Hey John
I work in minneapolis, and i would reccomend Mike Sandness at Splice Here. He is the Color person there, and it sounds like he is the guy you want to talk to.
ICYDNK, Splice Here is a really cool Final Cut Pro post house with lots of gear, lots of FCP workstations, AND lots of very talented and creative people.
and no they did not pay me to say that, i have heard all good about them, and i do know the owner, Clayton.
hope this helps

CHV Repair plugins! Their noise reducer is reaally good, but you gotta use moderation and you have to play around with it, but i like it.

your plan sound good
HOWEVER
that link to the Spherico web site i posted earlier might be worth looking into
the program call XML2TXT would take care of your edl-excel-batch list step. The developer made it specifically so he could layoff a bunch of shots to a tape to keep or use again, AND have a bin that refered to that layoff tape.
If you can spare the dough, it sounds like it would save you time. I have tried it and it works.

Here is the deal: you really don’t need EDL’s. The way FCP treats the whole, clip, subclip, source file relationship you CAN batch redigitize from a timeline. AND you don’t have to redigitize everything.
you can take a timeline, and using media manger, make a new project using only the sections of media you need to recreate the timeline. You can copy just what you need, plus some “handles” OR you can create a new set of empty clips that have just what you need plus handles, and recapture those!
Look up in the manual about clips and there various relationships, and look up media manager.
and look at what Larry Jordan and Ken Stone (google em!) have to say about media manager.with a little research, you too can “Just Say No” to EDLs

been where you been, and i just gotta say that i found trying to get an edl to do more than be an edl was always disspointing. Even putting the various FCP bin comment fields as notes in the edl did nothing (i could never get them to parse as one entry, as it was a separate carriage return.
My advice would be to look into a video database program, and for you being across the pond CatDV might be the way to go. these programs have special import capbilities so even though the “comment” is on a separate line, they can read it as if it was in its own column.
here is a link to another program which may be what you are looking for:

Hmmmm
what if you did it at 24 fps? 720p?
then you could add 3:2 pulldown to make it 30, and speed it up 4% to make it 25.
(you would have to speed up any audio as well)
I mean, if you think about it, thats what early film animators did

hi
If you are moving the project from one fcp system to another, all you need to do is copy the project and what media you can to the other system, then recapture from the bins.
EDLs are only necessary when moving to different edit systems, like from FCP to Premeire or avid.
does this help?

I was going to suggest that, but i thought that method would make a disconnect between your timeline and the footage ie when you make a timeline of the whole takes, you lose the in and out points of the cuts, and re-linking the 2 could prove difficult (at least in FCP)
however if they are looking for footage to use separately then thats the way to go

What you are seeing is waht we affectionately call “judder”. its because 24p does not go into 29.97 evenly, so certain frames are “pulled down” to make them fit. It doesnt become an issue until you do slo mo.
in short, you need to remove the 3:2 pulldown on the shot. I beleive cinema tools will do this. Once you have done that, the shot will run faster, roughtly 125% so 50% may look too fast.
for more information search the forum for “removing pulldown”
hope this helps
