I spent 6 years working with M100 – loved it @ the time – but the support was falling away.
It is so limiting in what it can do. I sure did love that image quality!
Making the switch @ first was a bit overwhelming, but once u wrap your head around FCP, there is no going back. The things U can do in FCP far outway what U can do in M100.
Don’t look back – move forward. -
If it were me?, I would create a project that just had the open and close in it and leave on the system.
Everytime U need it,…open that project and copy and paste it into your new show. We do this now with Show Leaders and grafx. -
I don’t believe FCP has tweening. Can u re-render the animation @ 30fps?
You can “contrl click” on a key frame and choose smooth (Ease in/ease out) -
FCP will only didg DV50 from a DV50 deck or cam. It must detect the DV50 device.

Ya, drop shadow really affects clips. It’s a shame really. If I animate a still and animate the drop shadow – it’s not a smooth move. This is where it can be called Final Cut Prosumer

The AJA IO LA is excellent with component signal in and out. A great choice for analog needs.

The DV Codec is noisy. Unless you have a capture card to capture to a diferent codec – converting a clip from the DV codec will not gain u anything.

You can boot-up “holding down the mouse” to eject a stuck DVD/CD
