Also, something like todo instead of using the center parameter in the motion tab

Just start using image&wireframe in the Canvas(top right) and place them where you want to see them

*pay attention to the title and action safe marks*

You can also, hold shift and drag on the x or y axis.

hope this helps.

a few simple things,

Stack your clips then,

Just size one of the clips the way you like it, then CMD+C or right click>copy

Then Right click>Paste Attributes to the other clips in the stack.
check basic motion or crop

*you can apply this to as many clips as you want.

The USB is the problem. Like you will hear over and over again.

You can also start buying enclosures with FW ports and just making your own drives for cheaper.
but internal drives 2.5 or 3.5 and then casing. Still cheaper then buying a new portable HD off the shelf at the store.
Newegg.com,Macsales.com, or Directron.com

Just don’t edit on USB HD’s

It is 4:2:0
You should look into the cineform codec, for high end FX plates.

Make sure that the DCIM folder is included, not just the MVI and THM files. If you stripped that already,
try to make a DCIM folder then place all files intact in that folder.

Moving forward when you offload your cards to Harddrives make a new folder>name it(example:010111_Cam_A_card1)>copy all or just the DCIM folder>Paste to folder on Hard Drive

This will be recognized as a card only if the DCIM folder is intact. Not just the files.

Hope that helps.

Do you want to export in AVI? if so you will need flipformac, the full version is not included in FCP
Also, what version of FCP are you on?

In the browser window(top right) right click on the Sequence icon you want exported choose> export>using qt conversion. Then choose the compression you desire.

Check your sequence settings, Opt+Q while your in the current timeline you want exported.
make to compression is set to DV.

hope that helps.
