Is the sequence drop frame along with the tapes?

Right click in the audio area to the left of the sequence. You can choose track assignments there.

If you render something lossless or uncompressed then there’s no compression and the file size is pretty much set and the same across the board. 8 bit or 10bit being the only difference. The alpha will make your file slightly larger than a regular video clip because of the extra info. You could simply render two files, a video file, and a matte file, but that would probably end up the same size and take longer to render.

I think you’re referring to extend. Highlight the end of a clip and press “e.” The clip will roll (not ripple) to your cursor point if there’s nothing in the way.

At least you don’t live near bigdog.com!

Yeah, it’s busted in the latest version of safari for OS X 10.3.9. Might work on the 10.4.x version.
Safari version 1.3 has been pretty screwed up now for about 3-4 months. Lots of different stuff.

Put it back to RGB in the little pulldown menu in the viewer window. You’ve currently got it set to Alpha probably.
Since it can’t play the alpha in RT (just a white square) it plays the video clip instead. But in pause it’s showing you the alpha channel.

Do you have tracks locked? Turn off track locks. That’s probably why it’s warning you. But I’ve never seen it warn unless something IS going to go out of sync. Doesn’t mean it’s something you’re going to notice. But FCP considers your timeline to be in sync. So if you lock a track, say the music track, and try to insert something and it’s unable to slide down the music track because it’s locked, then it’s going to complain. And if that’s the way you’re editing the locks should be off.
Yeah, sure there could be a checkbox. But the fact that this is the first time I’ve heard anyone complain about it (I’ve seen the dialog about 3 times in 5 years) makes me think you’re using FCP in a way that it was completely not designed for. Not that it shouldn’t be designed for the way you’re thiking, though. I’m just saying apparently it was so far from their thoughts that they never even considered it. Send them an email.

Get your cameral manual out and find out how to record or view EE signals through the firewire. You saw them on playback because they were coming off the tape on your camera. You may have analog inputs on the camera as well as fw inputs. See if there’s an input setting.

Unlink your clips. If the audio in the clips is irrelevant to the video that’s what you should do. Seems odd though, that you don’t mind your nat sound getting knocked out of whack. Maybe you’re not going to use the nat? The I’d say unlink it at delete it and get it out of the way. It’s a few keystrokes.
