[Ben Brodbeck] “if I use three 1TB drives for my media, can I raid them and still have 3TB of media storage? “
Yes and no.
Yes, if you stripe the drives together as RAID 0 you will get every bit of usable space on each drive X3, unlike other ‘flavors’ of RAID that use up some space for protection.
No because your 1TB drives are not really 1TB! Drive makers count 1KB as 1,000 bytes, a power of 10. Everyone else counts 1KB as 1024, a power of 2. So your 3 drive RAID will look more like 2.7 or 2.8TB when you’re done because each 1TB drive is closer to 900GB.
Clear as milk, I know…

[Zane Barker] “I’m a fan of Western Digital mostly because of there great warranty. “
I will say that WD has excellent warranty service, and that i have waaaay too much experience using it.
3 years ago I built a RAID for a client using 8 500GB WD drives, to date I’ve replaced 7 of them. I later bought a 9th drive as a spare, so that’s 7 out of 9 drives that have failed in only 3 years.
To WD’s credit, they replaced each one without asking for anything other than a serial # and the original drive back.
And that particular model of drive is no longer made, so they replaced the last few with the closest equivalent, including 2 750GB!.
Perhaps it was just a bad batch, or a faulty design? I’ve had better luck with Seagate & Hitachi.

You’re correct. Pop-up books are covered by the same copyright laws as any other book or work of art. If you get permission, there would be no problem. Maybe you can find a pop-up artist to work with you.

As with all thinks like this, it’s best to run some tests. Probably Pro Res “SQ” or “LT” would best suit your needs.

That feature was added to help us celebrate the Jewish holidays. My Mac is currently singing the “Kol Nidre”.

You’re about half way there.
You monitor the actual multi-camera display from the viewer, not the canvas. The canvas only displays single angles. It sounds like you’re switching which changes the active angle, but you need to make cuts.
I think you just need to read up about multiclip editing in the manual. The manual explains all this quite well.

I’m impressed by 2 things.
1- The amount of bandwidth.
2- How many Intel engineers does it take to demo a light bulb?

If the other “editor” has made useful notes, you can export batch lists from all of these projects and import them into a master project, then reconnect the media.
Based on your description, though, I’d be kind of surprised if they did that. I’m guessing you’ve got a lot of projects named “Untitled” with a lot of clips named “Untitled” all of which are from reel #001 with timecode that starts at 00:00:00;00.
You have my greatest sympathy. Good luck!

DV PAL is lower field first. All HD is upper field first. Sounds to me like your fields are becoming reversed.
