  Rock solid change lists in FCP

  Posted by George Mandl on December 30, 2010 at 1:59 am

  Hello There,
  I’ve just run into a guy at a post-sound facility who gave me the old “Avid is so much better than FCP” speech. This was specifically in connection with change lists. He said that FCP-generated change lists are often full of errors. I asked what he meant, and he said that they often give bad timecode ins and outs. It seemed odd to me, but I wanted to ask the cow community about this. Do you deal with change lists from FCP for sound? If so, what settings are you using, and are they working well for your sound house?

  Here is an example of one that I made. Do you see anything wrong with it, inherently (aside from the weird formatting that happens when its pasted in this window)?

  Thanks,
  George
