The footage is not for me, but someone else who only has access to CS4. That is beyond my control.
Any suggestions regarding my question?

Thanks to everyone for this thread — it just helped me out tremendously.
I think I figured out the breakdown of communication. The screen transfer mode is to be set on the layer, not within the fractal noise options. That worked for me, at least.

That is an excellent point! I had forgotten about that.

Thanks for the information! I’d love to give it a try. We have several powerful machines in our office, so it would be nice to try. It’s made a significant difference with Compressor, anyway.

I can’t speak from a more professional standpoint, but I’m in school for media production (so I’m on a budget) and I ran FCS2 (then 3, after it came out) on my 2.4ghz Intel Core 2 Duo 20″ iMac with only 2GB of RAM from 2007-2011. All applications ran fine for me, even working with multiple layers of HD footage in a sequence that ran for several hours. With that quad core and 4GB of RAM, you’ll be fine – in my opinion.
You will have to purchase more hard drive space – a terabyte will fill up faster than you think. I daisy chain several terabytes off of my iMac.
Fun fact: that 20″ iMac is still running strong. I gave it to my dad when I upgraded to a new iMac recently.

The bundle I won was PPro, Encore and OnLocation. As I’m an FCP guy (and my program in school is all FCP) it’s currently a pretty useless prize. But I’m glad to have it as an option, and to be able to edit with a second NLE. The semi-accurate transcription service seems pretty handy, especially for documentary work, but its certainly no replacement for a true transcription, however tedious the work is! Your plugin + the Adobe transcription feature seems like a very powerful team, though, for quickly finding footage in FCP.

Thanks, everyone, for your helpful posts!
@Phillip Hodgetts, that seems like the closest thing I’ve been looking for. However, it requires Soundbooth, which was unfortunately not included with my prize 🙂 But, I will take it under consideration.
Thanks again everyone!
David
