We have just finished editing a 35 full length movie on FCP. .It was 24p and we had dv tapes. Worked quite smooth.. Filmtools made it work. (but I am in the land of PAL and we edited in 24@25.. )

You have to use the firewire out. Decklink does not support this feature. If you connect a dv player via firewire, and connect your monitor to the dv player everything works. When will Decklink support this ?? No idea.. very annoying

Thats one of the cool things about FCP compared to Avid. You don’t need to render qt files when you import footage. As long as your timeline is using the same codec settings as the footage you will not have to render. Uncompressed 8bit is piece of cake. Apple-0 buttons will let you change timeline settings. (remember to do this BEFORE you insert the footage..)

Looks like using Compressor in finalcut studio and network render might be a sexy solution. You might asking in the Finalcut forum as well as you might reach more people with your question.. Good luck with your choice whatever it will be

Using Xsan and having the same problem.. but very seldom. If I take a restart everything works. Annoying. Try asking in the xsan forum, since it can be xsan related

I am experiencing the same problems wth my digital film lab and fcp. VERY ANNOYING

Only one mac, or a couple of macs working together ? Xraids are nice, but a complete xsan system might be a good idea if you plan on expanding with more editing suites in the future.. Do you have a price limit ? The xsan system is very userfriendly, but you can probably find cheaper stuff around

Remember to set the scratch disk correct before you start FCP

And remember that dv50 is sometimes a bit troublesome.. choose correct codec BEFORE opening the log and capture window (changing between different dvcpro settings confuses ftp quite a lot)
