Jerry,
how about just dragging the clip from the T-L back to the Browser and re-naming it there?

[almux04] , or do you have to first buy your upgrade and instal only the new version”

Correct,
Except the new binary version is not an upgrade, it’s a new version.

[glenn chan] “I believe Compressor does something similar, since it supposedly inherit’s Shake optical flow processing (which is what the Teranex does). However, I’m not sure how good the actual implementation is- I’ve never compared Compressor to a Teranex. Supposedly, Compressor does get artifacts sometimes.
“
I’ve not seen artifacts with Compressor

I’ll agree,
definately the best non-hardware solution, BUT very very slow.
Try it and you’ll get old waiting!

Even easier,
Change the frame-rate in QuickTime Pro.

Hi Arron,
Two questions
1. How have you connected those drives to your G5?
2. What is your energy saver set on? Should be to “never sleep”.

[sparkies4jk] “I was trying to update my funal cut studio yesterday on apples update site ( https://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/download/ ) and when i went to type in my serial number, red text appeard that said “You appear to have already downloaded the Final Cut Studio update.” I never have! Anyone know a way around this?”

Which version of FCP are you running?
5.1 is the new universal version not an update.
You have probably reached the last update of your installed version

But please consider quality,
FCP is not a format conversion tool, so decide what your final output format will be and convert the other media to this before editing.
Consider the quality of the conversion also, some of the s’ware converters look ok but blow them up to delivery size/codec and then judge. IMHO the best one is in Compressor2’s optical flow technologiy, VERY slow, really only useable in an Intel Mac.
Same with 16:9 and 4:3, it’s a bit like circles and squares, you can do it but can your client accept the result? So which rato do you want/need?
Depending on your delivery ( test for quality loss), to avoid the black bars, you can scale and cropp the 4:3 to fit into a 16:9 sequnce, but you already knew that. Not bad for web or DVD. but ? for other formats.

Cheers
Alexander
