Thanks Mark, I can’t wait to take a break from making fake zoom screens to do a little research. I appreciate the direction.

Sorry Mark, guess I didn’t explain very well. I’m thinking of having all the clips on the screen in boxes, like a Zoom call, so a 3×3 grid of individual dancers. I’d like to keep each near 100% scale so they aren’t tiny on the screen. I’d like to keep them in the center of their box using motion tracking and cropping. Now, they can dance from one side of the screen to the other. I did a test of motion tracking and It kept the dancer in the middle of their screen, but when I crop it, the crop just keeps the same position of the stage.

I love this. We are running FCS3 on 10.6.8 with 6 – 2010 MacPros. Our X-Raid is still running strong. Use FCP, DVDSP, STP, Compressor & Motion all from 2010 daily. Making 2000 titles a year. Congrats to the makers of Parasite for showing the tools aren’t important, and oh yeah…and for making a hell of a film.

We author 2000 DVDs a year with DVD Studio Pro on 9 year old Mac Pros. DVD SP is rock solid and does some pretty complex authoring. I’m guessing you may be able to find a old Mac Pro with FCP installed for a very reasonable price. With that you get the old iTunes that was great for making mix CDs in the day.

Awesome, no LUTs applied, but setting the Color Space Override to Rec. 709 did the trick. Thanks Joe.

We export out of FCP7 to Compressor using a Matrox MXO2 Mini with Max to create H264 Blu-Ray encodes. This keeps the Chapter Markers and is pretty fast. This has kept us out of Premiere. Unfortunately, we still use Encore which is going (gone) away.

sometimes they are one in the same…

That’s the cluster, known to every one outside of FCP as a render farm.
We just spent a ton of money on a new FCP system, and trying to avoid having to spend another $10,000 grand on CS liscenses, so we are hoping to find a way to use the existing stuff before we shell out the money to put CS on all the computers.

That may be the way to go. Unfortunately we want use Compressor for the SD DVDs because of the cluster. To do the color in Premiere, it would be a complete work flow change, which I may have to accept, but I’d try to exhaust all other options first.

That certainly would work, but due to our work flow, I’m trying to find a way to avoid exporting/encoding 3 times. Once using Compressor for SD DVDs, Second to export ProRes (or other master clip format) for Premiere and Third, exporting from Premiere to Media Encoder for Blu-Ray. We can have up to 50 one to two hour discs a week that can contain up to 50 Chapter Markers, so I’d like to skip the second one if possible.
I’ve read that Colorista from Red Giant may fix this issue, allowing the color correction in FCP to translate well in Premiere via XML.
