[Danrnw] ”
As far as not mentioning any tips that are in your book, I produce pretty successful
infomercials and if it’s one thing you learn, you need to give people a taste of
what to expect from the product. You should consider giving away some tips.”Why don’t you do a search for Shane Ross in this forum and you will find thousands of free tips. I mean the DVD is $40, if you want to get organized in Final Cut Pro, and you like the advice Shane has been giving out for free for the past few years, I think it’s a pretty easy purchase and trust that you’re getting good information.

Wow, I don’t like to get jumped on just for offering marketing ideas.
Nobody is asking for freebees. If that’s the take you get, you are off base.
I was offering a proven sales idea to help him sell his product, that is all.I’ll ask my question about controlling project size another day.

easiest way to cut down on project file size is to work over severall projects.
e.g. fottage in one, scene cuts in one, rough cut(s) in one, fine cut(s) in one, master in one.only downside is that FCP doesn’t keep the masterclip to seq link between projects. e.g. if you cut footage from 1 project into another containing the seq you can’t execute the ‘show cip in browser’ command anymore (maybe that will change in FCP6). Also updating the name or any other info on your masterclip doesn’t update between projects.
so what I do is only create a new project and the end with a copy of my final master for fine tuning. Because FCP keeps all the clip info within the seq as well, you get a small project with all you need. If you don’t need the masterclip link from seq to browser clip, you can divide it like mentioned above.
That’s all there is to it…

PS I’m sure that Shane has a lot more tricks on his DVD’s so I’m not saying you shouldn’t buy them!

I think when you anchor a topic at the top of a forum, it needs to not allow responses. Since this topic is anchored, won’t it eventually push all other posts below it?
Or is it only anchored until a threshold number of DVDs are sold?

I go into detail on how to control project sizes on the DVD. Really I do.

Thanks Shane.
I’ll be one of your first batch of sales.
I truly did not expect controversy over my comment.
I guess the spirit in which it was intended got lost somewhere.
I apologize for this whole thing taking away from your product intro.Regards,

Shane hi,
I love reading your posts and I was eagerly expecting your DVD tutorial…I am a director/editor, two years ago I switched from py (premiere pro) to fcp and I am glad I did it…Not long ago I just finished editing my new, one hour documentary (www.honeymoonthemovie.net) about the sex industry in Japan soon to be distributed across USA, and now I am doing a feature length follow up on the same subject. The whole film was shot in hdv, I have captured over 100 hours of material, and I am also in between of making a switch from my g5 2,7ghz to macpro intel 2,66; 2tb hdd,2tbb fw800 (as a backup) and 4gb ram….Obviously in the process I realised how demanding good media management is and I look forward for your dvd. However I would like to know is there any talk about backing up the projects, in my new macpro setup I’ve ordered a lacie fw800 2tb disk just for that purpose…I went through the chapters but couldn’t tell if there’s any coverage on how apart from good management, how a good back should be done…
Best regards

I do have a section on Archiving, but that is for when the project is done. I don’t talk about having a backup of your footage on the DVD. But that is a wise idea. Have a good RAID or set of drives that you edit from, and another set of drives that contain all the media as backup.
That would have been wise to mention in the DVD, but I don’t think I did.

It is something that will be adjusted shortly. Thanks for mentioning that!
