[Geoff Addis] “I understand that the latest 6.0.2 update to FCP includes the capability in easy set up to capture HDV via firewire with conversion to ProRes on the fly. Anyone know if this is correct?”

Yes this is correct, that is what this entire thread is about.

The BIG downfall is that you cannot log and capture anything, it only works as a capture now, just like capturing with the Apple Intermediate Codec.

I do not like not being able to log and capture so I will probably continue capturing the video as HDV and changing my render settings to ProRes, this way anything that needs rendering is rendered in the ProRes Codec.

[Tom Wolsky] “Unless it’s been changed again there is nothing at all in the license about using it for profit or anything like that. The only restriction are that you be eligible as a student, teacher or administrator”

No it has always been that you could to use it to make a profit. Several years back when I was In college I worked at the Campus Bookstore in the computer department, and it was a requirement on ALL academic software to sign an agreement that in part said that you would not be using the software to make money. It was for educational prepossess. That was only about 3-4 years ago.

You already asked this question today and have already received some good advice.

There is no need to double post.

Try posting this on the jobs forum.

Also you do NOT need to post this every day, you posted the same thing yesterday.

What is the format of the drive you are capturing to?

There is already a thread about this farther down.

You have compressor and that is really all you need to do it. There is not really anything you can acquire to expedite the process, you just have to give tot computer time to do its thing.

[Mitch Ives] “I know that was a problem area that held up the release of Leopard. “

Never heard that one, I don’t see how it would hold up Leopard, as it is HP’s responsibility to update there drivers to work with Leopard and NOT Apples.

It is ENTIRELY up to HP to update THEIR drivers.
