It’s the full package!

I just shot a little b roll with the internal camera, worked like a charm…

Now its not just your post machine its covers the pre pro AND the shooting AND the post.

And it drives not one but two 30″ apple monitors!

Thanks for the suggestions, unfortunately my hope was to have the effect on the timeline not inside a clip so I could do things faster while keeping the ability to effect only a cut here or there. Of course I could do a nest for each transition I wanted but that would be a mess and be much more work then the way I am trying to copy from Avid. I guess if my question is, how can I get FCP to work with effects on the timeline with the flexibility of the other system the answer is no, you cant do it.

I love cutting with FCP and doing efx work with the Avid, I guess I now know why I never asked before.

Thanks for the suggested work arounds.

The funny thing is…
There were never regs for any words for the network until, get this, George Carlin wrote a stand up routine about 7 words you cant say. He came up with it out of thin air.

Then someone sued someone else and the top court in the land got involved and now there really are 7 words you cant say on over the air radio/tv.

Thanks George Carlin…

I am not sure but I thing the words F$#@ and S$@! are part of the seven. I think foot is not…

I just tried to post the above and it seems there is a clever software something that saw the offending words in full and stoped things, I guess there are seven or more words here too. Suits me fine.

When you drag a clip to a new timeline and the clip formate is different from the timeline format and the timeline wants to render it!!!!

Ooops solved in FCP6, only 4 years after Quantel did it…

That monkey was me!

Its how I keep it easy on my feet while seeing all the stuff at NAB.

BTW, I just noticed FCP6 has a new feature which I suggested a year ago. Drag a clip into a new timeline and you are asked if you want the timeline to be foremated for that clip, click yup and your on your way.

I love it when they listen..

WHAT! Out of New York? How could that be?

Harumph.

I once posted here the I remember using FCP in April 1999 and as I remember I was called a nut.

As far as I understand, the advantage of DVCam over shooting DV is that the tape moves faster thought the recording process which allows the legendary Sony error detection and error correction process to work it magic in a much better way. As I understand, the frame is recorded to a memory buffer then sent to the tape to be recorded, the deck then checks to see if it was recorded properly then dumps the buffer. If the frame was not recorded properly it then tries to record it again but on an earlier or later part of the tape. Once again the electronics checks to see if the frame was recorded properly. Faster tape means lots more room to store that frame if things are not all well with the tape or camera.

As far as the 48k issue, I remember back in FCP1.25 days this happened to me. I think I was able to hear the audio when playing back without rendering. I think this only happened on clips that were over 7 minutes in length.

Just for a joke, check the menu of the deck and see if its in 32k default mode. I also wonder if the tapes were recorded with a Sony camera?

Thanks I will try that.

Glad to also find I was not going crazy,
