Thanks for the tip, but what I really want to do is have final cut import the clips correctly in the first place. Is there any way to set this, or does anyone know why its happening in the first place.
We are rendering from PCs with the AJA Kona 2vuy setting, however I have the same results rendering from a mac with the apple 8 bit uncompressed settings.

I realize you can do it this way, but it is a bit of a pain to have to lock things. I wish it was a preference. No one else knows of anything like this?
-
Wow, thanks Russ. That did it. I really appreciate it. Any idea on my other question I posted today?
-
I’ve tried this setup, but it doesn’t work as I am only using channels 1-4 on my mixer so if if I setup my edit this way, I won’t hear anything on tracks 5-8.

I see that option, however that was my point all along. When you click this option, the file is not a .mpg. How do you get a .mpg out of it?
-
I don’t see this setting in my compressor, and if I try to make it by hand it changes the extension to something that isn’t mpg and if I change it it won’t play.

Yes, that makes sense. You can definitely separate takes into subclips if you want. As long as you have the whole take you shouldn’t have to worry about handles.
-
Oh, well that solves it. Kind of a weird way to handle a scale, but at least I know where to find it now.

Well I have never been an Avid editor despite some experience with it.
To answer your speed change questions. I think you are doing it correctly. You can use the time remap function if you like or you can right click on a clip in the timeline and click speed. Then you can change the speed. The only annoying thing here is that it tries to ripple this clip so if there is a clip in the way, you may have to drag it to the end of your sequence and then bring it back. It is not making any new media. That isn’t really part of the FCP philosophy as it would use space on your drive. Obviously a render file will take up space though. I also recommend twixtor to do a bit nicer job with slow motion. This is a plugin made by ReVision FX.
The other way to handle speed change is to do a fit to fill edit. You mark the in and out on the source and timeline then hit shift F11.
As far as subclipping. You can mark the in and out in the viewer and then go to the modify menu and hit make subclip. This will add it to your bins. If you click on that clip when you rebatch, it should just do between the new ins and outs.
I would recommend to subclip with handles in case you need them. Subclips are not edits and shouldn’t be treated this way. Therefore don’t make a subclip as you want a clip to appear in your edit. Make it to roughly split up your large capture. Then just make edits with ins out outs, overwrites and inserts as you are used to in Avid.
I hope this helps.

Well I wish there was a better way. However, i did look up the droplet and that is a very nice feature.
