  • FCP5 – fix Media Manager, better OMF support?

    Posted by Russ Johnson on April 18, 2005 at 12:49 am

    Yes, very nice new features, but I’ve been hoping for some fixes. Just hoping that someone at NAB could ask about the above subjects. Sorry to be a bore.

    Thanks for any info,

    I posted this in a thread a little ways down, but given the importance of better Media Management, I’ll post it again. I’m sure we’ll get more details from those actually attending the show, but this is a quote from the Apple website, under the heading Workgroup Editing:

    >Capture once, save time and share media with multiple editors using a
    >consolidated storage pool powered by Xsan. Improved Media Management Tools
    >provide support for reconnecting and managing file across large Xsan environments,
    >budgeting your real-time effects according to available Xsan bandwidth.

    It will take some time to sort out whether the software can live up to its marketing.

    Yes it does look the same. But maybe they actually made it do what it’s supposed to do, which wouldn’t require an interface change. I’d be thrilled with “as advertised” functionality for now.

    What about OMF? Any chance FCP 5 adds volume automation to its OMF export. Anyone at NAB to find out? I fear Soundtrack Pro means Apple no longer cares about supporting interchange standards fully(OMF AAF etc…)
