wow you guys are really on top of it, thanks a lot for the info, it was very helpful. david, you said i wasnt taking advantage of some of the features of fcp. explain to me how you would organize 600 differernt clips in a project. some of these clips are only a couple secs long and others are minutes. i get them in hdv tapes so ive been organizing them by tape numbers. if you know a faster way to do this, that would be great. i know about subclips but i just cant see how that would help in organization…
