Final Cut Pro – why do they keep asking me!?
-
Harm; but I totally understand what you’re saying. I am in total agreement about the client who wants me to use tool B – goofy. Yet, look at the advantages from their standpoint – the possibility of them updating the project in the future, transfer to a larger post-house, etc. Am I correct?

A couple of years ago I decided it would be good for me to get Apple Pro Certified on FCP. The majority of the job postings I saw were for FCP editors. I had never touched it before, but I spent a week learning it and got my certification. I put it on my resume and shortly thereafter got a gig subbing for a FCP editor at an ad agency. A few months later they switched over to Matrox Axio systems running Premiere. I had cut a few things on Premiere, so the transition wasn’t bad. I’m still freelancing there to this day. I guess my point is that anything that gives you options is good. I’m running a Mac Pro with both Premiere and FCP, so I can go whichever way the wind blows.

As I stated at the outset, if it makes sense business wise, go for it.

I have lost a 30-minute program in premier pro and need help! Have you ever seen a VideoSegment.cpp-55 error message that leads to a runtime closure? Any way to get the file back?
Thank you!

Do you have the ‘automatically save every 20 minutes’ turned on?
-
Every 10 minutes. Max 5 copies.

Back in the 90’s, AVID was the system of choice for selected ad agency types. If you didn’t use AVID, they would take their business elsewhere. Now FCP is becoming the industry standard within some parts of the industry. If your clients want a given product and you can deliver it, that is all that should matter.
Obviously if the deliverable is something which Premiere cannot handle, such as OMF export as someone else suggested, or using an existing Motion or FCP project, then that is a simpler answer.

My next system will be a mac I plan to run both adobe and fcp
on the mac os and vegas or any other nle of win app on win os.
I will have an extra wintel for any othe wintel only app.adobe cs3 has some great tools and work flow between all adobe products that are world standard in most aspects of image creation and manipulation un matched by none.
Apple has others. So I figuer if I buy a mac I have everything covered.
BTW I heard that matrox was making an axio type hardware for the mac does any one know about this?
