The only way to do this is to use a unix command in the terminal. Sorry, I don’t know the command syntax, but I’m sure you can look it up via google.

For DV, FCP only does scene detection after capture. You have to select the “DV stop/start detection” in the Mark menu to use it. For HDV, I don’t think it can be turned off. I think it has something to do with the way the GOP structure changes at the head of each new shot.

I’d include a timecode burn & reel # ‘for their convenience & reference’. Put them just high enough off the bottom to make cropping impractical.

Neither FCP nor Motion have any real 3D capabilities. What little 3D there is is limited to things like page peels & the filter you’ve already found. You really need to take this out to an app with some real 3d features, like AE or Combustion.

Sean, I think that Leo may have been referring to what goes into that ‘ergonomic box’. 😉

My feelings exactly, Dave. Here’s an example:
Back around the ‘turn of the century’ I sold digital still cameras for a major, nationally known camera store. A small company named Imagek spent maybe 2 or 3 years dragging a non-working prototype around to various trade shows. The device would have been quite clever. It would have fit inside most any 35mm SLR (& many point & shoots) without any modifications, & allowed you to shoot 1.2 megapixel digital pictures with it. You could pop it in & out at will. But, alas, it was only a ‘non-working prototype’. By the time they finally had a ‘working’ prototype (which to my knowledge never produced any pictures that anyone outside the company saw), consumer grade 2 megapixel point & shoot digitals were selling in the $200-500 range, which was a lot less than Imagek wanted to sell their mock up for. Can you say ‘out of business’? Sure you can!

If you already own FCP 5.x, I’d recommend that you peek into your manual. Otherwise, maybe a quick trip to the FCP page at apple.com would be enough?
FCP has supported DVCPro HD 720p natively in software (as in ‘doesn’t need no special hardware’) since v 4.5. With proper hardware, you could have worked with that format since at least v3.x.
