Thanks Guys. I appreciate your time. Ronny, your advice did it for us.

I will say the multi-cam option is better here then the one we use in FCPS and better then anything else I have used. The Sync option is a godsend alone. These projects come in once in a blue moon but they take up a lot of time and space.

Our machine got a little boggy and we have to be patient but that wasn’t unexpected. I would say FCPX has it’s place with a small town money making pro of 15+ years like me. I can see where a couple of my 5 figure jobs needed a little more. I don’t really care what people think of me based on what software I use. I only care that I am still working and my clients are happy.

So far I would say we are happy with most of it.

Thanks again.

Hi David….I am going to look into this. Thank You! I will look into a fresh install. I’d like to get another year or two out of my machine (unless I see the time to sell is now before there is little or not value left).

Time to look into the tutorials. May I ask here…..I have the old Leopard Install Disc….Lion was purchased at the Itunes store and needed the old disc as I recall but was installed over Leopard. I assume I will not be installing from the original disc if it’s a fresh install correct?

Thanks….The 64bit goal was more about trying to get everything to behave and not cause problems; Not really to improve speed. I am reasonably happy with my speed for a Mac of this age…just not with Motion 5.

Fair enough….but disappointing as this footage is destined for nothing but reunions and funerals, and there is about 250 hours of this stuff.

OK…but let’s take this up a notch….I am archiving footage for a fire department….I have VHS, VHS-C, 8, Hi8, SVHS, and D8, and DV footage som as 20 years old. All the analogue footage is caught on a Black Magic card and the files are huge. So what is a good Codec compromise for footage that I can store everything on? I was going to go H.264.

Yep! That was it…..that’s what I get…..A serious case of HIA for being up all night…..thanks….I will get back to my books soon.

Never used the wireframe before so never bothered to learn it.

Regards,

I will try that. At the time I didn’t even have the DVD. She was waiting for it to get back from the duplicators. I have it now though.

My experience is that when using Streamclip it tends to dump everything down in an unusual order. I was worried that the time code she made with the log sheet I gave her would no longer match up with the files I am editing. It’s a training tape with 7 independent videos coming off the menu. Of course having the DVD I might be able to just check her marks if I were to rip it with Streamclip.

I will try both your suggestions and see what I get. Thanks

Too Late. I ordered FCP.

For me to order a full CS3 upgrade I am being told is 3-5 business days. But I have been on the PC for years and they won’t cross platform upgrade in one step. So after I get the PC version I have to order it again for the Mac, destroy the originals they sent, and wait another 3-5 days. I am already a week behind thanks to these problems.

It bums me out though. I don’t work in Hollywood and don’t care to. I don’t care if people are impressed that I have FCP or not. Certainly my clients don’t care. Premiere was pretty good on the PC in my opinion. It got me into the DV market at a price I could afford.

I suppose there is a reason FCP has the reputation it has. We are about to find out. I will have to wait for After Effects for a year or so. I am now over budget.

Yeah I did. I asked if anybody knew if the purchased version was more stable than the trial version. I have one reply. It went something like this…..

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!

Buy FCP or Avid Express.

The Premiere Pro 1.5 version on my PC responds very quickly. We had some lag issues early on but they were solved in short order. The Matrox RT100 kept my machine quick enough to use the box for going on 6 years now. My biggest complaint was merely that big projects were buggy and crashed when used in conjunction with the Matrox card. When I was doing complicated work I turned off my hardware card and that solved most issues.

The lag I am experienced really should be more of a crash, or lock up. There is absolutely no way to get any work done with this problem. And I can only in part accept the opinion that Premiere is doing this because it doesn’t fully support Quicktime. That is the only fomat that the trial even came loaded with. If that was the case I think I would see more complaints here.

Incidently, I doubt this has anything to do with my new machine. At least it’s low on my suspect list. I have a dual core Mac Pro 3.0, 8 mg of video ram, and Raid level5. I think it’s more to do with a software issue. The trial version is suspect but it is over a gig in size and accepts serial numbers after purchase so you would think it is actually the same software.

I don’t know. I am trying to get a hold of Adobe.
