Kris,
I have a proper suite at home that I will do the editing on. I am faced with having to do light editing to make sure i do not prematurely fill up my external, leaving me without any room for important events towards the end of camp. I feel I have to work within the given parameters of fcp 5.1 so that I can cut footage i don’t need out of the clips and reduce file sizes and give me the exact footage I want while not filling up the external….5.1 timeline seemingly will only give me AIC 1280x720p 30 and 1080 i 60…the footage shot at 1280×720 60 seems to work on the timeline…just seems jerky sometimes, so i might be doing something wrong….or it is all in my head….thanks for your reply and your willingness to help me out…gratefully yours…Gerald McLaughlin
