The 13in screen is easily fixed with an external display for usage when you are at home. However, what about the graphics card. 64 MB, will that be able to hold its own. Especially with open gl aps like maya, after effects, motion, etc?

I should mention its not happening often, on either computer, but this will happen on a colleagues system as well. This is independent of sequence type as we are almost always running 8 bit uncompressed sequences.

I would also check your sequence settings. If the text is not animated a sequence with a field dominance set will make it look aliased. I would change your sequence setting, field dominance = none. This should clean it up 100%, let me know if it works.

Will you suffer any speed bump by working on a project folder on the network? Also, if you are going to back up the project file on the network nightly, why not work directly off of the raid?

I looked on the Cow’s tutorials and wasn’t able to find this. Does anyone have a link to this?

I would recommend trying to export a clip back to tape and see if it looks okay on the samsung and z1 again. Perhaps its your computer monitor or just some luma or gamma shift final cut is doing on preview.

If none of those other suggestions worked, try changing your sequence settings. Check the field dominance. Your text will look best when field dominance is set to none. It won’t effect the use of field rendered clips, just FCP generated material.

I understand that you want to maintain the full resolution of your images and of course that is wise. However, you do not want to work in a timeline that is 4000×4000 or anything like that. Your final medium will be HD at largest resolution. So the largest timeline you would need to deal with is 1920×1080 and of course you can shrink the images to fit or pan and zoom on the images. Therefore from a resolution standpoint there is no need for using AE. However, I do like keyframing in AE better than final cut. As suggested do a few tests. If its just simple pans and zooms FCP5 would definitely suffice. Not sure about 4.5 as I am not as familiar with it. Remember, especially for VHS and DVD you are looking at SD or DV resolutions of 720 x 486 or 720 x 480.

Thats not a bad solution, but I had having to always redo my transitions and that is the beautiful part of the paste attributes – content feature. Anyone else have any other suggestions?

Hey I just read David’s post and checked the final cut manual and you can export Mpeg2s so ignore that. However, for some reason my quicktime conversion export does not have this option. Does anyone have any ideas on that topic either?
