[walter biscardi] “The Panasonic looks like high quality DVD material at the 2 hour setting. Huge improvements in just two years.”
Walter the Panasonic branded recorders have always had the highest quality and reliability just ahead of pioneer.
I’ve owned one since the end of 2001 and been very pleased with the results and I still use it to this day.
amazing machine. 🙂

[Martin Baker] “That hasn’t changed in v6. Capture Scratch etc are still saved at the system level rather than project level.”
as much as it would be nice to have everything “auto conform” It’s very helpful it will at least at the project level.
FCP 6 does now indeed save setups at the project level….right?
-
with the files in fcp, right click on the clip and goto the settings, check the “anamorphic” box, send it out to compressor for dvd encode.
That should make a letterboxed dvd.

One last thing that would be great as well, that I am always changing is setting where files are captured.
If I specify a clients folder as the capture folder, when I save the project it SHOULD remember where the capture is for that project and change it for different projects when they are loaded.

I think some of you don’t understand what I’m saying.
If I just worked on something and monitoring as i always do at say 720P, when I launch final cut, i have it set to ask for the easy setup when it launches, so I change it to NTSC 10-bit, thats fine, but now when I click on easy setup, it says “custom” because its still retaining some of the 720p setup.
I then AGAIN change that custom setup and scroll through to load the NTSC 10-bit setting, THEN I have to go into the video preview output setting and change THAT to NTSC 10-bit as its still set for the 720 I did.
I could leave it at hd but then the NTSC monitoring would show a very small picture that would not fill the crt or plasma screen.
What I would like FCP 6 to do, is change EVERYTHING including the monitoring setting to whatever easy setup I choose (the first and only time) just once, so I don’t have to deal with it in 3 steps.
This should be very simple for the software to do and It doesn’t make much sense that it won’t do it already.

Yeah thats some good cash savings there.
The Panny Plasma SDI Blade is $ 1,500 and the HDMI one
is $ 500, I couldn’t see spending 1,000 more for something
I likely would not see any difference in. -
[David Roth Weiss] “How will it know how you’re monitoring?”
The external monitoring of my multibridge extreme is always active, if thats what you mean. Usually the Plasma and Crt are both on when I work.
If fcp knows what the currently loaded sequence settings are, it should be able to make the output match…..I would hope. 🙂

David, whats the easy setup for those HD size moves?
what format are the photos your pushing around?
is the motion tab prefs set for highest quality?
I’m running fcp 5.04one thing I have noticed is that .psd files saved from photoshop cs are aliased, yet if they are exported from AE as a single frame its crisp
and smooth. -
I have found the motion tab in fcp to be very problematic unless your photo’s are very close to D1 size (no zooming or sizing in fcp)
I never use it since even when pics are at D1 size you can still have problems, so i use motion app or after effects where I know it won’t be a problem.

[Steve Wargo] “feel bad for the newbies who think that they can get into a professional editing machine for such a low price. 10 years ago, we paid $35,000 and more for a Discreet Edit* system with real time 3D and a whopping 36Gb of SCSI storage.”
Indeed Steve.
We paid $ 250,000 for a discreet smoke* when it came out.
