I’ve been using FCS installed in a G4 733Mhz with 1 Gb Ram and it runs. Don’t ask it a high performance but just for DV editing I think it’s ok.
I’ve opened a huge movie project on it to take a look and it opened right and the system goes…
Just few tests but good tests at the moment.

Have you tried using this option in the menu: View/Video Playback/Digital Cinema Desktop Preview – Full Screen. With this option you’ll see your footage in true 24fps, without jumping and shaking.
You need dual screen to get this option. I use this setup to see HD and SD footage in my LCD monitor, and it works great. For example, you can use a 23″ Apple Monitor to work and a conventional 19″ LCD monitor to see the footage. (2 23″ Apple Monitors will be great) I don’t know if it helps but it’s the only solution I can find.
Good Luck

I agree with you, sammyg. Your only purpose is just to avoid the weird 24@25repeat playback issue. In FCP 4.5 this issue worked much better than FCP 5.1. I mean that in this new version the video jumps and shakes much more then when we used the old version (repeat just 1 frame every second).
I do the same work than you, here in Spain, and the jumps are really annoying, it’s hard to concentrate on the animation. Sometimes artists ask this jumps as a mistake and I always has to explain the same.
Let’s do lots of noise, maybe we’ll get the 24@25speedup setup that someone mentioned above…

So, has anyone tried to do it with AutomaticDuck? Does it works fine?

I don’t know if Avid has the XML export option, I think it should work too. I’ve used this option to open FCP 5.1 projects in FCP 4.5 sw.

Hi Rob
Just right-click or ctrl-click a clip with the correct settings and press “copy”. Then select all the other clips, right-click any selected clip and press “paste atributes”, select “distort” and this should work.
You can do it by right-clicking one of the selected clips in your timeline and pressing “remove attributes” too.
Hope it helps!

Hi
You should digitize your material with a PAL preset and then do a “Batch Conform” 25 to 24. This will “deccelerate” the video speed and will work in your 23.98 timeline.
I understand this pal tapes comes from a digital camera and not from a 35mm telecine. If you are using telecine tapes don’t forget to input the “flex” files into CinemaTools.
Hope it helps

Hi
You can “batch confom” your clip again to 25fps using Cinema Tools.
Open Cinema Tools, cancel the open data base defalut, then File/Batch Conform, here you have all the options.
Take care, because this tool will conform all the clips in the same folder.Hope it helps

Hi
I don’t understand whether the corrupted files are the media files or the project file.
If the project file is corrupted just search in your scratch disk, there is a folder named “Autosave Vault”. FCP keep there copies of your last opened projects every 30 minutes.
But if the media file is corrupted, the only way is trying to recover the disk data with specialized software, but it is dangerous. Norton Disk Doctor for example could fix it.
Hope it helps…
