FCP Rescue 6.0
We just installed FCP Resuce 6.0 in only one of our Final Cuts ver 6.02 for testing. We work in two formats SD & HD, has anyone figured a way to have a dual set-up for Rescue?

Hi Brian,
I’m in the same boat as you: I work in 5 different HD formats; 1080i uncompressed, 1080i ProRez HQ, 720p UC and ProRez, and HDV native. FCP Rescue 6 can only do one at a time on one drive or partition. I’ve used it for some time, and it works well for what it does.
Have a look at FCP Manager, mentioned in an earlier post:
https://www.reinphase.com/en/software/fcp-manager/
Right now, they only have the demo available, but it is free; it is limited to 3 different preference “presets” on a drive, and you can’t export to another drive, but it might solve your problem. I corresponded with their US rep, and he said a boxed version will be coming soon, available through a dealer, with all the features enabled. Perhaps they may also eventually have an electronic licence code download available after payment.
$99.00 might seem a bit steep, but it really solved the problem for me of having to change all the prefs, scratch disks etc. each time I switch to another project in another format.
Hope this helps.

Only problem with FCP Rescue 6 is it crashes under Leopard 10.5.2. I think it is only Tiger compatible.

Also Brian,
I forgot to mention, I’m running 6.0.2, on 10.4.11, on a G5 dual 2.7. Don’t know how FCP manager will work on Leopard, although they say it will in their system requirements.
