I’m using the cables that came with the drives. So they’re probably only a couple of feet long. How do I navigate to that log?

I had a feeling it had a lot to do with the lens itself. But what I just came across is this tutorial from Carl Larsen: https://library.creativecow.net/articles/larsen_carl/removing_chromatic_aberration.php
I know it might be the end all fix, but for some of the severe shots, it’ll help me out.

I’ll be honest, I really don’t understand what that all means. I get the gist of it, but I’m kind of lost.

This is what I have right now:
  timeToStart = .8;
  timeToStop = 1;
  if ((time > timeToStart) && (time < timeToStop)) {wiggle(10,25);}else{value;}  timeToStart = 1.45;
  timeToStop = 1.7;
  if ((time > timeToStart) && (time < timeToStop)) {wiggle(10,25);}else{value;}The only expression that’s working is the second one. How do I get both to work?

That worked great! But now I have another problem. The same null object has to wiggle at two different points for two different durations. How do I represent that in the expression?

Which vimeo video?

If the Katarine font it’s right, it’s extremely close!
The font that I’m referring too is what’s playing in the flash animation that says “Conan Tonight at 11/10c”. I placed them side by side and the Katarine font nearly matches. I’m not a font expert so there may be a few tiny differences, but it looks good to me.
Thanks for all your help guys!

I just shot a wedding with a 60D and two 5DmarkII’s. We came back with 140gigs of footage (estimated at about 6 hours). I just recently transcoded that footage and the transcoded folder showed nearly 300gigs. Expect the file size to double once transcoded into ProRes422. Yes I know I could use the LT version of it, but I would rather work in a higher res version. During ingest, I copy the files to two completely different external hard drives (one is for editing and one is solely for backup). Once my transcode is complete, I move the original files from my editing drive to a RAID 1 system for redundancy and delete the original files from my editing drive. If I ever loose the original files, I can always re-transcode the files and relink the source media. I never change file names either. My FCP project files are backed up as well to the RAID 1 system. Once my project is complete, the transcoded files are deleted from the editing drive, all of my FCP project and any other project media (GFX, stills, audio, etc) are put on the RAID 1 system and left as an archive. And that second drive I mentioned earlier? Once everything is verified on my RAID 1, I delete that drive to reuse for the same workflow on the next project.
My RAID 1 is not full so I haven’t had to worry about what to do when that happens…yet. I know I’ll need a solution which could be just to expand my drive system. But I’ll deal with that when the time comes.

This is something we want to run continuously in the background and not have to keep unplugging and plugging in drives. I didn’t think it would work, but I just wanted to make sure. I’ll just use Carbon Copy Cloner. Thanks for everyone’s help!

That’s what I figured I could do. But here’s my next question. I was doing research on the FCC’s website about political advertisements (https://www.fcc.gov/mb/policy/political/candrule.htm). It says “The sponsor shall be identified with letters equal to or greater than four percent of the vertical picture height that air for not less than four seconds.” Are they referring to the visible screen size of 486 or the actual screen size with areas not seen of 525?
