And what kind? Arri? XDCam? Betacam? DSLR? DVCam? These are all very different acquisition methods, that need different workflows." Jude - have you ever been on a job which required differing workflows due to multiple formats being used on the same project? if so which ones and how did you proceed?

Personally i think Lacie drives are more suited to text document storage than video editing, i'd never under any circumstances buy one of their products again and have since warned at least two fellow eby bluey - Café LA Re: mts file to FCP? - 12 years agoWhatever the label it was cheap, it worked, and quickly converted all my mts files into ProRes422 with . . . no problems what so ever, for the documentary/art film i cut in FCP. I'm not promoting the software, just forwarding my experience with it - which is as stated. Granted my project wasn't finished at Industrial Light and Magic, but hey. Bluey,by bluey - Café LA Re: mts file to FCP? - 12 years agopending any other advice and admittedly i haven't read through the other recommendations, but i used the Aunsoft MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac and it converted my 6.3hrs of mts files to accurately, quickly and with no problems at all for editing in FCP. Bluey,by bluey - Café LA Re: Should I get FCP 7? - 12 years agoHi Loren, would you say - yourself included - that Premiere Pro is likely to claim the majority of ex-FCP users and that the majority of post houses will now being running Premiere alongside their Avid suites (if they weren't already) instead of FCP and X? Also how long do you think it will be possible to keep a studio running on FCP 6.6/7 before a program change would become unavoidable?

Bluey,by bluey - Café LA which server for storage and networking? - 12 years agoHi - i'm doing some research on networking and storage solutions for a 6-7 machine post production studio mac/FCP based, and just wanted to see if anyone here has worked with or instigated a similar set up and if so what solutions may have been used, which server etc. Perspectively each tower would be accompanied by a 6tb external drive for archiving, and all the machines then connected to a mby bluey - Café LA Re: Breaking News: Say Hello Again to FCP 7. #FCP7 - 12 years ago"But like Walter said, why not just use that money to get into something supported" . . . right . . . although i don't see why Apple wouldn't just keep the FCP structure the same and run it (a little while longer anyway) with a small development team keeping it trim with changing requirements, shame, damn shame. ce-la-vie, Blueyby bluey - Café LA Re: Producers that don't pay!!!!! - 12 years agoGotta say there's nothing worse than 'getting burnt' although in my experience these kind of people in any trade don't thrive for long due to the karma of their 'scum styles'. Also they can' hide their dishonesty for too long when word of mouths in play - no matter how talented they are at showing two faces, or more. i'm sure the dirty-washing in public' helped Jeff blow off some steam, though cby bluey - Café LA As editor on a short film - 12 years agoHi there - I've just accepted an offer to edit a short film, working with the director and cinematographer. It's a low/no budget piece but of course everyone has and shall be giving it 300% from start to finish. The director has worked on many major feature films in varying capacities, and it's understood this is something he's pulled together of his own accord.

In reality what they've done is release a new program called 'imovie pro' labeled it as 'FCP-X' and then scraped the FCP editing software. I sure hope they do take notice of the petition, FCP7 as it stands is still a fine tool and perspectively would be so for quite some time.
