Hey Taylor,
I’ve notice sometimes the when I bring .movs or other file types in FCP it will say unrecognizable but they still play fine. WHen I have file problems I tend to convent the .mov to NTSC-DVCPRO codec the files are huge but it usually solves the problems. Good Luck. Hopefully your files are corrupted.

Well I’ve got it working now I’m using h.264 customs setting FCP seems to like it and now instead of a 3min clips being 400mb its only 8-10mb. I just wanted to avoid exports 80 clips out and tying up my computer for 15hours lol.

Thanks for the advice Maybe Ill put some more indy work in there. I do know after effects maybe I make some graphics and throw those in as well. What I meant by you being “lucky” was the fact that you were in the right place at the right time and knew the right people. The fact is someone decided to give you an opportunity to prove yourself (in a paying environment) And I’m really glad that your doing great. Your school is more expensive than mine but worth it . The success rate is though the roof! at AI. I have 2 reels I’ve done allot of student indy work but its looks really low budget and crappy not good enough to be put on a reel, I only did it to try and network. Like I’ve said before and have been told It’s about making the right connections (which you did) and being in the right place. I’ve never said my reel was awesome or perfect or the best ever. It’s professional work I’ve done thats actually appeared on Cable television and not at a art house or indy fest, thats basically my pitch to advertise myself as a editor who’s worked in a professional broadcast environment, who understands this software, I’m not looking to edit features, My dream was to actually edit trailers at Trailer Park Inc. in hollywood.

Ya I had really bad internships mainly because my supervisor hated his job there and therefore hated being there, that was the case most of the time,another internship the company went under while I was working there. another internship promised me I would have a shot at a in house paid position but when it was up told me they like to see people with College Degrees. I’ve had the worst luck in internships and know unfortunately i can’t afford to do free internships I work full time and have school debt to pay off with interest. I really is a crappy experience all together.

ya I know the drill I did internships I have a good reel. Actually one of my teachers the last quarter i went to school told me to pick a new career. I’m happy for the Taho guy who got all these lucky breaks. I’ve meet a dozen editors that I could edit circles around but they new the right people. I did over a dozen internships and I they did help me (at that time) but when I started getting more stuff on my reel and started getting paid to edit I stopped cause I didn’t need a student quality feature on my reel. It just sucks I’ve had the worst luck these last 5 months. All my connections at school are looking out for numero uno and who can blame them. 4 of my editing teachers say they have nothing for me and 1 teacher even flat out denied me an interview at his post house because I was currently taking a class with him. I’m a nice social professional guy who happens to know allot about computers and editing. thanks to all you responded to this post I just needed to “scream” in a way to vent my anger. Below is my website if any of you have suggestions please email me.

I went to columbia college hollywood a “Film making” school I wanted to be a producer and realized that its a long hard poor road to go down so I focused on learning Software programs so I could get work. One quarter at Columbia cost 5,200 dollars and thats not including living expensives. It wasn’t until my last year I had realized I had pissed all my money into this crap school. I laugh at it to. 60,000 is a lot of money.
