Hmmm when I get the whole thing set up my next question will be how to loop it.

Was just told from the place I bought it from that JVC doesn’t like Sony tapes and to only use Panasonic and/or JVC tapes. Great, my Sony deck doesn’t like other brands other than Sony. Looks like I’m stuck waiting for my Focus hard drive to show up.

I use Merrel footware. Great sneaker like comfort and traction with a more professional look.

I would absolutely love to do that, trust me, I have drooled over those cameras. Even more so after using the HPX 500. Problem is budget as I am in the process of restarting my business. If money fell from the sky….

I’ve edited with Avid for 9+ years and dabbled in FCP. To me Avid was pretty complex and FCP was easier. The situation I’m in is a bit complex and the camera is the first priority but FCP isn’t far behind.

Cool, thanks. I know you can get production organization software called Gorilla 4.0 through Apple but I’m not sure how good it is. Tried Quickbooks Pro and obviously I’m not a numbers kinda guy but I’ll look around. Supposedly the newer versions are more user friendly.

Ditto!! I was a member of BNI and one other group. With all the rules, fees, etc. the groups weren’t worth it. The groups were also filled with people who wanted something for nothing. Everyone wanted a commercial but only had 200-300 for it. Blah :p

Thanks, I had thought about that. Of course with that said I’m looking at configuring a Mac Pro with FCP with CalDigit S2VRDuo for storage and the AJA Io HD breakout box. If I went this route would I need the Apple raid card that you can add when configuring the Mac?

Some good points from all, thanks. We are looking at CalDigit for our drives. Either thier firewire or SATA. Of course now with all the imput we’re of course leaning towards SATA. Great bang for the buck! A terabite for 690.00?!?! Tech. is moving way to fast for me or maybe I’m just getting to old.
And yes editing style plays a factor but while I have over eight years on an Avid I have done some work on FCP. I have worked on Eidius (blah…I shiver at the thougt of ever editing on this platform again), the old Sony ES3 and a plethora of other platforms. I figure if I can make the transition between all these FCP shouldn’t and so far hasn’t been that hard.

I’ll agree to a point. My last stint at ESPN with the latest FCP and XGames had me editing fast and efficiently. I was to say the least, surprised, I believe FCP is all grown up now from where it was six years ago. It can only get better. Plus FCP customer support is far better than any dealing I have had with keeping this system alive. In fact after looking at my paper work for my Avid all the support, repairs, and replaced drives either in warranty or out totaled almost 10k. A friend that works here at a news station in CT said they are the Cadillac of the systems, “They cost a lot to buy and cost even more to keep runing.”
