thanks Tom
I typed in media manager in help section but nothing came up.

NOt quick way to tell FCPE, that I’m working on the actual clip on hard drive?

[Kevin C.]

No quick easy anser for this?

[Tom Wolsky]

I have no idea what the last sentence means. What is FCPE? Are you using FCP or FCE? There is no media manager in FCE. There is no simple way to do what you want in that application.

All the best,

Tom

You can do this in FCP with media manager.

But not FCE?
Is there anything on my computer that will let me cut directly on files? quicktime?

[Richard Harrington]

Mark and In and an Out for each clip and choose File > Export Movie

Then make a self-contained movie

[Kevin C.]

Thanks Richard seems to work well.

Curious though, why does my editors footage need to be renedered. I can’t see the footage until I render it. In my FCP studies, I remember dragging in clips and being able to examine the footage before any rendering. (becuase it’s HD?)

[Tom Wolsky]

Make sure you clip settings match exactly your sequence settings. Check item properties for the clips and for the sequence.

All the best,

Tom
