thanks! ill try!
i read about alpha channels that have to be created inorder to have a logo overlay without a background, can this be done in fcp or is a helper prog needed.

now i dragged in a jpeg, before dragging it in i converted it to 1920×1080. it makes fcp hang.

i did try a fast internal, non-system drive after i first had it on a slower external 2.5 firewire drive. it didnt help

yes, after dragging the clip into the sequence fcp prompted me to change the sequence setting

i wonder if it has to do with audio sample rate, it maybe 44.1 while in the film its 48 khz. i didnt get a warning here. basically i dont need the video audio, just the regular audio. does final cut allow to convert the sample rate of the audio file or move the files the project is referring to from within fcp? or do i always have to go to soundtrack to change the sample rate or manually copy the files and drag them again into the project to use them from another drive?

nevertheless its surprising it seems to work even better on the macbook (again with the extewrnal firewire 2.5 drive)

i have no clue about how to set up fcp in a way that editing is easiest

when i look at the new xdcam filesthey seem to have a bit lkess contrast and more noise than the pro res files after mpge streamclip conversion
