Here in the UK, traditional offline edit shops run both FCP7 and Avid. I think many will switch to an Avid only environment with some PP.
FCPX is a tough sell for “preditors” as they cant easily interoperate with existing sound/online suites they need.
Which is a shame, FCPX would be a great tool for them to use. -
Greg, you are a king amongst men. This is why I love the COW as much as I do !
Thanks for the tip, i hope it solves my encoding issues as well. Will let you know

[Shane Ross] “Here’s my workaround. Make a ProRes 422 720p 59.94 sequence. Put the footage into it. Use that as your source, then use another sequence with the same settings for editing. “
That seems work ok, its also ok to work full 1080p (!). Thing is, I need to make deliverables for an EVS system.
They are demanding 720p DNxHD which then dont import properly on my end and dont seem to work for them either.I really think there is a problem with the new(ish) drivers. Seems crazy that no-one tested this with FCP !
If anyone has experience exporting or working with DNxHD .mov workflows, id love to hear from you
Unless you’re watching Superbowl obviously ;P

Thats what I thought, just wanted to see if its just me or its common throughout the FCP land..
Thanks for checking though, will let you know if I glean further details

Yeah, thats what I get as well. Its not consistent and seems to knock out any further ideas. Maybe roll back to an earlier codec package ?

Yes, 2.3.2 installed.
Do you get the same error if you set-up a sequence at 1280 x 720, 59.94 ?

[Bill Davis] “And can also be seen as “if you need to keep working the way you always have – X is not the right choice for you.”
OTOH “If you want to explore other ways of working and your shop structure will allow it – then X might be a great tool to enable you to start to explore how editing might be done somewhat differently in what looks to be an increasingly “data driven” future.”
Agreed ! Do you think there will be further cross-over though ? I could see the other NLE adopting a keyword and tagging system ?

[Ben Scott] “I would also say it is crazy for your staff to learn 2 massive pieces of software to achieve the same outcome, go with one not 2.”
Thats doesn’t sound crazy to me mate !

[Bill Davis] “a program designed to re-think video creation workflows – rather than just keep doing things as we always have in the past “
Seems to me that you are FORCED to re-think and re-build thanks to no built-in FCP7 import. Which has now been magically fixed by a third party app

[Helmut Kobler] “2) The ability to set In and Outs on the timeline, and export just that section of my work. Right now, the only way you can export a portion of the timeline is to Export to Compressor, which takes a while to load, and even longer to set In and Out points.
“Can it seriously not do this ? I ran into the same problem the other day !
