What FCP version are you on, what OSX, cards, etc. What did you just install lately, etc are important for troubleshooting. Post those facts & you’ll get better answers quicker.

Everyone has told me to ERASE & INSTALL when going to Tiger. So make sure all of your components are ready for the leap, becasue it takes a while to back-up & then restore everything should you have to go back. I have Medea raids for example that the drivers aren’t ready to play nicely with Tiger yet. It makes since not to upgrade just for the sake of upgrading- IMHO.

I don’t know why they defalut to 100% leaving no memory for background processes, but I’ve had mine set to 95% & bumped up the still cache to 30% from 10% because I have a lot of cuts on the timeline. So that extra still cache keeps my timeline chugging along nicely.

Just reinstall 6.5.2 & life will be well again. After you re-install your code again, course 🙂

Tell them AVID just bought Pinnacle & who knows what he is going to get after the transistion is complete! (although this comment might have to do something about me losing my support with the Pinnacle Cinewave… wink, sniffle, cry, haha)

I don’t own one of these cards yet but from my understanding they won’t accelerate your HDV streams to give you additional RT streams. HDV, although is a small data rate in size, it’s very tasking on the computer since it uses the LONG GOP process. It basically has to read ahead to the next I-frame & calculate the data that is in-between them causing your CPU & HD’s to crank. If you want more RT using HDV it’s all about your machine’s processor(s), RAM, Disks, etc. capture cards really won’t help other than as a monitoring source. If all you are working on is HDV then maybe you won’t need as expensive of a card & monitor your video through a less expensive alternative. Then you can apply the rest of the money towards other system upgrades. Let people know what your intensions are & I’m sure people can offer up viable combinations of product for your needs. Best of luck.

You need conceptualize your intentions of use with there surroundings. We just purchased an InFocus-X3 yesterday (we’ll see how it plays soon) because it was about a grand, light enough to travel with (6lbs.), 1600 lumens in normal mode & 1100 in whisper quite mode, & a native resolution of XGA 1024 x 768. For the boardrooms that we will use it in (seating about 6 people) showing a mix of web, graphics, video, and PowerPoint presentations will work fine.

I have heard wonderfull things about the new SoundtrackPro; it supposedly acts like a ProTools type program that can allow you to really optimize your audio. By chance do you have the new production suite & have tried this out yet?

You will need Director, Flash might work depending on what extent your project will go to but if you were going to buy something might as well get Director.
