You will only get a dialog box if your sequence settings do not match your clip settings and you have a newer version of FCP. You can also go to the Sequence > Settings and change your sequence settings to match your footage and then you won’t have to render every time. If your clips are not FCP friendly (if they are avi, for example) then you will have to use a program like MPEG Streamclip to make the clips into mov files.

As for your Capture Scratch folder, you need to go up to Final Cut Pro > System Settings and choose your scratch disk.

I don’t know about the color documents folder question, sorry.

This seems to relate to a question I have: I have a V1U already (which I quite like) and bought Sony’s HVR-DR60 hard disk recording unit to go along with it, but I can’t get it to register in the Log and Transfer window of my Final Cut Studio 2. Both Apple and Sony tech support tell me that the hard disk isn’t supported. Has anyone had success using the HVR-DR60 with Final Cut Studio 2?

I’m running Mac OS 10.4.2 on a 2 x 3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon.

Thanks!

Also, watch out for timecode breaks.

I also really love Visual Hub for converting just about any file to something I can use in Final Cut… https://techspansion.com/visualhub/

I thought that would mean I wouldn’t actually move any of the clips?

Everything in the browser (the whole project). I was trying to move the whole thing from one RAID to the other.

I go to the Media Manager, then in Media I choose Move. I include render files. One of the times I checked Delete unused media from duplicated items, but I will never do that again because it made all my clips into little clips with nearly the same name and then it aborted so I can’t connect the media again but must recapture it. Moving on: I base media file names on existing file names. Project: Duplicate selected items and place into a new project. Include nonactive media multiclip angles. I choose the Media Destination (the new RAID) and click OK. When it says Additional Items Found I Add the item to my new project.

Thanks very much! Trying to use the Media Manager was extremely frustrating. Hopefully it will be a more useful tool in FCP Studio 2.

It’s not the RAID’s fault: the fact that it’s failing is why I’m moving the data to a new RAID. I think my original question was: am I using Media Manager incorrectly? If I’m not, and if Media Manager is not a good tool, then is it advisable to just move the files in the Finder?
