  FCE to FCP

  I’m sure I already know the answer to this. Our client wants to purchase Final Cut Express to offline a project that we will online in Final Cut Studio. I am assuming there’s no compatibility issues?

  Very bad assumptions. What do you mean by offline? You can edit DV, HDV, and AVCHD in FCE. In the latter two there is no timecode so that’s not going to help. in DV timecode is not displayed in the application though it is in the QuickTime file. There is no Media Manager. What exactly is it that you want to do and how do you think you can get from here to here?

  All the best,

  Tom

  The client wants to capture all the footage (either DVCAM or HDV, not determined yet) and divide the editing time between them and us, to save money. Maybe the term ‘offline’ was a misnomer. But they would be shuttling the hard drive between their place and ours and we would hook up their drive to our FCS and continue editing, then they take it with them and continue editing on their own.

  Thanks,

  Mike
