Reminds me of two decisions I made in the 1980’s. First, I went Betamax vs VHS. Lost that one. Then I went Mac vs PC. That looked really dicey before the second coming of Steve Jobs. I went Blu-ray vs HD-DVD and in the end it hardly mattered. With the abandonment of FCP7 by Apple, the choice was learn something structurally different or go to PP, which was more familiar. Apple’s roll out was close to a disaster.
Now I think market share probably matters to get jobs and to find collaborations.
As in the 80’s, I went with FCPX and I am not going back. However, I don’t depend on this for a living, like many on the forum.

Now the Monty Python made reading call the arguments above,worthwhile. As a FCPX guy, I have been feeling marooned on an island, since taking a video production class at the local college in Berkeley, where they only use PP. Unless I learn PP, (unlikely), I am limited in collaboration opportunities for sure.

I noticed some choppy play, but when I used render all it went away. I don’t remember needing to do that before. Just a thought.

I back up AVCHD from cards after a shoot by just making a folder, naming it to identify the contents and then drag the whole AVCHD file into it. FCPX can open it just as it would from the card because the whole structure is preserved. I use FCPX to read the card and make my primary copy for editing. When I finsh, I have 2 independent copies, in case something goes wrong with one of them.

I think the quality issue referred to Youtube converting the audio phrases into closed captions. I looked at a few how to videos for using Youtube to incorporate written captions and it looks straight-forward. Here is an example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9K4WJs94FfY

I have heard people have had poor results with Youtube subtitles, so if you want it to be accurate and profession, you need to look elsewhere. I guess you are looking for something more automated than the titling available in FCPX?

Yousendit/Hightail. All the receiver needs to do is click on a link and then find it in their download box. Still baffles some though. Drop box is too complicated for those not familiar with it. Haven’t tried others though.

Thanks, that clears up the mystery. Now, I guess I need to figure out the best way to convert the file to something Premiere and his PC can deal with. My goal would be to not degrade the original HDV files by scrunching it in compressor. Suggestions?

He said he had QuickTime 7 installed. I am not sure whether Quicktime or Quicktime 7 is the way to go, at this point.

I assume you don’t have Tima Machine on. That gave me trouble, long ago.
