    Loading Tiger caused you to end up with the default Quicktime install, which doesnt include the MPEG2 component. You need to re-install DVD Studio Pro to get it back.

    If the entire project conisists of this PAL footage, then just edit the whole thing in PAL, then convert the finished product to NTSC.

    The Nattress converter works beautifully…in addition, FCP 5 comes with Compressor 2, which can also do a good standards conversion job, but is slower.

    The Windows versions of Quicktime do not include the 8 and 10 bit codecs used by FCP. Both of you can install the Blackmagic Quicktime Codecs, the same uncompressed codec used for Decklink cards…its supported by both Mac and PC. Its a free download and you do not have to have a Decklink card to use it.

    I don’t think you will find a simple way to convert your FCP work into an open EXR sequence.

    what its supposed to do and what it does are sometimes 2 different things.

  • Send to Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project is for single clips, so if you have more than one selected it will be greyed out.

    If you want to do a multitrack project, you need to select Send To Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project.

    Does that work for you? It should.

    If you want to work on the whole sequence, select it in the browser

    Just like in v4.x, select the sequence and then select Modify/Make Sequence Clips Independent.

    If that doesn’t work, drag the sequence into a new project (this makes a copy that breaks the links to the original master clips)

    As strange as it sounds, I think they made the proxy look worse so people would realize they needed to render instead of complaining that they were a little fuzzy.

    Stop using your computer now. Anything written to disk after you emptied the trash can overwrite the data and make it unrecoverable.
    Emptying the trash does not remove the data from the disk, just breaks the pointers to it and tells the computer that its okay to overwrite it.

  • If you are familiar with the Avid interface you will be comfortable on the current version of Xpress Pro. Older versions did not use the Source/Record paradigm that both Media Composer and FCP use (they used pop-up windows for source clips). Avid deliberately removes some conveniences from the interface that Media Composer has, but overall it works the same.
    The big thing you lose by going to Avid is flexibility. With FCP, you can buy a capture card that suits your budget and workflow. There are many options from AJA, Blackmagic and Aurora. With Avid, if you want to work with more than DV, you have the inexpensive Mojo (a clunky little box with non-pro connectors) and thats it. The next step up is Media Composer Adrenaline…much more expensive.
