Just happened to me 5 minutes ago on the DSLR forum.

[Phil Balsdon] “The 60D has a rotatable flip out LCD, why was it the only one?”
Don’t forget the GH2 🙂

Don’t be nervous. You’ve already ordered the stuff. It should work fine, but it’s not a big deal if it doesn’t. I shoot with the standard 25mb 24p and it looks great. I haven’t found the need to run the hack at all. If I were you I would just run some tests with the standard firmware before you even think about the hack. Have fun, it’s a great camera!

Heck yeah! It’s my biggest reason for updating to CS6.

[Jeremy Garchow] “Ok, I’m done now.”
I don’t think so mister! Somebody spelled “optical” wrong in the subject title and I want to know who’s responsible.

[Michael Hadley] “Re: Disk Images. I loved the concept. But I was having terrible performance issues with a XDCAM 100bmps multi cam project and the first thing Apple told me to do was copy the event out of the disk image. Their official policy seems to be “don’t use disk images.” Why? They couldn’t say, just that it was part of the trouble shooting protocol. So, now I am not using sparse disk images which is a shame.
Any one with some real computer chops care to comment?”
Well, that’s the downside. It does slow down your disk performance. I noticed this before but I just ran a test on my Pegasus R6 with Blackmagic Disk Speed Test. Pegasus root or folder: 510MBPS Write; 475MBPS Read. 100 GB Disk Image on Pegasus: 300MBPS Write; 250MBPS Read. It works fine for me because I’m running AVCHD, with one or two layers for most of my work. With multicam you obviously need to stream multiple layers simultaneously. While your speed may be fine directly from the RAID, you’re throttling down the performance to an unacceptable level with the disk image.

[Garrett Gibbons] “I send .fcp files to directors and producers out of state, they reconnect to media on their end, and revisions and tweaks are simple. A FCP X event -> XML -> FCP X event seems ridiculous, and the disk-end structure of FCP X events makes sharing very cumbersome.”
Garrett, have you looked into using disk images? Here is a good starting point: https://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/fcp_x_managing_disk_image_martin.html
Each event resides in its own disk image, so it’s really easy to control what FCPX sees at a given time. When you want to backup, copy, or move the project, just backup, copy or move the disk image.Jason Jenkins

What version of FCPX were you using?

[Jim Giberti] “I think Apple is going where they need to with X and this type of combination (with free Resolve) is going to make shooting and producing a lot more fun late summer.”
That’s really what it comes down to, doesn’t it? We are just a bunch of kids who want to play with fun toys! Oh, and get paid while we play.
