Using USB 3.0 for Editing - 13 years ago
Is anyone using USB 3.0 for editing? In theory, it's supposed to be faster than esata but can it handle HD projects? If anyone is using this workflow, I'd love to hear what hardware you are using and what your experience is with this drive. thank you, apmendeby apmende - Café LA

Looking for Good Esata Card for MacPro1, 1 - 14 years ago
I have a pair of 2TB Lacie drives that have full rez HD video on them. I want to get a faster throughput when editing so I would like to use the esata connection. What is a good brand to buy and also where is a good place to buy the card? Apple is a little expensive so I wouldn't mind buying from another retailer. My Macpro is a little older so I am including the system information here asby apmende - Café LA

Offline RT from HDV footage - 14 years ago
We have ten 1TB drives that we are sharing amongst 3 editors. It is very time consuming to disconnect and reconnect drives. I was wondering if going to an offline RT workflow would save us time? The initial recompressing of the files would be time consuming but I believe most, if not all, of the media would fit on 1TB drive. We would also be able to do this on 3 machines overnight. I was wby apmende - Café LA
Re: Mixing Frame Rates in Timeline - 15 years ago
Thank you so much. I'll try to get a friend to convert the footage through a teranex where he works. This seems like the easiest route and it's only about an hours worth of footage.by apmende - Café LA
Mixing Frame Rates in Timeline - 15 years ago
These 2 frame sizes and frame rates were shot and imported into FCP. 1280 x 720 @ 59.94 1920x1080 @ 29.97 When I insert them into the timeline, it jitters/stutters. Which timeline should I use the 59.94 or the 29.97. I would assume that you would create a HD timeline at 1920x1080 @ 29.97 and conform the other 1280x720 into that timeline. Am I wrong or is there a work-around. What shoby apmende - Café LA
Re: Various Codecs in DVCPRO HD 1080i60 timeline - 15 years ago
The Jess Deinterlacer is a filter that gets placed on each clip that is 24p? Is there an easy way to select all the clips in a timeline that are 24p and then add this filter? I am just looking for a quick and easy way to do this function. Thanks for the input.by apmende - Café LA

Re: Media Manager and Speed FX - 15 years ago
what's happening is a clip that has a speed fx on it will not come in as a full clip after it has been media managed. In other words, if it filled 3 secs in the timeline, it will now fill one second and the other 2 seconds will not be there. I don't know if the p2 transfers where done correctly but the clips do carry timecode but no reel number so I take it the person that originally transferreby apmende - Café LA
Media Manager and Speed FX - 15 years ago
I just starting using media manager again so it's been a while. We are working with over 5 tbs of footage so when we finish the project and deliver a drive to the client, we only need the sequence media. That said, when media managing the sequence, I have encountered a lot of problems with speed fx. Just so you know, none of the footage has reel names. They are p2 transfers so they were nby apmende - Café LA
Breakout Box and HD NTSC Monitor Suggestions - 15 years ago
I am mainly an offline editor but I have color corrected DV based footage for about 2 years. I am working for a client who wants me to color correct their HD show. I am lost when it comes to hardware so any input would be greatly appreciated.

Re: My Demo Reel Site - 15 years ago
thanks for the input. all of these were captured from SD digibeta masters. some of them were originally shot SD (digibeta) while others were HD downconverts to SD letterbox. This is probably why there is a quality difference. I used the same compression settings for everything. I guess "Garbage in ... Garbage out". I did notice the difference in volume so I'll have to adjust aby apmende - Show and Tell
My Demo Reel Site - 15 years ago
I used the H264 codec in compressor and brought it down to 800 KPS. They are all QT movies and are about 15 to 30 mb each but are intended to stream. I also used the fast start function so the user doesn't have to wait for the entire movie to load to watch it. Enjoy and tell me what you think. Cinematicut.com thank youby apmende - Show and Tell
LA Resources to find editing work - 15 years ago
I recently moved from Chicago to LA and was wondering if LA had some type of production bible that lists post/production houses. Back in the midwest, Screen Magazine put out a production bible once a year. In a nutshell, I am trying to figure out what companies are located out here and what type of work they do so I can try to submit my resume. Are there any web resources I am missing?
