  FCexpress4 to FCS and back

  Posted by Jim on May 31, 2009 at 3:12 pm

  I have several clients that would like to pre-edit some project & have me finish them off. At present they are using iMovie. Files that are digitized in iMovie need to be rendered in FCS, which hobbles the work-flow.

  Would Final Cut Express 4 be a better work-flow? Also, would I be able to send them HDV and P2 footage on a hard drive and have them create selects?

  Thanks in advance for your input.

  Cheers,

  (Mac intel, FCS 6.0.4)

  Hey Jim

  FC Express is a one way workflow. You can go from FC Express to FCP but not back.

  FC Express would be a better workflow than iMovie. Especially if the footage needs to be re edited.

  P2 will not import into FC Express or iMovie.

  Hope I answered all your questions.
