  Steps for using external hard drive for switching from PPro to FCP

  Posted by Martin Tiller on June 15, 2005 at 6:38 pm

  Hi,
  I’ve been trying to work out a deal with with another videographer about editing some of his weddings. I use Pro 1.5 and he uses FCP (I think FCP 3, but not sure.)

  What work flow or steps would I need to take to edit the wedding in PPro and then send it to his FCP system for him to print to tape or whatever, of course using only an external hard drive.

  And right now I don’t have a deck, because I go straight from camera to PPro to Encore.

  (I’m trying to work this out because I’m on crutches for the summer with a broken shin, so I’m not much a video shooter at the moment…)

  So any thoughts are appreciated!

  Thanks,
  Martin

  Hi Martin,
  I would reccomend checking out Automatic Duck

  Thanks Aanarav, I had totally forgotten about the Duck and will probably go that route.

  But without needing all of my cuts and transitions, just the final product, could I export to AVI or Quicktime and have him print to tape from there?

  Thanks a bunch.

  Yes, you can do that. Is there any reason you can’t go back direct to tape from Adobe?

  Going to tape has always been an option, but I don’t have a deck at the moment and sometimes his weddings are a little longer than a miniDV tape, which is where the hard drive comes in. And a hard drive is cheaper than a new deck.

  Thanks for the info.
