And you are absolutely right. I didn’t mean to take away from that, sorry.
There’s also Xto7 to get back to FCP7 and all that it brings to the table, but there’s some limitations there, as with Resolve (compound clips being a big one, and not a lot of filters translate).

Which could be a HUGE issue if you are trying to judge broadcast levels. Also, since this thread started based on mixing sizes and frame rates, how does that translate to Resolve? You are probably better off exporting a self-contained QT and then looking at it through KONA TV to an external monitor and/or scopes.

For that matter (and price), you could also take your master to the nearest high-priced post house and have them either do the job or check your own. But, then of course you could just spend your dough on a “real” NLE to do that. 🙂

Yessir. That’s what I do. What’s a pain is if you have to go back and fix, then export another movie.
FCPX ain’t ready yet! 😀

Resolve lite is F-R-E-E, but decklink hardware is required to get video out.
Yeah, I said decklink.

How is using a Decklink card and a free copy of Resolve an expensive workaround?

If you already own AJA and Matrox products, buying a Decklink card is an expensive workaround, especially if the only real upside is FCPX.

Sorry David $295 is NOT expensive.

Quite interesting how a simple post about my joy that a certain difficult problem has now an elegant solution has gone off the rails. Not to say that the new topic has some interesting points but it has nothing to do with I wrote in the first place.
And all because some are threatened by the word ‘easier’. Are you afraid there is an army of naive amateurs out there that will burn you alive when you open the door of the castle of knowledge and true professionalism?
What are you trying to defend? Why do you want things complicated? Because somebody without your years of experience suddenly can get the same result?I stand by my original post: The way FCPx with frame sizes and frame rates is brilliant! And I didn’t read a single argument that disputed this. I read a lot of arguments disputing other things but that seems to be the way it works..
