Why? Unscrew it, take it out, put in a new one.

[John Heagy] “Collaborative workflows on shared storage is what Apple needs to fix before we could use FCPX. It comes down to the nature of events for a local storage single user vs groups using shared storage. In a local system events can be shared with all projects, in shared storage they can’t. Oh… and copying is not sharing… it’s copying.

Admittedly not a concern for the vast majority of users and therefore not a concern for Apple it seems.

If you’re on NAS, X works essentially exactly the same as 7. Also, could multiple editors work on the same FCP 7 project at the same time? I wasn’t aware of that. Don’t use a SAN,so I can’t comment on that…

[Matt Orfalea] “In legacy the time between in and outpoints was displayed in the timeline… How can I do that with FCP X?”

Bottom center of the timeline window. If you’ve got a selection it tells you there… 🙂

[Matias Canelson] “I don´t know the answer for the closed caption, “

Here is the answer to closed caption

https://www.cpcweb.com/solutions/fcp.htm

And from someone at this company posting a couple years ago:

If you’re delivering tape, then you can use VTR Xchange (AJA) or Ventura (Matrox) to output a HD/SD file with closed captions to tape. The closed captions track is created in MacCaption.

If you’re delivering some kind of file, then FCP7 didn’t really handle this either, so nothing has changed. You export your (uncaptioned) movie to the required file format, then embed captions into it using MacCaption.

Shawn mentioned Manzanita, which is a plugin for MacCaption if you need to deliver CableLabs-spec MPEG-2 transport streams. For other file types, including program streams, QuickTime, MXF, etc. you can caption them natively in MacCaption without needing any other software or hardware.

So, other than the lack of tape output, FCPX hasn’t changed much on the captioning side of things.

Best regards,

[Michael Gissing] “C’mon Charlie two inch is so 70s. Look at the brown flared pants and body shirt. I was in broadcast in 1976 and saw my first one inch Sony machine by 1978. Two inch was doomed and one inch ruled the 80s & 90s.
“

🙂 Yeah, i guess I just liked the picture. We were still getting stuff on 2″ in the early 90’s though, but not much. Hell we randomly got tracks in for mixes on Mag (35 and 16!) ’til maybe 95 or so. Fun times. 😉

[Dustin Parsons] “I’m thinking of moving to an iMac as my primary system but I’d rather not keep my project files on the OS/Applications drive so I’ll have to cut from an external source.”

I cut on an iMac with events and projects on the internal drive, but all media is referenced from an external server. Nothing copied to the event. So, databases and render files local, everything else external. Works just fine. 🙂

edit: FWIW, media is served from T-Bolt Promise boxes by a mac mini server over GB Ethernet. Most sources are HD ProRes

[Steve Connor] “Is OMF still the only option in a lot of workflows?

Every time I’ve been asked for an OMF by a Post House, I’ve offered an AAF instead and it’s been fine.”

Nope, AAF’s work. I just added that to be fair. 🙂

I’m thinking more like this. 😉
