Thanks for the reply Nick. I can do the EDLs then..however, I’ve written down the cuts by hand since cutting out some scenes yesterday..not too time consuming really..think it’ll be pretty easy just to give him the list…he actually did mention that he thought I could probably cut 10-15 minutes from film when he first watched it…I think it’ll be a bit less than that…closer to 5-7 minutes maybe..but we’ll see if he doesn’t mind having a shorter film to have to mix and do SFX..hoping he’ll be open to the idea.

Thanks!

Hey John, I’m actually using FCP 6…not sure how much of a difference there is??

Hey vince, I’m thinking what the problem is, is that I have different audio formats throughout the project…some days the sound guy recorded 48k 16-bit….and other days there was a different guy who recorded at 44.1k at 24-bits. So I’ve read that this can be a problem with knocking the tracks out of whack…plus, on some of the music tracks I just brought a song in off of a CD at 44.1/16-bit….and I have my OMF export at 48k/16-bit…so, anyway, kinda sucks because I was under the impression that FCP took care of the conversion…after all, you can put all these different formats together on the timeline and they play fine…apparently not in the OMF transfer however…ugh

One last thing, I’m assuming that when saying your P2 card needs to be in the Log and Transfer window when you batch capture the offline footage….that we’re not talking about loading from the ACTUAL P2 card but just the raw files from the cards that have been transfered already and are on a hard drive…

Wow! Perfect, thanks Joseph! Makes me feel SOOOOOOO much better. Amazing too…it reverts back to the original metadata to find the file but doesn’t actually change the name back to that…which is exactly what I was worried about.

Thanks!
