If your current machine can hold on for a few more months it might be wise to wait.

If you don’t like being tied to a monitor you may want to wait for the Mac Mini refresh. It will most likely be in June.

Hi Sarah,

Final Cut Pro doesn’t play nice with the H.264 codec. For optimal performance I would transcode the file to Apple ProRes.

Hi Brian,

I would export your video with it’s native dimension,(1280×720) and then import that .mov into your FCP project. Then make a new sequence with the custom dimensions you need. Drag that .mov into the custom sequence, render it out and you should be good to go.

Thanks Russell,

It seems like this can do everything the IO HD can do? Is that correct?

I know the question of “can I use copyrighted music for my video” has been covered to great lengths. Every professional in this market should know the answer to that. The question was: Can the client, (producer) take on the liabilities of using such music.

Thanks for your responses. This confirms what I was thinking. There is no way around this. Maybe I’ll cut the video to a similar tempo and let him do what he wants with it after that…

That is most likely your problem then. You will need to reformat using MAC OS Extended. You shouldn’t have a problem doing this using Disk Utility. For some reason I sometimes need to tell Disk Utility to partition the drive and then choose 0 or 1 for the amount. Don’t ask me why.

How is your drive formated? If it’s FAT 32 that could be the problem as you wouldn’t be able to export anything more than 4 gigs. I usually make sure all my drives are formated as Mac OS.

Thanks for your response, Since NAB is so close I am going to wait and see what transpires. Then I will most likely pick one up.

Hope everyones keeping busy!
