Oh right.
Thanks for your help everyone. I’m wiping and reinstalling everything. Gets too complicated any other way.

Yeah, I just used the software to transfer everything.
Now that I have already done it, should I uninstall FCS on the new machine and reload, or can I just install over the top of the old?
Thanks for your help. I really do appreciate it.

Interesting info. I tried to login to FCP as is, with the new drive just copied over to see what happens. Whenever I tried to render a video file, I received an error message – File Error: Access Denied. I wonder if this is because I haven’t done a fresh install on FCP.

So true. Thank you very much.
I must say I’m a little surprised there isn’t a way to head that off in Illustator… that would make things too easy I suppose.
Thanks.

Only problem right now is that it keeps exporting the image in a 4:3 aspect ratio, and is pressing the 16:9 picture. Any suggestions?

The camera is very lightweight, so it really is a great traveling camera. I also love the HC SD cards, because I can just pack them away easily. The biggest challenge there is not losing them – they are very small. The workflow is easy with FCP. Not sure what to recommend for you as far as the laptop/harddrive situation. Just depends on your situation. If you really, really don’t want to mess with dragging that laptop around, then you could just buy a stack of those HC SD cards, and just hang on to them until you get back and just sell them when you are done.
I love this camera though. Good luck.

I got the camera in. It is AWESOME. It was also really easy importing from the HCSD cards. I just used a SD card reader I had laying around, and used the log and transfer function. Easy easy. I’m sure there is probably a faster way to do it, but that was really easy.

All points taken, processed, digested and saved. Thanks to everyone for their input. I definitely realize that the “concept” is 75% of the equation here. I just want to give myself a good direction to get started, as there is so much to learn. I am realizing that I want to approach this as a trade with earning potential, in addition to doing something that I just find interesting. Most of the freelancers that I work on various projects with are really talented and have covered most of the other areas, so I am seeing this as something which I can contribute on a more substantial level. AE seems interesting for several reasons – 1) the Adobe workflow. The designers I often do my web stuff with obviously use Adobe products, so it seems like it would promote the workflow a bit in that regard. I realize Motion is a very capable program, and I have been trying to use it and learn more about it as I go.
I think part of the problem with this stuff is just where to start. I use Lynda.com for my Flash and video projects, and that has served me really well. I see many “festival’s” and “seminars” that you can take an AE class for a few days, but I’m just not sure which are worthwhile, if any of them are to get started. My thinking now is to use Lynda to familiarize myself with fundamentals of Motion/AE, and once I have a grasp of that, then perhaps Advanced seminars might be of some value.
I am obviously brand new to motion graphics, so being able to get input from people that use it really helps. Thanks for the input everyone.
