Hi guys.

Basically with Tiger and FCP 6, real time mixing did work on my machine using the same camera, same codecs, same workflow, so I would exclude that option…

Tried what you guys said: videoscope off, frame viewer off, but still doesn’t work. Apple Pro Res is one of the few codec that plays XDCAM EX in real time at the moment (not having a KONA of course, I am talking laptop, top of the gamma, but still laptop…sigh), but even trying with DVCPRO didn’t help, nor HDV, nor Apple Intermediate Codec and not its native tedious XDCAM EX.
So I gave up and kept pausing and restart…as fast as I can…and used this link 😉 https://www.apple.com/feedback/finalcutpro.html

@John Fishback: Man! with your machine I would be really angry if even the smallest bug would happen 😉 that’s a dream machine for a freelance editor of my weight…you might be able to fly to the moon with that rocket…
Anyway, that’s the configuration that I am aiming for, Congrats!

@John Pale: I know that, it was just being argumentative…Final Cut and Apple may be relaxing for they don’t have a strong competitor in the same range at the moment…

Sorry for my English, hope it makes sense to you…..

Thank so much doh.

Thanks for your quickest reply!

This is really bad, I thought it was my setting, but yours is a confirmation that is not me…
Shame, I think they are having a decreasing quality due to the lack of competition. We should go back to AVID (did you hear that, Apple?) 😉

I tried everything I could imagine, if I find something I will post here.

Thanks again.

Oh, you genius! How could I haven’t thought that???
Thanks a lot, I was up to mixing a 20 min edit and got stuck and started crying loud 😉

Thanks again to share your knowledge.

The only thing I am not sure about this contract is: are we sure is just for beginners???
I’ve been working in this industry for 9 years and things didn’t change so much, not for me, nor for my friends editors…

OMG It’s amazing to see how similar is this situation all over the world…

Anyway, here my 2 cents:

-The dummy will re-digitize the 3 years old 36 hour footage in 1 day, obviously for free.

Cause the client thinks (?) you should have kept all on your HD, forever. It goes without saying that he never had paid for any backup.

He thinks you should work with his Umatic tape to intercut the new totally different in color and format footage, creatively creating HIS new corporate video for a reduced fee cause he came back to you.

Why we keep working for them????

Hi Lee,
which software are you using???

If it is FCP, while you drag the wireframe of you clip, hold the shit button.
