FCP 5 review

Maybe they’re keeping it to themselves. I’ll be getting my copy tomorrow and one way or another I’ll let you know how it works out.

I have it installed…I am tooling with it as we speak…

Ok, here’s a question I haven’t seen answered yet:

Can the multi-cam editing be set to “off-set” the cuts?

In other words, can I set it for -1 seconds so that as I’m editing, if I see the camera I’m using suddenly jerk, I can switch off of it 1/2 second later and have my cut fall 1/2 second BEFORE the jerk?

I haven’t heard anything about that but it seems like such a good (and yet simple) idea that I really want to think Apple would have thought of it too.

I’ll check it out…

I’m finding the capability to run multiple codecs in the same timeline. For months this was a rumor, then when FCP5 was announced it was dubbed untrue. But I have an orange RT-Extreme bar over a DV clip inside an Uncompressed timeline. It plays back fine with no rendering.

This could be a Blackmagic thing. Can anyone else confirm this?

I’m going to try more combinations. DV50, IMX, etc. Maybe even HD and SD can be mixed. I’ll post the results.
