1. Vernor’s Ginger Ale (plus Grippo’s BBQ potato chips)
2. Coffee: Millstone Columbian Supremo (preferred), but usually McDonald’s large 2 creams 5.5 sugars. Then any available caffeine after 9pm. -
Great! I’m getting the same camera with the 17-85mm and a couple primes. Looking to get back into b&w photography after 20 years. Photoshop takes much less time than wet process. As an editor (as we all know) I have very little spare time. I can achieve the same results in about 15-20 minutes in PS that would normally take a couple days in the darkroom! I finally realized this year that, after years of using PS for video, I could use it for photography! (duh.) After seeing some spectacular digital photos, I got my first Nikon point and shoot. One more convert from film to digital (although i still love film).
I was intrigued by Aperture, but I guess I’ll wait until the dust settles.

The one I use is on my sony clie and it’s “SMPTE/Film Calculator” from Kevin Kliesch midiguru@pacbell.net. I got it off of a palm os website, but i don’t remember which one. Also there’s one for Excel at https://www.belle-nuit.com/timecode/

Pay attention to your video levels if your video is to be broadcast. Video that is too hot is ‘illegal’ and runs the risk of being rejected by the broadcaster. Using your range check, waveform monitor and vectorscope helps to make sure that you have legal video.

I am more annoyed by the post. From my perspective, only a few years ago you would have paid well over $100,000 for what we can get today for a few thousand.
Actually I am grateful to Apple for even offering a top flight NLE for $999 and a suite of apps for $1299. If they wanted to gouge us they could have easily charged $5-$10,000. In reality, Apple has SAVED all of us thousands of dollars. Just hop over to Avid and see how much they charge! Shake is much cheaper now.
Is it me or is it not incredible that we can purchase a quad-processor, 4 gigs of ram, and an awesome video suite for $5500???
Props to you, Apple.

I had the same problem this morning (of course the program is due today!). I ran into a problem of having a section of the timeline that just wouldn’t render. I did all the usual procedures, but to no avail. Finally, I read further down the fcp cow that an unrecognized file could cause this problem. Unfortunately, in FCP 5 there seems to be a bug that doesn’t make offline files recognizable in the timeline. They just look like normal clips, but are really offline. After I located the offending clip the timeline resumed normal rendering.

What I meant was I didn’t want anyone to get confused and set an analog deck to -20db. Not everyone is digitizing and laying off digital.
