Re: Feature Request - Keyframe Pair modifier - 17 years agoYEP........audio editing in the viewer. Left hand on the key board, right hand on the mouse. To be honest I never felt at odds with FCP audio editing. Seems on long editing sessions eventually enough becomes repetitive except for FX. I've also noticed that I tend to remember the audio wave shape I'm creating with key frames and it's usually very close. But heck if there's a more efficient way..by Neil Lamens - FCP Feature Requests Re: First FCP Problem in many Years - 16 years agoWell..........it seems the Gods are on my side this season.

I feel the same way that I need; at least to clean-up the system and since it can't be read, shouldn't be missed. I'm burning a DVD as I write and have 3 other projects that I want to be certain are safely saved. Then I'll dig inside. I figure since we're going as is, I'm going to keep on keep'in on.

Turned back on and my Audio/video drive does not show on the desk top. Played around with system, can't even find audio/video drive listed. I'm 90% saved on assets.......Going to try to complete project using ext drives. This will push it to perform or not.... I guess. Is there a way of locating this drive???? or that whereby Neil Lamens - Café LA First FCP Problem in many Years - 16 years agoHello: Well...................I finally got it. I'm running FCP3 maxed out. For the first time today, I'm working 2 projects of differing formats 4:3 and 16:9. I was capturing in a seq setting of 16:9 after working a 4:3 project.

I thought it started off good but the tempo dropped off to fast and as a viewer I wondered a bit. Hope thats helps???

G4,FCP3 Basically have worked FCP3 to death and very happy with stability and what I needed it to do. I decided this is probably the final "window" to upgrade a G4, but allow me to extend out long enough for to purchase a new system.

Thanks..........Sailhoby Neil Lamens - Café LA John and Wayne.....did it!!! - 17 years agoJohn and Wayne........not quite but almost a classic... "howdy Pilgrim", couldn't resist. I went ahead and ordered "the stuff" for my upgrade I asked about. I really appreciate your getting back to me. I'm still scared though......going on FCP3 in 2002 was quite a bit ..."unstabling".

Although I have not used the codec yet I do understanding we have the H.264. At present when you play through your laptop, depending on the show, is each show screen size different. Funny,........I was early to FCP3 to now, but late to the pod/vodcasting. Want to be open and better prepared for the "neby Neil Lamens - Café LA Re: Compression - 17 years agoHi Richard...... Also interested in current and future compression issues and FCP. The text I selected was Mastering Internet Video by Damien Stolarz. Provided a sound base of understanding....I liked it. Sailhoby Neil Lamens - Café LA FCP and Apple "Inc"'s new wireless transferr - 17 years agoHello: In the future what resolution will we be compressing to in FCP for a computer download to be transferred wireless to our TV sets. Will there be a standard...(can't believe I said that) or a range???? Unless I'm missing something, the download time will be extensive or the picture quality will be poor and therefore why watch on TV??

I'm hoping you get more questions from others, I'll keep checking. Sailhoby Neil Lamens - Show and Tell Re: Who saw the History channel Doc last night??? - 17 years agoThanks Shane......... I'd forgotten about the soundtrack which I also thought excellent. The haunting drums, cut amongst action, stills with increase/descraes in volume and behind the VO was very good. One last question but in the hopes that others ask more questions: when you say "master stills".........are those purchases from museums, or publishing houses, or foundations?? Andby Neil Lamens - Show and Tell Re: Who saw the History channel Doc last night??? - 17 years agoHi Shane: If you wouldn't mind, could you provide a bit of back ground as to how you got involved in this project. Questions: Do you work as an independent editor or are you part of a production house that bid and was awarded part of the project or was this project created with your involved from inception???? How did you approach the History Channel with this projecby Neil Lamens - Show and Tell Who saw the History channel Doc last night??? - 17 years agoHey Shane...........saw your name in the credits. Really enjoyed the show, I like the slight tilting as you pan the still shots. Also the rhythm of a cut from interviewer speaking to the mock action or to a still was excellent. Appreciate all you do here and kinda cool seeing your work.

Neilby Neil Lamens - Café LA Re: MUSIC CUES - 17 years agoMark: I agree with Derek in that the selection is a gut to artistic decision. Here is an approach I used to get to the artistic decision in my particular case. Of course started on-line with sound sites and purchased my royalty free generic selections. I then selected cuts from the CD's that could work, might work, would work, and some I'd make work and loaded them on my PC thby Neil Lamens - Café LA First magazine review of OUR (lafcpug) work!!!! - 17 years agoHello all:......this is Sailho- I thought I would share the link below with everybody but especially for Derek, Tom, Shane, Michael.

I was at 1 hr 50minutes and no way would it fit on a DVD-R authored through DVD studio pro. Like the fella's above said its about the compression. I started by contacting a replicator.
