Hi Folks
my favourite is now AudioFinder 4.01. Its not free but it directly supports
Audio Units and has a good editor built in. Here is the link:

Hierarchy search is super fast as is audition of audio files. It reads everything. I had to slam through 19 GB of
Production Music given to me as an Itunes library recently and this application really did the trick.

2 part answer, second part first:

1. Select the transition in the Favourites bin in the effects tab of the Browser.
2. Select Edit > Clear (or press Delete)
(user manual page 391 – available from help in FCP)

Free Sapphire Effects;
1. Consider becoming a public chew toy for the Gen Arts Polar Bear mascot – go to the arctic circle and await instructions.
2. TRY CAPITALISING EVERYTHING!!!!!!

I would like to officially second this feature request proposal.
It would tidy up long form workflow and create a simple forum
for collaborative editing process.

You don’t need a chart if you use Photoshop 7.0 or above.
When making a new file there are presets for all the sizes you mentioned
as well as their aspect ratio conversions in NTSC and PAL.

OK – I’m assuming you still can’t see any frames of the files in either
Qt Pro Player or MPEG Streamclip 1.7.
The next thing to try is the VLC media Player:

And the next to try is:

MegaPEG Pro HD demo

You need to find out what format of M2v your client has given you.
It may be an elementary broadcast stream.

[Chris Wyatt]

Hi s!
what version of QuickTime, OSX and After Effects are you using?

Best Regards

[Chris Wyatt]

My favourite converter in this situation is MPEG Streamclip.
It will identify the type of M2v, and also demux the audio if present in the MPEG stream.
Better still, its free:

Many thanks specialcase.
I have downloaded the PDF from your second URL. It looks like I am being dragged kicking and screaming
into apple developer land. Being a big fan of your good tutorials I will post my results to you.
I somehow feel that Motion 3 is on its way after the announcement of Core Animation.

Hi Rob Ikenberry and Footbaggin
Rob is correct – MacDrive6 is your best bet in this situation.
Rumour has it that Apple have come up with the license money to support NTFS formatted volumes directly
with Leopard – but thats a couple of months away.
