OK, Thanks for the help

This is a good thought, but how do you transfer the nested markers up to the timeline?

Thanks very much! – that works well enough, shift tilde – better than redoing everything – although yes, I know the DVD SP markers won’t update – have to simply throw out that old MPEG 2 version in DVD SP 4 and reimport the new updated marker version of the MPEG 2 video (if I understand correctly)?

Thank you

Thanks for all replies – I’ve got about 45 chapter markers throughout the program- I’m doing other things at the moment but when I get to it, I wonder how to copy a marker, then simply paste it in the proper place?

Well then there must be an efficient way or work around to move these guys down…can’t believe FCP can’t do this, but then again…

Sounds good thanks

Thanks David – you’re right re: just changing the compressor setting to 8-bit, makes sense…but question I have is if the LT files were made NONE and the 8-bit is made NONE, wouldn’t that make the graphics truly uncompressed and very clean? Or I guess that would ruin in essence the DV footage because it’s lower no matter what, right.

Also, can I just change the compressor setting to 8-bit and without rendering simply export that seq to Compressor and let it do all the rendering, etc?

yep, I’m going to buy, not lease – the lease deal was not that great, certainly not 0% as Christopher got, and there is the benefit to sell the equipment later…Thanks for all replies, very helpful

Well, there’s the nVidia 8800 card, 8 gigs non-Apple RAM, 2 x 750GB drives, 1×23″ Apple display, Applecare…starts to add up…

As for 3rd party the lease company says no problem, they’ll just add the hardware in as if/when I request.
