Honestly?
Low budget projects like this are often the hardest to finish. My suggestion is to refer them to a professional post house, have them get a quote… It will be hilarious, trust me. And it’ll give you some ideas to what you should be charging.

I think the problem is with formats that don’t support real time code and reel names.
And 5dtoRGB is your friend, and you should convince your clients to use it. Gets reel names based on file names into your 5d clips.
That said, I do wish filenes were taken into account. I feel like today in the modern post workflow filenames are more important that reels or time code.

All these workflows are clearly delineated in the manual. You could have saved yourself a lot of time if had just opened it.

I’ve had minimal issues getting FCP XML’s in and out of resolve 8 & 9. It’s pretty robust in my point of view. If its a really crazy timeline (pip, insane layering, variable spd fx). I just export a media managed project, import XML, and render with source file names and reconnect from my project. Easy peasy lemon squeesy.
Of course this is from someone who had to deal with final touch back in the day…

Liking mountain lion much better than lion. Except that it doesn’t like my printer too much… Davinci 9 is good, same with cs6 & fcs3

I’ve actually exported things through color after using DaVinci to grade just to get the ceiling, and more importantly for gamut issues, the floor. I really don’t understand why there isn’t a broadcast safe panel on the delivery panel. I know evy broadcaster has slightly different rules, but it just seems ridiculous that in this day and age one STILL has to use a hardware legalizer, or be ridiculously diligent with QC to avoid gamut issues especially on aggressive grades.

If you don’t want to buy a cubix and go inexpensive you can buy a gt120 from Mac vid cards, it’s a single slot you use as your GUI card… And a Gtx 570 for your double slot.
That’s Enough gpu power for most hd work.

I’ve solved the Apple Pro Res files, they were exported with “.mov” extensions…
And I just converted the AIFF’s to WAV’s and they’re recognized.
I’d love to know if there’s an issue with AIFF’s.
