Trash preferences too… Is color smoothing applied as the first filter in the order of operations?

Why not just build this in your sequence and export? Seems more simple than hooking up hardware.

You guys should all write for The Onion

Awesome, thanks!

What about separate user accounts on the computers?
… your trouble-maker could have his own log-in for his own personalized account, that way he’s only creating a mess for himself, not everyone else.
I used to manage a student/faculty multimedia lab at American University, and that’s how we solved this type of issue – personalized user accounts, instead of jut one student account.
Also, set up a Desktop Background that reminds the students to check their scratch disk settings. We used an “Automator” script that also sent a pop-up reminder to the students when they launched FCP.
You could also grade the students on their ability to follow instructions… in theory, that should be incentive enough for him (others) to do things the right way!

The same thing happened when I opened an autosave project…
Any ideas?
Running… FCP 6.0.5, OSX 10.5.6

“Curious Case of Benjamin Button” also was nominated but did not win… I don’t think an FCP cut film has won an Oscar, an article I read said that Benjamin Button would have been the first… Avid’s first was “English Patient” 1996 I think.

Milestones
Aside from my own personal good wishes for the nominees, these films provide some other interesting ingredients. If certain of these films win in their categories, a number of milestones will have been reached. For instance, Avid editing and Pro Tools audio products are well-represented again (as in past years), but a win in the editing category for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button means a milestone for Apple. It will have been the first Oscar winner for editing in which Final Cut Pro was used. This will be as big an event for FCP users as when Walter Murch won for The English Patient in 1996 – the first editing Oscar for a film cut on an NLE – an Avid Media Composer. Another important editing milestone was Thelma Schoonmaker’s 2004 win for The Aviator, which she cut on a Lightworks system. -
I know “Cold Mountain” was cut on FCP, and was nominated for the Oscar… I think it lost to “Lord of the Rings”.

Are all of your FCP sequence settings (render control/video processing) set to “Best”?

Which export method are you using? Are you exporting a direct Quicktime Movie, or using Quicktime Conversion or Export w/ Compressor?? That will also make a difference… the latter 2 will be much slower.
