You’ll need to use AE or Combustion to do this. You won’t be able to do this in FCP or Motion because both of those apps are limited to no more than 4096 pixels in either direction.
And while you’re at it, make sure you make the orange broadcast safe!

Go to toolfarm.com and take a look at what they sell for FCP. Toolfarm is a vendor for all of the plugins mentioned here and many more.

You can do this if you create different users on your Mac, then in FCP’s system preferences you can designate one scratch disk for the first user, quit FCP, log on as the second user and designate a new scratch disk. Whenever you sign on, FCP would use only the scratch disk for that user.

Look up sequence settings & clip settings in your FCP manual. It’s all explained there, so there’s no real need for someone to explain it here.

[Kevin Monahan] “My thought: Never render as you work. Just step through your effect, then move along to the next task. When you walk away for lunch or the end of the day, start your render.”
That’s what I do, unless there’s a client that needs to see it rendered.
I’m usually satisfied with previews, still frames & scrubbing through to get an idea of the final product. Once I’ve got the edit close to locked down I’ll start rendering.

[Martha Wilson] “how expensive is it to get a film print?”
Typically somewhere between $20-30,000, depending on the length of your film. Plus the cost of upconverting, color correction, etc.

[Landon McCrary] “After the edit we discovered that we needed to recapture a couple of shots but we cannot find a good method to trace back to the original files which are archived on back up disks.”
One method would have been to never, ever change the name of clips from P2, XDCam or other tapeless cameras. For exactly this reason.
FCP gives you several fields in the browser where you can add shot numbers, takes and comments. Use those, but leave the original media names alone.

[Shane Ross] “CMOS and rolling shutter are just plain unacceptable to me.”
You mean like in this picture?

Which is from this page.
And you might want to read this page on trademarks, too.

[James Agnew] “yes, and i’ve tried it with normal as well. it actually looks ok if I switch on field rendering, but I don’t want my graphics to move in fields.”
It sounds like Motion is only rendering one field when you have the field rendering turned off. What are your motion project settings?
