Re: Avid Layout for Final Cut - 15 years ago
Jeff, There have been many threads about this topic, "Making my FCP keyboard look like an Avid". While the opinions are split, I'd go on record as saying this is a BAD IDEA. FCP is NOT Avid, and trying to make it work like one is going to cause more frustration and pain for the new user than just biting the bullet and learning the differances. I say this because if you change someby mark raudonis - Café LA

In the Burbank area, I'd recommend "Alpha Dogs". www.4alphadogs.com (818) 729-9262 Terry Curren is the owner and can certainly help you figure out the best workflow. Good Luck. Markby mark raudonis - Café LA

Re: Europe - 15 years ago
Nick B, I can confirm that your Mac's power supply is 100/240 capable. The only thing the "World Traveler" kit does is to supply you with the correct "outlet" configuration. Once you get it plugged in, the internal transformer "senses" the correct voltage at it just works. I recently travelled to Australia (220) an all I did was buy a cheap "american toby mark raudonis - Café LA
Re: Out of Memory - 15 years ago
Troy, Reading through this thread, I've noticed that that nobody has stated the obvious: YOU CAN HAVE MULTIPLE PROJECTS OPEN AT THE SAME TIME! (Joey alludes to it with his "B" version) It sounds like you're stuck in "Avid think" where you have to have everything in the same project in order to work. That's NOT the case with FCP. The suggestions above were meant forby mark raudonis - Café LA
Re: Sharing work for re-edit out of office - 15 years ago
Debe, Here's my take on why many producers may have this impression of digitizing. First, a bit of history. In the days of old (linear) an editor HAD to look at all available footage. There was no shortcut for knowing what you had to work with. Then came the NLE. Early versions had so little storage that again, an editor HAD to selectively digitize ONLY what they would REALLY want. Thby mark raudonis - Café LA

Re: Sharing work for re-edit out of office - 15 years ago
"I'l be better next time but you won't believe it nor will I. I just get too involved in what I do." That's like saying I know it's gonna hurt, but I'm sticking my hand in the fire anyway! How dumb! Lot's of people claim that they're "too creative" to be organized. I say, BS! Organization is the key to creativity. If you can't find a shot, or if you can't share yourby mark raudonis - Café LA
Re: Need Info on FCP and Unity - 15 years ago
We're at 50 terrabytes split between two separate X-SANs. Tell them to stop their whining at start thinking about story! Markby mark raudonis - Café LA
Re: Need Info on FCP and Unity - 15 years ago
Kevin, If you ONLY want to repurpose their storage, that's a different issue. X-SAN WILL work with NON apple storage... you just have to work harder to set it up. This is a much different issue than trying to "hang FCP" off of a Unity. I'd suggest rephrasing the question: What do I have to do to connect non APPLE storage to an X-SAN? Good luck.

Re: FCP 6 XML disaster - 15 years ago
Dear "Festering", You can rant all you want, but the fact is, you didn't ask your on-line house what version of FCP they were running BEFORE you upgraded. Therefore, you upgraded too soon and now you're in this mess. Frankly, I would let the on-line house figure it out if they want your business. Incompatability between versions is a fact of life in this business. Always has bby mark raudonis - Café LA

Come on! Give the guy a break! You were once young and hungry. Pete, Oh so many years ago I piled all my worldly belongings into my car and drove out here from the East Coast. I had no job. Few contacts. No idea as to how to make a living. 30 years later, it turned out OK. My advice for you is to just come out here and start knocking on doors. It's going to be tough.

Re: P2 back-up/archiving soltuions...??? - 15 years ago
Mrshow, Other back up options: Blue RAY DVDs used as "data discs". Copy to digibeta? Not very efficient, but it would work. LTO drives mxf only. For back up, saving the Quicktime seems redundant. Buy larger drives so you have less of them. 750 gigs are now pretty cheap. Markby mark raudonis - Café LA

Andy and Tom, I can confidently say that this is a "New Wrinkle" in FCP 6.

Re: FCP 6 and opening a FCP 5.04 project - 15 years ago
No problems opening old sequences in new version, however, we ARE experiencing two issues: reconnecting media occasionally will ONLY allow you to reconnect ONE clip at a time. The "reconnect all files in same path" option only works sporadically. Media manager now has some issues with "shedding" media in multiclip sequences. We've taken a sequence from 5.12, media manaby mark raudonis - Café LA
Re: FCP 6 problems with re-capture - 15 years ago
Benjamin, We too are experiencing MAJOR problems with redigitizing media managed sequences. Specifically, we're noticing that Multiclips are NOT "shedding" unused media. This is causing us EXTREME pain, as we totally rely on the classic "off-line" to "on-line" workflow. Tom, What do you mean by "are the clips off-line" before running MM? Maby mark raudonis - Café LA

Media manager: not deleting unused media, projects moved from 5.1 > 6.0 - 15 years ago
While Media Manager has never been known for it's good behavior, the follow bug has stopped us dead in our tracks: We've got sequences started in 5.12, migrated them to 6.0 and attempted to media manage. We've discovered that Multicam clips are NOT "giving up" their unused media... in other words, we can't seem to get rid of 99% of the media. We've proven that this is a 6.0 issue byby mark raudonis - The Bug Report
Reconnect in FCP 6... one at a time - 15 years ago
We've discovered that the "reconnect" feature in FCP 6 will in some circumstance ONLY connect to one clip at a time, even if the check box for "connect all in same path" is active. I've seen word of this on other posts around the web, so I know it's not just me.by mark raudonis - The Bug Report
