Re: Custom Key Layout Question - 13 years ago
"that's what I did..." Sorry ! I posted too quickly. Only skimmed your post. I'm supposed to be cutting a film - not distracting myself by trawling LAFCPUGby Mike Hardcastle - Café LA

That's odd. "W" is 'wireframe' unless you've re-mapped your keyboard.by Mike Hardcastle - Café LA

It's pretty much the same. Give it a go...by Mike Hardcastle - Café LA
Re: Weird: Hiding FCP makes it inaccessible again - 13 years ago
Trashing preferences is something you only have to do occasionally - in my opinion, the truly brilliant thing about Preference Manager is it's ability to assign capture scratch disks on a project basis. For some inexplicable reason, FCP sets these at the programme level, rather than for each individual project. I have a number of external media drives - each one for a different project - and I nby Mike Hardcastle - Café LA

Presumably you're aware that "Q" toggles the viewer and canvas ?by Mike Hardcastle - Café LA

Re: Consumer footage conversion/stall/sync issue - 13 years ago
Could this be an audio sample rate problem ? I can't see why this would make the B-camera footage 'stall' exactly but it would seem likely that the consumer camera could have been recording at 32K. I'm no expert on this, but I think I'm right in saying that 32K footage rendered in a 48K timeline will go out of sync.by Mike Hardcastle - Café LA

Can't help thinking that maybe you should move to the Cook Islands. Way back in May last year they decided to follow a different course...by Mike Hardcastle - Café LA
Re: XDCAM Workflow - 13 years ago
Craig - thank you for your comments. I have discovered that - as you say - the files work fine in an FCP timeline and that I don't need to convert them to ProRes. I should explain that the files are being transferred from the camera to a USB portable drive on location, so I am just using XDCAM Transfer to import them onto an FW800 iTank. The first day's shooting arrived today and all importeby Mike Hardcastle - Café LA
Re: XDCAM Workflow - 13 years ago
Many thanks. You've clarified it perfectly - particularly your last post Jeff. A perfect example of the generosity I mentioned earlier ! It seems to me that quite often different opinions are expressed in different threads in forums such as this and it can be difficult to get a summary. I have been experimenting with the two suggested options and think I will go with the ProRes timeline. Sby Mike Hardcastle - Café LA
XDCAM Workflow - 13 years ago
As this is my first post here, can I begin by saying how much I appreciate the time and effort that gets put into this forum. There's a generosity exhibited which is truly admirable. I'm relatively new to FCP and will shortly be starting on a project which will be shot on XDCAM EX. Over recent weeks I have spent hours trawling through this forum gathering all the info I can about the best woby Mike Hardcastle - Café LA
