Jeremy,

When Premiere Pro on Mac Intel comes out this year, you’ll have interop between AE and PPro. Might be an option worth investigating. In theory, you could cut in FCP, export to AE via AD and then bring the AE stuff back into PPro for color grading and final assembly. Of course, I’m not sure if this will work cross-platform.

Sincerely,
Oliver

Thanks, Oliver. It’s number 4 on my list of alternatives. I am very curious about Premiere on the Mac, but only if AJA will support it. If it all works, it would be the perfect solution to these kinds of jobs.

I can’t imagine that they wouldn’t because there is already support on the PC side.

Wally,

What do you use as a “client” confidence monitor ?

Sony PVM20L5/1 in one suite and the PVM14L5/1 in the other. One room has the 50″ Panny plasma and the other has the 42″ which is what we generally use when clients are here for editing and reviews.

The Wii / Xbox 360 is a cheap Vizio consumer plasma screen, in case you’re wondering. 🙂

Eventhough this is totaly off topic I’m looking for exactly the same thing Jeremy G is – a round-trip solution from FCP to AE. We do a lot of FX and compositing-shots for adds and such. My work-flow usually is

1. Offline-edit in FCP (DV)
2. Online-edit in FCP (10-bit SD generally)
3. Color Correction tend’s to be done in FCP with the built in tools. Works like a charm usually.
4. Effects are done in either Shake or AE.

It’s step 4 that is ha hassle if step 3 occurs, which it tends to do. Someone should come with a solution to send a complete edit to AE from FCP WITH the effects intact. If they might be rendered, that’s quite fine by me. But the best solution would be to have them brought into a plugin with also lives in After Effects.

Actually the above is my biggest issue today in my workflow. It tends to make me render out intermediates from FCP and export / import like hell to AE. Not good I must say

I knew I wasn’t the only one.
