hey arnie
thanx for the reply! sorry to take so long to respond, work and all (go figger!)
do you know why it would take so long to render these png’s as just static titles?

did you look under Apple Loops? there should be a Sound Ideas folder, as well as a sound effects folder in “Apple Loops”
look under “science fiction”, “motions and transitions” as well as “home work” and “tech mechanical”
they do sound familiar, thats why i screw around with em to make em sound different, slow down, speed up, pitch shift, run backwards.
(i swear i could spend all day just meesing around with SFX. its great!)hope this helps

hey tom
one thing i do cuz its faster is open soundtrack and click on the track in the file browser. it starts playing instantly. the i load the file and convert it if i like it and save it to my media drive.
I believe the instant play is a preference in soundtrack
hope this helps

So, does the source-codes becoming meaningless as in useless or not-needed?
Only the source outpoint the source inpoint is valid.
The post-house takes the EDL in electronic form. They have an AUTODESK setup, using one machine (FLAME i think) for on-lining and LUSTRE for COLOR-grade.
The workflow as I understand it; getting my EDL they will re-scan the 35mm raw-material, online in flame, and grade with the DP in lustre next week…
OK! I am actually not familiar with how that system handles motion speed effects BUT based on prior experience with similar workflows, here is what i would do just to cover myself:
Go through your FCP timeline, and copy the shots with speed effects to the end of the sequence, then remove the speed effects on the copys using remove attributes (leave the originals edits alone). Now you have the real source ins and outs for those shots in your sequence, only listed at the end.
Write a note to the post house giving the event numbers of where those M2 events are in the final EDL (the ones that show up in the EDL as M2) and taht when scanning the film they should ignore those edits, and scan the stuff at the end instead and send that note along with your EDL.
I would think that they know about M2 events, and how the source out is gonna be wrong (especially on reverse motion) but this way you have listed the exact shots BEFORE speed effects so there is no doubt.
hope this helps

FCP is not avid, so be prepared for it to act differently
FWIW nested sequences seem to remain linked to each master sequence individually, such that if I have a Nested seq in Show Version 1, adn make a copy of that show, i have now made a copy of Nested sequence 1 as well. so by double clicking my nest in Show Version 1, I WONT be accessing the nest with the same name in the copy of show version 1
waht does this all mean?
If you want to make a nest and have changes to that nest appear in multiple iterations, open the nest from the browser, export it as a native quicktime, and cut it into your show in place of the nested sequence.
If you change the nested sequence, re export it, and replace the older export at the Finder level, it will change all the copies of that export in your project
hope this helps

not to say i told you so but…… 🙂
you are correct in your assumption that the source out becomes meaningless in the presence of a M2 event, also known as a Motion Memory event.
Please, Give us some more specifics so we can better answer your question, for example:
waht kind of project are you working on? Film? Tape? File Based?
Are they taking your EDL in electronic form, like a file, or are they working off a printout on paper?
IF electronic form, are they using a conventional Linear or Tape To Tape edit suite, or a Non Linear editor like FCP or AVID or Autodesk or Quantel
Have you talked to anyone at the post house to answer these question?
I have been working with Linear and Non linear editors for a long time and i have found that most post houses have a certain “workflow” they are comfortable with, and I would think in this day and age any post house has dealt with projects and EDL’s from Final Cut. If you talk to them, tell them your concerns, ask them about any issues to watch for, it will go a long way towards nmaking your project go smoothly AND making you look good!
hope this helps!

no offense to your IT admin, but if they are not familiar with a video post production environment, then he should not be handling any of what we are talking about. (escept cutting P.O.s 🙂 )
You or he/she needs to find an IT Enginner who is savvy in the ways of Digital Video.
its just a vastly different animal then your traditional IT infrastructure, and is riddled with gotchas and pitfalls that would drive normal Admins crazy!
Bob Zelin seems to know his stuff. i would comm. with him.

WOT IS UP!
Can’t you just copy the titles over to tilemotion and ….whoops! forgot we are past that (ha ha ha)
AE will always give you the best results, because you have more control over the various aspects you need. I find FCP to be limitied in a lot of the graphic/text manipulation areas, so i am getting better and better at AE (next week i am gonna try Masks! 🙂 )
and AE really is resolution independent. AND i would follow walters advice about making the crawl as wide as your comp.
