hi ALL > sorry this conversation is over > but it is relevant to my current situation

Computer: MBP 10.6.8 > 4gb RAM
Software: FCP 7 Suite

Working with more HD footage

Computer > Log and Transfer time is slow > FCP Time line rendering is slow > playback sluggish

Money is tight and I am trying to initially figure out if I can still optimize this Unit till I can purchase a NEW Desktop and then decide what software to use since Apple decide to not continue FCP 7 to be installed

Tried using my ESATA configuration again, seemed to work at first, opened project seem a little faster, rendered a sequence, but when I returned to the computer > FCP crashed a couple times > then was sluggish after starting up again

Q: Is it perhaps the cheap Express Card i purchased? You guys mentioned something about rebooting each time? Anyway if anyone can chime in I some tips and advice I am broke n need to get work done > if I can still work this laptop to external GDRIVE configuration > please I am open to any and all suggestions > thanks

hey Guys,

thanks for this GoPro Hero HD discussion

I have also been field testing — and I still have a few lingering Questions & Concerns:

* My camera setting is Stuck – yes, stuck — in TimeLapse mode — read some other forums seems to be an epidemic — have not heard back from the GoPro folks, yet — any suggestions?

* What is the best FCP Project/Sequence Setting? I want my footage to be 16:9 and in some cases match some other HD footage/aspect ratio — was really surprised when my footage still appeared 4:3

any and all comments, suggestions — thank you

hi Rick,

awesome work!! Thanks for sharing… but I looked at some of those pieces and I am not seeing MAP samples?

[James Haefner]

Trying to follow — if you could elaborate — and sure I will learn more as I try it —

do you have a Brief sample of what you did? if you don’t mind — showing it — either Video or a Screenshot

thanks

I feel your pain, brother. Please keep me posted on what you discover, and best of luck!
