[Brett Sherman] “Then I drop that file in Turbo.264 software edition (also $50 I believe) to create a compressed MP4 file for uploading.”

Is Turbo using the x264 codec? I’m still on Compressor 3, but I use the x264 codec and I get great results. I’m still not sure where we’re at with H.265.

Thanks,

[nick ring] “I don’t know if having both apps in one account would work because of preference file differences,”

Yep, the dual boot will solve this problem in my case. Maybe log in as 2 different users?

[nick ring] “Why stay on FCPX 10.0.4?”

Nick, as I mentioned in the first post, there is not a single thing in 10.0.6, 10.0.9 or 10.1 or ML or Mavericks that would help me to get work done better or faster. I don’t have clients and have very basic needs for my editing.

I’m here reading virtually every day, I know what’s in the all the upgrades. I’m a one-man band in my business and I don’t have time for learning curves or “surprises” that can come when upgrading. I suppose later this year, I will make the move up to Mavericks, but I’m so behind right now with business and projects (the real kind, not the FCPX kind) that I have to keep on chugging along.

[nick ring] “Wait ’til I add my IP address.”
Funny, I had thought the same thing since 10.0.2.

Thanks,
Dave

[Mark Spencer] “As long as you keep your media external to the library and you aren’t trying to share projects you should be ok.”

All right, that’s what I thought.

Odd timing for your post. I was literally just over at your website trying to find a contact email address for you. I had a business related question for you after watching your new Pixel Corps Live show yesterday you did with Steve and Alex. If you have a minute, I can be reached at webmaster3 (at) harmonicalessons.com

Thanks,
Dave

[Bret Williams] “I don’t think you’d be able to use the 10.1 project file in 10.0.9. It’s not even the same extension.”

Wouldn’t want to. I would keep new 10.1 projects separate from what I was doing in 10.0.4. Essentially, I could make a new Library of all my commonly used assets and start doing new 2014 projects in Mavericks and 10.1 until I’m ready to make the complete switch over from 10.0.4.

My only real question is about being able to use the same single media drive for both versions of FCP which I believe should work okay. I never bothered with Event Manager X, so I’m very familiar with moving and hiding Events and Projects.

[Craig Alan] ” Is it possible you are saving two versions (the new library and the old projects and events folders)?”

Craig, check out this Ripple video-

I believe it’s covered earlier on in this video. If not, take a look at the 1st and 2nd parts of this 3-part series. The 3 part series is very good as an intro to Libraries and converting from Events and Projects.

[EDIT: I just watched it again, it wasn’t covered in part 3, so it’s in 1 or 2. You can get to all 3 parts from here-

[Craig Alan] “Does migration assistant have manual controls where you can control what it moves?”

Not much, at least not on 10.6.8 and prior versions that I’ve used. I wish there was a check list in the Applications as to choose what you copy and don’t. I do the same with the Documents folder, just drag and copy it over.

[Craig Alan] “I would prefer to manually move MS OFFICE (2008 and I know unsupported)”

I would do the same to avoid a messy re-install. I’m actually not fully moved over to OpenOffice, but it’s getting closer, and then no more MS.

Please post back as to your experiences, I may do something similar down the road.

Thanks,
Dave

[Jeremy Garchow] “[Sascha Engel] “2. If I created a grade, which e.g. consists of many color instances plus e.g. a Look Effect Grade, is there a way to switch all on and off at the same time, like in DaVinci? Or I have to really switch each single effect on/off one by one?”

Sort of, but not really.

You can turn off all Color Board corrections at once by turning off the “Color” effect. Any other effects are 1×1.”

Would this be possible if you originally started color correction via an Adjustment Layer?

[Warren Eig] “Just around the corner from Wellworth Ave!”

As Steven Wright once said, “It’s a small world, but I wouldn’t want to paint it”.

He also said, “yeah, but not in a row!” Unfortunately, that joke takes too long to set up and not nearly as relevant.

[Warren Eig] ” Close, Westwood.”

Very cool. In the 80’s, I lived in a room in the back of a house on Wellworth Ave.
Except for the traffic, it’s nice there.
