again it depends on format – dv25 will move cross platform I think,

if you imported the media rather than capturing then take the origional files across on dvd along with a medialess vision omf, then you can just batch import you vision, but watch your import setting at work…?

default – don’t know.
Not on express but on mc default is always first frame i think.

cntl A then q will display what you want but won’t update automaticaly.

not sure if I’ve understood the scenario but…

don’t use fade to white…

add an invisible(add edit) to the cropped image track, step into the clip after the invisible and colr effect/correct till it whites out/you can defocus aswell if needs be. Step back put and add a dissolve across the invisible..

post back if still problematic

[Geraint Pari huws]

it depends!

do you need to move the media?

audio is easy, you can either export an omf(consolidate first if necessary) at home and suck this back in at work, it will rebuild your sequence with the media.

vision can be a little more tricky, it depends exactly what systems you’re using, where did the vision material originate?

I may have misunderstood the question, again, I’m an avid guy not protools but why not…

export the protools session as an omf, and just suck this back to your avid and sync up to the old spot.

If he can’t omf he should be able to blow each track/pair out as wavs,
if the protools session isn’t that complicated then a last resort is a session back up on protools which will save all elements within a single folder

if you’re talking dv it may be a scene extraction issue??

If you’re talking digibeta it may be a camera tc generator problem, try switching your vt to read vitc or ltc as opposed to the usual auto setting.

sure – equate neg 20 db on fcp to o-level (vu) on you deck, most broadcasters restrict any material to peaking 8db above reference,
sooooo, you fcp meters should never peak above -12 db(if you’re reference at (-20db) – peak hold is useful here. Long term – invest in a pair of hardware ppms, they’re invaluable.

with a lack of any other answer…at what quality are you rendering?

[Geraint Pari huws]

I recall something similar, short of an Avid reinstall I think I copied all the folder contents(projects and users) to new folders(outside of the avid folder within programmes) at windows level and then navigated to them from the avid project start up menu…

avid pan and zoom is designed for simple rostrum moves on stills of a higher res, it gives avid some resolution independance, if you’re using tv res material you may aswell just use resize.
