    appzapper is a gem for this exact situation. but remember all apps in the suite.

    a good practice also is to create .dmgs of the install discs onto a firewire drive for backup. but if you use these .dmgs for install it is much faster you can mount them all and it will run through everything in one shot.

    Bob,
    Thanks for the alternative and explanation. What are the advantages of the IO to SDI into the Kona 3 over a HD10AVA. It seems they both do the same thing. I could run the compninputs of the DH10AVA to a patchbay and patch my BetaSP, HDV deck or any other analog output device that comes my way. From my perspective it is the difference of 1500-1800 dollars depending on where I purchase the hardware. Thank you for your patience as I educate myself on the array of possibilities out there.

    Thank you gentlemen for your insight. I should have been more clear. The facility is a sports arena that will soon be installing new HD Diamond Vision displays. Currently the game presentation is completely SD. I am positive a majority of the outside advertisers will submit in SD (the need to keep the UVW). They are going to utilize HD/DVCProHD for the inhouse production in order to take full advantage of the new displays. I was just trying to configure a FCP system that editors could operate with minimal switching between hardware. The less software configurations they have to switch the easier on everybody. I just envisioned simply patching a few cables as opposed to going into prefs and switching capture devices. The IO L/A in combination with the Kona 3 and the HD10AVA is a perfect system and with a little training most should grasp the idea. And heck, whats an extra grand or two when your building an entire suite.

    remember first…there is no such thing as “light after effects work”

    I am sure if you serch the buisness forum you will find plenty of suggestions. Average them out. Seattle is a fiarly large market so compare accordingly. I would also suggest setting up your rate before you get started. Be specific about hours/rate and what it will cost the client once he begins to add in the extras.

    I am curious why apple would even offer a glossy finish?
    1. relfection
    2. shows dust and smudges
    3. poor color representation
    4 show any imperfection (scratch or twisted monitor)

    I see it as a poor attempt to gain market share. Just because dell and HP do it doesn’t mean they should.

  • Been there… done that. I found it to be an issue between 5 and 5.1. I never updated my old g5 box to 5.1.2 but when my new MacPro was installed wavform from prevous projects refuse to show up unless zoomed all the way in.

    Was the original project native to dv? Looking past your initial inquiry I would be more concerned with your promo being dropped on a dv tape then bumped up to beta. I would suggest as others have exporting a qt in whatever format/codec the project started as and have the post house lay that to tape. just my 2 sense.

    i have yet to see black. For myself it continues to be grey but tiny x’s appear along the horizontal line where the level line would be. I am ging to run through some scenarios to see if it is isolated to one kind of audio track i.e. captured vs. imported .aiff

    Same problem here. New system stats:

    FCP 5.1.2
    OSX 10.4.8
    2 x 3 GHz Dual Core Intel Xeon
    4 GB 667 DDR2 FB-DIMM (FCP System Settigns / Memory & Cache showing App Max Usage 2560 MB?)
    SAN / Editshare via 10gb ethernet
    Kona 3 / 3.1

    I am sending my autosave vault and waveform/thumbnail caches to my secondary 500GB internal drive.

    I can zoom in as far as I can and see hte Waveform then back out once and still see it. Anything beyond that I get little grey x’s. I have searched both the cow and Apples discussion forums.

    Deleted prefs via FCP rescue , Dumped waveform cache. Tried moving waveform cache to boot drive and SAN.
