    Todd,

    Thanks for the response. I’ll contact support.

    Thanks.

    Hmmm… I set one up, tested it out and it worked like a dream. The only obvious problem was having to have all the plugins loaded on each computer. It wouldn’t be a problem if we hadn’t lost the install discs and serial numbers.

    I used AE 7 so perhaps its time to give AE’s out of the box render another chance.

    Brendan,

    What’s wrong with the watch folder method? I’ve tested it out and it seemed to work well. Are there situations where it causes problems?

    Thanks

    Indeed, Particular is perfect for this. I just did it the other day and got that Star Trek feel great. The presets that come with the program are the place to start. I’m pretty sure there is a “star” preset.

    Andrew Kramer uses fractal noise on his spinning globe tutorial so it would work fine.

    Personally I’ve never had it miss more than a second and definately not a whole take. Sometimes the deck demands more preroll (like diging from a HVR-Z1u camera) but I believe that has nothing to do with avid or FCP.

  • Well 1 second after a TC break doesn’t sound so bad to me (which is what Avid does). A shame FCP does give this as an option. It can make life much easier.

    Does FCP have a ‘digitize across timecode breaks’ option?

    When I have a tape in Avid w/too many TC breaks I just set this option. Dig the whole tape and log the clips afterwards. Avid digitizes. Finds a break. backs up 3 seconds (or less) and moves forward.

    If apple can’t do this it should. Saves a lot of time.

    So this would include tape stock and/or a brand new HD online suite?

    If so then…Wow!

    How do you go about getting this discount? Do you just say “I work in TV.”

    In addition to pulling back on the colors from HD to SD would you recomend pulling back on some colors more than others? I’ve read somewhere that HD outputs some colors stonger than others (I can’t remeber if its Red, Green or Blue).

    Thanks
