I need something that will render faster than the G4 that we currently have (that’s our big problem) – at the rate we’re running now, it’s going to take forever… the MacBook Pro would work, then, right? The reason for the question is that we have a line on a great deal for a refurbished one that’s in our price range…

Not HD at this point (basic DV); no After Effects – just basic effects with FCP 4.5 with Rosetta (running with PowerPC software)… we just need to replace our current system, which is a G4 1.83 with 1G RAM and a string of external drives to finish our current project. Down the road we plan to upgrade everything (cameras, computers) to HD, but we have to wait a bit on that!

Thanks for your help!

I agree, it’s odd – and yes, our media drives are pretty full (we’re at the end of editing a 90-minute rough-cut of a documentary). I’ll go ahead and re-import the footage! Thanks for your help!

It’s from a tape; it plays both audio and video in the viewer (although video in is choppy)… I just checked and the waveform is gone (in the viewer) but as I mentioned, we can still hear the audio. How is that possible? Thanks for your time on this one…

Through the viewer; unclear about autoselect? Again, the footage (both audio and video tracks) that was working before is no longer working; yet we can grab other clips out of the bin and they are going into the timeline just fine (both audio and video tracks) without changing any settings or doing anything differnetly… we’ve even tried working with the clips on a new timeline with the same results… is there a way to know if footage is somehow corrupted?

Thanks-

We checked all of that; no luck… anything else we should look for? Or just re-import?
