Yes, and no, Francois. Thanks for your full answer, though. Is it better, then, to perform the compression before I import the file into StudioPro, or can I expect to see better results by inmporting a large file into StudioPro, and letting it do the compression? – Rob

[Rob Gee]

Excellent. Just what I was looking for. Thank you.

Is there a good thunmbnail guide to using Comperessor? the manual doesn’t seem to be much help on this. What are the basic steps I must take to export a timeline sequence into Studio Pro? Thanks very much.

[Rob Gee]

I’m not sure – shut down, restart, and make a clean install of FCP perhaps?

I’m still a fairly new user, hopefully someone with more experience will respond to you. Good luck, Angela!

Haven’t heard of ramseeker, but i’ve seen crucial recommended on here before.

[Rob Gee]

If your project is effects-heavy, perhaps you could try making a cuts-only version until more RAM arrives. I’d make your order a RUSH!

(I was happy with crucial.com — had my new RAM in two days). – Rob

[Rob Gee]

Memory is not hard drive space. How much RAM do you have?

You can change the amount of memory that FCP will use in your preferences. Have you tried increasing it?

[Rob Gee]

What a treat it is to go to bed with a question, and wake up with the answers. Thanks much, guys!

[Rob Gee]

VERY nice looking footage. Couple questions: did you add the mask in FCP, or is that the letterboxing that your Panny gave you? It’s very wide, almost a Cinemascope ratio.

Also, your colors are so bright a vivid. Did you do anything in FCP or during compression to give the colors an extra punch? Nice work. – Rob

[Rob Gee]

Gotcha. Grazie.

[Rob Gee]

Presto – thanks, John.
