Yes I realise that FCSvr is used for all other reasons…
but I thought that you dragged a clip into FCSvr and it would copy it into it’s own file structure.
from apple.com:
Drag-and-drop uploads
Drag a file or files from the Finder, the desktop, or a connected volume to the Assets pane. Drag an asset directly into a Production to add it to the catalog and the Production at the same time. Or use the Upload window to choose files to add to the catalog. Final Cut Server performs the remaining cataloging steps automatically. When you bring in a Final Cut Pro project, Final Cut Server catalogs all the referenced assets, skipping those that already exist in the catalog.
I would of thought this would be logical, as say a clip it needs (for compression etc) is on the desktop of a local machine, it would slow the machine down?

hehe
Yes agree it is dumb, but hey I’d have to say the default capture scratch/media management that let those messy critters called producers, no matter how many times you tell them put capture scratch folders within capture scratch folders and on mac HD to boot, and then complain that they can’t find a file, because they dragged it from the desktop, of which someone has deleted. sheesh. Final Cut Server is on the way JUST for this.
Have big hopes for loader:

godsakes Apple BUY IT!agree with you option idea. nice.
ooh, another way I’ve just tried is:
move clip to V2
lock all video and audio tracks: shift F5, shift F4
then unlock V2
apply speed change – making sure there are no other clips post that point on V2.Jon

…or you can copy it to the end of the timelime, apple J speed change, place on V2, copy to where it came from and trim….

[Sherwood Ball] “I thought “smooth” appears.”
Ease In/Ease Out appears – just like in AE. Try it.
Motion/FCP integration is fine – just don’t embed motion content so you can go backwards.

[Sherwood Ball] “is there a fast and easy way to create a soft landing ala ease in/ease out without doing a boatload of keyframing?”
You can in the canvas window right or control click on the motion path point – ease in/out will appear.
Good to go into the sequence settings>video processing tab> change motion filtering to best.

[Jaap Verdenius] “Scaling the clip to 133% will make it full frame vertically (no more letterbox) and crop it horizontally.”
but this is wrong and is what I am saying:
If SD PAL is 720×576 (with D1 pixels), and anamorphic is 720×576 (with rectangular pixels) there should be no need for scaling – it should be just a simple aspect ratio of -33% to change the pixels to a size of 1024×576.
At a 133% scale there is an obvious degradation to the image, when there is no reason to be.

Try cropping a couple of pixels and feathering.

Is this Dataton’s watchout system?
If it is I’ve got quite a few tips for you, that will save you a lot of hairs.
