Making jump to HD
Our company is going to making the jump to HD soon. We are going to buy the JVC GY-HM790U camera. I am already using FCP 7 and I am running OS X Version 10.5.8 along with a 2×2.8GHZ Quad-core Intel Xeon with 12 GB 800MHX DDR2 BE Dimm. Would you recommend other equipment, software and or upgrades that would be helpful to me or may need to make my life easy?
Thanks so much for all the help. -

Hello Russell,
The Magic Bullet Instant HD plugin for FCP and After Effects will help you when you need to upres your old SD footage in your new HD projects. It’s easy to use and has a bunch of settings you can play with to get your old SD footage looking half decent.
What kind of hard drive setup do you have? Using even a small RAID will help you quite a bit with HD footage.
