I don’t have a definitive answer for you, but I have the same problem on my Xpress Pro, and I don’t use the JKL keys, I use the buttons on the capture tool. Seeing your post made me wonder why I have never posted about it myself. I think it’s because I capture from a Sony DSR-11 deck, which is their bottom of the line deck and is not really built for shuttling. Maybe it’s a limitation of firewire. What are you using to capture from?

It sounds like you have a pop-up window open. Have you tried closing that window?

Have you tried clicking on the timeline and then selecting “home” from the windows menu?

Excellent. I think you’ve had a major break through in your editing therapy. Now I want you to listen to “Unwritten” by Natasha Bedingfield, take 2 asperin and call me in the morning. 🙂

I think the problem is that you are approaching offlining from an onlineing methodology. Offlineing is not mathematical. It’s a CREATIVE PROCESS! Keeping your objective in mind, you have to review the material you’ve got, react to it and subclip or mark the parts you think are impactful, important, relavant, etc., then play with those parts. Start grouping them in different ways, then rearrange them, then tighten them, then don’t work on it for a while and come back and watch it with fresh eyes, then make more adjustments until you have what you wanted. Sometimes, in a doc, you may not have what you originally wanted, but you do have something else, and that may be what it winds up being. But, it’s a trial and error process. But it’s easier now with non-linear editing to be able to experiment. I generally like to find something in the material that really gets my juices going, cut that, and then work the rest of the material around it, working up to it or from it. That’s a way for me to find a starting point, especially if I’m stuck or lacking motivation. Remember, it’s a creative PROCESS. It’s an adventure. You can have a map, but the road you planned on taking may be washed out and you’ll have to take a detour. Just keep working it. I’m sure you know that there is never just one way for the material to go together. There are infinite ways, so keep trying until you’ve got one that make you happy.

I would take the FCC site’s lack of info regarding this to mean that they don’t have any regulations about it. As long as it’s not extremely visually gruesome, in which case you probably can still show it as long as you have unmissable warnings given before showing it that what is coming up is very disturbing images and you may not want to watch or have your kids watch. But whatever you do, for God’s sake, don’t show a nipple!

I can’t speak from personal experience here but I think you can. Fortunately, you have the Mac, so you should be able to mount his PC formatted drive and your system will see it. Then you can drag his media files from his drive to yours and they will copy. I think this is a preferable way to move the media across than using import.
