio guy yesterday. And I just loaded the 6 channel sequence that I used to export the movie into my viewer and have all 6 channels present and available for use. I am using FCP 7, however as memory serves me the same functionality is available in FCP 6. Perhaps I doby Joe Brown - Café LA
Re: Blu Ray Drive - 14 years ago
OK. Went with the Vance plan. I have an older Mac Pro which has an IDE superdrive. This means that there's a little more to installation. There is a SATA connector on the mother board under the fan housing. Not too much trouble to remove, however apple did a good job of hiding a screw under a lip on the fan housing by the heat sink for the processor.
