Excellent! Thanks for the post Jeremy.

For what it’s worth, I’m dual booting my MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard and Leopard and it works great. I guess now I can reclaim that second 40gig partition.

Thanks again

Thanks! I’m actually more concerned with getting the IO LA to work with this configuration but your feedback is encouraging.

I’m curious though, any snags while trying to edit from having your OS and FCP installed on a USB drive. Just curious if it’s fast enough. If it is I wonder if a 32GB flash drive would work as a boot drive…

There are nine crews in nine different countries. I need the proxie files to be made so that they can be ftp’d back to here to start the edit while the hard drives are being shipped.

[Jeremy Garchow] “(is it really a 24p master or is it an NTSC master)?”

Well, it seems the client is still deciding but for now it looks like it’s going to be an NTSC DVD. That being said, the PAL idea makes a lot of sense as long as it easily converts to NTSC. I’m going to check on shooting PAL with our camera guy. Once the 25P edit is finished, would compressor be the best way to convert it?

Shane, I had seen you post about proxie mill. I’d love to try it and had suggested it but they don’t want to pay for nine copies. I’ll definitely give the article a read though.

Thanks guys!

The reason we are shooting in both is simply because we need to collect footage from eight different countries. This project has come along very suddenly with a quick turn around so there is no time to send our own crews to these places. The crews we are hiring there will be sending us PAL footage. Therefore the thought was to conform everything to 24p which is how it will be delivered.

The proxy files are only for the sake of an offline edit. We’ll be sending those back via an FTP and then starting the edit while we wait for the hard drives to be shipped back. Again, this is all due to a very tight deadline.

Jeremy, shooting 25P is something we considered but were hoping that it wouldn’t be necessary. By the way, I’m in Chicago and your advice comes highly recommended by our friend Damon.

So now that I’ve explained our reasons a little better, what’s the best way to get this footage to match?

Thanks again

Hello

Can you provide any more info about your system? And is the new drive internal or external?
Did you format the drive after you installed it? Also, did you get that error message from the very
beginning or did you by chance have it lock up on you when you first tried capturing.

thanks

Thanks for all the helpful info guys. It looks like we’ll be ordering the card today.

I do have one more question though… Once I install the Kona card, any footage that was captured with
the Targa codec and still resides on my drives will be unusable, correct? I’ll be doing a fresh install of the
OS so the Targa codec won’t be installed. Is there any way at all to alleviate this or just massive rendering?

By the way, this is such a great community. I just recently moved to LA from the midwest and I don’t know
many people here so it’s nice to know that the COW is always there when you need it. Thanks again!
