Instead of the typical physical aspect you could go with the mental/emotional stuff like learning respect, self esteem, mental stuff like that.

If you captured anamorphic why is your sequence settings not anamorphic?

Just use the easy set up, before you capture and create your sequence.

The Apple intermediate codec is not available for windows

That all depends on the sound system, I always like to go check out the venue before the actual shoot, not only douse it let me know exactly where its at and how long it takes to get there so I am not late but then you can also find out what exactly you need to bring to get the job done right.

I would say that you are over paying for just the computer. You can get a brand new mac pro (2GHZ & 2GB Ram & a 20 ” display for only $200 more.

If that system was posted on creagslist or any other online listing I would report them for trying to sell Illegal software.

Where you are just starting out and you feel like you must purchase look into a iMac. I usually recommend not purchasing until you know what you need. Take a class first, decide what format of video you want to work with (different types of video formats will have different computer hardware requirements)

Basically educate yourself about what you need before you drop that much money on something.

They saying that there are no install discs for all of that software, So ether no don’t have then which is Illegal and if you buy it it means that you are also using illegal pirated software.

I say DON’T DO IT IT IS ILLEGAL

If they are including all the discs with the computer (which they should) you can simply erase the system hard drive and start fresh.

If they are not including the discs DO NOT BUY IT it is illegal so to just give some one software.

I had a boss once that bought a computer like that one and the guy did not include the discs, and it turned out that the guy that sold him the computer didn’t even own the original discs he had disc images of them. My boss didn’t care because the computer wash cheep, That not the only dishonest thing he did ether, good thing I no longer work for him, when your boss is dishonest to you you know its time to leave.

I would suggest getting a legal copy of Final Cut.

Did you do a clean install?

It is always best to erase and install instead of upgrading to a whole new version (10.3 to 10.4 for example)
