We use it across 4 machines all day every day.

It is the best thing that has happened to the FCP P2 workflow.

It works extremely well.

[Gerret Warner] “It looks as if MXF import allows you to edit MXF inside FCP without taking up hard drive space with Quicktimes in Capture Scratch. Does it work? “

Yet you need to put the MXF files on the Capture Scratch…because you don’t want to be editing the originals, right? They take up the same amount of space. Unless we are talking about AVCIntra. The reason for editing native is not the amount of space it takes, or the copy/convert time…you still have to copy to the capture drive. It is all about access to the metadata.

Yes, you just work off the copied mxf files. It’s much easier to keep track of and archive.

Finally it all makes some sense. Thanks again to you both.
