Ok. We definitely need steve jobs back to work… These new guys on management are unfocused.

I’m not familiar with this particular course but if it’s geared towards assistant editors, it will be probably very technical. To get a editing gig, you would be more served by a course that teaches you the cinematic language.

Are you familiar with the master in editing from NFTS? It’s a very strong course and you get to know a lot of people that works in the industry.

This is just my opinion, things are very tricky in the film industry and you need to know directors to get the proper gigs and they don’t want to talk technical with you. They need to feel that you have the right sensitivity, so that they can trust you with their film.

I hope this makes some sense.

Hey Jim,

Thanks a lot for your prompt response. It’s a shame apple didn’t fix this bug yet, but I guess they’ve been busy working on this “new project”.
I have about 40 hours of footage so it seems that it’s a better idea to convert those.

After two years only working on Avid, I’m back to FCP. It’s a pity that’s it still is not as rounded as it should be, but I guess we can blame the codec partly for that.

Thanks again.

Eduardo.

Hi Jim,

I have exactly the same suite as you, and I am one third into the assembly of a feature shot in xdcam ex.
It was shot in 23.98 and im getting the same sort of crashes and weird flickering frames while playing. Actually it happens a lot when I use the “trim tool”.

Did converting all the footage to prores worked for you back then? Or did you find any other ways of solving this mistery?

My machine is brand new and it’s the same you got with the matrox mini etc.

I would really appreciate if you could answer this.

Thanks a lot.

Eduardo.
