Vincent,

After a little research, it would seem that the WD Drive Manager makes it simple in configuring which RAID you want. Are you saying that this method is not working for you either? Here’s a review I ran across, the middle of the page shows the Drive Manger and where you choose a RAID 0.

By stabilizing I’m assuming you are using the smoothcam filter. I’ve had similar problems before. The smoothcam can tend to over compensate and make the clip very distorted looking. Try adjusting the translation smooth and rotaltion smooth down to make the clip less distorted looking

I’ve never stabilized anything in iMovie so it is interesting to hear that you are having better results there.

Another option could be trying the smoothcam in Motion. It may yield different results than Final Cut.

Sounds like your second attempt was close. Make sure that under the RAID tab you have your format set to Mac OS Extended. RAID type at striped. What is your error message saying? Maybe Jeremy has a point by keeping it at journaled.

You would think that the Flash video containing h.264 would play on an iphone. It confuses me too. I know flash video is made of two components: the player itself and the video inside it. The file format used to run video scripts is the SWF file and this, I believe, is what some devices, like the iphone, do not understand.

Here’s a basic ehow article about how flash works: https://www.ehow.com/how-does_5406957_flash-video-work_.html

You can’t do it in Disk Utility? Here’s a link from the WD website with instructions how to format a WD drive.

Larry,

Is your video playing back on the camera? I’ve sometime encountered problems capturing tape with Final Cut as well. I’ve fixed my problem before by giving the clip a few seconds of room at the beginning and end of the clip.

I’m not sure how you re-create this in Final Cut, but you could import your video clip into Photoshop and do this. I’m not sure if you can export out a video file from Photoshop. You may need to use a combination of Photoshop and After Effects. Maybe someone else has a better idea. Richard Harrington has a tutorial using Photoshop for video. Might want to check that out.

I’ve sometime had better luck applying a Basic 3D effect to the photo and rotate that way. Depending on your size you may need to nest the photo in it’s own sequence and then do a rotation. It’s worked for me and the quality isn’t too bad. However, you’re still better off going into motion like Dave suggested.

I just checked out the Steadicam Pilot…it looks awesome. Unfortunately I just don’t have the money right now. Maybe the glidecam 4000 will do the job.
