Ah, there you go. I had forgotten about the Duck! Need to look into that for myself now

I use Soundtrack to import OMF’s and then export stems as aiff back to FCP.
if FCP had native OMF importing that would be a huge timesaver for some of us.

In my book you should always be cutting in ProRes with RED. The proxy cutting method is a dicey balance of immediacy and cross-fingered RT trickery. ProRes however is a very solid codec for editing. Plus it plays wonderfully over FW800 from a GRaid.
On top of all that, ProResHQ from RED is exceptionally good looking compression and could possibly be used for finishing if the money and time runs out (it never does that, does it?).
The re-conform process from Log and Transfer from ProRes back to RED is super easy. Just follow the white paper on RED’s support page.
I can’t comment on 6 vs 8 RAM… but you absolutely should have matching RAM manufacturers. Any slight mismatch in speed is going to cause hiccups.

I heard all the onscreen buttons and timecode windows would be smaller.
And the color scheme would get brighter and happier!

NP2 is an anamorphic format. It’s meant to be stretched to 1280×720. It’s a cheat to begin with.
The problem they’re probably facing is their gear can’t deal with 720/24fps easily – it’s a niche format. I’ve done this myself: blow up 720/24 to 1080 for delivery to a telecine house. I wouldn’t worry in the slightest. If it’s a good upconversion it’ll probably look better than the native DVCPRO files.

Doug’s right on the money. Sounds like a Non-drop vs. drop TC problem.
In my humble opinion: at this stage, it will probably take you less time to eye match the edit, especially since the edits are within 2-15 frames of where they need to be. Then once you’ve found the clips and made everything match up, send out a fresh EDL from the clips FROM THE MOVIE, not the trailer.

I wouldn’t be surprised AT ALL if nothing is announced at WWDC.
For all we know, FCP has been EOL’ed. No, seriously. For all we know 🙂

No go on both those…. I had to have them re-export with something we could use….
libquicktime is software that lets linux use quicktimes…. and had nothing to do with Apple. So in this case it might as well not have been called a Quicktime at all.

2.22 to be exact.
2.20 for NTSC
Animation codec is assumed by FCP to be 1.8. You can right click on the clip in your bin -> item properties -> and change the gamma which is down the list.
Or go into User Settings -> editing -> and switch the Imported RGB Video Gamma to 2.22 (since Animation codec is an RGB codec.)

That is a curious thought. Obviously the end product (the video and the song) are easily copyrighted…. but can you copyright the ‘exact’ steps you used to attain that video?
like if you had the photoshop layers that a famous artist used to produce a piece of art… but substituted your own photography and made adjustments to fit…. Could the original artist have copyrighted the steps within a piece of software used to make the look? But what if you emulated it perfectly in GIMP?
Or in your case, what if someone was able to copy the edits, etc… of your piece in Premier or Avid?
