It's the freelancer's machine, my mission to sort it out, so, the question is has this happened with any drives you guys have used, the same thing ever happen to any of you?

Many thanks, Bluey,by bluey - Café LA Re: OT: contract with clients - 12 years agoi always find the best way towards getting what's due is to threaten the client and indirectly - the client's family. for a nominal fee you can also hire someone to hack all their email accounts and even extract their online banking details. speaking as an editor who has not only been directly stolen from, but also who has worked for complete scum and also taken ex-employers to court, to no avby bluey - Café LA Re: OT: NEX VG10/FCP - 12 years agonope but if you do stumble upon any such info please do PM me or leave it here, all the very best, Bluey,by bluey - Café LA Re: OT: NEX VG10/FCP - 12 years agoi opted for this camera over the 7 and 5d, being interested in it for video, not stills - but then the res is so good you can just export frames from your timeline. also not having to do a voodoo dance backwards to get it to behave like a video camera is nice. yes the 5 and 7d's can capture great stuff, fine, but this sony sensor is only a fraction smaller than the 5d and the depth of field caby bluey - Café LA Re: Spinning Newspaper Headline Effect - 13 years agono worries nadia - and no disrespect harry, premier reply i must say, just shooting from the hip, a clear case as to why i'm not a moderator on this forum! btw the only things i'm referencing are 1- prepping the graphic in photoshop then exporting a flattened version, png, psd whatever 2- key-framing the scale and rotate options of the graphic in the motion tab in fcp, then exporting asby bluey - Café LA Re: Spinning Newspaper Headline Effect - 13 years agoif you know your graphic styles/photoshop and how to operate all parameters in the motion tab in fcp, this should be a pretty basic albeit with a few trial and edit renders for the right spin and motion-pull/pans to yours or your client's liking . . . alas there are many ways to skin a cat . . . graphic aptitude and a working knowledge of fcp can go a long way vs crossing the crossing the T'sby bluey - Café LA Re: Film Light leak effects - free. - 13 years agoMike Hardcastle Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > My apologies for the late response.
